Well, the German NPCs are fairly mystically themed, but they're still pretty super-y and probably not suitable for an Indy-style game. I'd actually say that the Fantasci supplement that we did a couple months ago would be the resource you want for a game like that. Though it's based on the JRPG...

Just a quick rundown on what's coming from RPGO: 1. Supers20 is in layout and the first round of edits have been made to the final. 2. Chris and I recorded a podcast where we discussed future plans (including talk of future fantasy stuff from us), and a Supers20 specific podcast where we go...

Here's the thing people are missing, and what makes d20 Modern so much more awesome than alternity: The fate of d20 Modern is in our hands. I love Alternity and WISH DEARLY that I could support it. Since no one but Wizards can, its fate really is "sealed". On the other hand, d20 Modern's...

Getting rid of the magic system was one of the best, and one of the gutsiest decisions they made in 4e. Im glad they finally cut that cord. Designers have been trying to balance mages with the other classes for 30 years now. Someone working on the game finally had the guts to say it was...

Well, when I say emulate, I don't mean that I expect an addition of D&D to serve as a replacement for a Conan OGL game. What I'm saying is that the mechanics CAN evoke that feel. For example, you could easily create an adventure that would feel like the fight with the cave troll/escape from...

Sorry, but no. Rolemaster did NOT have a RE Howard Sword and Sorcery feel, at least to me. And yes, the ability to emulate either Tolkien or Conan is THE most important "feel" element of D&D to me.

1. Archetypal fantasy/sword and sorcery character classes 2. Levels 3. Abstract hit points 4. A tone and feel almost perfectly between Tolkien and RE Howard

Chuck's First Law of Freelancing: Never write a second book until you've been paid for the first. I've not gotten paid twice, by the same company. I don't regret writing the FIRST book for them nearly as much as I do the SECOND.

The classes do offer this, and I was a fan of that aspect of the system. However, I think you can get the same flexibility by having easy, free-form optional multi-classing (not required, used to make a specific character), combined with occupations you can change over time. Having run Modern20...

Well first, here's hoping you liked all those products of mine! As regards to classes, both in my home GMing and my work, the preponderance of multi-classing, indeed, the REQUIREMENT of multi-classing, was my big issue with the Basic/Advanced/PrC set-up. Even low level NPCs needed to be...

The class system has become my biggest issue with d20 Modern over time.

GI Joe is decidedly an American thing. Which is why the movie, coming soon, will be about an international team. :-S

Here's the solution: The Wizards guys schedule a 12 hour meeting with the Hasbro guys, and all they do is write DUDE GI JOE! in huge letters on a white board again and again until they break their will.

Right, I know Hasbro is weird about their IPs, but a GI Joe game? If they greenlight a Star Wars game, surely SOMEONE has the juice to make GI Joe happen.

See, I never understood the Urban Arcana setting, because Wizards has the resources to blow the door off way bigger than that. I mean, Hasbro owns GI Joe for heaven's sake. HOW HAS THIS GAME NOT ALREADY BEEN MADE?!?!?!?

Right, but xeroxing a book to give to someone else is not "personal use". I think copying PDFs onto someone else's computer crosses the line, whether you ask them to delete it or not.

Whoa. Cool.

Hey there Kheti! I have a few Adamant products, and have liked the ones I have.

I'm a fan of doing that myself. There's been a couple of small PDFs on the topic, I think by Adamant?
