For a number of years the alternityrpg.net community have set a date to promote Alternity game play in various ways. What it's about Posted for the day

I'm jumping in on a recent trend - not that trend, the one before. edit: Updates below

Volume #1 of d∞ ("d-Infinity") is now available in PDF form at RPGNow.com and e23. d∞ is a new multi-platform gaming supplement that covers a wide variety of rules systems and includes content that can be universally applied to many different sorts of table-top, live-action, and role-playing...

I've posted a spell idea relevant to a couple of earlier posts: Flesh Shape

I've posted up an idea I had, stemming from various influences, such as Tékumel, David Weber's Oath of Swords, Hârn, Runequest, some recent reading about the Beghards and of course working on City Builder: Five Gods of Dissolution Clearly, it's some sort of a house rule, but it didn't really...

I've put up a few ideas, mostly from my posts earlier this year, to my website: 4th Edition ideas

If anyone had a link to my content, or for that matter if you had no inkling that it existed, it's moved to a new location: Uncle Jimbo's Get Mediaeval

Skirmisher Publishing LLC has just released Tests of Skill v.3.5, a thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded version of its innovative OGL adventure module and sourcebook ($12.99, SKP E 0907, 130 pages; authors Paul O. Knorr, Shane O’Connor, Michael J. Varhola, and the Skirmisher Game...

As mentioned in General Discussion, it would be good for Warlords to have some useful powers for ranged combat. Here's 10 levels of a new build to do this, so far just using class feature variations to existing powers: CAPTAIN OF ARCHERS You use your hard-earned knowledge of ground, weather and...

Forked from: Can the First Aid Skill "Use Second Wind" be used on unconscious characters? From 6th level onwards (when a wizard with 10 CON has 40 hit points), it's guaranteed to be worse than Second Wind. If a healing potion is the worst form of healing in the game and an absolute last...

I'm putting together a quick play by post game, intended as a curtain-raiser to the amazing stuff coming from Sinister Adventures later this year: Mission Arcturus The stellar research base at Arcturus marked the furthest reach of human exploration - until the vicious alien Promachids overran...

This is to announce that Skirmisher Publishing LLC has released Volume 1 of the 'City Builder' series of electronic sourcebooks for any fantasy roleplaying game, on communities of all kinds and the establishments within them, by Michael J. Varhola and Jim Clunie. Contents of this book include...

Skirmisher Publishing LLC announces the electronic (PDF) release of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Mars: Shadows of a Dying World, written by Jim Clunie and the Skirmisher Development Group. Drawn from the Mars series of Edgar Rice Burroughs, this is the red planet not as it exists, but as astronomers...

The subject has come up a couple of times recently of a cleric's code of conduct. That's the set of rules that a cleric must follow to keep his powers: It's certainly possible to run this by general agreement and DM fiat, but a bit of further guidance might be in order for some campaigns. The...

When I looked up the entomanthrope in relation to winter werewolves in Rules, the idea of shapechanging to vermin immediately suggested something else to me. This is derived from the entomanthrope template on Wizards of the Coast's site (not Open Game Content) and the giant leech from Tome of...

I've added a couple of paladin-like variants in a new section of my site: Paladin of Supreme Order: Mentioned a while ago in the context of Serenity Chaos Knight: An idea I posted a long time ago for the Dragon Lords of Melniboné game. It had some interesting implications when I started...

I don't work for WotC or anything, but are people aware of the Dark.Matter mailing list? http://oracle.wizards.com/archives/darkmatter-l.html It's still reasonably active. It just seems unfortunate that member numbers have continued a straight-line decline through the release of a new edition.

I note that RPGNow has an open call for staff reviewers to rate products and give comments. I presume these will go in the same place as the customer comments. Not to tell Mr. Mathe how to run his business, but is this really a good idea? I value the customer comments at RPGNow, however...

The question of clerics worshipping a force, rather than a deity, came up some time ago. I put something together but have just taken a while to read the OGL properly, since I've based it pretty closely on the Alignment section of the SRD. Divine Forces
