Hi there, I too have an account created shortly before the chrash that's AWOL. I've just emailed you (PCat) the details of the paypal transaction, and I'm posing here in case it gets stuck in the spam filter or whatever. Thanks for your help.

1. Adventures that fit together into campaigns, or fit into existing campaigns/settings. Try running T20 Traveller in the Gateway 993 setting. It's got 1444 star systems and 48 of them are described in the text, they're spread pretty evenly so once you start playing there'll be 3 within a year...

No, it's work, and I rarely enjoy it. I'm especially unhappy because most RPG publishers seem downright determined not to sell things that will save prep time.

But parties need clerical abilities (healing, restoration, curing blindness etc) and there's no "secular fighter/healer" class for the players who don't want to be devout. An awful lot of people playing clerics never wanted to, they're "taking one for the team", so it's hard to blame them for...

Likes: - Good solo or in a small party. They're multispeed, they can melee easy stuff all day (unlike a mage), or go all-out for a single fight by casting spells (unlike a fighter). And they have some social/diplomatic ability. - Proficient with heavy armour (which requires extensive training)...

Whatever gets their juices going. You can always find them a hints and tips guide for their chosen class.

What started as a rules-based system for enforcing an agreement -- essentially a machine -- seems to be turning into a goddess, with personality and motivations. Neat. :)

I wouldn't say that there's too much magic in the RPGs that have magic, there are plenty of lower-magic fantasy games out there. But I think that there's a definiete shortage of RPGs without any magic. Want to play Sci-Fi? The dominant systems (i.e. the ones you might actually get a group to...

Is your goal to have everybody level at once, or to have everybody at the same level? If the former, losing a level when raised need not be an issue. The raised PC is still in sync with the rest of the party, but one level behind where they were before.

I've been running FATE, in which the "FATE points" are effectively action points and the "aspects" give extra FATE points in line with roleplay. They've been enormously useful to me because the game has one or two characters, and the FATE points smooth over the slings and arrows of outragoeus...

Title: The Kursis Charter Author: Morte Number of Threads: 1 Type: Sci-Fi System: T20 Traveller Setting: Gateway 993 Started: 19 Aug 2003 Status: Completed Average Installment Length: About a thousand words Average Frequency of Installments: Shamefully rare, but it's finished now. Available...

Of course, Ron house ruled in critical failures on ability/skill checks for this PBEM. And Vasilii rolled a 1 there... * Ominous, spooky music *

* prods (contact) with stick *

So, what you're saying is, the mess we're in now is entirely our own fault? ;) Well, uh, yeah, I guess it is...

Well, I'm not a D&D player. But if I were, I'd be interested in Ptolus because it sounds like a product which might take some work off the GM -- and if there's one thing I want from game companies, it's that. If somebody did a 500-1000 page book covering all of the 50-100 star systems in one of...

Is this the "normal" editon, or is it some luxury collectable item for GenCon with a lower priced book intended for actual use to follow a few weeks later?

Ah well. I'll just have to look forward to the next one, then.

It's second only to Semi-Sentient Biped Pack Animals

1. Kill them, take their stuff, and level up so you can kill bigger things and take bigger stuff. 2. Always deny that you play by rule 1.

So, will this dose of the warm fuzzies inspire you to get back to writing your Greyhawk story hour?
