It’s been a while since I looked at WOIN, but the box set has piqued my interest again. When I first looked at it, I remember thinking that I’d love to play a Star Wars based game with the N.E.W. rules. But I also wanted to dial back the breadth of skills, and (sacrilege!) do away with the...

I don’t play much D&D. My tie to various editions is 100% based on what their licensing says I can use, should the creative bug hit me. So I own the 3.5 core rulebooks, own nothing from 4e (as much as I’d love to write something based on it), and came back for 5e (which I still thought had...

I'm rereading the Chronicles now. And I can see why 13-year-old me was totally into it. 47-year-old me, on the other hand, finds myself cringing at a lot of the prose. Despite this, it's doing a great job of whetting my appetite for SotDQ.

I'm weird in that I prefer not to pull the maps out of my books. Good thing I won't need to. Crusty Old School Gamer Collection to the rescue!!!!

Bridgton, Maine. Probably about 1985. I had a group of five or six friends who regularly played D&D, the Marvel Super Heroes (FASERIP) RPG, and the original TSR Indiana Jones (Diana Jones!) game. DM duties were frequently switched off between myself and our friend Jared (who owned, by far, the...

Thanks! The classes went through a couple of iterations, but I think I finally found a list that can reflect practically any Joe or Cobra character (usually with some multi-classing involved). EDIT: Ack... and looking back at my list, I forgot one that's ABSOLUTELY VITAL to GI Joe: the Vehicle...

At some point I'll put out an HTML version, but in the meantime, I appreciate the download on your part. ;) Honestly, I thought I was doing people a favor by putting it into the PDF format. Yeah, I was trying to find SOME sort of descriptor I could put out in front of the word 'Ninja' that...

Hmmm... not sure whether this belonged in the d20 Modern forum, or the House Rules forum, but I'm sure a nice moderator will come along and move me if I'm in the wrong place. I'm throwing together some rules for doing GI Joe with d20 Modern, and my first effort has been a new Ninja advanced...

Re: Dungeon ONLY! A little fiesty when the shoe's on the other foot, ay? I had to scroll through a page of "Ditch Poly" messages, before we got to my post. Quite frankly, I think people should stop bitching, cough up a few extra bucks, and deal with the fact that there not all gamers share the...

Is there something wrong with that, oh Arbiter of What Can and Cannot be Discussed? ;) As nifty as Spycraft is, some people just like to have "official" stats for characters, vehicles, places, and things. While I'm perfectly content to use Spycraft (and perhaps at some point, d20 Modern) for GI...

Pre-built adventures are for the unimaginative! More Poly, less Dungeon! :D Now that I've kicked off WWIII, is it safe to assume that Omega World gives us another preview of the d20 Modern rules? Is that Explorer class actually a Prestige/Advance Class that gets tacked onto a character after...

That's what the interview in this month's Computer Games magazine says... they're planning on doing a 70s game, and then a "modern day" game. Should be REAL interesting to see the characters we all know and love evolve. And as much as I DESPISE everything he's ever produced, it would amuse me...

Wild Speculation Alright... I'm here in the US with the rest of ya, and I've been RELIGIOUSLY avoiding posts from the Brits who have seen the rest of the third season episodes, but here's my wildly speculative guess at what happens with Talyn. If you don't want to even see my guess (which I...

Re: I can't believe I'm actually replying to an ad hom. Hoo-boy do I have the website for YOU... http://www.capalert.com ... and then just as quickly LOSES them for uncontrived reasons. Did you ever go to college? If so, did you live in a dorm? Hook-ups to the left, hook-ups to the right...

Ah. I did indeed misinterpret what you meant by "legal flogging". My bad. While I agree with you that McDonalds was liable for the temperature of their coffee, the payday she received for her own clumsiness and lack of common sense still makes my jaw drop. But to answer your question, if she...

Thus far, you are correct. Here's where you're so wrong, it's funny. The woman purchased her coffee at a drive-thru window. After driving off, she proceeded to put the cup of coffee BETWEEN HER LEGS. Now, whether your coffee is regular hot, or super-nova third-degree burn causing hot, it's...

For purposes of comparison, do you guys have a word count on your "Prisoners of Aphex" adventure? Regards, Corporate Dog
