    What version of D&d/d20 do you plan on playing a year from now?

    More or less 3.5. So far the details I've seen aren't any more significant than the usual house rules or some of the ideas in the splatbooks and other d20 supplements. I think the whole "dividing the community" fear will pass overpretty quickly. It's not like society has crumbled since the...

    Alternate Race Ideas

    I've been working on something similar that I've been calling a "background template". Seafaring, Urban, Poverty, Aristocratic, Barbarian, Desert, various racial communities. Probably a choice a feat from a list of two or three, skill bonuses, and some starting equipment.

    Clerics without gods = huh?!

    Metaphysics aside, there's nothing wrong with a cleric's religion focusing on something other than a god, as long as it isn't just a cop-out to avoid roleplaying. Look at some of the eastern religions. If you can find a copy of Aria Roleplaying, there's a great chapter on designing the origins...

    The Elements, Energy types and Aristotle's cosmological system

    Vaguely On-Topic... The scenes from the Lord of the Rings inspired me to associate ether with invisibility. The idea has been bouncing around in my head along with the astral sight and projection rules in Shadowrun. Not sure how I'll use it rule-wise yet.

    ESD Schedule

    Well, ugh. I was hoping since I saw the Mythus stuff, Aria would happen eventually. I don't want to kill my precious copies scanning in the charts and tables, and finding additional copies has been unsuccessful.

    ESD Schedule

    Anyone know where I can find the schedule of upcoming ESD's? I looked around svgames.com, but didn't find anything for the future. I'd almost pay cover price for ESD's of the Aria books.

    When does multiclassing become excessive?

    I was trying avoid that word. Most of the kits were pointless, or poorly done, but the same could be said of prestige classes. I don't see how they are any worse than the multitude of multiclass characters with some contrived background just to get that single level of ranger. I think some...

    When does multiclassing become excessive?

    Excessive? Not by the rules. I think the rules and encourage it, and that's what should my changed. I'd rather see a single "fighter" class, and use something like templates to provide the differences between fighter/ranger/barbarian.

    The Language of Magic

    You could try <a href="http://w3.one.net/~browe/enochian.htm">Enochian</a>, a language "discovered" by John Dee, Queen Elizabeth's court astrologer.

    Buy Dangerous Journeys?

    I liked it, but I'm a Gygax fan. It's certainly not without flaws. It's no more obtuse than the first two editions of AD&D. But it's most definitely not rules light (or even rules medium). Most people get disgusted by character generation. But I've found the game runs really smoothly...

    My review of the Scarred Lands Gazetter: Termana

    Actually, I was just refering to some of Scarred Lands names. I own a couple of the books, and have stacks of other White Wolf stuff. It's all been quality writing, and I love some of the ideas, but the attempt to make everything dark or dangerous is just too cheesy: Inferno, Sweltering...

    [OT] Boston Trip

    I've lived here for two years, and have yet to see anything in same class as the bad parts of Philly, Cincinnati, Detriot, Baltimore, or Chicago. Some things not mentioned: - There are some cool old forts on the harbor islands. It may be too cold, but you can still hit Castle Island (not...

    Shadowrun / Cyberpunk D20?

    Why wait for a release? I've been itched to move the Shadowrun concept into a Necromunda Hive World amd ditch the elves and dwarves for the kiths from Changeling.

    Sidran's Homebrew notes

    Love the Faith rules. Pretty similar to some stuff that's been bouncing around in my head. Do you have written up anywhere outside of these messageboards?
