I have too. I hope you've seen the GURPS treatment of Conan - it's quite good and I'm hoping I won't be disappointed by Mongoose's take. GURPS might be a better system for Conan-type genre unless they do it right. The preview pages look really good, so I'm hopeful.

I only own BotR, Midnight, Hammer and Helm, Scarred Lands: Ghelspad, and Nyambe - I don't buy a lot of products outside the core books. They are all excellent. BotR and Midnight are both deserving of the A+s they are accorded. It intrigues me to see Mutants and Masterminds rated so highly...

I played in a homebrew d20 Middle Earth campaign where 6-8 sessions would go by without a single combat. I enjoyed it, and I think most of the players did. Lots of politics and intrigue, etc. I think you'll find that a substantial minority of rpg'ers have played in games with little to no...

Scarred Lands is the d20 campaign setting I have played in the most and have purchased the most supplements for. I really like the flavor and the powerful character motivations it provides. Just kicking off a Midnight campaign after three months of preparation. Really looking forward to it...

Forgive this question, but I'm separated from my D&D books. If a character has Combat Expertise and goes into, say, -4 to hit, +4 AC mode whilst fighting a few orcs, and then has Attacks of Opportunity against one of his foes, is his opportunity attack at a -4? Same question for a standard...

Those are good points. I should have said that in many campaigns the first character is going to get a lot more use out their items than the second. I think my general point still holds though. I understand that there is a formula that arrives at a figure of 10500 for a rod of Metal and...

Heh. I'm going to be starting a Midnight campaign so I don't have to worry as much about gold piece equivalents in wealth. "You want a bag of SALT!?!" Well, okay, but all you get! But you're going to have to hide it from the Oruk commander while you're chained up in that hole..." :D

It's probably best to simply follow the DMG character wealth table for players creating characters above level 1, but I think it would be cool for DMs to make exceptions for characters that are very narrow in focus and utility. That's something that's always bothered me about the wealth...

They are cool. I thought while reading the series that in a D&D version of the books, the devotees of the old gods would be druids, with clerics being for the 7 gods of the Faith. Let's see now... Mother: Healing, Home, Water Father: Law, Sun, Air Smith: Forge, Fire, Earth Crone: Oracle...

That is always true. I maybe didn't keep at it long enough. Thank you all. I am trying to come up with a homebrew pantheon that is a little different from the standard nine based on the D&D alignment mechanic, and I wanted to know what the 7 were from ASOFAI as reference.

I have tried to google for this, and I'm not finding them all browsing through the books either. Can anyone tell me who the 7 deities of the Faith were? Thanks.

The information on nets in the PHB indicates that they have 5 hit points. The DCs to break out of them or escape from them are relatively difficult, but their hit points are very low. Can a character simply hit the net with their sword for 5 points to escape? If so, why would anyone do...

Haven't seen 30 or 31. More! More!

These look really amazing! I hope that there will be further issues; the amount of work that must have gone in to these boggles the mind.

Thanks. I thought there was a general rule, but I wasn't sure which way it was, or where to find it.

Round up or round down for applying 1.5 times character's Strength bonus? PHB p113 doesn't say, and I'm not aware of a general rule. Thanks.

I am starting up my Midnight campaign soon. One of the players had a character concept that didn't seem to fit any of the available core classes very well. I am relatively new to D&D though I've been roleplaying for 23 years - I'm not crazy about the whole concept of classes to begin with, so I...

Very cool. Lots of good writing even. I've been browsing againsttheshadow for a few weeks now, but haven't found any information on submission guidelines for these Tomes... How does that work?

I will also put in a good word for Bridgetown Hobbies, I've been going there for 23 years. They're good people. Good selection, and they'll give you a call when your stuff comes in. Rainy Day Games in Aloha is also fine, but as far as Portland proper, there's really one one good store and...

What are whimsy cards, drama dice, and taglines?
