Would you be willing to ask your friend if he'd be willing to pass on the ruleset/setting? It sounds like the sort of game that's been floating around my head for a while.

He's a bit of a perfectionist and I think wants to commercially own something that turns out to be a real winner. But I'll see what he thinks.

[Sirus]

So how many folks lost character sheets when Mythweavers FUBAR'd?

I don't think he's got the rules to the place he wants them or really codified. But he's some of the campaign materials he said I could post.

That's really awesome! If he's ever looking for outside playtesting, I'd love to try it out!

That is neat. Seems like it could scale pretty well to a PbtA-style rulebook that only takes up a few pages. I'd be interested in seeing suggestions for coming up with oaths (collaboratively with the group?), since nothing you've said so far sounds like it wouldn't translate to a non-Arthurian/non-Soulsy setting.

I'm digging that Oath of Chivalry. Puts me in a Paladin style mood again. My second favourite class after Conjuration Wizards.

I'm Nenjin's friend.  You can AMA about the Grail Quest game -
but I won't reveal the full rules because they are in no shape to be picked apart.  Specifically I mean the character creation rules; I'm obsessed with game balance and this is the least balanced game I've ever designed... In fact I gave only passing and arbitrary thought to character balance. I threw it together in about 10 hours of solid work over the course of 20 days and largely in stream-of-consciousness fashion.

P.S. I'm a career lurker and do not understand the ways you surface-dwellers, so preemptive apologies for any inevitable forum faux pas.

Quick question - I'm sure it's an obvious answer, but I just want to check.

In 3.5, if you're using Metamagic (say to Empower something, thereby using up a spell slot 2 higher than the usual required one), can you substitute in an even higher slot than should be required? Like if I want to cast Empowered Magic Missile, but I'm out of level 3 slots, can I use a level 4 spell slot?

yeah, you can do that.

A spellcaster always has the option to fill a higher-level spell slot with a lower-level spell

Got a new player in the group, playing a Rogue/Cleric. The player he's replacing was booted after failing to come several weeks in a row, with poor excuses, if any. Most of it was him saying he can't join because he wanted to play a different game with a different group.

We're still trying to invade this keep, and still keep having near-death experiences. Ogre-Kin are tougher than actual Ogres, it seems. Though neither are as tough as the Hill Giants. They're also shit at names. One of the Leader's enforcers named himself the Slaughtering Slaughterer who Slaughters.

Just waves after waves of enemies.

[Aseaheru]

 Thats... Rather simplistic.

[Jimmy]

Sounds about right for Ogre-kin though. They rely on their brute strength to win battles, not smart tactics.

Now if it was Drow, you'd expect to have ambushes and poisonous weapons. If you were fighting Dwarves, you'd be up against impossibly well defended choke points. Against Elves, you'd have a torrent of arrows and spells pouring down on you during combat. So long as the DM is playing the race true to their nature, it's good.

[BlackFlyme]

Technically, it's supposed to be a standard dungeon-crawl were we go room to room and fight them that way, but they know we're here, and it doesn't make sense for them to sit and wait for us to come to them. Plus we have two heavily-armoured Paladins and two people with guns, so it's not like stealth is an option.

At least we don't have to fight the Orcs. We're still going to end the Orcs, since Sense Motive told us they're planning on killing us later so they can keep the fort for themselves. They set up camp in the fort's dried up moat, so we'll just blow the dam they set up next session. Hope we can still go back and loot their flooded camp; I really want that frying pan.

Lately I've just been thinking of new character builds. Some cool new stuff in Pathfinder's Psychic Anthology, including a heavily armoured Kineticist archetype, and two Spiritualist archetypes that I have my eye on.

One gets a ghost-weapon in place of their Phantom, which acts similar to a Magus Black-Blade, and the other trades out their Phantom for a ghostly Animal Companion. The Kineticist can only attack with their Kinetic Blast using Kinetic Blade and any Form Infusions that require it as a prerequisite, but gains a lot of goodies in return, including a short-ranged Pounce at level 13. My only complaint is that it's not full BAB, nor can you dual-wield blasts, but both of those would be ridiculously powerful.
