So what happens when two wizards stand too close together? Do they start getting shared spell slots that correspond with molecular energy levels :p

While I think dsfriii's goals are laudable, I don't think any information that identifies how a judge voted should be released. It is a thankless job enough as it is - Thanks by the way- without turning the Judges into targets for criticism and pressure. Besides, I don't think there are enough...

I have been running a low armor campaign for the last two years. It also happens to be low magic, so armor classes are absurdly low. As a result, Power Attack has become one of the premiere feats and damage potentials have increased dramatically. In particular, as the DM, I need to be careful...

It makes perfect sense to keep a handful of AP in store for those unforseen events and for a knock-down drag-out fight. But since you can only spend one AP per round, why would you ever need over 10 saved?

Personally, I can't see any tactical advantage in saving those AP points. Why would you ever need 75 action points moldering in the bank? So, my philosophy, as a referee, is to not worry about players saving points. They are just handicapping themselves in the present.

The Dog House Gang was rather confused by this problem when it was pointed out to us on the DHR forums. The PDF file that was sent to RPGmall didn't have this problem. Nor did the other tables in the POD exhibit the same pathology. The folks at RPGmall have been very helpful in pinpointing the...

You might check out Sidewinder: Recoiled for a d20 Modern treatment of a selection of 19th century firearms. Sidewinder: Recoiled is not a Steampulp game or setting (it's a western), but it does possess a chapter that covers historical firearms from the muzzleloader era, through the cap and...

I just thought I would make one clarification. Sidewinder: Recoiled is purely historical. We are saving the alternate history for a future supplement. (Roy Nelson doesn't actually appear in SW:R, which is why he appears in a Snakebite instead of a chapter preview.)

The Dog House Gang is getting mighty tired of Geoff's stew of the week, so come on over. However, I must warn you to bring your own pots and skillets. Geoff's stew starter has sort of taken on a life of its own.

We're glad you are excited about Sidewinder: Recoiled. We are as well. As for having room for a gnome, you may need to wait until the Tommy Knocker rules are released in the Crusty Miner supplement.

Geoff is off on a business trip, so he won't be around for a few days. Therefore, as one of the authors of Sidewinder: Recoiled, I will take a crack at answering your questions. You already guessed the answer. We do want that all-in-one feel. We also wanted you to be able to bring just one...

I am a big fan of the TV show "Peacemakers". Tom Berenger's deputy was a major inspiration for the Professor advanced class. - Brad

There will be special rules for showdowns. But, you will just have to wait and see what those rules actually are :) - Brad

Howdy folks, Let me introduce myself to these forums. Along with Geoff Spakes (who you have already met), Chris Warner, Tom Gregory, and Karl Keesler, I am one of the cowpokes involved in writing Sidewinder: Recoiled . I have included a list of the advanced classes that will appear in...

I have always felt that d20 games modelled getting tired in combat through the loss of hit points. When your hit points are low and you are no longer able to defend yourself as adroitly because of fatigue, that is when your opponent sticks ya. Of course this doesn't help your problem with the...

As one of the fellows working on Sidewinder: Recoiled, I can give you the inside scoop that the ranged threat ability of the Gunslinger is disappearing. It wasn't so much that the ability was too powerful for a 17th level character. The real issue was that a group of gunslingers tended to...

The Dog House Rules gang is presently working on Sidewinder: Recoiled, a d20 Modern adaptation of the original Sidewinder (cinematic wild west genre). It has a release date of Oct 31. http://doghouserules.net
