    [Sorta 2WS] Stats for RL celebrities

    Celebrity RPG Deathmatch A few local DMs have taken a shine to XCrawl, the D&D-meets-the-Running-Man game from Panda Head. In this setting, dungeoncrawlers are supposed to be viewed like modern-day media stars. What better way to get the appropriate feel, then, than to use celebrities as the...

    How many settings do you own (vs how many you actually use)?

    I own: Ravenloft, Testament, Urban Arcana, Freedom City, Forgotten Realms, and the new Scarred Lands builder books. I use: Ravenloft, UrbArc, and FR. But I'm learning to like Scarred Lands....

    Is WoTC borrowing to much from WW?

    Answer A: Of course not -- you'd get called on that sort of rip off. :) Answer B: I might make a few comments and comparisons between the Epic Level Handbook and Exalted, if that's your wont.:cool:

    Shrinkwrapping and your FLGS

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Shrinkwrapping and your FLGS Because the manufacturers of boxed games, knowing in advance that the product will be shrinkwrapped, do their best to give a complete description of the contents, along with pictures of the included parts and a summary of the mechanics. I don't need...

    2002 - Year of the Drow. So what should 2003 be?

    Two words: Maddie Webber. Three more: Iconic Drow Hottie.

    The Batman Thread

    How 'bout him? ;) Well, there's a couple ideas I've got for this one. The first is that, in a superhero universe, "doused by strange chemicals" is probably a template of some sort, resulting in increased CON and resistances. The second is that the Joker's prime stat has to be Charisma...

    Hulk Promo

    I was very impressed. It, better than any advertising campaign, demonstrated the differences and similarities between the three leading superhero games. (For instance, SAS starts with Bruce Banner and gives him a massive Alternate Form, while M&M begins with the Hulk and gives you Banner's...

    Dynasties & Demagogues: Retail Penetration?

    1. Yes. And you can see it in the sig. 2. Window display, new release rack. Will go to the d20 section when the time comes. 3. I've been known to recommend it to incoming customers. 4. The rpg.net review.

    d20weekly.com closes

    Nope. You've got three choices: 1. Fold it into a Pyramid subscription. The owners say there will be one d20 article each week, and the archives will contain the d20weekly articles. 2. Fold it into a Traveller subscription. 3. Have them mail you a check for a pro-rated amount, based on how...

    Madams & Mavericks

    Not exactly. Deadlands is the Weird West; Hell On Earth is the Wasted West; Lost Colony is the Way Out West.

    Vampires......Template, Talent Trees, or Feats?

    Re: Re: Funny you should mention this. On balance: my thought on that was that Vampire Hero would have few class skills or skill points and no Wealth Bonus. If you're making yourself a better vampire, you're not concentrating on more "human" things. To get those, you'll need to take levels in...

    [UrbArc] Shadow and Surveillance

    Presuming you're all still up for discussing this topic, I'd like to find out how those of you who'll be using the Shadow in your UrbArc games will deal with things like video recordings and the like. When a non-gifted individual watches the security tapes that show an illithid clotheshorse...

    Vampires......Template, Talent Trees, or Feats?

    Funny you should mention this. One of the things I'd been working on was a "NightLife" style setting for d20Modern. The solution I'll be using will be to set "vampire hero" as a basic class, with three Talent trees: Prince of Darkness (various charm and mesmerism tricks) Music of the Night...

    Got Urban Arcana! Summary & your questions answered!

    Sounds good. I was worried that this would be Shadowrun: The Early Years, but it might make a nice port for GURPS Technomancer -- can't wait to get a copy.

    Nyambe? Anyone

    I've been poring over it for the past three days. I like it -- still a little concerned about the balance between the new Core Classes and those in the PH, but I'm really into the new setting. It fits nicely into my campaign world, too.
