Diplomacy on the water sounded pretty interesting though. The cleric communes with the raging spirits and is granted safe passage. Forging a pass from a kingdom you've never heard of for ghostly guardians, yeah pulling it out of your butt makes it sound like you pulled it out of your butt. That sort...

a lot of people derive their roleplaying experience solely through what's written on their character sheet. Mechanics are very, very important to them as it is the only way to express role playing concepts. if it says 'Rogue', he is a sneaking wiener, even if mechanically he is a heavily armored lan...

Re: Monte Cook Back to Work
Unless you mean Super Street Fighter II Turbo - which isn't exactly a balanced game seeing as Capcom itself issued a rebalance for the damn thing. Here's the index for what and why the lead dev changed in each and every character in it. The guy's just part of Capcom America and he fiddled with the ...

So, how do you become a game designer anyways?
Everyone likes to homebrew ideas with varying degrees of proficiency, but what does it take to get your name stuck in a shiny hard cover book? How about for a big name like D&D or Shadowrun? Did these guys have previous relations with publishers, did they go for an interview, did they wind up pu...

Hand over 5e development to WotC's M:tG designers They already have a great understanding of what appeals to different kinds of players and release sets where most of the time everyone finds something to be satisfied about.

Do you think Monte Cook would have done a better job on Tomes than you did? Do you think Monte Cook has ideas that you would've never thought up of, or execute them better than you possibly can? I only found out about this board because you guys spent so much effort on trying to fix 3rd edition, so ...

saber carrying American gentleman sounds cool.Could even have some kind of tricked out hi-tech gun that resembles a civil war revolver, depending on how far that Aristocrat theme wants to go. Wuxia wandering around China to right social wrongs using mono-edged jian also sounds cool. You could tap in...

4e mechanics compared to 3e mechanics
Not discussing the classes that exist within the mechanics, only the bare mechanics themselves and their use. So with that in mind, how do they compare? I know there's a lot of disappointment directed at 4e and how they did D&D classes. But is the criticism how they went about it, or is it with ...
