What value is there in Dungeon? All the DM's with a day job, raise your hands -- ah, I see you already did. Anyway, as one of the earlier, more vocal supporters of modern and off-genre D20, I applaud the Poly/Dungeon flip-flop. Our hobby was dying. If you didn't do the D&D dance, you were...

Just never had a proper system to post in before -- my orginal Story Hour was in my home-brew D20 system. Now that D20Modern's out, will probably finally post that crew. May use the Custom Hero classless system, I really love it. You can find it in the D20Modern forum. I think I stillhave...

Curse you! Although Furio speaks with precisely the same accent as Furio on The Sopranos, I too now have the Frink-voice in my head. I'll have to get it out by using it as a vilain voice in the next game.

I believe their Canadian adventures occur right after this little jaunt. Just stretching things out, as we haven't played in a while. Pulp Spycraft took over the one-off slot last time. As for the blackouts -- have you had the dreams about the bad clown yet? If not, then you're one of the...

The ONLY thing disappointing about this is that the three weeks I spent trying to accomplish this were utterly and totally wasted. This is a fantastic, FANTASTIC, piece of work. I'll be e-mailing you about doing the same with Spycraft characters, and some ideas for different "power suites."...

They dug the idea, seemed a cool way to jump a couple levels off-screen. Poor Jo, though. I almost feel bad about ... well, you'll see.

"Chapter 1: "Wherein our protagonists discover: sometimes, discretion is the only part of valor." Kirby let out a truly impressive string of Ubantu obscenities. Taggart would ordinarily have stopped to bathe in the linguistic glory of that profane construct, but they were both running for...

Gone Missing: PROLOGUE "One year later ..." Samuel shifted nervously in his chair. Hoffman Institute Field Agent Director Richardson was legendary for precision and crankiness. Not in that order. Richardson stared at him. "You're the best they can send for an assignment coordinator? Ahh...

PULP SPYCRAFT Warning: PG-13 subject matter An hour later, the mismatched spies stood in Kriegstein's office. "Miss Tesla, allow me." Kriegstein indicated the two men. "Captain Tom Houston is here courtesy of the United States Army, on a 'test run' of some of his new ... training and...

*filled with rage that he can't join the game, even as he plots his D20Modern conversion ...*

In honor of Wulf's coming move: *************************** A large flowchart with several hundred squares, each bearing a faction, family, or religion connected by multiple arrows, each arrow indicating a subtley different relationship, adorns a large wall. Two figures stand before it...

A large flowchart with several hundred squares, each bearing a faction, family, or religion connected by multiple arrows, each arrow indicating a subtley different relationship, adorns a large wall. Two figures stand before it. They've been there for seven hours while the tall one explains...

”Prologue: The Law of Unexpected Consequences.” Vesh, at the time of Anadale’s ascension, was a nascent republic. When a royal bloodline was reinstated with the obvious blessing of the Gods – I mean, look, Corean worked through a halfling, it was so important – the people saw the signs. They...

(DM’s Note: Just setting up the campaign/world model before we launch in. I think it’s an excellent example of how the Scarred Lands setting is defined enough to give you structure, but loose enough to customize considerably … The following essentially sums up the Angry Monkey Scarred Lands...

A war rages across the Blood Steppes. As battlefields run with gore, ancient ruins are uncovered in the wreckage. Supply stops become thriving towns – and perhaps more. Perhaps new kingdoms in the badlands. From chaos can come heroism … or opportunities … Distracted from family rivalries...

Great, I just spent three weeks breaking down a point system based off of M&M for D20Modern for my group, and NOW I find out the time was wasted? But waiting 'til April -- feh, I slog on in my Ancient Mariner way. I was playing D20Modern Dark*Matter before they even ANNOUNCED D20Modern, ya...

But then someone would ask "wouldn't it be better phrased 'taking 20 in the time it's required to take 10"? :) I'm thinking of adding a Concentration check -- trying to get the feel of Scotty in the Jeffries tube, eh?

TheSRD is the system of rules which is Open Game Content, and so can freely be used in other game systems as long as the copyright is acknowledged. Note I said "freely" -- essentially the entire game except for flavor text and settings can be had for literally nothing. Access to the SRD can be...

Interesting, you've brought up my one -- and only one -- problem with Spycraft: too many skills. What does bureacracy do that a diplomacy or bluff check can't? And surveillance -- covered by spot, listen, search, or Investigate, which is a lovely catch-all skill. I'd allow Decipher Script to...

Hoping to hijack the thread BACK to helping develop the gameworld by interjecting a mediatory note, I suggest reading Fouad Ajami's The Dream Palace of the Arabs, an excellent, scholarly, and heartfelt book about the positive forces of modernist pan-Arabism which were unfortunately hijacked by...
