Check out the Pirate Isles book for Mongoose's Conan campaign. It's OGL/D20 material and it has lots of information about pirate culture, feats, mutiny checks, weather, navigation, etc. Although it's written for Conan it could easily be used in a D20 game. And Conan is a very low/no magic...

I have "Walter" and I agree that functionally it is a superb program. My problem is that I haven't been able to get it to generate a usefully formatted character sheet that I can print. I admit that I'm no expert at using this program so there may be a method that I don't know about. The...

I believe there is a thread discussing this on RPG.net.

This thread made me pull out my Alternity books again just for nostalgia's sake. I never really got a chance to play Alternity (at least not for more than a couple of one-shot game sessions) because I couldn't intererest anyone else in the system. I'm playing with a different group of people...

Up until my recent problems that was what I thought too. The only thing I am certain of is that the problem seems to be related to visiting the Mongoose forums before visiting EN World. If cookies aren't the culprit then I don't know how the order in which I visit the two sites could have any...

I'm the one who started this thread and I see that at least one other person has had the same problem, so let me summarize my most recent experience with this isssue. I have traced the origin of the problem for me to cookies. Specifically, cookies from other BB's. I visit three rpg forums...

How about the Eleven Kingdoms of Katherine Kurtz's Deryni novels?

I am mathematically challenged tonight it would appear. With 81 total points that puts Technik's array in the 86th percentile for the 4d6 method which is indeed a little high for standard D&D. And yes, Conan is a very low magic, high damage system so the ability scores tend to be higher to...

I don't think Technik's array is all that high powered. I've never played in a campaign where we used the PB described by others. If we did use a point-buy system it was just a maximum to the sum of the ability scores. In that case the point cap was usually about 75. This did allow for some...

Thanks for the advice. It seems to be working now, although I don't know what I did to fix it. I did several things at once so any of the following may be the solution: 1. toggle the "bold threads" option box on and off. 2. clear cookies 3. reset all fields in Options. 4. ask for help and...

As I stated in my original post, I have verified that the "Don't Show New Threads in Bold" box is not checked. The problem persists even after I upgraded Firefox to the latest version (1.03). This is really just a nuisance but I would like to fix it if possible.

I'm new to these forums so please bear with me if this topic is addressed elsewhere. When I first registered, all new forum topics were shown in bold font. That no longer occurs and I would very much like it to. Now all topics, regardless of when they were last replied to or posted, appear in...
