I'm working on a campaign where the only PC races are Human, Dwarven, and Taurian (No other humanoid races exist except the Drakkon, the Dragon Men). Taurians will basically be a Chaotic Good Minotaur race. The DMG set up for Minotaur characters indicates that an starting Minotaur character...

Thanks for all the responses. I have Nyambe, by the way, and it's really good. I'll probably look at all the sources mentioned and cobble something together that is a combination.

I'm designing a campaign where the premise is that most humanoid races have been driven to extinction by a race of "Dragon Men" (Drakon). A human remnant live in a semi-barbaric state in cold, northern regions of the main continent, where the Drakon do not like to venture. I don't own many d20...

I almost always play humans. It feels as though there is much more freedom in developing your character. I find it difficult enough getting into the head of a character of a different socio-economic background, from a low-tech era, without trying to play an entirely different species. If I...

I had problems with my "Matthew Gagan"account, reregistered as "mgagan," then recovered my normal account. mgagan and I are one and the same. Mark me down as a player, and I want dibs on any Scarred Lands game. Unless someone is running something high-level - I've never had a character above...

I'm there, especially if there's a Scarred Lands game. I could show you those comic books from our group's campaign that I e-mailed you about. Any weekend other than March 8-9 is good for me...

I am in Portland. What would this entail?

This thread is as good as any to express my appreciation of Metagaming's Microquests like Death Test, Grail Quest, and Treasure of the Silver Dragon. I became acquainted with roleplaying in 1979 at age 11 with Metagaming's Melee and Wizard Microgames. At first, no one I knew played roleplaying...

That would be a lot of books to list. I'll a couple favorites in several genres: Microserfs, Coupland (Fiction) A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Eggers (Fiction) A Theory of Everything, Wilber (Philosophy) The Aristos, Fowles (Philosophy) Declarations of Independence, Zinn...

I think anyone who is playing standard D&D, by the rules, should have voted "high magic," but this wasn't detailed by the poll question.

Hit 'ENTER' before the meat of my query.... I'm wondering if there are any real-life castles situated as Riverrun is from Martin's novel, with a 'moat as needed.' I'm guessing there are, but I don't know much about castles or military history. I'm working on a campaign, and I think it would...

Warning: Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin spoiler below. ********** "You have never seen Riverrun, Ser Harys, or you would know that Jaime had little choice in the matter. The castle is situated at the end of the point of land where the Tumblestone flows into the Red Fork of the Trident...

Started with Metagaming's Melee and Wizard, along with the associated solo modules in 1979 when I was 11. I didn't have friends who roleplayed at first, but I could take a character through the Death Test, Death Test 2, Grail Quest, etc Microquests, solo, over and over again. Melee and Wizard...

Re: Re: [OT] Greg Costikyan's blog I know him from Paranoia (RPG) and from Pax Britannica (boardgame) - great essay in that game on colonialism...

It'll likely be the first Dragon magazine I put money down for if they do a decent job. Doesn't seem suited to D&D at all though. SoIaF is lower magic than even Harn by a long shot - it's basically England. Not expecting much - I haven't thought much of Dragon the few times I've paged through it.

What's up with most of y'alls groups? I don't think it would even occur to anyone in any of our group to cheat. Our DM usually can't see what any of us roll, but everyone rolls '1s' and '2' in critical situations regularly, and announces it with a grimace. I've got a rogue with a 20 Dex and...

The original Space 1889 book published by GDW. The *interior* art for Cyber Space published by I.C.E. Cyberpunk 2020 published by R.Talsorian Games. Castle Falkenstein (hardcover) published by R.Talsorian Games.

I think I prefer a larger range to a larger multiplier for this simple reason that I didn't see above (skimming through). Larger multiplier will be a total waste more often, whereas a larger range is more consistantly useful. What's the benefit in doing 30+ damage to a goblin?

Caverns of Thracia. No doubt.

Thanks for all the responses. I wish there was more information about Kelder Mountain tribes - that's where my character will probably end up being from. I've got an Albadian sorceress character on deck, so I think I'll just end up waiting for the Fighter/Barbarian supplement next year and...
