    How many Forgotten Realms novels are there?

    There's a site with lists by authors and series and sorted by date of publishing and on in-universe timeline.

    Birthright.net - Is it down for good?

    An-n-nd it's back up.

    Multiple KITs

    IIRC, no multiple kits. And it would be a mess. I'd read this as "applicable to all classes" as is. Starting with the assumption that a kit is not specialisation "on top", but the path that mostly can be expressed with this or that class, but with some adjustments. "Regional" kits, yes. As...

    What level do you like your tabletop RPGs to allow you to achieve?

    Other: I don't think myself as existing in a level-based universe and pretending to confuse the players with characters is neither adorable nor gives some sort of "street cred".

    Take Your First Look At The Upcoming ALTERNITY RPG!

    At the first glance: Base: the same extra-dice-stepping, but roll-over (mostly pre-calculated) now. But no "Critical Failure" any more, only 4 results, and often only 3 meaningful results. Attributes: still stuck with renamed D&D stats, except turned Will into more nebulous Focus. Perception...

    Perception with other skills

    It should be an attribute rather than skill, but D&D traditionally sweeps it into some or other corner. Which would resolve this in a trivial way: Awareness (or whatever) skill using Perception to detect and Specific Skill (Perception instead of whatever its default) to identify.

    Math question for roll xD dice and keep highest

    Since those links are not very persistent, here's what you enter into the input field: output 1d6 output [highest 1 of 2d6] output [highest 1 of 3d6] output [highest 1 of 4d6] output [highest 1 of 5d6] Damage rerolls are used in d10 RPG system (Warhammer 40k RPGs) for Tearing weapon property...

    Vault of the Drow and Erelhei-Cinlu

    Or as an example, to get the style right and not miss something obvious in hindsight.

    Old Dragon Magazine article on characteristics of riding like bowl-legged? Trying to create Basic D&D Ethengarian PC

    Looking in Dragondex, there was a Nomad kit in "Completing the Complete Fighter" article by David Howery (Dragon #172). Maybe, that one?

    Good Rogue Prestige Classes?

    Not on the official list. Thus probably Dragon or 3rd party. Or even Pathfinder.

    Experiences with Weapons of Legacy

    The idea is good. It can work, the way Dying Legacy was done in Earthdawn (original, AFAIK), and perhaps expanded. Or if reduced to simple "awakening" events combined with old good "property X is activated if the user has ability Y" requirements - less-MMO version of level scaling. As it was...

    Help me build Urban Fantasy NYC

    Honestly? I want, yet don't expect to see in Urban Fantasy... an interesting and consistent setting. "Kitchen sinks" are only good when you do something interesting with them (which usually requires a "meta origin" like e.g. in Gunnerkrigg). Otherwise they make more of mess than is needed at...

    2nd Edition Weapon Speeds - Anyone Else Miss Them?

    Arghdammit. Accidentally necromanced again. :D Next question: which games use weapon speed other than AD&D1, AD&D2 (in an atavistic way), EQ and Hackmaster?

    2nd Edition Weapon Speeds - Anyone Else Miss Them?

    Not "too", that's the only time Speed Factor could make sense. The problem with Speed Factor is that usually it makes shorter weapons go before longer ones. Derp. Right? It's not inherently nonsensical, however - it's out of context. Common sense tells me Speed Factor would be useful: 1) For...

    Trying to gauge interest in new battlemap-making software

    Er... that would be really strange for this very reason, wouldn't it? There are modules (.vmod) and there are extensions (.vmdx) Maps and map packs can be (and are) made as extensions. Module library. -> Your module (right click) -> (context menu) "Add Extension..." -> select extension file.

    Can I run 2nd edition AD&D content using 1st edition AD&D rules?

    Pre-AD&D2 psionics with pointless HUGE POINTS? It's clunky. It would be easier to just patch telepathy one way or another. That is, it's a prestige class. :D Also, pre-Drizzt rangers don't have that silly two-weapons thing.

    Trying to gauge interest in new battlemap-making software

    It has GM mode and most things either are or can be made adjustable - e.g. stats on the placed pieces (depending on the module - in any specific one it may or may not be so, but that's a problem of this module). GUI? Yeah, clunky. Of course, as most active FLOSS projects, it only improves with...
