Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I missed you
Two nights of reading on and off and I'm almost done
Of course then I have phb2 to skim through, but looking at it it's mostly race and class and item descriptions and those are pretty quick reads
In the words of the ancients, one should make his decision within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break through to the other side
The two-headed gingerbread ogres!
The sentient sleigh pulled by eight tiny behir!
The frost archons that wear old silk hats, have corncob pipes and button noses, and will be resurrected to full hitpoints if touched by the tears of a child!
he uses a greatsword, has a lute, and knows a secret language of some sort
oh, Ipse, make sure you and Z pick backgrounds if they're in the PHB2- if not, we can add 'em in later
Also a big pile of 3.5 books including Races of the Dragon which I didn't even know I had, those are definitely coming with me to the dorm after winter break. Love me some kobolds.
Also, also, I wanna run a zombie game based on the Puppetland system that I am finding pretty rad. I'm just scared it will turn into something like Dead Man's Road and that is a tough act to follow.
It is taking forever because rules
You pick it up fastest while actually playing.
Just remember Standard/Move/Minor and everything else follows that pattern pretty naturally, especially if you don't mind asking the DM questions like "Hey can I push them back into that pit?" so the DM can say "Yeah, that's a Bull Rush attack, standard action, strength vs. fort. and they get a save to go prone instead of falling."
I've also had a great many game ideas while playing the most excellent mod for Civ IV: Fall from Heaven. Of course it would be more of a backdrop for the game playing in the middle of the war that played out between me and another Civ but what's fun is with using the sign posts in the game I would create my little region for the game save and save it every few turns just to see how the war progressed.
Now if I could get some damn players.
Oh and I'm new. Nice to meet you all. Been lurking here for a while.
You don't really need to READ the whole rules, you can pick them up as you play.
Just read about what actions you can take in combat and the different kinds of movement.
I own a cavern set they made I really want to get a few more but I go to the site and stare in wonder knowning that I will only use it to play 40k and another game in and nothing else
Do people really use it to play D&D? I know people used cardboard dungeons before but still
don't forget that a charge actions (where you move and do a basic attack) is a standard action, Ipse
you get three actions a round
standard
move
minor
you can downgrade a standard to a move or minor action
and/or turn a move action into a minor action
blast is a directional aoe from your character that goes out in a 45 degree angle
bursts are an aoe centered on your dude
feel totally free to drop questions in this thread
for a game that uses a lot of imagination isn't that a bit much?
a good combat scene is only enhanced when they can see exactly how the terrain works
especially for a grid-heavy system like 4e
I am (kind of) working at a place that does laser engraving
We can do 3d engraving into wood (and some stone)
Which means...
We can create our own fucking miniatures
They'd only be one or two sided (not true 3d figures), but still
Oh shit, a flat piece of stone, with 1" squares engraved into it
The most badass of battle grids
i usually just brought some extra paper and drew out what I thought the scene would look like I think using the miniatures takes a lot of the fun out of imagining the set (though it adds to the dms fun)
In the words of the ancients, one should make his decision within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break through to the other side
oh shit yes
just need to make a stand to put those fuckers on
we can get paint involved if we want
and TERRAIN
how much will this cost us?
Especially if what I want to do is a marketable idea
I'll see him tomorrow probably so I'll ask him about this

I played a Tiefling Bard her roommate a teifling rogue. We would get thrown out of towns and villages just for being Tieflings. We would get beaten up and our gear taken by some mob in the village.
We did get some towns and the people that lived there to treat us better after we help with a problem they had but that was rare.
hey wait no
stop hitting me
steam profile
Unless you're playing in a campaign world where the common people were royally fucked by teiflings in recent cultural memory (up to about 200-400 years), I don't see how that shit makes sense.
EDIT: Possibly superstition. but still, that's usually for "those guys we know nothing about and are not common at all"

Don't make a battle grid.
Make a set of tiles in commonly configurable combinations.
Alright, continuing to collect interest for my psychadelipunk game
It would be a mutants and masterminds game, although everyone would at least start out as normal humans, most likely the members of some sort of musical tour bus (musicians, roadies, drug dealers, agents, groupies, and so on). Probably like level 4 or 5 to begin with, but with a likely rapid level gain soon in. It's set in the groovy 60s, in an America much like ours was, with one crucial change: the development of lysergic acid diethylamide was changed to the development of a much different drug, one which allows some manifesting of magical powers.
Is anyone interested in this sort of thing?
