kimkinnison Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 try the 4th ed and 5th ed versions of D&D. too hack and slash for my taste. transferred my group to Pathfinder RPG myself. you could also look up the old 3.5 ed rules, as these are in open game license format and could be downloaded for free, sans D&D specific creatures and art..... @miggyE: just checked the Pathfinder SRD and I now regret ignoring them for so long. Paizo's take on cantrips is just mindblowing! Thanks for the awesome tip, man I agree. So far, DnD next appears to be geared more for the old-timers who only have time to play a quick game of wholesale slaughter before getting back to their families. Their inclusion of backgrounds and themes seem to hint at future playtest iterations encouraging more roleplaying, however. BTW, where do you get your miniatures and dice? Quote Link to comment

cocoy0 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 @kimkinnison: That is the question. I also would like to know. Quote Link to comment

NG carries polyhedrals other than d20s, but they're magnetic metal and kind of expensive. As for the miniatures, I guess you can settle for the printed kind (unless your players are picky). Printed miniatures also allow for designing large encounters for a very low price Quote Link to comment

BTW, where do you get your miniatures and dice? sorry for the late reply. got my dice 5 years ago, as a gift from my Fiancee back then. she bought it from Neutral Grounds. as for miniatures, i got maybe four boxes of them, from a colleague whose father had thought having some miniatures carved into chess pieces. after copying the miniatures, he gave them to me. the miniatures are from the 3.5 D&D pa though...... BTW, try out some of the Companion booklets of Pathfinder, especially the Distant Worlds one, where you could play off into other places, not just the standard areas. also, Pathfinder/Paizo is making a MMPORG due for release soon. and there's a ala-D20 Modern in the works.....

Quite alright. Distant Worlds looks like a sword and planet version of Spelljammer. Galing! My group will definitely look into that once we're ready to move on to something with more crunch.

miggyE Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 more like their version of Edgar Rice Borrough's John Carter of Mars novels..... Quote Link to comment
kimkinnison Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 The second D&D Next playtest packet has been out for a week now. Another chance for us to influence the way dnd is played Quote Link to comment
miggyE Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 evening, people! how is everyone? how's this for a 4 person party in Pathfinder? the Outsidersan Aasimar Fighter2/Sorcerer5a Kitsune Rogue 6a a Suli Magus 5 (a human-jann descendant)and a Half-Orc Ranger 6. Quote Link to comment
kimkinnison Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 i'm not terribly familiar with pathfinder i'm afraid, but (coming from a D&D 3.5 perspective) you guys seem to lack healers? does the half-orc ranger tank well out in front? Quote Link to comment
miggyE Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 actually kim, in 3.5 rules, the Aasimar sorcerer with a celestial bloodline (you could also choose a destined, or arcane bloodlines for the Aasimar) releases a bolt of flame 3+ (bonus due to Cha)/day. this could either heal or harm (in the case of evil npcs). damage/healing comes to 4+ 1/2 lvl.

kimkinnison Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 pardon my ignorance, I've only pored over the core rules sounds like a well-rounded party then. Quote Link to comment
