Look, I'm just saying that in the world TODAY if we want our project X secure it gets its own hardwired network without any internet connection. If you want any files you have to sneakernet it across with an authorized usb stick. Its reasonable to assume that the hacker will have to physically...

Because if someone really wants their information to be secure it wont be hooked up to the NET and neither will the security system that holds that secure data.

Your not off-base, thats why there are 1001 systems that are not D&D out there. Read some reviews find one that works for you and then sell your group on it! D&D became the 800lbs gorilla because people sold their friends on it.

Yes and no, I don't have all the information but basically there were some profit margin problems with the line for both Target and Toys R Us and thus it was shuffled out from under Milton Bradly to WOTC.

WOW! and I complain if we hit 4 rounds!

Does this help? [fact]Hasbro owns Heroscape and D&D minis. The D&D minis line is seen as competition for Heroscape and the D&D minis do not sell as well. D&D minis are currently going onto Heroscape bases and sold as Heroscape minis [end fact] [pretty solid rumor]in a trial period. If its a...

Hasbro owns Heroscape and D&D minis. The D&D minis line is seen as competition for Heroscape and the D&D minis do not sell as well. D&D minis are currently going onto Heroscape bases and sold as Heroscape minis in a trial period. If its a success with the Heroscape people D&D minis will be no...

I like it when there is a metagame reason (like stat bonuses) to have at leased 1/2 the party human. Because I like to play in worlds where 1/2 the people are human and I want the PCs to reflect the world to some extent. I always thought Shadowrun 2e (More Metahumans Option) & 3e did this fairly...

Eclipse Phase RPG.zip

- Combat roles: Explicit in World of Warcraft. Of course, defender = fighting man, controller = magic user, leader = cleric and striker = thief. Note that WoW is based on Diablo, which is based on older rogue-like games and MUDs, which are based on D&D and date back all the way to 1975. Combat...

You might also take a look at Eclipse Phase, if for no other reason than it falls under Creative Commons License. But I think ultimately for what you want you'll have to go with GURPS or another generic system and piecemeal what you want.

At the end of a session I ask my players the following What did you learn? 500xp How well did you roleplay your character? 250-1250xp Did you follow your alignment? 250xp Did you do anything heroic? 500xp Did you include another player? 500xp

I think we will see quicker combats (average 3 rounds rather than 5 rounds) and faster character creation along with going to hexes so its more compatible with Heroscape. They might even revise the rules so Heroscape is D&D light or some variation thereof. What I would like to see is a return of...

Artwork, page layout (ie how much wasted space is there), less grammatical errors (at leased in the books I have read cover to cover), and lastly I don't feel like I HAVE to buy book X. To DM 4e I feel like I have to have PHB1&2, MM1, and DMG1 & 2. Just to even get started. They also to my...

I'll clarify a couple of the 3.X dislikes Concerning The Magic System = The crossbow problem & the not being able to cast magic missile again even though I have 3rd level spell like fireball still ready (cant I just cast 3 magic missiles instead or something?). Also I dislike the memorizing the...

Heres a list of things I dont like about D&D 3.X The Magic System, I hate the whole spells per day thing Confirming Crits Levels/Hit Points But Pathfinder seams soo well done and seams to have soo much love invested into it. The books seam worth the cost (unlike 4e IMHO) and the fact that they...

I have not played it but it sounds like you want Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 3rd edition. :) You might also check out HARP (A simpler Rolemaster) and Desolation (probably not descriptive enough for you)

Desolation is a attribute+skill+gear dice pool (50% chance on any one die being a success) vs opponent or threshold (number of successes needed) Magic each school is a skill, any non-success dice are called burn (damage you take from casting) The world was much like the roman empire till the...

Desolation... Its not d20 but its post-apocalyptic fantasy where spellcasters make up their own spells on the fly. You could modify it into a d20 game pretty easy by just using a d20 and setting some DCs rather than using dicepools with thresholds. The way weapons and armor work would be the...

I'm not a sandbox GM, I do however adlib alot so here is what I normally do. Build NPCs with motivations and plans that will change the PCs world in some significant way. Have the PCs give me backgrounds (if they want) about what there character wants in life. My NPC events happen, Players react...
