Cool! I'll ask my brother to plunder it. ;) Seems like my bank account is on the decrease ever since those D&D mini's were released... :D

My brother is travelling to Boston in a few weeks, and I'm going to present him with a shopping list the size of the Pacific. Does anyone know good RPG shops in (preferrably the center of) Boston where he can spend my money? :) Thanks!

I can't believe I forgot Hackmaster... :confused: :p Thanks!

Nice! Keep 'em coming. :) I added Ars Magica as well.

Hey guys, thanks for the great response. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I'm working on some sort of survey for a local RPG project, and one of the questions will be which RPG systems are played by the person taking the survey. I would like to present a list of the biggest/best known systems and then offer an "other" option. So, what are the most important systems...

Well, the Wisdom - Willpower thing is kind of getting really appealing to me. Being in tune with your surroundings sure helps. The thing about Charisma that always bugged me is that it makes sorcerers, well, charismatic. It's as if an introvert/ugly/whatever person could never use this type...

Nice suggestion, but I prefer limiting it to one ability.

Re: Hit Dice plus Magic Dice? That's an interesting look at things, but it doesn't quite work out for me. Resistance seems more related to Willpower, which would make Wisdom the relevant ability. In fact, this adds a third possibility to determine mana: CON - Life Force WIS - Willpower CHA...

Hmm, you definitely have a point about Constitution becoming too interesting for a player. I'm gonna sit on this issue a while longer. :D

Hi I'm thinking a bit about some sort of spell point (mana) system for casting spells, but I'm not sure what to base the number of spell points available to a character on. I think that when you use spell points, you're working with an innate form of magic (somewhat like the sorcerer's magic)...

Cool. I thought it would be something simple. Thanks for the quick clarification!

It sounds like Terror TRAX to me too, except that there's no book included with those CDs. Wasn't there 1 Ravenloft module with a CD too?

In the Monster Manual, there are 3 wolves: Winter Wolves, Worgs, and normal Wolves. For some reason, the damage of the Winter Wolf and the Worg seems to be too high: Wolf: Str 13 -> 1d6+1 Winter Wolf: Str 18 and Large Size -> 1d8+6 (shouldn't this be +5?) Worg: Str 17 -> 1d8+4 (shouldn't this...

Hey guys Thanks for all the inspiration. I'm a few steps closer to creating that "typical" gnomish name. Looks like something rather short, a bit funny, and perhaps a bit halfling-like should do the trick. "Dilby Firdrick" and "Svirri Harwomble" spring to mind now :D :) :)
