andargor, <off-topic>You've just made the day of two of my DMs (perhaps a 3rd once he gets back from vacation)! Not talking about the spells actually, but the NPCs and NPC generator. If you add equipment and epic to that, you've got a real winning program there as far as we're...

There are at least three or four new Western games either out or in the works (not including the new Savage Worlds/Deadlands rules). One, at least, includes the outer space thing. Don't remember which game or company, though, sorry.

Could you give me an example? I look at it much like the original poster does. Mutants & Masterminds I can see being very flexible since you've got interesting powers and don't have to wait until level seven or higher (it seems to me) to gain superpowers, magic abilities, etc.

It occurred to me when reviewing the article and letters that Monte seems to expect good DMing and Hickman is expecting or at least allowing for bad DMing. So there's one underlying difference in assumptions. Also, it does seem a thin line betweeen being a catalyst and being a PITA. Not sure...

There actually was one small but prominent and empty area in the exhibition room dedicated to ST.

Some of this is done. Check out: Diamond Throne: Articles Look for The Miracle Worker I & II.

Silly, off-topic, question, E33, but how are you posting from Indy? Someone brought a laptop and the Omni has wireless or phone or DSL? Just curious.

There are also the free ones at WotC's site: Previous Edition Downloads

(D2) Shrine of the Kuo-Toa did. Don't think we ever played Saltmarsh.

Please keep us posted. Also, if you haven't checked out Robin's Laws of Good Game Mastering by Robin Laws, Steve Jackson Games, it's good. Defines the different player types and what turns them on and off and what the different types of adventures are and how they're constructed.

I haven't read the book in well over a dozen years and wrote that in 2001 or 2002. So, I was referring to the book, or my faulty memory thereof. LOL!

That definitely sounds like a step in that direction. As for spreading the responsibility, it's the idea that a player will be responsible for ensuring that another player gets enjoyment out of the game. For example, if a player wants his PC to have a reputation for being a swordsman...

I haven't been able to wrap my brain around the idea entirely yet, but one aspect is that a lot of that sort of thing is worked out between the entire group. Not necessarily what the world is like, but what this particular campaign in the world will be like. It spreads some of what we normally...

I ran across this article at 2d10.com: Play Contracts: Care and Feeding I wondered if anyone has tried something like this and what the results were. It's quite a departure from the standard way of playing we're used to. If you have used it could you post the Play Contract? Thanks.

Found this as well, when discussing playing a paladin up front with the DM (which I think is necessary for a successful game, BTW). This was my view on paladins and how one can differ from another (despite the PH comment to the contrary, which I think is silly). Assumption One: "Not all...

For whatever reason, I thought 10 was the right number when I adapted this from a 2nd Edition supplement. This is what I worked up for my FR Paladin of Ilmater years ago (the game ended after about 10 sessions or so). It differed from what I'd have done for Tyr or Torm (who were more...

That which Emiricol mentions is from the Complete Warrior. There are other class variants in Unearthed Arcana (such as Totem Barbarians, Divine Bards and Cloistered Clerics).

My pixie psionicist has a wine cellar, library and bedroom now. We also used the hole and bag combo to send a very nasty fallen solar to the Astral plane right in the middle of his demonic invasion of a particular plane. Say, what happens when a portable hole is placed inside another portable...

You'll might want to get Against the Shadow: A Player's Companion for Midnight as well. Has 14 new heroic paths, some character background ideas, feats, an Herbalism system, and PrCs.

Looks like you're missing an 'e'.
