    Rules of the Game: Going Metric ...

    What I find disturbing, is considering the imperial measurement as a system with a medieval fell, while most region had their own system. The imperial system used in the US being an offshot of a standardisation of one of the system in england.

    Rich Redman on being a good forum denizen

    err, I must correct something here. SCO is heading to small fish to get most of their revenue, it works mainly in the U.S. as its cheaper to negociate a license for linux with SCO than to win a trial against SCO. IBM and General Motors (and a few others) are those that do not negociate...

    Rich Redman on being a good forum denizen

    I find the comment on the OGL a little harsh. I'm still puzzled as to why the GPL/LGPL Berkley license, and many other, could be used by a great number of people without lawyer, and why you'd require one for the OGL (though, owners of PI in computer science might tend to be a bit more helpful...

    I'm looking for

    A lich bard... you did not meant fun that way? (Though, it's an interesting concpet, Ravenloft 2nd ed had a great many such character, the bard lich having lost some of its abilities to touch people feeling, or a ranger transfered in a golem who lost his empathy with animals). The trolls in the...

    D&D 30th Anniversary

    Another thumb for review of classic product (perhaps restricted to those available on RPGnow or SVgames). Contest with the help of some publisher: A publisher put a prize tied with an old book, and the one doing the best rule conversion the product (using the special WotC license), would get...

    Babylon 5

    I like it, the setting info is very good, there is hope that the companion book will include a ship builder system, and I like the rules decision that mongoose took. Now the organisation of the book is horrible, with no chapter heading, up to a point were I was tempted to use another game...

    Declaration in Section 15

    It is even messier if you plan to use the section 15 of tome of horror, if you apply the license to the letter, you'll have silly bable like ©[fill in the blank]. If you do not, Necromancer promise to not sue you, but that doesn't prevent other from doing so.

    Request for D20 Mecha generator

    I don't know what was the exact agreement between Hasbro and Infograme (Atari), but Atari hold the right to create most software derived from WotC text. I meant that they can't give rights that they don't hold anymore, so they can allow someone else to do a chargen. Last time I checked on...

    Request for D20 Mecha generator

    WotC doesn't have the right to make some software based on their works, that is the right of Atari. They can only make chargen with limited function. They can't provide those right to another publisher, so any material derived on the SRD is limited by those agreements. The only exception is...

    Plans for a 2001: a Space Odyssey RPG?

    AFAIK Arthur C. Clarck did a serie of follow-up after 2001 (2031, 2131 or something like that). Plus, I can picture the 2001 univers as a nice hard sci-fi setting. I'm quite impatient to see what will come from AEG

    d20 mecha SRD pdf - anyone making one?

    the Mecha compendium includes such rules and you can find them in the Mecha SRD extreme (and the next printing of the mecha compendium will include mecha rules).

    Mecha SRD Extreme PDF

    exactly, sorry that it was unclear. That's fine, and BTW I have a few comments on some feats (but I can't read my USB key at school, I'll have to wait a trimester for that). Yes, I've seen them, the problem is that on a 800*600 screen, the bookmarks takes a lot of space, and navigating...

    Mecha SRD Extreme PDF

    Nice. Though: a few paragraph are cut, on a landscape PDF it isn't good. (the other classes paragraph for the mecha pilot class, the class skills for the mecha commander, etc...). It would have been nicer for users (IMO) if the new material, and the appendix from the mecha compendium, had been...

    (Mongoose) OGL CyberNet Preview

    The second preview is better. I wanted to second the l and I problem, you should choose another font for the titles, and my opinion on the eye in the border is that it perfectly fit the genre (minority report and blade runner). The art is ok in the second preview but bland in the first one IMO.

    What on earth is wrong with publishers these days?

    For reviews on a seller website, I agree. But it wouldn't bother me if an author made reviews of competiting products on their website (like Monte Cook) or on ENworld, if it is stated in the review or comment section (at worst, it would allow to take a look at the other reviews of the...

    Stop Piracy, Internet Sminar

    Dana_Jorgensen: there might be cost issue, pit-trap issue (hack directly on the website, fraudulent use of credit card, and the funniest changing the id to a random id), and legal issue (I'm pretty sure that it would be illegal all over Europe).

    Stop Piracy, Internet Sminar

    For Kazaa and such, Post incomplete files/preview/ads/corrupted files with the same keyword which are used by the pirated files (or even a corrupted version of a pirated file) [bitter words] The last time I proposed this, a guy from RPGnow said that it would be stupid because it would provide...

    The Dragon's Gate (M&M/Action!)

    Seems interesting. Is there plans to release San Angelo: City of Heroes with stats for the same systems (M&M, Hero and Action!) ? Do you plan to release some of San Angelo as PDF?
