It would be so much better if someone with a little pull managed to get a .mil suffix for it. :)

I wouldn't think it would be. The skills systems wouldn't mesh too well, but I think most of the rest of it would. You'd have to pick one skill set or the other. I'd go with Pathfinder, but I *am* biased. :p Iron Heroes is more powerful then standard 3e, in general, but I don't think it...

I'll have to find my Dragon Magazine archive and see if it actually works on my current laptop. I know it was a very old Dragon. The first one I actually bought new was #72 and I know it was an older back issue I bought. I believe it was pre-AD&D, but I'm not sure about that. I've still got...

I was wondering that, too. I still say registered user. I've poked around, but haven't found anything to click to make it show Community Supporter. Probably something obvious, knowing me. :p

As Eldritch Lord noted, I'm not arguing that medieval Europe is simplistic. I'm arguing that it isn't D&D. You have knights, but they don't act as a vassal to a king in any of the standard settings. They don't have a fief and they don't lord over serfs. Yes, that's not all there was to the...

Will do. :) I have to admit that is persuasive. I'll take a deeper look at your stuff. It's beyond the scope of what I'm looking for at the moment, but who knows? :)

Looks pretty cool. I don't use miniatures, but those maps should come in handy, any way.

First, I get out my copy of the 2e World Builder's Guidebook by Richard Baker. Yes, 2e. :p It never fails to get my ideas flowing. Second, I think about what I want. I want the PCs to be able to move between lots of different areas and do lots of different adventures easily. I'm kinda...

All right, you've managed to persuade me. :) I must admit that the "using the existing rules" part won me over after a day's contemplation and reading this new post. I'd probably tinker with it to make it less simple -- this IS D&D, and who wants simple D&D rules? :p -- but your logic is...

Because it is oh so VERY easy to take your anger out on the faceless denizens of the internet. 90% of a message board's population lurks and never posts. If you're moved to post, you're likely to be more passionate in your opinions than the average person, so it stands to reason that many...

[grumpy old man]The Forgotten Realms lost a lot going from the Dragon Magazine article to the grey boxed set.[/grumpy old man] Seriously, the pantheon he had in the ancient Dragon magazine articles kicked the ass of the published one. :) I was always a Greyhawk fan, though. And I never...

Doesn't solve anything -- you still need rules for what those DCs are. I'll admit that it means not adding another subsystem, but it doesn't remove the need for work to be done. Unless you want to handwave the DCs, which I don't, and is why I posted this thread in the first place.

That makes sense. Thanks again. Good point. Pathfinder has Turn Undead as a feat; it could open up morale attacks on undead. I'll have to take a look at that again. My party's cleric doesn't have it so I don't remember exactly how it works. Could you clarify this? I really don't...

Ah! Okay. I remember that now. That's easy enough to port over to Pathfinder. :) So, outside of this morale system, what effects does it have in 4e? What is "bloodied" under the base rules?

Hmm. Not perfect for my needs, but I could run with that. What exactly is "bloodied?" I don't have the 4e books.

Some enemies will fight to the death. The horde of zombies will keep coming until the PCs have defeated it; the construct guarding the crypt will not stop until it is a pile of rubble. Some enemies will run at the drop of a hat. The goblins WILL skitter off as soon as they hear the Balrog...

My experiences are, of course, not universal, but you're the first person I can remember who actually likes 3e sorcerers. For me, they couldn't do anything that a specialist wizard couldn't do better -- and one character level quicker. Not so with Pathfinder sorcerers. I'd still gripe about...

You've already gotten plenty of advice on how to run with things like this, so I won't belabor that point. I would note, however, that you shouldn't think of the high-level ritual as a reward for the players, be it 10th or 24th level. It's a one-shot item used in the course of the adventure...

If you want creepy, try Fantomas. YouTube - ‪FANTOMAS-CAPE FEAR‬‏ There are vocals, sort of. Mostly just screams. Usually very creepy screams. Which should fit the bill quite nicely!

Hey! First day back and I've already added someone to my Ignore list. Cool, man. :cool: Okay. For the last 6 or 7 years, I've been playing Exalted. We started with 1e and switched to 2e for our current campaign. I can NOT imagine anyone saying 1e is better. ~shudder~ 2e still has some...
