    Whither HARP?

    If Rasyr is around, he'll tell you anything you want to know. I've never actually *played* HARP, but from reading the books I own, I'd love to do so. The folks from ICE are super cool, and it seems like it'd have a nice flow. I like that it's not *quite* as crunchy as RM, but still allows for a...

    Just posting to make you all jealous, I HAVE THEM

    Haha, yeah, I know Buy.com's stock management is always a little flaky, but I've never seen a preorder item go that that state before, so I'm going to have a little faith for a day or two. :cool: edit: whaddaya know, order is now 'in shipping process' so I suppose I really am going to get them.

    Just posting to make you all jealous, I HAVE THEM

    The order I just made now says 'sent to warehouse.' I can only assume that means they'll be shipping my books today or tomorrow. I certainly wouldn't count on Buy continuing to ship orders though.

    Just posting to make you all jealous, I HAVE THEM

    I just went ahead and added an order from Buy. If it shows up within a week, then I'll cancel my Amazon order. If not, I cancel the Buy order. I figure no harm done either way.

    Need advice on alignment Issues with cleric character

    Typically, I allow my players to summon within one alignment step. I also entertain them coming up with 'personalized' summons for creatures that aren't in the list that are comparable to the ones there.

    Special Edition Player's Handbook - Got it?

    Hell, I read it was basically the innards of the 3.5 PHB stuck in a fancy cover.

    Why aren't Star Wars and Star Trek dominating the RPG market?

    I'd also add that there is an EXCELLENT Trek conversion for HERO System, with info for TNG, TOS, and FASA's Trek Universe. It's available here.

    Ohio Game Day IV: Planning Thread

    Has anyone considered trying to get several rooms at the Convention Center here in Columbus? I have no idea how much it would cost though, I tried looking on the website but didn't notice anything spelled out.

    The Origins thread

    I believe either Jagun Fighters battle game or Knights of the Zodiac CCG. I won't know for sure till I show up tomorrow. I had to take the cheapskate route this year since I lost my job recently and can't afford to pay reg fees if I want to buy any goodies. :lol:

    The Origins thread

    I'll be the really sunburned guy demoing in Bandai's booth on Thursday and possibly Friday. Stop by, say hi and play a game.

    Point Buy

    I use 32 for FR, and 28 for most other settings I've used. I generally don't like 25 point buy since it makes Paladins and Monks more difficult to make, but in some settings it's perfectly fine. I prefer 28 since it still forces players to make decisions and they charcters are still 'special'...

    Where do good dragons get the treasure they hoard?

    Is it cheating to start a PC above 1st level?

    I tend to start my players at 2nd level, if only to increase their survivability ever so slightly. New players/characters can come into the game 3 levels lower than the average PC level of the party, but no lower than 2. I've been using the UA exp. rules, and we've been very pleased with them...

    Has anyone ever tried to 'save' you from D&D?

    edit: That was because of the EC books like Tales From the Crypt. Those things are awesome, and I highly recommend them. This was also the origin of the Comics Code. Voted for religious reasons. My cousin got me into playing when I wa 7 in 1985, and since he was a fine upstanding kid (with...

    D&D with no Healing Magic! Would it work?

    The mortality rate could be high if your players are foolish. If they play intelligently using guerilla tactics where necessary rather than charging headlong into battle their survival rate increases dramatically. The gist of the setting is: Evil deity (BBG) is cast down to the Prime by other...

    I think you're looking for Midnight sir.

    Choice feats for bards

    I quite like it. Increasing the saves on the music abilities is quite helpful sometimes. SF:Enchantment and Lingering Song are great choices as well.

    Hackmaster. Please explain.

    A little bit of both (fixed up) to be honest. To me, it feels like a revised 1e that uses a point build for skills/feats (by a different name) and whatever else. The skill system is great, as it actually works compared to 2e's NWPs. I love the books to death, even if I rarely get to play it...
