Well, it is in everyone's best interest to keep official rulings and message board postings (not matter who posts them) separate. That said, I am glad Owen weighed in on that, and I'm taking what he said as gospel anyway-- though I think we all have been running it that way all along, just like...

Yeah, but I feel like clarity is a responsibility of any game writer, and that the lack of clarity in Changeling became a major flaw in the game. D&D, I think, comes off as so modular every thing is more take it or leave it. Changeling's writing always seems like it is trying to help you "get"...

That book was a lot of things, but fantasy wasn't one of them. A dark and rather bleak view of the horrors of feudal Europe, like a more historical Warhammer without the dwarves with orange mohawks. As a guy who loved the dwarves with orange mohawks, I can tell you V:tDA was even meaner than...

Yeah, I think I came to the same conclusions. And that's why it was a mess: we came to conclusions, but they were our best guesses. We had to sort it all out ourselves, rather than devoting that creative time and energy to running the game and exploring the setting. This is why I am in favor...

I tackled the alignment system in some detail with this product: FANTASY FOLIO: Allegiances Short answer, I think alignment is a useful abstraction, but requires a more open, meaningful system. The entirely new system presented in the product I wrote was designed to mesh seamlessly with any...

This actually makes me happy, because there were a lot of things I liked in the old changeling, but overall it was confusing. Seemings really were a big part of that. Was your fae self something you turned into, or were you that all the time and the human appearance was an illusion? Were...

And a link: http://www.dragonlance-movie.com/ Concept art and news and stuff. I haven't been pumped over an animated movie in ten years, but I have to admit-- as an old-school fan-- this is something I plan to watch the day it comes out.

Glad I was finally able to contribute something helpful, as so far I've most just kind of lurked on this thread, while watching it carefully, because I am such a fan of the idea of Microlite 20. I've been trying to think of a simplified version of Sanity rules for a Microlite 20 CoC, so far all...

That's why I'm saying, everyone with an attack bonus of +6 or higher could have Cleave and everyone with +11 or higher could have Great Cleave. Instead of tracking separate bonuses and what not. You don't need to call Cleave or Great Cleave or add feats to the game, just use the mechanic.

Yes, of course. But I believe he was wondering if he could just use DG d20 with Modern and not have the CoCD20 book, so my conversion ideas were for help with that.

I played the heck out of the first World of Darkness (WoD 1.0, they call it). Did all the big epic adventure series: the Giovanni Chronicles, the Transylvania Chronicles, the Samuel Haight metaplot, Chicago/Under a Blood Red Moon, all that stuff. And played all 6 games (including Hunter). Wraith...

You know, you could do what one of the video games did for monks (NWN? I don't recall) and just give everyone who would normally get multiple attacks the equivalent of Cleave or Great Cleave. No need to track what different attack bonuses are, as long as they are dropping targets they keep...

I am fascinated by this. I think the possibilities for McWOD (as they are calling on RPGnet) break down as follows: 1) Monte Cook's WoD fiction 2) A d20 (or, much more likely OGL) version of the existing WoD 2.0 3) An OGL/d20 version of WoD 1.0 4) Monte's alternate (but, extremely likely...

Crafty Games has put out a book of d20 Modern base classes for Spycraft. I wonder if that might help bridge the gap. Blood & Fists + Spycraft, cherrypicking what you need/like from either, might be tenable-- as far I'm concerned, if there's six ability scores, saving throws and a d20, it is...

Well, that was fast...! Right on, man, these conversions are great. If my M&M players get mad when I say I think we should start playing Spycraft instead, I'll tell them to blame you. Seriously, thanks a lot. PAC is one of my favorite all time d20 books, and it just gained new life.

Yeah, but in Pan-Asian Collective the crunchy bits represented real stuff like the Five Animal Styles of Kung-Fu, so I guess I would have to do some work to find which bits made the jump between Editions and give them back their old names. Pan-Asian Collective had a Department called "Disciple...

Yeah, I guess it is one of those things. I know it sounds nitpicky, but when I was playing SW, part of the allure of the styles was to say you had mastered Mace Windu or whoever's fighting style. I know there are complexities at the Big Publishers we don't see here in web-land, that's why to us...

I have yet to read Walking Dead, but I dug Kirkman's Marvel Zombies alot\\, so I intend to get around to it Yeah, Monster Island is so good it makes you feel guilty about reading it for free. Mike Todd, Big Finger Games' head honcho, turned me onto it, and it led in turn to my reading other...

What sucks is, people pipe up more when they don't like something than when they do. I've looked at the Saga changes a couple of times and thought "Oh, that's a good idea," and being content with the direction I didn't post anything. Human nature I guess. When BFG puts out a product and there's...

Do you know if it would take a lot of converting to use Pan-Asian Collective with Spycraft 2.0?
