My goal is to make the spellcasting skills be about on par with mundane skills, and while I haven't really touched upon the spellcasting skill's limitations; there are limitations (and stopping time you'll have to admit is a bit too strong to be used at will). Though, what if this god of...

True, and as much as I'd rather not go back to a Spheres system, I think I see why the developers settled on the spheres system.

One thing I've been doing lately for my homebrew game with a D&D Legacy is in designing its magic system. I like where the magic system idea is right now, but I found myself hitting a wall all of a sudden; and I'm wondering how you would tackle this problem that I will explain to you below. (By...

You can be the first then!

It could be that Magic is a sentient thing, in that it wishes to associate themelves with creatures that aren't coming up with ways to master the universe on their own? Also creatures that lack technology as we know it, such as worms or fish, would they be the most magical, or does magic go...

Though what technology level can be achieved before magic disappears?

Ah ok, my bad then. Whats your current campaign about then?

I like this a lot. Is your game based on getting through the Dark Age? You playing out a campaign in this setting?

(This is long, but I've been working on it for a long time too) My game setting is best described as being high fantasy with planetary and stellar travel being a major thing as well. But the biggest thing that I want to convey is how small things become when at a great height, and as the...

So I've been getting a weird itch that needs to be scratched. See, I really enjoy seeing the kinds of places and worlds others have created; and I want to read what settings you came up with. This thread can be a "post and read", or even a "setting help", or whatever you think you need...

I'm not really looking for Cthulhu entities either, just beings from another planet, and how do I justify them being from that other planet, rather than on the same planet as the elves and orcs and humans?

The setting I have justifies space travel without immense technology. The aliens are also not inherently hostile.

While I'm getting good responses, I guess what I'm looking for is alien species at the same tech level as, say, the elves or the orcs on the fantasy world. How then can I make a space alien still seem "alien" in light of all the fantastic creatures on the fantasy world, rather than "Another...

How do I include space aliens in a fantasy world consisting of elves, dragons, orcs, krakens, subterranean horrors, and other fantastical creatures, while keeping the space aliens feeling "alien"?

So I'm about to start up a Star Wars game, and I want to start it off with style. I want to add more imagery of the game world to make it easier for people to see. So what a better place to start than with characters? If all goes well though, and my income keeps up, I might even go beyond...

Ah ok, I'll go post it there then, thanks!

I forgot if I made a thread about this here, but nonetheless, here we go. So I'm about to start up a Star Wars game, and I want to start it off with style. I want to add more imagery of the game world to make it easier for people to see. So what a better place to start than with characters? If...

So I've been reading through the Star Wars Saga Edition rulebooks, and I can't help but think that the game's rules are a bit more in favor on Ranged Combat more so than Melee Combat, which means that most any melee combatant will, at least at the first few levels, simply be Blaster Bait. Some...

You and me both.

I would personally classify questioning the GM's every move all the time as a form of the Backseat GM. There is nothing wrong with asking a few questions or needing clarification on a point or two, but when the questions turn into questions that pertain to things that go into GM territory...
