Bwuhhh? Dr. Fate pretty much has Wish as a quickened SU ability usable at will. Superman's initiative bonus would be in the low 1000's, with approximately equal bonuses to spot and listen. Nobody could take him down with something as simple as a surprise round or quickened spell.

One more room won't hurt. Oops. They are all doomed; I'm smiling. I came, I saw, I retreated. Toward the darkness, four heroes rode. This door is harmless. See, I...

Sure glad there are some ideas floating to power up a high-level wizard. Man, they were just getting the short end of the stick! Completely outclassed by those awesome, Über-überfighters, with their unlimited means of attacking for 16 damage, and always so close up in their opponents' faces...

Jinns. For enJINNeered.

OK, this should just be way, way more prominently recommended. Powell's is more than a bookstore. It's a life-changing experience. If you ever walked in somewhere for the first time and just said to yourself, I'm home, you might just understand what it's like to walk into Powell's. I'm a bit of...

Powers and Perils World of Synnibarr Murphy's World and Bob, Lord of Evil Fantasy Wargaming (with combat stats for God/Jehovah/Yahweh!) Eh, that's about all the obscure ones I have.

Right here.

I guess that the way I see it, if a person is serious about wanting to do evil, even if he's outwardly held in check by fear of punishment, he's probably going to find some way to indulge those evil impulses. When he thinks nobody is watching, or he can get away with it, he'll do it. If he...

If a person was constantly having evil thoughts and desiring to do evil, I think it would come out in minor, almost inconsequential acts, but acts nonetheless. A hermit might get his pleasure from tormenting animals, misdirecting travelers into danger, despoiling a watering hole used by locals...

Try flipping that around. If you had a player whose character never did anything evil, never committed a crime, and wasn't hostile, would you consider the PC evil? In my view, even the loftiest paladin has evil thoughts occasionally; heck, even Celestials have evil thoughts. It's the...

Pick any representative and recognizable name the group ever identified with; register the name as a web site; set up chat rooms, message boards, photo sharing areas, ways to keep in contact. Maintain the site for at least a few years. That's a gift that the whole group will appreciate. Make it...

Try this. Tiles and large stuff on top, drawers for dice, minis, pencils, whatever else.

In D&D, my battle cry is "For Justice and my Lord!" In real life, my battle cry is "No, it's not going to be ready by lunchtime. Do you know how many viruses you have on here?" In D&D, I'll travel to the ends of the world to right a wrong. In real life, I order out for pizza if it's raining...

Just replace resurrection with reincarnation, but let the reincarnated character's player pick the race and class. Same effect as bringing in a new character, but the psyche and memories carry over, along with the campaign history.

Hard for me to think of anything that matters less to me. Number of skill points, attack bonuses, hit points, whatever. If it's about in the ballpark for what I want in my game, it's good enough. I'll probably make a few changes, anyways. Far as I'm concerned, Rule 0 is just as useful for...

If you do go with Battletech, and decide to really get into creating custom 'mechs, I can't recommend highly enough a program called HeavyMetal Pro, by a guy named Rick Raisley. If there was a d20 character generator half as complete and accessible, it would be indispensable...

I hope it is. I'd laugh my tail off if I see this thread some time in 2008 with a single post added that says, "I think it's a bad idea."

Hey, are they still around? I haven't seen that place since 1990. It's good to know that at least one good game store is hanging in there. I don't think I ever ran across a store that had a quarter of their selection.

A single index, but of the format so that you would have entries such as: Arthur, King of Britons -- See People, Arthur Avalon-- See Places, Avalon King of Britons (Arthur)-- See People, Arthur People-- Arthur, King of Britons-- 32, 76-84, 192 Tim-- 212 Waldo the Wanderer-- 216...

"You know, most of my life, I've worked hard to not be like you. It's not easy. Every day, the temptation to just give in, take the easy way out, and grind filth like you into the ground underneath my feet, it just gnaws at my mind. It'd be so easy, too, and Gods know, the world would be a...
