Heck, I've adapted Jedi to advanced and prestige classes and just run d20 Future.

We usuall get betond mid-level play but that's because we start at mid-level.

Even beyond more mature topics, I expect my players to handle more complex and intricate plots, philosophical and moral dillemas that actually require thought, and to make more involved characters.

I like playing martial artists so I've made more than a few characters with Acrobatic and Skill Focus (Tumble). Extreme tumbling rocks my socks.

In my experience it never occurs to people to make big jumps (fighter to psion, wizard to monk) without in game explanation. Simple transitions, monk to fighter, don't usually require explanation beyond "I'm focusing more on martial ability than enlightenment due to all my recent combat...

That's right: it has been declared for no particular reason that if you own a tuxedo you should wear it to GenCon on Friday. Hope to see you all there in your black and white best!

I was initially taught by someone else but not very thoroughly. When, after the second session, he canceled the campaign I decided to run one of my own, borrowed the PHB, and taught myself how the game actually /works/. Still, I consider myself to have been taught by another, just as my first...

In most of my campaigns I actually make all non-human races subraces. The world has very specialized races and using subraces builds up this association. All elves are aquatic (though capable of breathing air as well), half-elves get some swim and sailing bonuses, halflings are desert...

I'd been d20 Modern primary for awhile, but I've been on a big Mage: The Ascension kick for the past year or so.

I've read everything but the spells.

As a player I wouldn't be against it, but I checked the box for I would be against it and I wouldn't want other players to do it because I frequently GM. If I give players 35 points to build with, it's because I'm tossing heavy challenges at them. If they get that many points they're expected...

What you did was completely within the rules. As Monte Cook frequently reminds people (and as is written in the DMG), rule zero is that the GM is always right PROVIDED what he does makes for a better game. And a better game is a game that's more fun. If you and your players are having more...

As far as I know, the last attempt was made at Origins 2k3. If anyone remembers anyone involved - a player, a GM, an organizer, absolutely ANYONE - please let me know.

I partly agree with Grump: Mongoose Publishing's Open Mass Combat System is my personal fave. It is quick and easy and, while abstract, perfect for my games which rarely delve into mass combat. When they do I want something that's simple and similar to the basic system but capable of handling...

In 2003 at Origins there was an attempt to set the world record for the longest role-playing game. Does anyone know any of the people responsible for organizing it, verifying the record, or acting in any other sort of official capacity? My college science fiction club is going to try breaking...
