Here's one of my favourite resources: http://www.comebackalive.com/df/index.htm The guy who wrote the book (the site is a free copy of the book) is some hard core survivalist journalist adventurer. Full of really down and dirty info on how to not get killed in many interesting locales.

If you have the patience to try and find them, you may want to look for FAQ/Walkthroughs for the following older PC games: - Dark Heart of Uukrul - Ultima Underworld: The Stygian Abyss - Ultima Underworld 2: Labyrinth of Worlds They are dungeon crawls but are full of things to keep the player...

I figure it's probably a bit too well known for this list, but how about converting Half-Life to d20 Modern? It seems like an almost perfect fit, imho. Start everyone off at 4th level. Put them in a location that isn't the base from Half Life, so it doesn't overlap the game, except in general...

Oh man... I actually got a kick out of that. If anything, Elijah Wood should be way more pissed off than the legion of DnD geeks. He's quoted s saying "Let's loot the bitch. Can I slit her throat?" Uh... homeland (in)Security and all that stuff going on down there... not to mention it sounds...

KDLadage - that's exactly the type of thing that popped into my head as I read this thread. Fantastic idea. I'd up the page count of the introductory module to 32 pages and use the extra space to extensively illustrate how the situations and the rules mesh together. Also: Examples, examples...

Hong nice set of Cha based feats. Quick suggestion: Fortune’s Favour - make it so that they can keep the best of the two rolls. I mean, it's only a single roll, once per day. Whatever whatever... those feats are probably going into my game. As for those who are having trouble dealing with...

Chronicles of Narnia was first for me. In fact, my favourite bedtime story back when I was still in diapers was an excerpt from the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. But to be honest, I wasn't particularly taken with "fantasy" back then... when I was in kindergarten I read anything I could that...

I'm looking for a bit of constructive feedback for some house rules that I'm working on. I've been really stoked about d20M since it came out, but I have yet to play it (moved into a new house recently; kinda disruptive and disorganized). However, in the meantime, I've been trying to figure...

I'm a lurker on the new boards, but I've been a participant in the enworld community almost since it was formed. (The black and red logo, rumor mongering days)

If all they do is reformat the pages and update the look to get in line with their newer, far superior looking, products, then I'll be buying it. The errata and new content is just a bonus for me. :) As an aside, I do have a comments to make: RP gamers have to be some of the cheapest...

I just want to address this tiny bit of of your post (which, overall was quite insightful). Warhammer is/was Games Workshop's creation. Not Hogshead's. They just bought the rights to keep the game on life support. It may be a good, solid game (which it is, even if it's old school as all get...

iirc, around the time they released Nobilis, some of the hogshead folks got pretty hot under the collar on RPG.net regarding negative comments about Nobilis. They pretty much lost my respect right there and then. Bunch of pretentious "RPGs as 'art'" asshats. I only wish that you could buy...

1. d20 Modern. 2. d20 Star Wars Revised. that is all

If you really like Gundam, check out Jovian Chronicles from Dream Pod 9. Sexiest looking mecha game ever made. Even better than their other, more famous game, Heavy Gear. It's also a great hard sci-fi game if you remove the mecha. Great setting. Great production values. Amazing manga/anime...

Man.. there are so many ways to adjust the leathality of d20 Modern. And they all work, depending on what tone you want to set. Here's what I'm planning. MD Threshold = 10 + Con Bonus + Misc Bonuses (feats, etc...) It's a small thing, but I want my games a bit more lethal. Want to make the...

Use FengShui. They're both cinematically over-the-top games and Exalted inherits and refines much of what FengShui innovated. If you think d20 is the way to go, I would suggest checking out the Mutants and Masterminds flavour, or possibly Silver Age Sentinels d20. Exalted has much more to do...

I'll second that. This adventure is the best intro to 3e that I know of. And it's free. Click Here to download. Oh yeah... and from Necromancer Games (my favourite 3rd party publisher) check out The Wizard's Amulet (also FREE!)

I gave up on Dragon three issues after the release of 3e. The core game has enough crunch for me and my group. However, I buy Dungeon like it's going out of style. Heck, it's worth it just for the Polyhedron mini-games, imho. I also get a lot of adventure ideas from the adventures, even if I...

A second Cleric. No contest. If the first cleric is a tank, make this one a healer, or vice versa. Clerics are THE most versatile class in the game and this versatility shines through when they're freed from hitting things over the head with their trusty mace, and healing the wounded.

From d20 based games, I love the Massive Damage rules presented in d20 Modern (and derived from d20 CoC). And they're immediately portable to D3D if I want to use them. Is WP/VP superior? I don't really know anymore, Massive Damage Fort saves add some really neat tension to the game. Siz of...
