For the first time in many years, I find myself without a regular Friday night roleplaying game to attend, and I'd really like to rectify that situation. I'm 33 years old, non smoker, don't drink, and I've been gaming since I was a wee tot. I enjoy a wide variety of systems, and am always up to...

There's a chart in the Calibre picks section of the gear tables that says how many options you'll get for trading a calibre pick for options. Definately nonintuitive, but not too rough once you work out the charts.

If you're willing to downplay the VR net and instead focus on the real world actions and exploits of your heroes, try Spycraft 2.0. The Gadget system explicitly says that if your Game Control (Gamemaster) sets the tech level to near future, you can use yourself as the housing for gadgets...

Wow... M&M is semi-crap, but the DC Universe version of D6 is good? I must be your Bizarro clone or something, because I feel that M&M is semi-good and am looking forward to the 2nd edition, while I feel that the WEG DC Universe game was a terrible game. The book was poorly edited, had bad art...

1. The players don't know there's a bleeding 18th level Lich in the castle. 2. Said Lich owns said castle. 3. Said lich is a wizard with a higher point buy than the PCs in question. 4. Unless the DM purposesly cripples the Lich, he'll be the one with the tactics and the terrain advantage.... and...

Alright, my suggestion is this. Take off the kid gloves. Rather than worrying about whether an 18th level Lich sans Magic Items is an appropriate challenge for your PCs, worry about what your hyper intelligent, thoroughly immoral, and fully equipped 18th Level Lich Wizard can do your PCs. Not...

Seems like you're having a /lot/ of trouble with balancing mechanics. You know, there are a lot of games on the market beyond D20, many of which are well suited for cinematic gaming with the limits off. Cinematic Unisystem (As seen in the Buffy, Angel, and Army of Darkness Roleplaying games)...

Too many variables really. Assuming the Lich has it's spells memorized, then it'll likely be able to escape at the very least. If the Lich has forewarning, the party will probably be in a /bad/ way. A lich w/o Magic items will definately be carrying some protective magic. Prep rounds will...

Change the focus of the game away from adventuring. 20th Level characters with the best gear you're going to hand out, who've killed armies and dragons can easily settle down and down what's really important. Build a better world. Or, at least, a world more in line with thier personal visions...

Ginger Snaps and Dog Soldiers. You shouldn't be disappointed.

I thought I was fairly clever in my sourcebook limitations. The Holy Word abuse is troubling though.

Can you actually make a broken Hulking Hurler with the above chargen guidelines.

I'm actually more envisioning a the Barbarian with a Stick method of deafness in this instance. Perhaps a Healing check, each attempt causing damage, but a successful DC 15 given the result you're looking for? Course, that's veering more into House Rules, so I apologize for going off topic.

Players won't know the details of the arena before they enter it. That said, the idea in my head is to allow some spell up time before they enter the arena. The actual arena will be a Pocket Dimension created via Genesis or Astral Seed, or possibly even a Magnificent Mansion. It'll curtail...

This weekend I'm going to be at MidSouthCon in Memphis Tennessee. I've signed up to run a level 13 D&D arena where the players are strongly encouraged to bring thier most minmaxed and obnoxiously munchkin characters to fight for the bragging rights of winning the arena. What I'd like is some...

William Marker - Marquis of the Forgotten William Marker - Marquis of the Forgotten Aspect 1 - 5MP Domain 3 - 5MP Realm 1 - 5 MP Spirit 3 - 6 MP Estate Willian is the Marquis of the Forgotten. His estate is defined as that which has fallen out of human memory. He can create the Forgotten by...

I think you folks are reading too much into what Pendragon's saying. EL, as I understand it, is a measure of how challenging an encounter should be. The Griffins never posed a credible threat, thus it could be argued that the party should receive less experience. Personally, I disagree. The...

I take it you'd like us to have belonged to one of those groups? I hadn't been thinking along those lines, but a link to the Cammora could be very entertaining.

Well, I'm likely going to be something like a: Aspect: 1 Domain: 3 Realm: 1 Spirit: 3 With a minor gift and some fitting restrictions. A bit of Aspect or Realm wouldn't hurt. I'd weight one or the other heavily. If you go Realm, maybe include enough points to harvest a few Miracle points to...

I'm running with the Duke of Forgetfulness. Do you want Character Creation in this thread with finished products in the Rogue's Gallery or all creation in the gallery?
