Looking at the load times of ancient firearms, wouldn't it be better to make them an Encounter item? For example, a pistol could be: Wheel-lock Pistol, Level 3 Wondrous Item: 340 gold Ranged 10 Power (Encounter • Fire): Standard Action. Make a Dexterity vs Reflex; on a hit deal 3d10 + Dexterity...

So, has anyone made 4th edition rules for medieval firearms? I'd love to include some in my game, especially if they were basically an Encounter power. I think that would nicely reflect the loading times of ancient guns. Anyway, thanks for the help guys!

I'm just glad someone got the chance to look over the pdf :). I know it can be a little intimidating in size, but I think people will find alot of useful stuff in it. RangrWickett: Take a close look at the plant section, I found that the players really enjoyed exploring to find useful plants...

Thanks for the comments guys... For those interested in the campaign setting, I made this post: Endless Desert: Survival in a stone-age wasteland

With the release of 4th ed, our home campaign will be changing quite drastically. In honor of the campaign I'm leaving behind, I thought I would the bulk of the work available. I used the Athas.org documents as a basis and spent more hours then I care to admit editing and re-writing it until its...

Mlund: In the campaign we’re in, crafting is not a “plot device”. I’m not arguing that crafting should be critical in your campaign, simply stating that in mine, and perhaps others, it is. In our game it is a central skill… wood and stone items break frequently, and new ones must be crafted...

And a crafting character doesn't mean its unplayable. As mentioned earlier, in my campaign, it is quite critical. Of course, setting it at a late stone-age / early bronze-age level helps. If the party is attacked by a monster, such as a giant centipede, the monster doesn't have loot... the...

I'd rather not House Rule, or if I do, do so with as little changes to the actual rules as possible. One thing I had considered is to do the following. Objects crafted from materials predominantly found in the ground use Dungeoneering. Weaponsmithing, mining, etc would fall under this. Objects...

Maybe its just me... but it seems that the rules only seem to care about combat and combat is probably the rarest thing in our campaign. I understand having all those things falling under the DM's power, but I want my players to feel like they are in charge of their own characters and destinies...

Ok.. so, what kind of check is it? How fast does it take to craft something? How much does it cost? If a character wants to get better at crafting, what can he do about it? If the answer is simply to "RP it", I have no idea how long a long sword takes to craft, or anything else for that matter...

In our low-magic, early stone age campaign the Crafting skills are a critical component. Unfortunately it looks like there's no way to actually craft anything in 4th. I understand that my own campaign is probably far from the norm, but what about the more typical weapon or armorsmithing dwarf...

Thanks :). There are a number of reasons why it is easier to make props for CoC than D&D. The 1920's and 30's are a well-known, and relatively recent, era. I can go out and buy items from that time (or items that look it) from antique shops and flea markets. Since it is a somewhat more recent...

That's great Piratecat, thank you for changing it :). Is it possible to do small preview images with it?

Sorry about that... it is partly due to a series of complications. Is there a way to get them as in-line with the text as thumbnails?

Lol, glad you guys liked it :). It was a fun little project and I had a great time doing it.

After those adventures we move on to Tatters of the King (I actually placed the play between The Haunting and Edge of Darkness). The investigators got an invitation from the lawyer handling the will of Meriwether…. The letter is done on parchment, mostly I love Gaspard Phillippe Narcisse’s...

Ok, looks I can get this to work in bits... here is a copy of the post from yog-sothoth.com: So, ho far have you guys gone to make props and such for your CoC game? I know the Cthulhu live guys have everyone beat... but not counting them, how do the table-top players do? I thought some of you...

Prop insanity for CoC For D&D I normally do soundtracks and such, every so often I'll do an actual prop, like a book etc. For my Call of Cthulhu games, it's a different story though... Call of Cthulhu Prop Insanity (Yog-Sothoth.com post) I hope you guys enjoy it, I'd love to hear your...

I've always been curious about doing this via Magic Jar as well... especially on a physical based spell. Does the spell follow the body or spirit?

Yeah, I know ;).
