In Fahla, which I am slowly retooling, the plan is that magic comes from the spirit world. All magic is in essense divine, and it is worked in the mortal realm through the five elements of air, water, earth, fire and spirit (which is really a macro or super element). Each element is both a...

Wishfull thinking, but they gave big rollouts to Dark Sun and Birthright and Planescape as well... Eberron is different in tone from DnD, so it will likely end up on the niche side of things after the early hype quites down.

I would say that's intentionally taking a literal interpretation of what was writtn which you and everyone else know to be not what was intended in order to defeat the argument by not really adressing it's actual point. I would presume the actual point to have been - d20 and OGL should build on...

I would, but there's no contact email for you anywhere I can find. :D

I've started writing fiction (see the sig, I'll be posting a new short soon too). I do 3d art, I'm into and sort of breed African Cichlids, I make a mean latte, I'm a politics fiend, I read Supreme Court cases cause it's fun..., I've seen Law and Order enough times that I can spot which season...

BESM d20 is largely a melding on of BESM into d20. Half of it is a reprint of BESM, with the base changed from 2d6 roll under to d20 roll over. It then goes on to fix some of the issues people who have them have with tri-sta BESM, by introducing things that people who don't like d20 will not...

I am to MnM what Nightfall is to Scarred Lands... But I personally find that it scales down poorly. Below PL 10 it starts to have trouble. It works at PL 8, and it can almost work at PL 5, but already by that point you've lost a lot of what makes it a great supers engine. I use MnM for supers...

I agree with you, and I feel the industry should work to shut out authors and publishers who try to keep their work from entering into the OGL realm of things, though I have no idea how they would do it. I do find myself making selective purchases based on how well I can fit the products...

I'm actually taking the BESM d20 engine and using it to rebuild my Fahla setting, along with a novella I'm writing. I recently turned down a BESM tri-stat game, with the best group of gamers I ever had over the years, because I've come to realize I'm not at all idealistic, and I just can't play...

I used to belong to a world-design mailing list, hosting I think through nocturne.org. But that url seems to have been taken for somebody's blog, and I can't find any world-design mailing lists on the net now. Does anyone know where the list has gone, or if there is any other similar list out...

A point based breakdown of all the class, skill, feat, and other abilities of the d20 system has been out and up for free download since May or so of 2003. Here: http://www.guardiansorder.com/games/d20/srd/ It gives -everything- a point costs, and assumes 10 points per level. 100xlvl XP equals...

To me that would seem like removing psionics from Dark Sun, or Elves from Forgotten Realms. If you don't want psionics in your game, Eberron just might not be an ideal setting choice.

Let's hope it stays that way... The last thing I want to see is the iconics in the book turn into 57th level kung-fu psionic ninja bunnies after the novel line comes out... And you know it will... I would love to see WotC/TSR do a fixed timeline campaign setting, but I suspect that the...

Thing is... If they're not evil per se, and if they have a more varied culture and no Lolth BS, then that might be the first time I've seen Drow in DnD that caught my interest. I did find it interesting that this is the only WotC setting without subraces. So far at least. If there's got to be...

So do you get an extra discount if you come in in the proper costume on your birthday... :eek:

I did that once, right after my last move. Went into a place down the street for a haircut and $30 later with little politeness I left with a not very good haircut. Now I go to the $11 place run by the chinese chic my brother used to flirt with all the time - she's friendly, won't shut up the...

But a small store with an online presence -CAN- compete on price. I've bought several d20 books not from amazon, but from the z-shops that show up when I click on that 'Buy new and used for $x'. For the physical presence, the shop's focus needs to shift from RPGs and into general gaming, and...

One of the Kalamar books I own was actually on reserve for one of my players but they turned around and gave it to me when I walked in. I had no idea it was on reserve for anybody, and found out that evening at the game. I did know it was the only copy they had. Now, this was the not-as-local...

I'll just restate what I said elsewhere: Bought a copy at the local store today - even though doing so means it costs $10 more than normal. I kept reading all this stuff about printing errors in so many copies, so I picked up one of the books and counted off every single page. At that point I...

Why should I care about the FLGS? Really, why? In the 'Eberron rocks' thread there was this off topic note: I would say yes. I could say that I'm not a socialist, so sure, let em die... welcome to capitalism - it isn't just about letting the publisher charge your pants off, it's also about...
