That clinches it. I want a PC class which can force party members to slide across the battlefield and explode them amidst their enemies NOW! :p

House of Traps. Seriously. It's a late Shaw Brothers movie, directed by Chang Cheh and starring the Venoms, so you get some amazing kung fu (especially near the end). The house of traps is constructed by an evil prince and has some sadistic doozies which can be ported to RPGs easily...

This is exactly the kind of stuff which makes me worry about 4e. There's no link between hitting an enemy and improving the group members' ACs. There's no link between hitting an enemy and by hitting them suddenly healing your allies somewhat. At first, 4e seemed to be very close to the kind...

Saw it, bought it. Hope you do really well with it!

Don't know whether this is the ideal forum for this thread, but... I can't help wondering if there isn't a strong market for an RPG which is intended for one player and one DM. And if this were to use the d20 engine (with a maximal compatibility with existing systems), so much the better. But...

I think the 'adventure game'-description is definitely the best. Storytelling game conjures up images of people sitting around a campfire, taking turns to add new parts to a story. Not everyone can do that or wants to do that. The primary reason to play any RPG is to have fun - on that...

Roleplayer, SO-converter AND swing dancer! You, sir, rock.

So on the D&D gets sold-possibility... Mongoose? Who were in talks to get The Holy Grail of Gaming??? Can't get much holier than D&D and all intimately related IPs...

Corporate spin at its least subtle. As a prelude to moneygrabbing at its most 'Boy, wait till you see what's coming! You'll be overjoyed we trashed those two rag... uh, beloved classics of the D&D scene'. Yeah, right. No matter what is coming, there was no reason to stop Dragon and Dungeon. No...

They're using swift actions! NOOOOOOOO....!!!! The other changes are on the whole fairly promising though. I like the approach to defense a lot, something which could be applied to D&D proper straightway.

The recent thread about the complexity of D&D 3.5 at high levels, which is a turn-off for a sizeable number of players and DM's, got me to thinking. How do the other declinations of D20 hold up at high level? More specifically, d20 modern, Star Wars, Spycraft 2.0, Conan, Babylon 5, True20... Are...

No. Hate cats - not a gamer.

This is something which has been on my mind for a long, long time, and yet I never see addressed - so perhaps I'm the only person in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD to be concerned with this. Nevertheless, I think the whole concept of Feats is due for a reappraisal. This is not a finished and perfected...

My line of thinking too. Remove stat bonuses magical items, and you are rid of the 'generic' magical item curse. Every item the PCs find/have made/craft can be a unique item. Thus putting the 'magic' back into magic items!

In this case it's even easily replayable with the same group, as the experience will turn out completely differently each time and every option is worth exploring.

Damn straight. Spectre and Price are GREAT modules, among the best ever for any version of d20 (and probably quite a few other game systems as well). The several different end games make Price inherently replayable. Congratulations on a job very well done.

It's massive, it's Dragonlance, but Cam Banks' third installment of the Age of Mortals campaign, The Price of Courage, is a very good story and provides for 5 severely different end games - and it ends up in the low epic region at the end.

The adventures were almost uniformly excellent, too. Very few straight dungeon crawls, lots of adventure stories and interesting uses of the cultural specifics to put the characters in interesting situations and dilemmas. Probably the best part of the original rulebook is the way it promotes...
