Well, my partner knows what it is, doesn't understand the attraction, but is cool with it. He'll even ask how a session went, and listen attentively while I gush about it. It doesn't make any difference if I explain what things mean (monsters etc) or not. I think it is very sweet that he will...

I'm looking to set up something in a 'crusader states' kind of setting, and I'm hoping the great folks at ENworld can suggest some game sources to look at for rules changes, classes, spells, monsters, or background material ... all the usual stuff :) I say 'states' rather than Crusades because...

Well, I voted 'hell no'! But that is as part of an established campaign. If it was a one-shot and I got to do up a couple of new characters for it, I would be all for it! Maybe then we could have a campaign with anyone who survived... that might be a fun start to a high level game actually.

Well, I haven't seen this module. But given the reputation it apparantly has, I'm sad to see so many people calling the guy a wuss and so on. Perhaps he's not one of these players whose joy is to 'beat the module'. Maybe he doesn't play for the tactical challenge and think that characters are...

Hi there Sarajaine, I really don't think the size of the industry makes much difference. I've never encountered any anti-girl bias here in Australia, and our gaming sector isn't exactly huge. Of course I did not play until Uni, so perhaps that has something to do with it (school groups might...

Multiple choices? oops. Really just an exercise, although one day I'd like to run a game there. Quasi-East Asian, but with some pulp Polynesian-flavoured bits to the south. Couldn't resist the ex-aquatic orcs and the volcano goddess - in fact she's the only 'goddess' in the world, with the...

Mmm, that is a good point which I had not considered. It does assume a 'code of duty' that I didn't notice any evidence for in the film, which conflicts with the only 'code'-like thing he does, indirectly, refer to (divine judgement). If true, it's is an interesting place to be at in alignment...

Hi Amal No, the fact that he breaks 'laws' is not the point to me at all. I thought I'd better mention it though because in other alignment threads, respect for society's laws has been pointed out as important to lawful behaviour. I think we can both agree that the police corruption makes that...

You know, it really suprises me how many people think this character is good or doing good deeds. It is a revenge story. He wakes up to find the girl dead and decides to kill everyone involved. While justifiable and understandable I don't really see how this is good. His motivation is just...

Geez Nisarg, what's your problem? I haven't noticed anyone saying "and because there are these similarlites between RM and D&D, RM must be better, come and play it!" There are some elements where 3.x seems very similar to RM. Perhaps this is due to mutual influence from another game...

If they always have to behave in a good and heroic way - which you seem to define to a very high standard if pragmatism in killing 'soldiers of the evil empire' in what seems very like a no win situation is not allowable - how does the game 'address moral dilemmas'? I appreciate that the game...

Could clerics deal with genetic problems at all? Wouldn't they, at least some of the really serious ones, be like being born with a natural dex of 1 (0?), or having a very short maximum age - things that clerical magic can't help with? Of course it all depends on what the gods are willing to...

Interesting. A few posts now have referred to finding the little girl. But if I remember correctly, she was believed to be dead until right at the end? And his hunt was to kill all those responsible? Does that make a difference, alignment-wise?

Chaotic neutral. My impression from the film was that he will do anything to recover the girl because of his personal feelings for her. He did not act on any of the other kidnappings of innocents etc earlier in the movie, so he is not acting on some moral principle. He is certainly acting...

I did read Dr Awkward's post before sending - I think that was what prompted me to ask, after already being confused about the thread. "That's what they've always heard"? "think that running around with knives and swords is playing D&D"? That's so far from my limted and foreign experience I just...

I'm a bit confused here. To me it sounds like the journalist may have not asked the right question to get the possible connection the DA was thinking of, thus making the DA sound like an idiot, or on the other hand the DA actually is an idiot and the journalist faithfully reported his comments...

I think I can see where Nisarg is coming from - thwarted expectations. IIRC though the quote "combines traditional medieval fantasy with pulp action and dark adventure" was pretty much how this was tagged ever since the shortlisting. I think I remember Dragon talking about inspirational movies...

Well. d6, but if I act on impulse rather than realistically, I too could be d8. Better come up with some biting lines!

No - until now. Thanks!

No, but I too would be keen to hear from anyone who has, or can point to source material! The earlier edition Maztica setting was along these lines, wasn't it?
