I’m a thirtysomething dad and IT professional living in the Austin, TX area. I started gaming way back in the day, 1982, with the TSR space opera game Star Frontiers. Since then I've been an avid roleplayer. I went to 5 Gen Cons, was a regional Triad for the RPGA's Living Greyhawk campaign, helped start a gaming club (the FORGE) in Memphis, TN, et cetera.

I GM and play a variety of RPGs; currently Pathfinder is in heavy rotation as well as various non-D&D-based games.

comment Can detect magic detect psionic effects?
Also because some classes might have Psicraft as a class skill that don't have Spellcraft, and of course to take into account if you're not doing transparency as 7SD points out.

He didn't win it. He died, right? Isn't that what the Q says?

comment How to organize my 3.X collection based on WotC's internal numbering system?
They usually just block out a range - "300s will be for monster books" - and then do in order of publication. Not sure this is a useful sort order for a shelf - it's not "intended ordering" from Wizards per se, it's just a tracking number that was loosely grouped for convenience.

All the answers except "here's one or two specific albums" are on point for the revised question.

comment How do I select background music for my fantasy RPG campaign?
I think the problem is the answer seems a little spammy, talking a lot more about the mechanics of the service than about how to select music for your game per se. I vacillated between downvoting and upvoting myself (this answer is better than the single album answers, for sure...)

The question reduces to "How does that work with a spell-like ability?" Transparency means "the same" so yes. Spellcraft would let you ID a power as it was being used; Detect Magic would identify an active power's school (note those are two different things). If you use magic-psi transparency then psi is magic and all the same rules apply.

I agree and have edited the title of the Q to Ace's suggestion to make this less closeworthy. Consider editing the question itself along those lines too.

comment Bennies for Long Sessions?
Best answer. Bennies should flow mainly from play not just from the dole.
