    [d20 Modern] New Feat - One Shot, One Kill

    Like the idea, but I'm torn over using Point Blank Shot as a prereq for a sniper feat. It's kinda close range focused. Did you consider using a BAB bonus (+6 or so) or Focused (+2 to Balance and Concentration) instead? Maybe Weapon Focus...but that's tighter in d20 Modern, isn't it? Requires...

    Yep. I'll be at work both Christmas Eve and Christmas, so I'll be online just about all night. Beats actually doing my job...

    Dang, too slow. Well, if there's a sub game, sign me up. I'll play GODLIKE or FENG SHUI, or for that matter, just about anything.

    What's your 3.5e wishlist?

    Y'know, there's really only one thing that's been bugging me about D&D standard, that I'd like them to change. Make the shortspear a medium weapon. For pity's sake, 99% of the available illustrations of people using spears show them being used in one hand. It's how they work. Piercing weapon...

    Getting a book you write published?

    What trancejeremy said. If you're planning on doing it PDF, just do it yourself. That's what I'm doing. Actually, you might be in a better position than me, since you've got no small bit of name recognition on the boards, and as we all know, these boards are 95% of the gaming population...

    News page vs. boards membership

    Slightly confused, here. I'm logged in on the boards, all kosher. As I understand it, I need to register again to make comments on the news page, right? But when I try to do so, I get told that my email address (joecrow@speakeasy.net) is already in use. I've no memory of signing up previously...

    Ultramodern Firearms d20 Web Preview

    Looks delish. Thinking though: that layout, the borders, the little graphicy bits in the corners and whatnot...cutting a little close to the bone on WotC's trade dress, no? Looking at the trade dress bit they released, you might want to be careful, lessen you've got some side agreement thing...

    Alien Xenomorphs in d20 Modern

    You're a madman! Me likey! Hmmm...strap that bad boy onto an adult black dragon and watch the fur fly! Or better yet, infest the Dragon Gang from Green Ronin's Arcana:Societies of Magic with xenomorphs midway through the campaign... :D :D :D

    Primitive campaign setting

    Macuahuitl. Pronounced, near as I can tell, MA-koo-a-HWEE-tul. Sweet little weapons, aren't they? There are reliable reports from the records of the conquest of Mexico of Aztec warriors armed with macuahuitls regularly dismembering folks in seconds with those babies. See, properly knapped...

    d20 Tribe 8...interest?

    Actually, yeah. It does make a difference. Tribe 8 always looked like a really interesting setting, but my finances are tight enough that I've never been able to justify dropping the cash on a game I'll likely never be able to convince my players to try. They're kinda d20-centric, y'know? With...

    Will DM for food (in Haverhill, MA)

    Small gaming group looking for a few good players, and maybe an occasional DM. We've been playing together off and on for about 5 years. We usually play alternate Sundays, 1 PM to 7PM, sometimes every Sunday if we get enthusiastic about a particular campaign. Primarily D&D/d20 and Deadlands...

    Payment of Writers

    In a heartbeat. Some points of comparison: MM2 retails for 29.95 at 224 pages. Yeah, it's in color. Usual pretty WotC cover, nice paper. Mix of old critters and new ones, slightly tilted toward higher CRs. ToH retails for 29.95 at 400 pages. Black and white (I believe), pretty S&S cover...

    Shane Hensley comments on the RPG industry

    I dunno. Anthony V seemed to feel that unless said rule was verifiably developed by someone who'd never seen the CoC book and had never spoken to anyone who'd seen it, the similarity to copyrighted text might be actionable. At least that's the impression I got when I asked him about it on the...

    Shane Hensley comments on the RPG industry

    Gotta say I'm with Psionotic on this one. My current crew's been playing together for about 5 years or so, mostly alternating between D&D and Deadlands in the last few. While I bought the core Deadlands d20 books, that was just to see how they did it and to find crunchy bits to rip off (and to...
