What do you all use for grid? I made a quick fortress setup with my dungeon pieces (not dwarvenforge) that I'll try to post later. It's the fortress island with the chimeras from City of Seven Spears. If we are on no gridded terrain we use square dowel rods cut to PC specific movement and paint every other inch black. We use longer sticks for range, line of sight, elevation, and to spit in the eye of Pathagrous. If you are interested in other gridless options search youtube for DM's Craft with DM Scotty. He has good options and advice on giving up the grid. I still use wet erase and game paper a lot as well as published maps wit grids, but if I make stuff it is great to ignore it.
If you are willing to do a little minor work. Check out Modest Magic .com. This guy lazer cuts high density foam on the cheep! Wall pieces for dungeons and buildings that snap together. slap on a base coat and a dry brush and BAM, table full of terrain. He has more than wall pieces and he does custom stuff too. I haven't ordered anything yet but I plan on it. I will post a review when I do. Definitely check this out if you have worked with foam before and want a cheep, quick way to put a ton of precision terrain on your table.
I am such a bad DM. No,man. You are not a bad DM (clears throat),GM. I have never played in your game but I have read your posts. You are invested in your game and your players. You prep as well as come here seeking inspiration and in other Serpent's skull threads look at what other GM's have done to avoid pitfalls and improve your game and your players experience. Lots of GM's don't bother.
Howdy. Pirate as well as folks I have followed on youtube for a while have inspired me to share some of my Serpent's Skull prep. Here is my most recent. Check out the channel for an older build of the wreck of the Jenever and more to come. video 1
It would be nice if they would sell AP kits with map, NPC/monster minis, as well as NPC portraits. +1 I know this has come up in other product discussion and that many things make it impractical, but.......Please....pretty please? It would be so nice. What if you held a future AP back until complete so there is time for product support items then release all at once. Could be bundled or purchased separately.I know that if an AP I was interested in came out and already had all 6 volumes, maps, minis, item cards, npc portraits, etc and I could get it all in just one click, I would jump on it. The amount of prep time it would save me would be worth the cost. Not to mention escaping the disappointment of seeing awesome product support be released for a product I was DONE with months ago.
Looking to make a scavenger hunt for me and my group for some friendly competition at gen-con 2012. things like.... Clinton Boomer's signature. Pic of iconic dressed cos-player holding one of your condition cards. Get Ryan Costello, Jr to record your outgoing voice mail. etc, etc just looking for some ideas. Having never been to gen-con (despite 20 years of trying) I'm sure there are lots of things that would never occur to me. Sorry if this should be in a different board.
sorry for cruddy shorthand. using my phone to log results while play testing. "**#* it, we are doing it live!" 5 PC's
7 out of 10 on easy of play. Unclear what levels for each tier. The challenge was good and appropriate. Spider nice and tricky. liked the altered tindertwig. 9 out of 10 on fun. well designed and good flow.
Fantastic! Just wish it'd come out with #1 instead of #6, but I'm guessing it has to wait til the artwork for 6 is finished before. I would utilize that, but not everyone rocks the paper minis. I don't think Piazo would want to go through the trouble to include something with the AP that most people wont use. I totally agree with the time frame though. If Paizo could get these and/or the paper mini line on track with the AP volumes they could move a LOT more.also, smurf
Mr. Thacker, I would love to play in one of your games! This will be my groups 1st gencon (I have tried to talk them into it for years) and I'm not sure how event tickets work for GM specific slots. Is that possible or is it luck of the GM draw? As an aside, I would love to see some pics of your new gaming room I have heard so much about on KD.
Its subjective from the start, after all theres a thread up right now with a group planning 90th level characters. No, Seriously.This is the only definition of 'broken' I really heed. oh link please! this i must see.
@everyone. Thank you all for your responses, man I love this community. Back in the day we would have just devolved into 3 days of arguing and no community to turn to. ya interwebs! @ Mabven the OP healer. In this player's defense, he brought this up because he thought it was broken, not to use with one of his PC's. Sometimes when we end up with game down time due to an absent player etc we build crazy character concepts at 20th level and run them against mixed pairs of high cr monsters just to sort of test out the mechanics of combat at that high a level. It was during one of these "experimental" sessions that this question arose. This player is very conscious of game play and balance. munchkins don't stay at our table, we either "retrain" them or bounce them.
I don't think so because... (PRD Divine Vessel- These modifiers replace the normal modifiers for increasing your size.)
But I have a player who insists they stack and Hero Lab does allow the stack. (I know that Hero Lab can not always be trusted, but that is another debate)
People seemed hung up on one point for some reason, hope this helps. Variation
a : the act or process of varying : the state or fact of being varied
Merriam-Webster It's not a new mechanic.
It is spin. We see it everyday on the news. However, I bet this organization has more tools for spin at their disposal than say Fox.
Kyle, get well. The community can cope. Especially given how awesome Combat Manager already is. Thanks again for all your work! I must admit with great quilt that I have not yet donated. But rest assured it is coming. My group as a whole will be donating soon. (as soon as we cash in the pile of change. we "donate" you a quarter every time a nat1 or nat20 is rolled at the table. The hoard grows!) If you will be at gencon2012 I will gladly buy you a cheese burger.
