    Psionics -- why do people bother?

    Basically, I agree the psionics dones't fit with my idea of swords and sorcery. That said, the current incarnation has a better feel to it than the standard fire and forget spell mechanism for magic. I'm tempted to run with psionics replacing magic - and just calling it , er, magic! Either way...

    Greece and Rome

    OGL Ancients covers Greece and Egypt. Very good in my opinion, though somewhat lacking in background this can be picked up from a variety of other sources. Check out GURPS greece for extra background. Some reviews: http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/10/10232.phtml...

    Gimme some cool druid tactics!

    give 'em a level (or three) of rogue and let their summoned creatures be automatic flanking partners. And don't forget to trample them into mulch with a controlled/allied evil treant! Big tramples are top fun - especially in a corridor.

    Map Folio I - did/will you get it?

    It supprises me that people will pay for stuff like this. I have used a couple of the web based maps for some adventures I have put together, but personally I would not part with hard earned cash for generic maps. Different strokes I guess. Wig

    OGL Ancients, anyone?

    As an aside, I'd recommend GURPS Greece for extra info. It has lots of interesting background stuff that complements the OGL Ancients material well. http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/Greece/ The amount of GURPS specific info is fairly small. NB. There is an good egypt book too...

    Magic Items that grant feats

    Are there any items that grant characters access to a feat, or perhaps use of a feat a number of times per day? I thinking along the lines of training books such as Manual of Quickness of Action, but instead "Bilbo's book of Mighty Cleaving" etc. Alternatively items with feats built in - The...

    monster spreadsheet?

    I once had a spreadsheet where you could search the monsters by environment (amongst other things) e.g. Show me all the stuff that hangs about in deserts etc. Sadly it has gone to the big reformatted drive in the sky. Anyone know what/where this is?

    Putting a PC on 'pause'

    I would just give him a new PC. However, If there was a short term chance of him coming back perhaps you could get someone to carry round a PDA/laptop and he could tap out his messages!

    Updated Old Dungeons and Dragons

    For me, the major selling point I'd look for in any product like this would be to keep it in one book. Basically a D20 rules cyclopedia. If I wanted to play a "simple game" (which sometimes I think I might), a big part of the appeal would be avoiding the hassel of carting a dozen books round...
