With everything that the DM has set to keep the keep, let him. Just do not engage in this battle. Go do some adventuring elsewhere and then come back to the keep and see if it is still as heavily guarded - it may not be after a while (I can see the inhabitants getting into several fights over...

This is going to be another Something*Positive storyline, isn't it?

A note on combat in T20 to better understand why it should be avoided and why character-level combat skills are de-emphasised when compared to other d20 systems. The most potent weapon in the The Traveller's Handbook is the USP 27 Spinal Mount Meson Gun, a weapon that fires pi-neutral mesons...

For all the good advice I've seen on this thread, I can't shake the feeling that it will inspire a few panels of "Something*Positive" soon....

OK, I have some mead now (yes, I found a liquor store that sells mead here, mead is tasty by the way), and I'm off to report part deux. Be careful of the reputation of your DM style, your infamy will proceed you. Every employee in the store knew who the local DM of a game was when a kid came...

I took a part-time seasonal temp job at the FLGS for a change of pace and a refreshing break from my usual line of work. I looked upon it as a vacation. Even looked upon it as a way to learn more about the games market from a retail standpoint. These are my observations from working in a FLGS...

All of the reptile people in my homebrew setting taste like chicken.

Huh? I don't understand what you're saying here. Also, I'd like to ask - Did you just read the rules or did you actually play the game before you decided that it wasn't for you? I'm not trying to be offensive here with the question, I'm just curious. I'll explain. See, I've been playing...

*A lone, unkempt man with a cat walking beside him places a sheet of parchment on a thorn. He looks down on the black-furred form and amusedly says, "You know, this is the second time I have come here. Should I keep this up, the readers of my words may think that I am daft. You do not think so...

How about instead of Con damage, have the incanter suffer Charisma damage to represent how the incanter's personality has been affected by the backlash of the incantation? Its just a thought that might allow for some interesting role-play.

Another vote for Kender as Most-Despised Race. Every player that I have seen who has wanted to play a Kender, has only wanted to do so because they liked being a nuisance to everyone else at the table.

Actually, by starting this thread on this board, you've helped let more people know that T20 Traveller is out there with plenty of online support. Thank you for making the game less obscure. Oh, and there are 12 copies of The Traveller's Handbook on Amazon with the lowest price being $30.89.

By clicking on the above link and then going to the Traveller20 section, I've found 6 paper books and 16 ebooks that you can pay for, and 12 free downloads that are teasers. Once you sign up for the free Citizens of the Imperium forum, you gain access to the flibrary which has 44 free entries...

1. Why don't you buy the magazine? I don't buy the magazine because it no longer provides support for games that are not published by WotC. Dragon used to be a general-purpose support magazine for gamers. You could find articles covering not only D&D, but Traveller, Call of Cthulhu, and...

You know your game is twisted when....... Your 2nd Ed DnD Bard manages to become the thrall of a sentient tapestry that is embroidering history into its weave, and both you and your character think it is just so damn cool....

I've actually started collecting the character sheets of players who die in my games. My "Book of the Dead" is now a great source of NPCs and in-game irony. So far, we've had fun with this and nobody has complained. Funny thing though, I ran a couple of games at the local game store on...

I shall be the second. While playing AD&D 1st, our party was attacked by a werewolf. Since I was playing a CN Ftr/M-U, I decided to bite the werewolf back when it bit me. My character never contracted lycanthropy though, mainly because the DM ruled that he had contracted a rotting mouth...

Traveller T20

While running Star Wars (both versions), I came to expect the moment in each game session when my players would "get ate up with stupid" as the effect was termed. During d20 Star Wars, a player with a 12th level Scoundrel decided to jump on a ticking thermal detonator to shield the rest of the...

*A lone, unkempt man places a sheet of parchment on a thorn. While walking away he looks to be speaking to a lump under his cloak and he says, "There, its done. Now will you quit bothering me about it?" * PUSSYCAT LAMENT Its cold and damp outside And my belly isn't filled, Padding on four...
