What about sages? librarians? cartographers? poitical advisors? school masters? Some people have no interest in the practical. There are those that devote themselves to esoteric knowledge, theory, history and art. If given the opportunity, they might be eternal students and teachers, ever...

No one would want to play a Commoner, right? I mean, they are the worst class in the whole game. Why even bother having levels for them, you barely could survive first level, and have no abilities. How is it possible to play out a game where the ordinary people show their heroism, with a class...

Sometimes you choose what god to worship. Sometimes, the god chooses you. For reasons unknown to mortals, some few people do not ask, and yet attract the attention of the divine. They are granted abilities the likes of which even the most faithful of priests cannot match. Labeled as witches, or...

New product, new company! Spectrum Shift: Unlikely Heroes Fantasy literature abounds with tales of ordinary folk, lifted to the status of Hero by extraordinary events. The Unlikely Heroes are seven character classes with concepts drawn from the standard NPC classes in the DMG. They are for...

of course of course LMAO The best I have was the mount of Mygothic Sunsteel, the paladin's paladin. His steed was Muffin.

Law, Defining, Meaning I think this is obfiscating rather than enlightening. The base premise is that lawful characters are either servile to order or questing for definitions. The article goes on to explain the latter case, indicating that at heart a lawful character is searching for meaning...

Key things for interest: Variability. A barbarian / fighter has one role: Hit it. Hard. Hit it again. = repetition = boring. If she hates spells, the obvious choice is rogue. Go for skill variability and give her lots of neat npcs to interact with. If she is sick of rogues (you mention her last...

Hmm... :\ Is a study on the nature of the dualities of good and evil or law and chaos a viable D20 suppliment? Probably. Does it look from this article that you are addressing this keeping in mind the complexities of the issues involved and your target audience? I don't think so. For...

OOhh... synchonisity of thought across the world... In the Chrome World background (much work before it comes to fruition) I am thinking of including an optional five duality alignment system with similar chromatic tendancies (but much different meanings for the colours). The main consequences...

mix it up The best game I ever ran was in the early 90s. The players were 1 male, 5 female. The women in question had largely gotten interested in gaming via their boyfriends, who were my university RPG main stays. The group had previously played games separately and had had diverse...

Well, in times of trouble, the cleric. In an average day, the bard. Depends if you want for entertainment or guidance. And from a rules perspective under all circumstances, the answer is "Whoever has the higher charisma.": odds are, the bard. From a gurps-type perspective, alignment in any...

pdf under $2 Thanks to the presence of these and their aparant success I am seriously considering breaking up my small-to-medium sized first release into a few versions. I would like some advice, if people are willing to give it. I have a not-hypothetical release planned for about $4. It is...

Bard, cleric, bard/cleric Consider that the core adventuring group consists of 4 characters (fighter, wizard, cleric, rogue) it is not suprising that these four character classes are min/maxed to their roles. The fact that the cleric occupies the rank of 2nd best combatant, second best spell...

open office I have never tried using pdf995, any good? I have had few problems opening the .doc file in Open Office, saving it in open office format then converting it to PDF, the only problem is you lose the hyperlinks. Does pdf 995 allow you to add links in like Acrobat Writer does? Evan

The plan in brief: 1) Product 1: Character Classes (drop into any d20 fantasy setting) 2) Product 2: Magic System (drop into any d20 fantasy setting) 3) Depending upon interest generated from the two aforementioned products, a World Book with all kinds of craziness. All to be produced for pdf...

Thanks Thanks, Crothian. Good to know. Are there any format or size issues with sending you .pdfs? Or can we just dump megabites on you? ;) Warm regards, Evan www.plotdevice.com.au

Dirt Cheap Option? First timer here, please be gentle. Interesting and useful thread. OK, I have some ideas I want to put out there in PDF, and have no money. Is it acceptable to put out a "no frills" product, with little or no art, borders, hyperlinks? Using free programs like Open Office...
