    Getting a full set is unreasonable

    Welcome to the rip-off. By selling these as "collectable" WotC gets folks to fork over a whole lot more money than they would if they could buy the ones they want. In the near future, Reaper will begin selling prepainted minis, NON-collectable. See what you are buying. If it does well, then...

    Where do crits come from?

    A natural 20 was not an auto hit, nor was a natural 1 an auto miss. But a natural 20 was the only way to get a number higher than 20. A roll of 19 +10 would equal 20. And if you were good enough to hit a low AC opponent on a 1, you might actually do more damage.

    Updated character sheets: SWSE, Iron Heroes, WFRP

    I've enjoyed your T20 work, as well. Good stuff.

    Star Wars Saga RPG: Square Book? WTF

    I used to know a person who was always insisting that because sodium was known to the old alchemists (or so he thought) that he could have his character cast a Major Creation spell (1st ed) of a lot of sodium into the moat of a castle and so take out the wall. :\ [/hijack]

    My SW SAGA house rules

    I switched diagonal movement as a houserule the moment I saw the 2 - 2 - 2 nonsense they had written. My comment to some of my mathematically ept friends was that WotC had declared the square root of 2 to be 2. :\ The only other thing I have done so far is to declare that Use the Force is an...

    SAGA: Too few force points?

    And where, pray tell, is this errata? I had wondered about references to accurate weapons, when I could find no description in the book.

    [SW Saga] Crime Lords are strong in the Force!

    I like using the rules from Unearthed Arcana that allow the addition of fractions. You could have 3 classes, each going up at 3/4 so that a third level (say rogue 1 / cleric 1 / monk 1)would have a BAB of +2.25, instead of +0. I don't see why it could not work with the SWSE rules just as...

    Star Wars Saga RPG: Square Book? WTF

    With the groups that I normally game with, I am the keeper of gaming lore, and thus, the rules are what I say they are. Everyone else is too lazy to read the books to contradict me... :lol:

    Star Wars Saga RPG: Square Book? WTF

    Hey! I like the Miraluka. The Kushiban stats are for a friend, and as far as the Lepi go, well,when I first saw thaem written up in the Star Wars Gamer magazine, I immediately ran out to find a suitable mini. :lol: And thanks to those who mentioned where the current stats are!

    SAGA: Too few force points?

    I haven't read the rules on bracing for autofire yet, but couldn't you just drop prone? Either a swift action of a free action, and you've got this nice, big, heavy planet-thingy to brace against...

    Borders Stopped Stocking D&D Minis

    I ended up buying a pack from a store because it had been opened. Most likely, it became open because the shelf was not high enough and the top caught. I looked in and there was the roof of an AT-ST from Star Wars... :D But, on the other hand, I've been in a bookstore that had an open pack...

    Ruins of the Wild (DD Tiles)

    Yes! That is exactly what I need. I haven't bought any of the previous sets, since I am happy just drawing out dungeons on a battle mat, but drawing out a forest just takes way, way too long. Having a couple of large tiles that are just dense forest and a bunch of smaller tiles of individual...

    Star Wars Saga RPG: Square Book? WTF

    Which of course means that if they had made it proper size, they could have packed more goodness inside. In fact, if each page has the same information densidty that the RCR had, then going with a full size bok would have made it the equivelent of a book with 313.04 pages. That 25+ pages...

    Burn Them All!: Witches, Heretics, and Rebels!

    It wasn't so much a sacrifice to the emperor, but to the Genius of Rome, as seen as personified in the Emperor. Genius is refering to the gestalt of the spirits of the ascended dead emperors. In other words, the emperor per se was not Divine, it was just that the previous emperors worked...

    Burn Them All!: Witches, Heretics, and Rebels!

    True for the most part. Polytheistic societies do tend to be open to allowing people to worship any number of Gods. That was why I created the big difference between my two groups. While most polytheisms would simply ignore a minority group worshiping other Gods, if those other Gods taught a...

    Readied charge?

    Well, I know that in wargaming Napoleonics, it is possible to have unit orders that state: "Charge if Charged". It is perfectly reasonable to have a readied charge action. The big problem is in not allowing some of the potential silly abuses like moving around a corner, and then stopping and...

    Star Wars Saga RPG: Square Book? WTF

    No really, I was being serious. 30 seconds with a measuring tape and a calculator. Hadn't really started a word count yet. The easiest way would be with a scanner and word recognition software, unfortunately the only method I actually have access to is manually...

    Burn Them All!: Witches, Heretics, and Rebels!

    In my campaign world, I have a home brewed pantheon of Gods, with a supreme Mother Goddess at the head, and an evil father God in opposition. Outside of this, are the druids and their two Gods. The druids in my game are based very loosely on Wicca. They have a triple Goddess and a triple God...

    Thrown Weapons... what can make them viable?

    A couple of years ago, I posted just that very item. Some people thought it would be okay, some positively hated the idea. WhenI came up with it, I was restricting it to enchanting only shuriken as a boost for a monk. My reasoning was that shuriken are ammo, just like arrows and therefore...

    Entangle vs. Plant creatures

    That is an image that will be hammering at my mind for a very long time... :\
