So I've got a campaign where one of the characters severely distrusts magical items. The party level is 6+, and it seems difficult to figure out a way to compensate this character in non-magical treasure (as the challenge ratings of the encounters are getting up there).
What are some alternativ...
When I pick up a game system, I generally concede that the designers intent may vary from what I want, so I will have to take it with a grain of salt that some things work differently than I may like.
" I still suspect it will more closely resemble the mathematical-madness of Third Edition (or Pathfinder - which is basically the same game in my eyes)" Yes it is the same more or less...that's the point
I'll be presenting community with the final design of rpg.se very soon. Meanwhile, I need some ideas for the error, captcha and 404 page images.
For the captcha image, I normally use a non-human figure and keep it light hearted. For the this site's catpcha image, I'm thinking about using a grou...
@BrianBallsunStanton got your email. thanks! also feel free to email me other artists you'd recommend. I think down the road we may need more art work for RPG.se promotional materials
I have a half-ogre character at my local larp group, and one of the roleplay-enforced restrictions for half-ogres is that they have low intelligence. I often find myself biting my tongue not to say 'smart' witty things, or reason with other to work out plot. Most of the time I just come across as...
@Pureferret is there are specific LARP system you guys use? Could you tag your questions with it? I've noticed some of the questions come at it from a variety of system perspectives...(might have to hit meta to determine if this is necessary)

@GraceNote ooh :). I have the AR comic book from free comic book day last year..need to actually read that...speaking of which...I need to make time to re-read 8-bit
I've been seeing a lot of variety in the answer to my questions about LARP, some mentioning NERO and Amtgard. Others saying things about Light-touch and lightest touch. Some conflicted ideas about contact (I'm sure NERO was described as both contact and non-contact).
What are the different style...
I am in the process of planning a CoC game (or Trail of... I've not picked up a copy but it looks interesting) set a long time after the events of the Whisperer in the Darkness. To do so, I wanted to set the game in the 60s, but I'm not sure how the game will run with cars, social movement, wides...
Any notebook aficionados in the audience? I'm looking to trade my big spiral bound school notebook up to something a little bit better, but I'm having trouble finding just the thing.
It's a paper pad with detachable sheets that's gridded. Not sketchbook quality paper, but able to withstand a lot and worked great for some runework I was doing a couple months ago.
I... may have nabbed it from my previous employment, but in my defense, half of it was already consumed by my work at the time anyway.
At sessions I usually just have a couple sheets of paper, which is probably sub-optimal, heh. Combat tracking stuff, though, I always create special papers for those.
Although coming up with the initiative deck idea really saved a whole lot of paper management for initiative checks.
@AceCalhoon There's always fudging it. Figuring exact numbers was always funky anyway - I like the freedom, plus it opened up an amusing avenue for my next meet.
@AceCalhoon I'm not a fan of spiral much, either, though one of my best pads is a spiral.
Now I want to play A Hundred Blank White Cards again....
The game where you have 100 blank notecards and pens. Make up the game cards as you go. Standard Flux rule to begin. Draw one, play one. On completion, discard half the deck, put in 50 blanks, repeat.
We went as far as to use most of Fluxx's base rules 'Keepers' stay in front of you, 'goals' are win condition cards that stay in play. 'Actions' resolve then go to a discard.
At Magfest I got to observe a wonderful card game called "We didn't playtest this game."
I am corrected, 'We didn't playtest this at all'
and the expansion 'we didn't playtest this either'
