Well, obviously I don't have DG d20 yet, but from Call of Cthulhu, the main things that could throw you are the spells, NPCs and monsters. Call of Cthulhu d20 uses a completely different set of spells, but an enterprising GM ought to be able to just replace the CoC spells with regular d20...

I read threads like this to feel better about bad reviews. "Wow, that guy really slammed us. I had no idea we'd done such a bad ... oh wait, I forgot, he's a gamer; gamers like to whine about nothing for no reason. So... Okay, maybe the review has some valid points ... but then again, maybe...

Keep on the Borderlands. Yeah, me and everyone else.

Alternate healing does work fine. Best thing is, nobody has to play the cleric. There is no one class needed for the party to succeed. It is no more of a war-game session than a regular 3.5 game. Combat takes a little longer, but it is way more fun and interesting. And stunts are the best. Magic...

I have found that Mutants & Masterminds is the quickest and most versatile in terms of hero creation, and the easiest for new players to learn. It's the best superhero game in print to me, except for Godlike (which isn't exactly a regular superhero game). As far as older systems, I like DC...

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the current status of Shadowrun? And is there a d20 conversion somewhere?

There's a cold place in hell for you for saying that, you know.

I would put forth Beyond the Mountains of Madness as possibly the best RPG campaign ever written, even beyond The Masks of Nyarlethotep and The Walker in Wastes. And all three are even better than Dragonlance series, The Temple of Elemental Evil, White Wolf's Transylvania Chronicles (though I'm...

Have announced product yet? You have no chance to survive make your time. Is our children learning? :lol:

I'm not so sure. I would hope so, but Apocalypse and Cyberspace and Past have yet to make it into the MSRD, so we can't be certain. Of course, now that I recall, I do think I saw some WotC authors complaining that a lot of stuff that is supposed to be OGC has not yet made it to the MSRD.

Call of Cthulhu was the only big Horror game for a while, but that has changed. I think Horror has been in the top three since the early 90's, when Vampire and the other World of Darkness games came out. White Wolf isn't nearly as big as WotC, but it is the only other really big kid on the block.

Most WoD games I've played, there was a lot of fighting. Especially Werewolf, which is kind of built for that. It is true though, that anybody-- no matter how powerful-- can get killed by much weaker characters. Once, this guy who wasn't part of our regular gaming group wanted to run...

Every member of the Frequency has a special cell-phone that only Aleph, the Global Frequency operator, has the number for. When it rings you pick it up in a hurry. At that point the operator Aleph tells you the situation and tells you what you're doing, and then you do it. It's that simple. But...

Thank you for your input, timespike. I'm glad to know we're on the right track. As far as your first paragraph, that is exactly where POSTMODERN is headed. Also, we're looking at collecting and tweaking some of the existing variant rules out there, especially ones outside of the Modern rules we...

I'd like to see conversions of the main old WoD games (and did some myself as few years back), not necessarily for whole campaigns, but to use as more detailed bad guys for a traditional d20 game. I used to run Hunter, and a great part of the game was the PCs struggling to understand to customs...

Have you read the comic (now collected in graphic novel form) Global Frequency? It features an independent volunteer intelligent agency that responds quickly to emergencies. If there's a fun example in recent fiction of disparate team members being mobilized in a hurry, that's it.

Unless I miss my guess, the fact that a book called Unearthed Arcana and a book called Arcana Unearthed exist is probably a big reason why the augmented and repackaged version of the latter was released as Arcana Evolved. I try to say Arcana Evolved, even though I only own the original, just...

Can you get a PayPal account? I know it sounds like a hassle but really it's not.

I would have Grim Tales PCs but generate most of the villains with the villain classes from Mastering Iron Heroes. I would make the Iron Heroes feats available to Grim Tales characters, using the section on adapting to other d20 games in the back (changing the Mastery levels to simple...

You know, if WotC wanted to, they could just take the powers from M&M-- which are OGC, unlike Power Points-- and adapt them to d20 Modern. Just like they took Damage Save and adapted it to D&D in Unearthed Arcana. Will they? Probably not. But they could.
