I'm particularly thinking of using this as activity for teaching in the ESL class. I figure it could be a creative and interesting task that would require students to work in groups and discuss. They could later present their ideas to the class. Also, they could play their games. Anyone know of a good primer on card game and/or board game design?
What are the best card and board games for teaching English as a Second Language?
Last year, having the chance to compete in RPG Superstar was a great thrill. Being able to get honest and straightforward feedback on my ideas from professionals made it well worth the effort I put in. Your dedication to this contest was reward enough. This year, I can't wait to watch how the contest unfolds. I hope that both those who are selected and those who aren't appreciate the time and energy you put in and remember that you do this out of a love for the industry and out of a desire to encourage new writers to sharpen their pencils and their skills. 
I'm planning to organize a summoner vs. summoner arena battle called something along the lines of "Skirmish Rings of Vudra". Each player brings one summoner and one Eidolon to the skirmish ring. Contests will be one on one. Summoners cannot directly attack each other but can attack each other indirectly through their eidolon or summoned creatures. Summoners can attack their opponents eidolon or summoned creatures. Battle ends when one summoner dies or one eidolon is defeated. Summoners and Eidolon begin the battle in their rings but may move from their rings to the arena floor if they wish. This will be first come (fully statted summoner and eidolon) first serve. Any interest? 
Unlike combat traits, faith traits, magic traits, and social traits, smurf traits can be taken more than once and, in fact, you are encouraged to do so. Also, most smurfs spend all their feats on the 'additional traits' feat. The condition that "These traits must be chosen from different lists, and cannot be chosen from lists from which you have already selected a character trait" does not apply for smurf traits.
So, my son's homework assignment was to ask me about a courageous person that he could introduce to his class. I thought about talking about Rosa Parks or Canadian Terry Fox or Ghandhi. I decided on Mother Jones because my son is quite anti-socialist and I wanted to challenge him a bit. Who would you have picked? Who do you think of as particularly courageous?
Throughout the duration of your journey on The Harsh Mistress the crew have been busily rebranding goods, forging bills of lading, and in other ways making illegally acquired goods look plausibly legal. Despite this, the ship still docks in Diobel not Absalom. Ronnot Twistback catches the attention of the heroes and says, "Stay close to me. Don't panic." The wharf here is much less busy than any of those in Absalom would be. A man with a large dagger skins and guts fish dumping the waste in the harbour.
Spoiler:
He's good with a dagger but is throwing away far too much of the fish. He has no idea how to skin a fish. A pair of men are haggling over the price of several cages full of mangleclaws.
Spoiler:
This is obviousl a charade. They seem to be confused as to which one of them is supposed to be the fisherman and which is the merchant. A few other men watch the boat dock with anticipation.
The rat-a-tat-tat of a third flight of arrows rains down on the roof and the few remaining bystanders dive under tables. More than one arrow manages to pierce the wooden roof and stick in beams of floorboards. What a mess this is. Just how do you get yourselves into things like this? How indeed. Let's recap. It all started when you responded to a summons from an Andoran army General...
I'm starting two PbPs this fall. First seats in both of them go to consistant players in previously completed PbPs. This thread is to help sort the different players into two groups. Some players will be coming into 'Entombed with the Pharoahs' at 6th level. Others will join 'Tower of the Last Baron' at 5th level. This is the thread for sorting those parties.
The little keep you arrive at seems a strange place to be holding a joust. Far from even a large town, there seems to be no rhyme or reason for the keep's existence. A remnant from the Shoanti conflicts, the keep is the northernmost remaining evidence of the power Korvosa once projected over the Cinderlands. That it continues to thrive in peacetime is a mystery. The small market is abuzz with excitement -- if you can call half a dozen people talking casually "abuzz." The stall keepers and guards look at you as you approach. "There's another one for the joust, I reckon," says a guard loud enough for you to hear.
My son (Nerrat Dei) and I would like to invite characters of levels 3 to 6 to a joust at Kerrigan's Keep. Feel free to bring existing characters from your home games or PbPs. Awaken characters in PbPs that folded. Make up new characters if you wish (use Pathfinder Beta rules and a 20 point buy). Level three is a good mimimum level for the jousts. In game time, the joust will take a few days. All are welcome.
Restart an argument that has been hashed and rehashed until 'Dead Horse' shows up and gives his death rattle. Suggest a change to the rules that would kill a cherished and traditional part of the game until 'Sacred Cow' moos.
I found something at a used bookstore today for $10.00. It appears to be the white box set. The product number is 2002. The first book looks a lot like this but it doesn't have the $3.50 price tag at the bottom. Otherwise it is identical. Anyone have any idea what I found?
I've been out of town for a few days. Has Sebastian taken responsibility for this yet or is he still hiding behind the anonymity of the internets like a coward?
I want to buy the print version of Classic Monsters Revisited when it is reprinted (if ever) but I can't wait that long to hear about the minotaurs. What did they do with the minotaurs? Why did some people say it was underwhelming?
