Re: Re: (Long) Evil vs. Vile vs. Mature - are they the same? The Sigili and Psion, you put it perfectly. The reason I believe D&D can be lame is the immaturity of it's rules as a system for resolving combat and defining chracters, not it's content. Content is and should be depedent upon the...

If their concern is based upon the manner in which the material has been presented (the questionable... but amusing marketing and sealed content), then perhaps their justified. That is it in my opinion. It is the idea that there should be a book detailing this sort of thing. That is silly. If...

Superman would have a strength score of over 1,000. There is nothing in the monster manual that could resist that sort of power short of needing something magical to destroy it or having a specific regeneration ability.

Seriously, I do not need some book to tell me how to run a mature campaign. it has been my opinion pretty much since this who trend to make evil style books began that anyone who needs a book to tell them how to introduce mature concepts into their game is not ready to play in a game where there...

Yeah, because if your in prison, you drop both just before losing your innocence.

I wrote a good bit of material for the DBZ RPG for R. Talsorian, but not much of it got published. If You would like any help on a DBZ D20 conversion, let me know.

Any saiyan elite, the royal saiyans, are able to control their oozaru forms. Vegeta explains this pretty well by his own words. It is the lower class saiyans, like Goku and Raditz that do not control their oozaru forms. Also, you rate the avergae saiyan as having a strength of 27. That is way...

Lame cop out by DC so neither of their cash cows look bad compared to the other.

There is a DBZ game by R. Talsorian using their Instatn Fuzion rules, but it was pretty much unplayable from the first sourcebook, and only got lamer from there. Could such a game be done in D20? Would the system mechanics be able to do it?

When Wolvie is in berserker mode, it would take someone like Champion to beat him.

Wolvie, to my knowledge, seldom uses his true berserker rage anymore. When Wolverine goes all feral and animilastic, he is not using his berserker rage, just his animal like fury. His true berserker rage goes beyond what most people can comprehend. His reaction time in a fight becomes nearly...

1: Captain America Genetically perfect human fighting machine. 2: Wolverine In true berserk mode. Not that angry or beastial fury he has used since the early 90s, but true 80's style berserk mode. 3: Batman 4: Spiderman 5: Daredevil

You can use anything on the SRD, even monsters and spells and their names. It is the gentleman's agreement that if such things are changed after you have used them to make them non-OGL, you change them to make the work OGL compliant.

Well, I definately differ from your opinion. You are going to have to be more specific. I see little similarity between Diablo and 3e, except in the most general sense. Both are mapped based, low imagination hack and slahsh fests aimed toward the vididdie crowd. Player's Option was an...

The 3e D&D rules and game in general is definitely dumbed down in my opinion. It owes much of it's mechanics to the badly done Diablo 2e series and the nearly as badly done Player's Options type books. It stripped what was actually good about Player's Option, the ability to generate a totally...

A player who shows up for D&D and doesn't role play has shown up for the wrong game. A player who shows up for D&D and role plays has the right general idea. A player who goes the extra mile to make the game even more fun and exciting deserves a reward. The first should not be there, the...

So why bother even having a Charisma score if it can all be handled by role-playing? For that matter, why bother with Intelligence or Wisdom? Surely you can role-play someone of any mental faculty, so why do you need a score to define it? Because there are underlying mechanics attached to Int...

There is no logical connection. Hordes of people play sports every day for no cash whatsoever. Children, teens, and yes, even fully grown adults engage in thes activities for the sheer enjoyment of playing the game, with no prospect of financial reward of any kind. Pro athletes are in an...

Good role-playing, however, is an entirely subjective game, and it's only personal opinion what constitutes success versus failure, and levels of success. Is the character who woos an NPC successfully, both garnering the party an ally and increasing his status better or worse than the player who...

Sooooo glad you've arrived, Silverfish! Good way to show your posts are those of an intelligent person who should be taken seriously. I can't believe you're actually trying to make a case by comparing RPGs to professional sports. No logical connection whatsoever. Plenty of logical...
