another test blar.

Hey all, I just finished The Mallorean series by David Eddings (for the umpteenth time ;)) and it struck me how similiar D&D3E combat and David Eddings' combat discriptions are. And of course, that led me to thinking about how you could use his setting as a great campaign. The only things...

Taking it Personal? Remember the run-in Hickman and Monte had in the letters section of dragon a year or-so ago? Hickman had written an article that basically told players to do whatever it took to entertain themselves and Monte had replied, saying that Hickman's ideas would push a group over...

I really do have a lot of respect for Kenzer and HM, I just don't think I'd enjoy playing it. After writing this review, I went to my local gaming store and paged through some of the other HM stuff. I'm very impressed with the quality and the obvious love that the designers have for the game...

apologies to the Moderators. I realize now that this is posted in the D&D/D20 forum... probably not the best place (though I do mention 3e!). Please move it to the most appropriate forum. thanks! -LL

Kenzer sent me the Hacklopedia III for review about 3 weeks ago. I've read it off an on for those three weeks and once all the way through cover-to-cover. Initial Impressions: The book itself is a nice soft-cover, and seemingly durable. The binding is holding up perfectly, with only a very...

Guess they don't need Mac Beta testers :(

SOYCRAFT IS MADE OF PEOPLE! sorry, couldnt resist.

Its properly creepy... and borders on disgusting (which is good in CoC!). But... its missing something, I think. Personally, I wouldn't have them directed by Nylacartholop (or whatever ;)), since they seem to be a bit too small-time for such a big hitter in the Mythos. I personally would...

I cry everytime I come to this forum and see that it isn't updated. boo hoo :(

VERY Cool, VERY creepy. It was like watching a nightmare unfold from someone's sick mind (that's a compliment, of course ;)). I WANT MORE! :)

hi everyone, Thanks for your suggestions. I'll have to take a look at spycraft, I've read the reviews and it sounds like an amazing game. I think my player isn't objecting to the horror genre, in fact I think it might appeal to her more than D&D Hack-n-slash (which is what the other players...

I've been talking to one of my players about CoC and she's not that excited. I know that she'd like the setting, she just doesn't want to lose so many characters. She doesn't like the way the characters are made. She especially doesn't like the massive damage save vs. death. I've been...

I like Iconics. I sorta wish they were used more to explain rules and stuff- especially in other situations than combat (though combat is the most important use for them, imo). Especially if you're going to be making a new setting. Iconics can really be used to introduce your readers/players...

Hi, i'm looking for some online maps for cities in the US (I'm hoping for Boston, actually, but will take anything). Does anyone know where I can find any? BTW- being laid off means I need free maps ;) Thanks in advance!

Would the inclusion of prestige classes ruin the "everyman" feel of the PC's? Are any of you considering using prestige classes? i'm a little torn. I've been wondering how to make an assassin (for a modern-era campaign): whether I should use normal characteristics or make a low-powered...

CoC is more skills-based than feat-based (like D&D). Different focus for a different type of game.

Have you decided what you're going to change/add to the game? I'm going to: 1. make armor absorb damage rather than make you harder to hit (thinking that criticals can degrade armor, but I don't know if I want to get into it that far) 2. Give Defense bonuses (page 15, Variant) to AC. 3...

How could you be your own mount?

There was only goingt o be two books in the series: the rules (already out), and a campaign book. nothing more :( They might just be clearing space for the next (and last) book.
