I've reinforced this. There was another person in the group who was all for this until the above fact was brought up, but he changed his mind. The character in question is Neutral and hails from Karrnath where he fought alongside legions of undead. As such, the character (not the player)...

I'm running my group through a long-promised Eberron campaign that has gone really well so far. I'm running them through a heavily modified Forgotten Forge/Queen With Burning Eyes that leads into Shadows of the Last War. I've increased the intrigue levels by tenfold. I'm pumped. Anyway, one...

1) A hex grid can be used, but is in no way required. The system works equally well on squares, hexes, or with no map at all. The system has easy adjustments for playstyle. 2) It's abstract, but not that abstract. Your army of wizards would most likely be a magical dedicated unit, so it has...

Fields of Blood is a bit less abstract than the Slavelords mass combat, but takes a bit more time to work out. I think both of them are good, but the big problem for me is that FoB system introduces new skills that are used frequently in the combats, so it's hard to just drop it in to an...

Thanks, Wulf. I picked up all of the GT pdfs on RPGnow as I like what I've seen. Can't wait to dig into them. Thanks for the help!

I've tried nearly every mass combat system for d20 and it was only two days ago that I found one that matched my play style...the Slavelords Mass Combat PDF mentioned earlier in this thread. Simple, fast, and easy to use with or without minis/counters, you just can't go wrong. I only wish it...

Wow, thanks Wulf. That basically sorted out all the questions I had!

I picked up the mass combat PDF today and really like what I see. The only problem I encountered was with Magical Dedicated Units. I keep rereading this section and wonder if a paragraph is missing, because I can't quite make heads nor tails of it. Could somebody example me? My poor brain...

Well, I picked up the PDF based on comments here and am pretty impressed. I'll probably combine it with the domain rules from Eden's Fields of Blood at some point. One request though...can someone walk me through an example of a battle with a magical dedicated unit? Every time I read the...

It's not that much. You can buy the PHB and the GMG, which are packed with info and well worth their cost, and then just pick up the Monster Field Manual which has stats for the most popular monsters. I've been in a Hackmaster group playing biweekly for over a year and a half now and we've had...

I picked it up the other day and have been nothing but impressed. I was a playtester early in the process, but my group split up when I moved and we didn't see some of the later versions. The game came a long way from it's early days and, as I said, I'm impressed. My favorite version of D&D...

1 in 15 seems about right to me. Most of my group had subscriptions through the early days of 3E. All of us eventually cancelled because Dragon just wan't offering us anything useful. Same goes with most of the folks I play LG with. A few of us got a few issues when Paizo took over and...

Run: Deadlands (Classic or Savage Worlds): Still the best game and setting out there for my money. I'd run this at every opportunity I had. Savage Worlds: A homebrew Fireflyesque sci-fi game. Angel: The sequel to my Buffy game set in St. Louis in 1999. The game would take place in present...

My Hackmaster GM of two years wrote CoB. It's awesome gaming with the folks who write the books. (and I mean Jeff Knight, not Rob Kuntz) So I'm biased on that one... We did spend 9 months gaming in "Little Keep on the Borderlands." Highly recommended. We didn't even complete half the module.

Last time I checked, high stats alone does not a hero make.

Oh, I learned long ago not to get worked up by things on the internet. Just pointing out some percieved fallacies, no more. And I'm all pumped up for Mark of Heroes...I already joined two of your yahoo groups. Here's hoping for an awesome launch!

While I too am really looking forward to the Living Eberron campaign, why are you slamming Living Greyhawk? The two complaints you mentioned above are completely unfounded and honestly sound like they come from someone who hasn't had much experience with the game. For one thing, LG doesn't...

Once you get things organized, Clan RPG Dot Net will happily accept your challenge. And once you get your clan page set up at Bungie, let us know so we can link to it.

I realize that RPG.net is almost a curse word around here, but I decided to start up a clan over there and got a good response. I've been plying several gaming message boards and generating the same as it's not so much about the forum as the interest in RPGs. The clan is extremely casual and...

Well, when I return to the States from Aussie in a few weeks I'll be running an Eberron campaign using a heavily modified conglomerate of The Forgotten Forge and Queen with the Burning Eyes. It will then continue to follow the published adventures with me inserting side-treks as needed. Also...
