I always thought the depiction of the drow in the Forgotten Realms was its most unique aspect. They are a very flavourable race, despite that they are by-and large evil. R.A Salvatore's books on the drow are spectacular. AD&D 2E Menzoberranzan remains one of my favorite D&D works. I don't see...

Is this a joke? How did they think a heavy metal track would inspire the RPG community? Who grew up loving games like Baldur's Gate, Final Fantasy and Elder Scrolls. Are they retarded? And what's with the acid trip through Icewind Dale? Looked like Drizzt was having a seizure. PASS

Were a small group of 4, looking for a PC to join our AD&D 2nd Edition campaigns. Let me know if interested. When. We try to play consistently every Saturday evening, with the odd Friday. Where. We game at the DM's home in Barrhaven, Ottawa, Canada. We have plenty of room and privacy...

I'm the same way, which is why I make my own in my campaigns. But its allot of work for some. My current DM, an old 2nd edition veteran asked for such a book. Thanks.

The same can be said about a character that puts all his points in Social abilities though. That character will effectively blow through just about any social encounter. Some players like to excel at a couple of things and be weak at others. I have two players like that, and they love to...

Call it "pipi Caca" or "dodo poo doo" mechanic. If the mechanic enhances the story-telling or roleplaying experience or the enjoy-ability of the game as whole. How can you even begin to call it a "bad mechanic" ? I think the problem is that some of us are categorizing "Doom" in this "Meta-Game"...

I think most you (even the ones defending 2d20's "Meta-Game" mechanics) are missing the point behind those mechanics. I think over the years, especially recently from D&D play-test surverys, is that Story-telling and Roleplaying are at heart of an RPG. Some aspects of the "Meta-Game" mechanics...

Thanks Skywalker. That's what I am trying to get across :)

I understand what you are saying, and I can't exactly say you are wrong. But I do think some of you are looking too much into discounting what I am saying and are getting off track of the original topic. 2d20 is a fine system and this is a quality product that Modiphius has delivered. Yes...

I also use / used d20 Conan and its my favorite adaptation of the d20 rules BECAUSE of the maneuvers, AP/Armor rules etc. It just makes combat more fun. "To the Hilt!" comes to mind. Momentum and Doom is yet an additional layer of tools added that helps create more vivid battles. I'm not saying...

I think you are missing the point. Doom is just a resource that the players can use when they need a bit of extra luck (think of action points or fate points). The GM can then use those spent resources in order to have "unfortunate" things affect the players. So players can have a little extra...

That would be Doom points and they help and encourage the DM to spice up combat. Something that is much needed in Sword and Sorcery. As does momentum, a mechanic that can be used to perform maneuvers and the like. Don't knock it till you try it. The meta gaming are in fact tools that help tell...

By Crom! Its about time! - Terrific RPG made by professionals and fans alike, but falls just shy of perfection due to its choice of system (5 star rating) Having been part of the Kickstarter, I've been reading, reviewing and play-testing this product for quite some time. I've also been waiting...

So then, they want to make sure people are using books and not pdfs in order to support hobby stores, which in turn ensure their products (Magic included) keeps selling?
