Cool! I'll ask my brother to plunder it. ;) Seems like my bank account is on the decrease ever since those D&D mini's were released... :D

My brother is travelling to Boston in a few weeks, and I'm going to present him with a shopping list the size of the Pacific. Does anyone know good RPG shops in (preferrably the center of) Boston where he can spend my money? :) Thanks!

I can't believe I forgot Hackmaster... :confused: :p Thanks!

Nice! Keep 'em coming. :) I added Ars Magica as well.

Hey guys, thanks for the great response. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I'm working on some sort of survey for a local RPG project, and one of the questions will be which RPG systems are played by the person taking the survey. I would like to present a list of the biggest/best known systems and then offer an "other" option. So, what are the most important systems...

Well, the Wisdom - Willpower thing is kind of getting really appealing to me. Being in tune with your surroundings sure helps. The thing about Charisma that always bugged me is that it makes sorcerers, well, charismatic. It's as if an introvert/ugly/whatever person could never use this type...

Nice suggestion, but I prefer limiting it to one ability.

Re: Hit Dice plus Magic Dice? That's an interesting look at things, but it doesn't quite work out for me. Resistance seems more related to Willpower, which would make Wisdom the relevant ability. In fact, this adds a third possibility to determine mana: CON - Life Force WIS - Willpower CHA...

Hmm, you definitely have a point about Constitution becoming too interesting for a player. I'm gonna sit on this issue a while longer. :D

Hi I'm thinking a bit about some sort of spell point (mana) system for casting spells, but I'm not sure what to base the number of spell points available to a character on. I think that when you use spell points, you're working with an innate form of magic (somewhat like the sorcerer's magic)...

Cool. I thought it would be something simple. Thanks for the quick clarification!

It sounds like Terror TRAX to me too, except that there's no book included with those CDs. Wasn't there 1 Ravenloft module with a CD too?

In the Monster Manual, there are 3 wolves: Winter Wolves, Worgs, and normal Wolves. For some reason, the damage of the Winter Wolf and the Worg seems to be too high: Wolf: Str 13 -> 1d6+1 Winter Wolf: Str 18 and Large Size -> 1d8+6 (shouldn't this be +5?) Worg: Str 17 -> 1d8+4 (shouldn't this...

Hey guys Thanks for all the inspiration. I'm a few steps closer to creating that "typical" gnomish name. Looks like something rather short, a bit funny, and perhaps a bit halfling-like should do the trick. "Dilby Firdrick" and "Svirri Harwomble" spring to mind now :D :) :)

... must be to find a decent name for their kids. I've been searching all over the web and through my library of role playing books, but I just can't find anything useful on how to construct a gnomish name. I can easily imagine a dwarven name (like Norfain) or an elven name (Lyrithias), but...

I don't like over-powered magic very much, but I dislike low-magic settings as well. Finding a magical item should be like unwrapping a birthday gift: not every day, and you're usually very happy with it. On the other hand, magic definitely has its place in fantasy, and the best settings in my...

Here's some of my "coolest" moments (the moments the whole party participated in and often still talk about years later): 1. Slashing straight through a horde of hobgoblins. In in-game time, we destroyed about two dozen of them in only 15 seconds (we were about 3rd level then). Being able to...

The victim would be hit by "only" a few hundred lugs. The rest would simply add on top of the pile that has formed by then (adding to the weight of the pile, obviously, but not doing the same damage). Anyone wasting a wish on something like this ought to get a whole frickin' rainforest op top...

Last night, we were asked by local villagers to get rod of a bunch of orcs who had taken over a warehouse. Some of the orcs were on the roof, wielding bows, and some were inside (we had no idea how many and how strong). Since our DM could play for only a few hours, we were trying to get things...
