I was thinking the same thing.

I haven't seen an issue. And after running Exalted, cinematic is a relative term.

I've run it at conventions and the only house rule I've had to use was that every 10 is two successes, not that weird "two tens are four successes" critical rule. Now to find a group to run it regularly for, sigh.

Everyone is using the search for exotic items as a way of manufacturing magic items. But I was looking at Player's Option: Spells and Magic (I have a huge A/D&D library), and it also talks about exotic processes. I know that Sauron made the One Ring in Mt. Doom, but locations are not what I'm...

Yeah, I heard the drive was murder for you.

I've been watching in anticipation for awhile. It looks like its doing about $1,000 a day or so, even though I think I've seen pledge retractions.

This is so much work to make it readable, especially the tables.

I've already backed it. I like how it combines class and subclass instead of the way it was done in Everyday Heroes (in fact it is very similar to how I did my home conversion of Modern d20). Though I have been comparing it to Wurm.

(somebody probably already said it, but): I think they should look into retooling this into a Firefly game if they can get that license.

Now, Greyhawk.

The top 0.1 percent of taxpayers pay 1.1 percent in payroll taxes, 4.6 percent in corporate taxes, 0.4 percent in estate taxes, and 0.2 percent in excise taxes, so the taxes not included in this analysis total 6.3 percent for them. --Forbes...

I jumped from 4th to 13th page on this discussion. But in 1st and 2nd AD&D I played in a 30+ level game that had started at 1st level, but I was a late comer. The DM made a lot of challenges that had to be thought and played through without fighting, because combat was so deadly that my...

And ability scores are either standard array 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 or 4d6 drop lowest. 4d6 drop lowest makes an average die roll of 12 and was used in 1st edition AD&D and was listed as METHOD I in the DMG. Moldvay Basic D&D allowed you to trade 2 points of Strength, Intelligence, or Wisdom...

0-level rules were first in Greyhawk Adventures and a separate one was in module N4-Treasure Hunt, though I could see doing N4 and then doing the Greyhawk rules afterwards. As for the ability scores, that is Method IX in Unearthed Arcana. With Comeliness you get 9,8,7,6,5,4,3 dice take the...

At low levels I've already done the math (since they are closest in power). A 2nd Edition 1st level fighter weapon specialist can mop the floor with a 1st level 5th Edition fighter (assuming maximum hit points for both and using their native math). And maintaining this nonsuperheroic attitude...
