    lost control of my spending sphincter yesterday

    Last few days have been bad for spending, since I've been going from store to store to find some good intro to D&D stuff for my young cousin's birthdya, since he's been bugging me about it lately So, I ended up with, for him: D&D Adventure Game 3 Core books Dice For me.... Iron Kingdoms: Full...

    [UA] Armor as DR + Damage Conversion

    It generally depends on what you're fighting - my campaign uses non-standard rules left and right, includeing a Class defence bonus (much smaller than the one in UA, since it's semi-compatable with armor), Gestalt rules, and a 1/4 XP progression. I will say though, that it's made those who are...

    [UA] Armor as DR + Damage Conversion

    I use both together. It seems to work fairly well. One thing, though - make sure that you use the reduced AC value for armor conversion, as other wise, it would get ugly. - AC +#, DR 2/- and converts 3 points off of each hit to non-lethal damage is not too bad, helps the party survive, but just...

    Adventure! D20--anyone got it? Opinions?

    Oh, I know - however, I run many games in many settings, and the feeling of 'pulp action' almost always seems prevalient within them - I like to attempt to enhance this with new rules from various other sources, and would really have liked it if I could have dropped the capactiy for characters...

    Adventure! D20--anyone got it? Opinions?

    Actually, in the origonal they changed quite a bit - like alot of white wolf games, they used 3 semi-diffrent systems to take care of things. The book itself is kinda interesting - I dislike how they basicly attempted to re-do d20 Modern in some ways just so that they could say you don't have...

    Question about Gestalt campaign and racial levels

    Especially when the substandard option is made all the more substandard by the opinions presented. Personally, I try to take the basic progression of the template or LA ridden thing, and pair it up with some apporpriate hit dice - if a template, or an LA race with only one hit die, I use the...

    Honey, I mutated the PCs!

    Darn them College Roomies. I bet they're From Hell.... Uh, anyways, I don't normally see something like this as a problem, but, the thing is, you've got to make sure you do it right - either 1) (I dislike this way of doing things), let them know that there's potential for errr... growth and...

    looking for a different cosmology

    My take on the planes is... remarkably similar to Vrecknidj and AIM-54's - I have the material realm, the Spirit Realm (Abode of most of the gods, and the spirits, since I use an animistic basis, with the gods merely being really, really powerful spirits), the Shadow Realm (Abode of, well...

    Tell me, have you seen the Eberron CSB?

    Going borderline here, between I love it and it's good - I've been sitting on the fence for a while, waitin' to see if it was any good, turns out it was definetly better than good. They did example characters the right way (in the Classes section, anyways - PrC section just had mechanical...

    What are the major RPG systems?

    I'll second (or perhaps thrid) Tri-stat/BESM as a major system - After all, looking at it's growth over the past 5 or so years since it's come into being, the relatively large array of games produced under the label, and the fact that there's a small, but burgoning (close enough to) third party...

    Love of 3.5E

    Ah, a lover of the new edition, I am. Well, 1/2 revision, 1/2 edition to use the offical party line. I used to be annoyed with much of the stuff, but the fact that everything I've seen is of much better quality, and much more useful has pushed me over the edge into true love...

    What Malhavoc Press sourcebook do you use the most in your D&D campaigns?

    CBoEM would be mine, followed quickly by AU, but only because they're very workhorse-like books - I raid bits and pieces from them for my games, and it always seems to work out fine. The books that have had the biggest impact on the game, on the other hand, would have to be Chaositech, Requim...

    Chaositech?

    It's a pretty good book - I'm planning on using this for much of my up-coming plot (actually, since I was going to have a force of pure destruction come along anyways, getting this book this was quite serendpidous for me). In use, it turns out fairly well, but it's not exactly a player oriented...

    Adding to my RPG Library: What next?

    The orional HKAT was awesome! I need to peek at the Tri-stat version, and pick up Heaven and Earth, too. As for other new things, one of my personal favorites has always been the Marvel System - the SAGA version was sub-par, but both Marvel Superheroes and Marvel Universe (the current system)...

    Seconded here.

    (EPH) Ferroplasm??

    Nope - not 3.5. Since it's been left out of the XPsiHB, I think that it'll need some conversion to bring it up to date.

    Fun or a Headache? You tell me!

    Really, I've thought about something like this in the past, but, in the end, I tend to think that just comeing up with a new game system following a sort of 'Simplest Rules Possible' design would be needed in order to have this work - one which didn't account for anything but the actual action...

    D20 or HERO or TriStat: what I have picked

    Oh, I know - it's more of the concept that was interesting than anything - Fuzion is/was cool, but, as a system it was just so-so. Still, the idea that all the other superheroes are dead, now go get'em tiger was a pretty cool premise. Rules can be taken and left, but good ideas are always...

    (EPH) Ferroplasm??

    It's gone - I have NO idea why, too. Luckily, the psionics SRD has it, so all you need to do is go grab a copy. Though, it may have been cut because it was rarely used...
