Yeah, Conviction will help you out of a tactical mistake, but unlike characters with hitpoints, you can't expect to wade through a swarm of 100 goblins, even at high levels. And that's just how I like it. I use True20 in a campaign I run with my wife. I've found combat to be a lot faster and...

Double Feh. I'm going to both! :D -tRR

I understand the reasons; it's just still counter-intuitive. We can't extol the virtues of product A simply because it was originally designed for a different niche. Even if product A were the best thing to happen to RPG since story-based experience points, 99% of the RPG community considered...

So even though you would be judging a mini on it's merits as a roleplaying aid, the fact that it is originally intended for use in a minis game disqualifies it? Just seems counter intuitive to me, since it isn't the minis game being judged, just the mini itself. Can't a product be "dual-use"...

There is always the option of reporting Paizo to the Better Business Bureau. They might help in resolving the issue. -tRR

What a great idea! Consider your suggestion taken! -tRR

Excellent! Thanks for the responses. Does anyone know if they will have a booth at the Indy GenCon? -tRR

I am trying to find a good gridded play mat for use with my group. Does anyone have any recommendations for one that can be used with dry erase markers? I vaguely remember a product released last year that was a series of smaller mats that could be attached to each other puzzle-style. Anyone...

Just to throw my two cents in, I don't think Harry will become an Auror. Once all the dust settles, I think he'll become a teacher: the Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor to be exact. -tRR

Considering that in True20 normal armor is added to the Toughness save, I would think that natural armor works the same way. Hope that helps, -tRR

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Keep 'em coming! I should probably mention that this won't necessarily be formal dining, so really heavy, multi-course meals are probably best to be avoided. It should also be mentioned that I am merely a level 2 Cook's Apprentice. And I only gained that...

So, I'm all geared up to host a LotR marathon, and am trying to come up with food ideas, a la Dinner and a Movie on TBS. My thought is to serve three meals, with a movie following each meal. But my creative juices are all dried up at the moment, and would love to hear some ideas from all...

I've been reading the threads here about the Black Company Campaign Setting and was wondering about its usefulness for a generic (i.e. non-Black Company) campaign. I've never read the novels and don't really have any desire to do so, but I'm intrigued by the magic system and the grittiness of...

Having been around and ridden horses when I was merely "halfling-sized" I agree with Elder-Basilisk: halflings can ride horses. It may require the stirrup straps to be hitched up abnormally high or, failing that, the halfling in question may need to keep a firm grip on the pommel, but it is...

I completely agree. Although it's pretty clear I'm underwhelmed by what is left of the starship chapter, the rest of the book is really good. Really, really good. I particularly like the Gadget and Mecha rules. I think that a lot of folks, myself included, have a pet aspect of sci-fi that...

I worry about how interesting (or more precisely, how uninteresting) starship combat will be using D20 Future rules. As it stands, I see no incentive to do anything other than move into range of an enemy ship and fire all my weapons every round until one of us blows up. All ships, even...

Does the additional attack penalty take into account multiple gunners or does it assume only a single gunner? If only a single gunner, do multiple gunners still receive the additional attack penalty? I'm having a hard time reasoning why a strike cruiser, with a crew of 160 able hands, has only...

This link contains a really cool deckplan of Serenity in standard 1 inch = 5 feet scale: http://www.wam.umd.edu/~cadre/ Shiny! -tRR

I admit it: I'm an Alternity freak. Some of the mechanics in Alternity that I'm really keen on are, as the thread title suggests, the ability to achieve one of three success levels on any skill check, the complex skill check resolution, and the stun/wound/mortal hitpoint system. Are there any...

Folks, keep in mind that the Firefly movie is nowhere near being a done deal. All we know at this time is that Joss is working on a script. There has been no green light for the movie as of yet... But I do have all my fingers and toes crossed that we see some reincarnation of Firefly, be it...
