Okay, I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. I did not realize I could go around to the other side of the first pillar. That was the only way to take out those archers, by jumping onto a balcony there and coming around their backside through a building, then kicking over a ramp to get...

I absolutely HATED Planescape prior to playing Torment. Of course, I had little enthusiasm for playing the RPG version even afterward, but at least I understood other people's fascination with the setting for once. The same dude that wrote that wrote Knights of the Old Republic and it shows...

What is a platforming element?

Playing God of War for PS2. Great game, although the designers do a lousy job of telling you where to go next or how to defeat special enemies with stuff other than your normal powers. Anyway, I'm stuck, stuck, stuck and need help before I throw the game in the trash in frustration, LOL. I'm in...

Hmm... Thanks for the rules advice, much better than I got on the Star Wars boards (which was a big zero, just saying there shouldn't be one). Illegality, EWP and high cost would be two balancing factors. Another idea would be if you roll a natural 1 with the whip and fail a DC 15 Reflex save...

:cool: Are there any d20 rules for monofilament whips ala William Gibson style "cyberpunk"? These are whips made of a monofilament material that slices through flesh and armor. It doesn't entangle so much as dissect whatever object it wraps itself around... nasty stuff, perfect for bad guys. I'd...

Who publishes Grim Tales? Links to reviews and game home page?

Aren't you guys going to finish the base? :(

UPDATE: I have revised Table 1-1: Weapon Type to include the possibility of mastercraft weapons being generated. Added Table 1-17: Mastercraft Weapons and Table 1-18: Customized Weapons to support this feature. Now the weapons tables are truly complete. :cool:

The only thing I forgot to include in my tables were mastercraft weapons... Hmm. :\

I used Conan for a grittier D&D game and it was awesome. A Game of Thrones and Thieves' World both look very promising in this regard as well. However, I'm thinking of using Star Wars d20 for a fantasy game: The next D&D or d20 game I run will use VP/WP regardless. In my next fantasy game, I...

Here is a memorable Star Wars starter campaign I created using a free WoTC adventure as the shell. It is most suited for a party with one or two Jedi characters. I've written numerous cut scenes. Everything you need to run it for yourself is there, and there are plenty of ways to branch off or...

Random Weapon Generator Tables are now 100% complete and posted in the link provided in my last post.

Em-4 (sp?) sells sets of pretty good prepainted minis: they have a street gang (3 male and 2 female) and 5 SWAT team members ($20 each). I've been tempted to buy them. You can score tons of zombies (wrong scale for 28mm, too small) with the Zombies!!! board game and zombie digs with the...

Well, since no one has come forward with any help, I've taken it upon myself to cobble together random treasure generators for Star Wars. I'm going all out with d100 crunchy goodness, subtables and everything. You can access the tables here (scroll down)...

I agree: Conan fits fantasy better than D&D. So does Harn. So does A Game of Thrones. So does Thieves' World. So does anything I could come up with in the next five minutes standing on my head. D&D has become a caricature of itself. I'm so sick of half-unicorn/half-red dragon paladin superheroes...

On the contrary, those elements are staples of the ancient/medieval world and worthy additions to add flavor to generic settings like Forgotten Realms. I'm sick of every human being just like every other human in games, personally. What's the difference between a Dalesman and Cormyte? FR doesn't...

Yes, sir. You pimped it last thread I we had this discussion in. ;)

Star Wars d20 is great for space fantasy, with or without the setting. Plus, you really only need one book to run it: the Revised Core Rulebook (a $40 combination Player's Handbook/DMG/Monster Manual). Unfortunately, most of the books except the RCR are out of print now. :(

We had a great Conan campaign when it first came out. We loved the combat/character creation rules/classes but a little disappointed with magic being so weak at low levels. The Conan OGL RPG is great fun, and different enough from D&D to really feel different (more deadly/gritty) while still...
