The only thing they could do to publish PoL setting books and stay true to the fundamental design is to publish individual points. Developing the city of Bob, which happens to be in the PoL setting, and then detailing the complex workings of Bob is fine. As long as they don't then go into...

Haven't seen anything at all so can only offer what I'd like to see. I want the abilities/powers you have and the spells/prayers you can cast (or whatever the latest naming conventions are) to be dependent on the god that you worship. If you worship the god of war then you have spells a god of...

I have to say that I'd love a TOEE style game. Control over all the members of your party, micro management on a turn based system. It would of course require a lot of improvements over TOEE itself - and not just bug fixing. Better resource management systems, more variety of resources, the...

Do you have any more of this written up somewhere that I could take a peek at? Looking to do something similar in a new homebrew I'm considering and if you have somewhere to start that would be most inspirational... Cheers

Yep no doubt there - I was just answering the general question about nunchuks... I've never used the 'uneven' staff version. I have tried a three section staff and didn't get the hang of it, but I get that it's much more like either a staff or a pair of sticks, it's very unlike nunchuks.

Flails I only know the basics so I'm appreciating all the knowledge posted here. Nunchucks however I do know how to use. Most obvious thing with nunchuks - neither end is more dangerous to the wielder than the other is, meaning you can catch the other end and bring it back at a greater variety...

No. That which is currently called race in D&D is NOT species. Not if you have viable half-elves and half-orcs.

I'm sorry but I have to say this - HOW POINTLESS!!! Race is an accepted term, already used by all current gamers. OK it sometimes needs an explanation when you're introducing a new gamer, but has anyone ever had a problem with it. Class in D&D doesn't refer to social status - are we going to...

If I was going to SUBSCRIBE to a service that enables me to game over the net, I would expect that service to have the tools I need to run that game. If I don't have the option of putting a gnoll figure onto the virtual table top so some player the other side of the world know what he's looking...

To keep the boat from being bashed against the docks by surf, tides, wind, etc... it's actually fairly common in certain harbours depending on how you tie up to the quay, particularly where they are unsheltered - as they appear to be in the last frames. So my theory is that Rich wanted the nice...

Cheers for these ideas guys - any more out there? Celebrim - you've got the point exactly... no phones, transport etc. - except maybe one off items like Thornir's bag of shopping. Schporto - I already have animals and magical beasts being tamed, controlled or just downright used in various...

My home brew is a fairly high magic world - probably not as high magic as Eberron seems to be but magic is certainly prevalent. As such everyone, right down to commoners, expects a certain level of magic in the world. While some of the spells listed in the books have obvious applications...

Or of course - the player rolls it toward the DM screen and you try to block them from seeing the result. Tricky but maybe worth it if the players really want to get their hands on them dice.

Missywelden - an idea that I picked up right here and that has been working out great for my group is to have each player roll a bunch of d20s at the start of the game - and record the results. Whenever you need a skill check that you don't want the player to know (or an initiative check -...

I'll vote with the full round action to string a bow, it's really not that complicated once you know how and assuming you have a spare available (which I would certainly grant to any archer character, but maybe not to any other type of character that happens to have a bow) However I would say...

An alternate solution Not sure if this will work - don't know enough about the adventure in question or the questions that you asked in the thread in question but... You can always change how true the information in that thread is. It could be information that the Paladin has heard is true...

That really depends on the species of bird - vultures have phenomenal sense of smell As to how most of the raptors track - that would have to be by sight. Presuming they know what to look for and are trained to follow it then they just keep it in sight and you follow it. O course this has...

Given that they only have tunnels to go through - not whole landscapes, then the map only needs to impart information about how those tunnels connect - it has less need to convey distance. So it would be much more 'symbolic' that accurate. Tunnel 1 connects to tunnel 2 at point X. Further...

Without random generation of numbers - its not D&D But DM Genie just puts it all into the hands of the computer... so 'dice' are still being rolled - only by the machine If your group is happy with it, go with it. I can see some GMs really liking it - players will spend their time thinking...

My deepest condolences for your loss mate - I hope that you are dealing with it well. It's hard at first to lose someone but know that with time the pain will ease and the memories sweeten. As to the game - I don't think I'd want to continue myself, at the very least not straight away. I'd...
