Krieg, thank you very much. That answers the Grim-n-Gritty question then. One more question to whomever chooses to answer. Conan. Should I purchase it prior to any of the either three as it was intended to fit a low -magic lowfantasy type game? Or wil the other three books...

Well lacking any specific knowledge of the Grim-n-Gritty system do these games take alternate views of combat that give a greater nod towards realism that standard Dungeons and Dragons? Do any of them use wound points/vitality systems? Do they treat armour as damage...

Actually Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow setting is also another area I had in mind. Washington Irving played uponthe Puritan settler's fears of the forested area around their towns from wich evil was said to come. The Jersey Devil, the Salem witches, and other stories reflect...

I ama sucker for low magic campaigns. I like keeping magic mysterious and hard to cast Withthis in mind I am trying to develop weakned versions of each spell casting class but I have no idea how to balance them (to be honest I do not not much care for balancing low-magic Wizards and...

I am reading the Darklore reviews and i must say it looks almost exactly like the campaign settign I was developing over here: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=76186 So far it is my front runner. Does Excalibur have similar reviews?

Both Darklore and Excalibur look like they might be rightup my alley, Since I have never read any Robert Jordan or who ever wrote "Wheel of Time" I think I shall stay away from it, not to mention its higher cost, although I am glad to know that atleast one WOTC had back is...

I, too, bought the Trinity game while it was under the title of "Aeon" prior to the MTV flap. I never looked at it again. I assume it is still under my bed at my parents house.

I am trying to develop a Low-magic system for a Low fantasy type game. I figured I should first see what already exists and I can steal as I am sure my plans are not balanced at all. First of all, I would like to retain all of the classes, or atleast have similar representatives...

Fleshing out the Rules: Humans gain an Additional Feat every 4 levels above and beyond what is normal (The reason is two fold. In a world without magic you have to be much more self-sufficient. This also limits the desirability of Demi-humans) No Half-Elves or PC half orcs...

In other news i would like to make the Order of Simon into a sort of core class that is wholly unavailable to PCs. Why you ask? Well in my Campaign world, which is Low magic (I have yet to figure out how to incorporate Clerics, but I do know that I want nothing to do with...

"Beware the darker paths, travelers, for they lead to only to damnation and suffering. Stay to the roads and the light, for it is from the ways less traveled, the forgotten paths in shadow-swept hinterlands, where twisted devil-spawn do feast. Each night their foul breath...

Would a certain Simpson's episode be based upon "The Prisoner"? Orwell has been on my list for months, i suppose it is time to pick up the pace. Strange that guy who has a degree in Poli-Sci has never read either "1984" nor "Animal Farm", of course i have been plying D&D for...

"Many years ago a wizened man stumbled out of the hinterland of Bagesh and into Salister, the Reaching City. Half mad the bent man cried out before Salister's mighty gates demanding that the lord, Aphixtus, open his city to him or suffer the wrath of the one true God...

Sarcasm? No. sorry if it seemed like it. it was actually me kicking myself for not recalling the simple facts of life.

Dirigible, perhaps this escaped notice; [COLOR=DarkOrange]"Though each city is surrounded by tilled fertile ground, lush orchards, and green pastures that, to the naked eye, look pleasant enough the ctizens rarely tary outside the cloister of the lord's ramparts. Stories abound about the...

Redwing, I own the book but I have never really paid enough attention to the rules to be much help in that department. Think "Prisoner of Zenda" or "Chitty Chitty Bang-Bang" with faery folk and pterodactyl-like dragons. They use a card method rather than dicing for actions. It...

I have never seen "The Prisoner" (I once saw the cover of the graphic novel though) but I have read Kafka so that is another one of those subconscious ideas that congealed to create this setting. Should I watch "The Prisoner"? I also recall some terrible "B" movie fromthe 1970s...

"Dark cities of grey stone and iron dot the wilderness in a time of uncertainty and widespread fear. Ruled by ruthless lords and shadowy councils, and guided by a slowly dying religion the citizens of these cities live a claustrophobic existance. Despite the terrible living...

Original Call of Cthulhu series are the definitive Roleplaying sourcebooks for the time period (though it is off by ten years). Other good sources are Gurps: Cliffhangers, their Pulp genre book and ICE's Rolemaster: Pulp Adventures. I heartily recomend Gurps as it has allof the...
