Make it a flip book with two front covers and bound upside down from each other, like an old Ace Double paperback.

Clearly everyone falls prone face up or their neck twisted so that they can still see everything, otherwise prone would impose some sort of penalties on perception, which it does not.

Note also that the Unconscious Condition says that you are unaware of your surroundings but it does NOT say that you have the Blinded condition, so maybe everyone in 5.24 passes out, and falls asleep, with their eyes open but with their brains incapable of processing what their eyes still see...

I believe that the rules on Medusa's permit you to avert your eyes, but is there anything on the rules that even allows characters to close their eyes or that say that closing your eyes is sufficient to Blind you? If so than anyone who has you mind controlled could just make you close your eyes...

Whenever the net present hedonic value of the item exceeds the net present hedonic value of not spending the money, or or of spending it on something else, of course.

Session Zero, then fight vermin.

If one potion is permanent than every other potion they ever drink will have to be checked on the mixing table, since they will still be affected by the permanent one. Therefore they will have a 35% chance of a problem every time from now on. This may help balance this.

So the thing is that books are printed on paper (mostly Canadian paper in the USA), and even if books are exempt the paper is not, so the books will go up some anyway.

Cantrips are already limited by how long you can talk and wiggle your arms before you get tired, as most of them have verbal and somatic components. I would be skeptical of anyone who thought that they could use them for more than 1,000 rounds in a row, or more than 4,000 rounds per day without...

Sometimes people change their minds as they get older. This is normal and good and, in this case, good for role-players.

125 points + 20-30 in complications. So far I have a Native American scout/bounty hunter (our Doctor in Traveller), a black female Medical Doctor (I checked and there was at least one in America by then) (our Astrogator in Traveller), a gunsmith/businessman (our Planetologist in Traveller), and...

It depends on what I am trying to do in that game. When I run beginner games at the store I restrict players to non-evil Forgotten Realms content & characters, because that is where we are, and what is best for the other beginners. In my upcoming Greyhawk home game I will be restricting players...

It's not Weird West that is underrepresented, it is non-weird West that is underrepresented. Boot Hill is the classic but it is very combat centered, even more than D&D. Most other "westerns" add weird stuff, horror, alt-history, etc. There are a number of generic or multi-setting games that can...

How about +1 Caster Level or +1 Save DC or +1 to Hit, just as if you had spent the time building a +1 Implement instead of making up a spell?

Without Muscular Neutrality you could get Krynn before the Cataclysm. With Divination spells and cross planetary gates powerful people on Greyhawk might well know about what happened to Krynn. This might cause them to conclude that they have to stop good from getting all powerful, so that...
