Larry contacted HQ and made a sit rep. "..We're not set up for a proper interrogation here, but unless you guys come pick him up soon, I'm afraid he's not going to make it. We're covering the Senator, but I can only stall her sop long before she starts asking too many questions. And I'd hate...

"There really is no rest for the wicked," whispered Larry. "Blade, make sure they stay in the safe room until we're sure that is the last one." He realized Meri had already spoken out a couple of the names out loud, but he would at least try to keep their names secret. Truth be told, they...

Larry shuffles on with Meredith. He was in no shape for a gunfight, and would probably be more a liability than an aid.

Larry winced as he was helped to his feet. "That's gonna leave a mark. Thanks Doc, Z." Using Z as a crutch, the con man advanced towards the senator, and stares her down. "Ma'am, all you need to know right now is that someone wanted you dead, and we stopped him. For now. So what do you say we...

Larry reeled backwards, the injuries having bled him badly. With a moan, he collapses unconscious, the last though in his mind that at least he wouldn't die in that literal hellhole. 9+7+4+4=24--->-1 hp

OK, the spread for True20 is larger than 4E, but much lower than 3.5E because: 1) No synergy bonuses 2) Magic items emulate feats, so no stacking 3) No infinite amount of bonuses (insight, morale, whatever) 4) More skill points per level, meaning a better chance at having a trained skill 5) A...

Very nice. if it's cool, I think I'll use it for my True20/Pathfinder hybrid :D

Well, Expertise is the chance for Expert's to shine. A +4 to a skill for a whole skill challenge is a great equalizer. Conviction rerolls are more powerful than the going for Bold Recovery mechanic, given the way it works (d20+mod v/s d10+10+mod). That will give better chances at successes...

First of all: awesome system! Thank you very much for it. The second: How decoupled is the level/difficulty table from the Successes table. The reason I ask is because I don't play 4E, I play True20, and if the tables are independent from each other, I could simply develop a DC table for...

Blood seeping out of his chest, the young man stepped back, staring incredoulosuly at the crimson stain sperading. with a look of fury, he looked at the Demon and said. "Good night!" The air begins crackling around Larry, his eyes focused solely on his target. Suddenly a wooshing sound slammed...

You sure about that? I've been doing exactly this with pathfinder's Rise of the Runelords. At the end of each book, I arbitrarily say X years have passed, what have you been doing with your time? It hasn't caused any problems for me. Between Chapters 1 and 2 I had the Pcs attend Aldern's...

"We can hurt it! Quick, hit it with all we've got." Larry hoped he could keep the beast stunned, hoping against hope that they would be quick enough and strong enough to bring it down. Cool it worked! Nor let's hope for a repeat!

: I'm always in :D BTW, I want to spend an AP increasing my Initiative count to go ahead of Demon boy. Then I'll use a Daze power on him, and start an aim action for the enxt round with my move action. EDIT: there doesn't seem to be an aim action in Modern? I've got way too many systems on my...

"Well, look what we have here. Another victim of Matrix fashion. Don't you know black trench coats are so last season?" The gun in his hand steadily aimed at the demon's head, while the con-man nonchalantly continued his spiel. "Now, do you really think we'd let you bring us here if we didn't...

"We aren't in Kansas anymore." The con-man removed the clip of his gun and replaced it with blessed ammo. "I guess now we kill whatever it is?" Turning to the Secret Service agent, he adds. "Try to keep yourself between whatever comes and her. You might slow it down."

This is exactly how I handle things in Mystery adventures. Using a skill or ability gives a degree of success. A very simple solution is to have the degree of success determine how long something takes. i.e. you will follow the tracks, but it'll take you 4 hours instead of the 2 it should have...

"Blade, it's right outside the door, with your shield. Behind the bushes."

"Joker, I'll stick with the Senator and Kevin Costner. I think we should all mosey out of here ASAP and find a good place to hole up." He looked at the senator and shruged. "Ma'am, we're going to keep you safe whether you help us or not. But believe me, it'll be better for all involved if you...

The con man turned a cold stare to the SS agent and put as much command as he could into the next order. "My orders are to keep her alive." He pointed to the Senator. "Nobody said anything about you. As long as you play nice and do what you're told, we'll get you out of it as well. Believe me...

Larry realized things were going to get out of hand soon enough, so he tried to use his body language to keep the SS guy standing in front of the mirror. If somebody had to be taken, it was better to remove the wild card from the deck. "Look, man. I don't know what the hell is going on, but...
