    What alignment is your party?

    Chaotic, that about sums us up. I believe it's: CG/CN (straddles the line) CN/CE (multiple personalities) CG CN CG CG LG The paladin is at her wit's end trying to deal with us. =b Usually we don't tell her what's really going on. =b

    D&D deserves a better XP system

    This is really the key point, the whole reason you use good tactics. Sure, the XP is the same, but group A wouldn't have to trek back to town, find an inn, rest up for the night, blow all their spell slots on healing, and then come back to the dungeon. Group A could simply lick their wounds and...

    Anime d20 from BESM any good?

    Well, I don't have the book, but I d/led the SRD version a while back for a campaign I (briefly) ran, an OA game with elements of BESM d20 thrown in. The system is really flexible, lots of customization options... but it's completely unbalanced re: standard D&D. If the campaign is set entirely...

    Fleshing Out a Campaign World

    This could work, especially the part about them drawing power from the storm; it gives them reasons to build the temples, invest in their religion, that sort of thing. Also, the fact that they're, essentially, drawing on wild magic gives a plausible reason for Tainted lines to show up. There are...

    Fleshing Out a Campaign World

    I like this (though I agree with TheLastMehina's later point that the "truth" of this religion is a moot point, as it is with all the religions in this world - in Unnamed-ia, religion is very much a socio-political construct). It gives a more concrete reason for the revolt, beyond, "They...

    Fleshing Out a Campaign World

    Yeah, I know about the GoO SRD's. Still, it'd be nice to have the actual books. As far as Last Exile goes... well, there's a reason I thought up the Great Storm, and it happens to coincide quite nicely with the Grand Stream. =b I actually thought up this world after finishing Scrapped Princess...

    The right angle firing gun

    I used to live near where they tested the laser (well, if "near" means "directly next to"), so I followed the story pretty closely when they talked about the test. And basically, you're right; it hits the missile with a force equal to a couple sticks of dynamite. Missile isn't vaporized, but...

    Fleshing Out a Campaign World

    First off, thanks to both Juergen and Hunter for the responses; both are right along the lines of what I'm looking for. Moving on... A good question. I don't think there would be any ban on airships, per se. However, I could see them interfering with, say, non-magically powered airships -...

    Fleshing Out a Campaign World

    Steamtech does sound like a happy medium between the two. I'll check those two books out when I get the chance, thanks for the suggestion. Well, first, the trade is through airships (saw the book by Bastion, and had to incorporate it); they fly into the storm, and down beneath the Storm. Some...

    Fleshing Out a Campaign World

    Alright, so I've come up with an idea for a campaign setting I'd like to develop. I've got the basic ideas and plotlines for the setting more or less done. Now comes the task of filler - what can I put in besides the major plotlines, so that the campaign isn't one long train ride? So, here's...

    What significant technology advances are in your game?

    Well, my late game (may it rest in peace) was modeled closely after pre-Europe China, so it had a number of the "major" advances - the printing press and gunpowder, for example. I wasn't able to keep the game going long enough to really get into the effect it had on the world, but in the time I...

    What anime and manga have influenced your gaming experience.

    Well, the game I currently run is influenced quite a bit from anime - part of the main plotline is fairly similiar to Inuyasha's, while other elements of the setting are based loosely on Fushigi Yuugi. Stylistically, Naruto is coming into the game; that series has also colored how I visualize...

    What stats do YOU have? What's your Alignment, Race and Class?

    Well, I'm either a Lawful Good Dwarf Bard, or a Lawful Neutral Dwarf Sorceror: Str 10 Dex 16 Con 11 Int 17 Wis 11 Cha 13 I'm not optimized, and I think my first is illegal. Oh well. =b

    New Online Campaign Starting (3/3.5e, OA)

    I'm looking for players to join my upcoming campaign, a homebrewed OA campaign, incorporating some rules from BESM (Big Eyes, Small Mouth) d20. It's a low-magic (but not necessarily low-powered) campaign, drawing on a number of anime sources. I'm looking for 2-3 players (already have 2)...

    Everyone, Tell us about your games, please!

    1.) How many players in your group? Well, that depends... in the one group, we sometimes get as high as.... eight players, though it's usually closer to four or five. In the second group, we average about four players. 2.) Do you DM? Not currently, but I have before, and I hope to soon. Trying...

    Up the Walls and Psionic Charge: good uses?

    Funny thing, I'm actually playing one of these - Speed of Thought, Psionic Charge, Up the Walls. Next, add in Boots of Springing and Striding - if they stack with Speed of Thought (not sure there), you'll have a base speed of 80. Now, you don't need to worry about getting anywhere. Throw in...

    Bargaining with Called Creatures

    Well, by the spell description, it sounds as though payment is supposed to be given -after- the service is performed: "You may ask the creature to perform one task for you, and the creature may request some service in return. The more demanding your request, the greater return favor the...

    [FR] Need help on character background

    Alright, I started up in a new group yesterday... had all of about four hours notice to throw together a character, so I just grabbed one of my unused characters, pumped him up to the appropriate level, and took him to the game. So, my problem is... the game is in the Realms, and outside of the...
