    New Star Wars RPG!

    This "more miniatures friendly" thing makes me a little bit nervous - the old passionate pen-and-paperist that I am. :D But, always look on the bright side of things: Star Wars d20 RPG gets revived. Although I really do not believe that the Saga-edition is going to be more fun than the...

    True20 and d20 Modern: compatible?

    Thanks, Ilium, you put it much better than I did. I played D&D up to 10th or 11th level, and levelling up became increasingly more rare, because of the really challenging encounters doing the same ... :D

    Attack of Opportunity -- does it deserve to survive to v.4?

    Like somebody already said in this thread: keep AOO, but scrap the whole idea of a 4th edition ... ;)

    Mongoose & Runequest

    Well, I once played RQ3 and will never go back from d20 to a d100 engine. If Mongoose scraps the Conan OGL game - one of the best and most beautiful games on the market - they have one customer less.

    True20 and d20 Modern: compatible?

    On planning a modern/sci-fi campaign, I'm considerung using the True20 rules set, with d20Modern/Future feats and class features freely put into the feat slots of the True20 roles. Has anybody already tried out a similar use of True20 as a portal for using the odds and ends of another d20 game...

    What Non-D20 Products are you looking forward to?

    How strange. Got my copy in Germany 10 days ago ... What's this Steve-Kenson-Supplement about?

    Arthaus reverts rights to Ravenloft and Gamma World back to Wotc

    I have long since given up on d20 gaming and started Storytelling system gaming, but I did not do so because of the game systems (the World of Darkness setting is what lured me) - I still like the d20 system, and so I feel the need to give my personal comment about the end of Ravenloft and Gamma...

    Dungeon Magazine #113 Is In

    But no complete overview of the lightning railways? So that you would see for the first time on one glance how the lines connect across national borders? :(

    Keith Baker (creator of Eberron) Q & A thread

    Concerning XPH-Races: as much as I like them, I won't use them in my Eberron games, because I feel that Eberron ist the Kalashtars' and the Inspireds' playground as far as psionics go. Just my two cents ...

    Eberron: Buying?

    I have the book since last Friday. I can really recommend giving this setting a try! It rocks.

    Concerning Action Points above 8th level: ECS p. 45: "... apply the highest result and disregard the other rolls."

    A Guy in Finland has Eberron and...

    I like Eberron - or should I say: I LOVE it! The postwoman brought the book today, and I'm busy reading ... On the other hand, I feel quite compelled to tell others what a wonderful book this is - beautifully designed, and the setting itself is pure Sense of Wonder ...

    CONAN: Campaign ideas + locations

    My campaign preference would be a start in Zamora, and then perhaps, following some sorcerous plots, down to Stygia, or through Turan and Hyrkania to Khitai. Or ... or ... This world is so awesome big!

    Conan The RPG: Impressions + Ideas & GM Support

    [ After reading Iron Chef's points of criticism and MongoosePaul's answers on the Mongoose Forum I ordered the Conan RPG. Heck, I'm a collector of anything Conan and Howard! One mistake on the map, though, downloadable from Mongoose's website - as Zamora's capital, Arenjun should be in Zamora...

    [AU] Arcana Unearthed Questions

    Re: Re: Re: [AU] Arcana Unearthed Questions I seem to be a bit late in this thread, but I simply have to say something to the statement above: The "8-hour-recharge" and the spell slots per day are the main reason why I personally prefer EverQuest RPG over both 3.5 and AU. This sounds perhaps...

    2nd printing of 3.5.

    Re: Re: 2nd printing of 3.5. Don't be so sure that second printings are per se superior, error-wise. The Star Wars RCRB's second printing, for example, simply und myteriously lost all starship weapon's ranges ...

    3.5 review in German

    For German EN Worlders: There is a three part review of 3.5 under http://www.nct.de/ruland/ - written by a convert, highly critical of 3.5 beforehand, adamant supporter after actually reading the books - blush! :D

    RPGs in D20 Modern background

    Haven't yet read Urban Arcana completely, but how are player characters going to react to the fact that everything is true that they have learned from their own D&D games? Are the game world versions of Mr. Gygax and Mr. Arneson shadowkind (no offense intended!), or are they characters with a...

    Your experiences with d20 Modern?

    1) I'm GMing a D20M campaign. 2) The players are participating enthusiastically; I like this group very much. a) Because - well, we all have a thorough picture of THIS "game world" and an awful lot of examples for character play (mostly from TV and cinema). And especially the Wealth-Rules work...

    M&M - Anime adaptation

    I have my M&M-copy! It looks gorgeous, and I immediately started to check for ways to make up X-manga characters. And lo and behold, the Alternate Form as a being of energy is there, complete with Energy Blast attacks, Flight and what not! A closer look will perhaps show the awesome...
