    Writing for Gamma World 4E - questions

    Is there a Gamma World SRD? I think section 9.1 prevents you referring to WotC published mechanics, such as character origins and mutations, that are not in the SRD. If you can refer to mutations at all, additional mutations should be OK. You may not redefine 4e References (section 4.1) so it...

    Pathfinder 1E (5 Stone Games) Pathfinder Playtest and Freebie

    It's a good idea. Would it be worth adding class-specific loads? A couple of small things: Waterproof bags and sacks - which do you want? Before plastics, no sack is waterproof and a waterproof bag is most likely multiple-stitched oilskin, not light or cheap (it should cost more than the...

    The cover suggests some interesting influences. I'd be glad to take a look at it. edit: I'd suggest you could charge some low price for an introductory sort of release. What adventures and supplements are you working on?

    What monsters are protected by trademark?

    Very few monster names are or could be protected as trademarks, which could cause problems for you using the name at all. Don't copy monsters from anyone else's products unless you include them as Open Game Content (that means you have a copy of the source and it declares what you have used as...

    Issues with Social Skills: Bluff, Diplomacy, Intimidate

    If the PCs fail a check, an NPC can always choose to act according to his own common sense and interests. "What a bunch of clowns. I doubt they know their butt from a hole in the ground. However, what they say seems to match what I know, and I can see they have guns. I'll go along with them...

    Why DON'T people like guns in D&D?

    They pretty much negate the ideas of armour, elves, wizards, orcs, 5000-year-long histories where the first kingdom has much the same structure as the latest .. edit: Either I accept the idea of technological progress and along with it accept that most of the D&D universe makes no sense, or I'll...

    Raise Dead in your 4e Game

    Pieces removed before death are not "a part of the corpse", so that unambiguously won't work. For severed and missing parts, it depends whether the GM thinks that is a temporary or permanent condition for purposes of the ritual. A severed but present head should be OK, since the ritual heals...

    D&D 4E Help me improve my sci-fi homebrew 4e rules

    My first impression is that the few power-equivalent abilities you've kept give a lot of attention to hand-to-hand combat, maybe at the expense of other actions important to SF adventuring. You mention Aliens and Halo but I'm not sure it describes those sorts of characters well. It almost reads...

    Converting Experience Points to a New System

    I'd need more information to make any meaningful conversion between systems. Many systems, if they're far enough removed from D&D to be worth discussing, use other character advancement procedures than experience points anyway - I don't mean in name, I mean they're not even vaguely similar...

    The COPYRIGHT NOTICE (capitals in the original) is Section 15 of the licence. You must include the entire s.15 notice from the source that first published the content, unless the publisher of that source is kind enough to write a subset of their notice for you that only applies to what you used...

    4E Classes You Like

    Good idea. I think the difference in outcomes so far is quite instructive (and not because all of the results agree with my own preference).
