    3.5 Monster Manual Issues

    So I've been flipping through my new 3.5 ed books, looking for relevant changes to one of my characters, who happened to be a lycanthrope. 1. I like the fact that afflicted lycanthropes now have a ECL modifier. So now we know what happens when your PC gets bitten and fails that saving throw...

    Midnight Binding Issues

    Hey, all! I've been thinking about picking up Midnight and using it for an upcoming campaign, but a friend advised me that his copy is falling apart after only light reading. Anyone else had similar problems? Or is this just a fluke?

    EN Worlders in Chicago, Sunday Night Recap

    Well, this evening, I got to meet Hal Greenberg and Mark Clover for the first time. We got together at one of Mark's haunts, Sedgwick's, for a few drinks and some dinner, and I had a really great time. Mark and Hal - you guys rock. Sedgwick';s was awesome, and you were the best. You know - we...

    Origin Awards

    Being a collector of RPG's, I like to keep up with the publishers' goings on, and I spotted this article on the Sanguine Productions website. For those who aren't familiar with Sanguine, they publish Ironclaw and Jadeclaw (furry-type fantasy RPG's) with their own system...

    Mutants & Masterminds Quirks

    So I've been flipping through my copy of M&M. While I think that it's by far the best implementation of the d20 system to date and a really good game, it's got two quirks that sort of irk me. I was wondering if anyone out there had a solution. 1. The Protection power is kind of overpowering. If...

    Mutants and Masterminds! (Quickie Review)

    Well, I picked up my copy of Mutants & Masterminds (Green Ronin) today and I'm pleased to announce that it's lived up to most all my expectations. It's a full-color, 192-page hardcover. It's kinda pricey at $32.95, but it's a solid book with the same feel as Freeport: City of Adventure (my copy...

    Miniature for a kid character

    Hey, all... One of the characters in a game I'm involved in is a young boy. The group is real big on using miniatures in the game, so I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a miniature for a kid. Thanks! Syn

    Monks with the Rake ability.

    In a current game, I'm playing a weretiger monk. The weretiger's hybrid form has the Rake ability - if he hits with his two claw attacks, he can rake with his feet. My question is, since the Monk's unarmed fighting ability describes blows with all parts of the body, can I use the Rake ability...

    Farscape d20

    Hey guys, A buddy of mine just picked up the Farscape d20 book. It's very shiny and has a lot of cool things in it. But I noticed something about the book that I found a little unusual. 1. The book uses AEG's Spycraft d20 mechanics (full and half actions, a variation on wound and vitality...

    A Question About Freelance Editors

    I'm hoping I can get some publishers and some editors to field this one. What is the demand like for an editor's services in the d20 market? Are there any publishers out there who contract out their line editing and rules editing to freelancers? Editors - what's your take on this? Is there...

    Kalamar Players' Guide

    I grabbed a copy of the Kalamar Players' Guide recently, and while it was definitely worth my money, there are some things about it that I don't understand. 1. Why, if the book refers to them in a number of places, does it completely leave the Monk out of the description of the classes? 2...

    Leadership and Animal Companions

    Here's my question. Can a druid combine the Awaken spell and the Leadership feat to theoretically break the hit die cap on animal companions by making one of them intelligent and taking it as a cohort? Example: an 8th level druid has a 6 HD dire wolf as an animal companion. Upon reaching 9th...

    [Spelljammer] New Dungeon?

    Well, I took a look at the latest copy of Dungeon/Polyhedron magazine, and maybe I just skimmed over it, but I didn't see the promised Spelljammer article there at all. What's up?
