Well heaven forbid that someone make a flippant comment on an online forum. :p

Magic... So does that mean BESM d20 will cover converting Attributes into Spells? See, I wouldn't mind converting the characters and Attributes from the Tenchi Muyo Tri Stat books into d20, and since BESM Magic is the equivalent of Jurai Power, then I need some guidelines for getting Jurai...

Slayers d20... Hmmm... This makes me even more interested in Slayers d20. Slayers was originally a manga that ran in the Japanese version of Dragon magazine. Slayers is also a highly successful Anime series. Although an official version was made for a system other than D&D (I forget what it...

Hmmmm... How compatible is Arsenal with other similar technologies presented in other d20 books? I'm specifically thinking about Mecha Crusade, the d20 Modern Polyhedron supplement. I don't have Str Wars, but how compatible is Arsenal with that?

Ah. Nevermind. My question is basically answered in the non-corrupted version of the review.

[EDIT: This is the last time I'm editing this review. The first time I wrote it, I was a little cranky and every time I edited it, I was up too late. Well I'm editing it one last time to get it right.] Ahhhh... d20 Modern. It's not often that a game of any kind exceeds my expectations after...

Less supernatural? Hmmmm... Well I knew I'd definitely have to make some adjustments. Maybe the Rebuking ability should be adjusted to any non-human creature that has a direct or indirect aleigance to evil. (by the way, when I say "any evil non-human" I mean Outsiders, Undead and probably...

I'm working on an advanced class for d20 modern that emulates the average (Protestant) "Preacher" type. I'm aiming for a class that can be taken by a Dedicated Hero ("seminary student") at 2nd level. At the moment, the class has borrowed most of the class features of the Bard, though Preachers...

Combining... I wouldn't be surprised if some effort to combine magic and psionics was being made in the d20 Modern book. For example, having a "magic missle" spell/power that has extra missiles for extra Mage levels OR extra psionic points put into it. I also suspect a condensation of the Craft...

Yeah, I told 'em... Heh, the reason Slayers is D&D-esque is because it started as a comic in the Japanese Dragon magazine, or so I've read. I sent WotC an email 2 years ago telling them they should have made a Slayers book. But I guess now I'll have to get G.O.O.'s version. I'm glad G.O.O. is...

There is indication in the Bible that while God hates all sin, some sins provoke him more than others. For example, child molesters make God a LOT more angry than those who have affairs with the neighbor's wife(the quote goes something like "If anyone causes one of these little ones to stumble...

God isn't "fun" Okay, it seems we have some differing opinions here. I am an Orthodox Presbyterian from New Jersey, so I'll give you my take on the subject: The trouble with a Christian mythos in D&D is that it's nearly impossible to correctly "simulate" God's presence exactly according to the...

It seems to me... It seems to me that the best use for this product would be for free magazines/articles supplements ("Jeb Sutherland's Guide To Dwarves", "Alex Finkelstein's Arcane Anarchy") and placeholder art as well as character sheets. That isn't a bad thing: that's more or less how...

The importance of Beans Ya know what? I think the Bean Counters are right. After all, the Elves can make all the Forgotten Rum they want, but they can't drink it. Their only source of food is Beans. See, the Bean counters are hired to count beans, and they also can only eat beans so people...

Wizards and Sorcerers. Where would fantasy gaming be without Wizards and Sorcerers? Tome & Blood is THE sourcebook for Wizards and Sorcerers in the current version of D&D. It is the official version, and also better than anything else I have read. Odds are, you've already read a review for...
