Spycraft > D20 Modern I think the Fluid Intiative and dropping the multiple attacks based on BAB for a set number of actions are two of the things that elevate Spycraft above D20 Modern and D&D. The VP/WP system IMO also allows for more realistic combat. At least in the games I've run my...

It's been mentioned, kinda Some of the people above have pointed out that the D20 system was at least one consistent ruleset that could be used to cover several genres, and introduce gamers to roleplaying. That is one of the greater strengths I see of at least 3.0 and 3.5, they were simpler...

1. 500 years or so in the future 2) not entirely sure but the serenity preview disk in the Battlestar Galactica Season1 set shows one solar system... and most references to earth are as "the earth that was"

I like the idea of offering flanking bonuses to aid another, it's far too weak as written. I've house ruled that if the aiding person rolls >10 they get +2 and +1 for every increment of 5 over that..

A lot of people are suggesting a class-less system, but I think I would rather keep the classes and drop the level systems and make it a more natural advancement based (skill buying like Decipher's LotR) with unique abilities still available to the diff classes.

With the new series having pulled me in hook line and sinker, I'm wonder if there was ever a Battlestar Galactica RPG. I've seen a mini game that seems to allow starship combat between a baseship and the Galactica, but that's the closest I've seen. Secondly, has anyone tried to make their own...

I would love to see this setting done, and how about Battlestar Galactica the original or the current series I wouldn't really care. I'm not sure I'd want to see them in a class based system though I'm thinking something with skill buys similar to the LotR.

looks like it

I'd suggest the MM, unless you get the SRD and run the creatures out of there. Just take your time, get to know your players' styles. Also, I think the #1 rule to DMing, expect them not to do what you want/expect, you're gonna be surprised on a regular basis, just try to keep the game moving...

It could be that in a lot of cases creatures with major weaknesses like that don't want weapons that can effect them like that around. They could be potential weapons for their enemy if they're disarmed or used against them.

That would explain why most adventuring parties carry ten foot poles. But I would have to agree with Evilhalfling that most of these ideas are less desirable than spellbooks in terms of capacity. Creative, but ultimately I don't think having different storage methods is worth a feat. Maybe...

Even if online reviews aren't useful in persuasion or giving an accurate take on the book, I think they offer quite a bit in the line of free publicity. I know there are books I wouldn't have heard of had I not seen them reviewed on ENWorld or even heard people talking about them.

It's pretty easy to shut off from the control panel. One of the patches just before the SP2 release put the firewall on, but you had to go to your internet connection and play with the settings to shut it off. Now there are a couple of managers in the control panel that help you adjust the...

I have to admit it was the policies like this and the large amount of flaming on WotC's boards that got me looking for other forums, where I eventually found out about ENWorld. Most discussions here seem to be more productive and interesting to me at least.

DMs may only account for 1/4 of the Market, but in my experience it's the DMs who buy 3/4 of the books. As a player I only buy one or two books that work for the classes I like to play the most, and several of my players only buy the PHB and maybe a splatbook for their favored class. As a DM...

I would have to agree that I think some classes are far better designed for 20 levels of play. I've always thought that with the special abilities that the barbarians and rogues get they were among the most powerful. I could see how the cleric could be thought over powering as well. I'm not...

Thanks for the responses, I really appreciate it, they've given me a lot of really good ideas to work with.

I've read claims in numerous threads that people have archer builds that can stand up to some of the better melee fighter builds. I am going to be making an archer for the next game I'm playing in and was just wondering how people do it. I'll be making a 6th level character and was wondering...

I am banning it for the most part, if the PC really wants to, they are going to need to get some rare and expensive components to do it. As for your question of how mean I am in combat, I'm definitely a player's DM. I think I've only killed one character in 3 years of playing, and fudged a few...

I have to agree that I think poison DC's as they are are too low. I was running City of the Spider Queen, and decided to add the following house rule to my campaigns: Poison DC's increase at the following rate(per character size) with each exposure : Large or bigger +1 Medium or Small +2...
