Q: DM resources for stock images

MaxMackieWhen I create a campaign, I generally create a whole new world. The problem with this is that even though I have a plethora of amazing ideas, I just can't handle all the drawing and visuals that I like to show my players while they play. I usually just use Google to search for some images of mon...

Q: Where do I get the archive of the Sons of Kryos podcast episodes?

PiHalbeSo, I've heard a lot of English RPG podcasts and it turns out, that a lot of them constantly talk about the Sons of Kryos show. I thought this might be a good inspiration and went out to get hold of their episodes. Turns out, their site at http://www.sonsofkryos.com/ is down. They have a LJ site...

Q: How to play a Templar Knights

SardathrionI am looking to create a character that is a member of a monastic order of Templar Knights. The game setting is a historical one set around the 1200s. Thus, I am looking at source material for "Paladin", "Templar", or/and "Warrior Monk". More than a historical account (although I am happy to...

Q: Rogue Trader: Are new characters considered "trained" in starting skills?

basilard99When I made a character for Dark Heresy (many moons ago) I believe that the starting skills listed with the career path were all considered 'trained'. This idea was reinforced by the fact that they weren't listed in the Rank 1 advances. So, when I started making my new character for Rogue Trader...

man DC tables for 4e have changed dramatically...
a DC 20 check from the DMG (easy L8 skill check) is now a DC 12 (doable without rolling if trained and a primary skill)...

4E made lots of changes all over. I consider it a different game.

@MadMAxJr I entered the game after essentials was published so I don't know what it looked like befor that. what I do know though is that DC tables have changed...a lot :)...and some monsters have changed fairly dramatically too...
Essentials is roughly 4.5, though Everything from 4E is compatible.
@MadMAxJr yeah, we played the essentials adventures that were out with mostly old 4e character (though we did have a mage). We haven't intro'd any other essentials character yet, that may happen this weekend..not sure
I'm only familiar with the Slayer, which is a really smashy fighter.

@waxeagle Nope. That low number worries me though
I've run a number of dragon and... the early adventures are VERY hit and miss.
@waxeagle Yeah. They calicbrated skills to a fairly useful metric.
@MadMAxJr 4e... essentials, you mean?
@MadMAxJr That's actually a bad comparison. With 4e, the errata acts as point releases
patches, rather than a rewrite.

@BrianBallsunStanton yeah, im doing my best to translate...
@BrianBallsunStanton ancient mission means ancient DCs...so I'm adjusting them down
@BrianBallsunStanton I've got the 2 DC tables side by side, just going through the whole adventure writing in the new DCs...
and don't bother to "adjust"
ooof
good... luck
23:13
@BrianBallsunStanton its not too bad, I have to read the adventure anyways, and I'm putting all of the encounters into Incombat so its not really an issue...
@BrianBallsunStanton anyways, tonight is devoted to map selection and construction...joys of being a first time DM...
