    Why is The Book of Exalted Deeds for Mature Readers?

    If it's all about good and stuff. . . . Ya know. Why? Thanks.

    d20 GAMMA WORLD: excerpts, links, Pure Strain Excitement

    Personally, I wouldn't much mind if sentient plants and "humor" went away. What hooked me on this idea is Bruce's previews. Specifically that great sense of "WOW THAT'S COOL!" science fiction science that Bruce (and apparently the entire Trinityverse team) is bringing to this.

    Diamond Boys Snap Into Action Against Humanist Menace!

    After the death of their leader, the party discussed who ought to lead them in the future. There was a bit of unpleasantness, as Wolfwind made some blatant ad hominem attacks against Scedigoth, who in turn gave a few more subtle (or at least not as offensive) jibes. Since Kester Senth's player...

    [Humor] Battle Cries of the Mild!

    I forgot to mention: most of these were sung in the tune of the Theme from Mighty Mouse.

    [Humor] Battle Cries of the Mild!

    We have a character in our group that's played by a guy who isn't there very much. As it happens, the character's personality, motivations, etc., are rather bland and uninspiring. The following is an email, edited to avoid identifying the guilty, from one of the guys in our group to the rest...

    Diamond Boys Snap Into Action Against Humanist Menace!

    Yeah, I considered laying out the combat round-by-round, given how the session was only 2 hours, but basically, Chardak did a lot of healing.

    One Shot Concept (Help, please) - Bastards Kill a Dragon and Take its Hoard

    This is set initially in some "standard" D&D world, right? A place with dragons and elves and rangers and stuff. And then they go through the rabbit hole to The Diamond Throne? What if the dragon isn't a dragon? What if people call it a dragon because it kind of looks like one? Because they...

    Impressions of the classes so far

    What's the use of continuing the conversation past this point, then?

    Diamond Boys Snap Into Action Against Humanist Menace!

    Thanks! That gruesome death was my favorite part of what I did. I forgot to mention that afterward, the PCs looked at the rune and realized it was triggered to have effect only on giants. Also, in the center, there was a red-sand painting of a fist into the center of which had been nailed the...

    Diamond Boys Snap Into Action Against Humanist Menace!

    So I figured it's about time I actually do a bit of adventure-logging. Unfortunately, after character generation, we didn't have that much time to actually play. However, we did get about 2 hours of game in, so here it goes: The party are getting ready to walk the patrol in the morning when...

    Diamond Boys Snap Into Action Against Humanist Menace!

    And so begin the campaign logs for the anti-Humanist campaign. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's a brief rundown of the basic concept. For exhaustive ruminations, check out http://pub102.ezboard.com/fokayyourturnfrm32.showMessage?topicID=250.topic There is an organization at...

    One player trying to one-up everybody else?

    Hey, Ron, you got my email address? I want to email you off-board.

    One player trying to one-up everybody else?

    I don't know him as well as Drew does, so I'm really still just learning about who he is. I would say that he has potential, and he can come up with some very cool ideas. He's certainly better than some people I've played with. But really, "why not throw him out" is sort of counterproductive...

    One player trying to one-up everybody else?

    Maybe that's the problem. There has historically never been such a thing as 5 levels from now so far :).

    One player trying to one-up everybody else?

    Very, very minimal. Yes. I think he has 1 rank in Knowledge (History). He's a lunar in a group of Solars. In the Star Wars campaign, he's a grey side Jedi in a group of light side Jedi. He is ever the bad-ass, ever the outcast, ever the guy who is better and different and harder than...

    One player trying to one-up everybody else?

    Other examples: In playing an Exalted game, we've got 4 solars and one lunar (of course, he's got to be the "special" lunar), he's ostensibly creating a sorcerer. I've got a dawn caste exalt, and have already dumped a lot of magic in being really hard to kill (lots of health levels). He...

    Arcana Unearthed PDFs vs. Printed Book

    Well, of course. I wouldn't just take the book and never let them look at it. The PDFs are useful at a table where there's only one book, however, because you can print them out and the players can have constant access to the parts of the book that, as players, they will be using most often...

    Arcana Unearthed PDFs vs. Printed Book

    To those complaining about the pdfs not being complete . . . don't they come right out and say, "We're not complete" pretty much early on? I'd always figured the purpose of the PDFs was to present little booklets of important bits for those who may not be running the game, but who might play in...

    AU not really compatible with DnD 3.0 or 3.5

    Compatability is what you make of it. If you're super anal retentive and are going to do charts of the damage output possible over 10 rounds, then you'll find incompatability. If you take compatability to mean that you are both rolling d20s for skills and to-hits and you're using class- and...

    Arcana Unearthed: Pro's and Con's

    There is some stuff that's unequivocally open content, and the rest--I'm paraphrasing what I remember Monte saying here so don't rely on me in place of an official statement--is available, if you ask, and talk to him about it. Color would have been nice, but I'd much rather have what we have...
