April 1970... The month the Beatles broke up. /Sob :(

Monte Cook's system from BoHM, or something different? Hah! :D So what it drove home to you that it just wasn't worth it, even to the level of keeping track of any alignment at all? Or you just want to try something different?

Good idea Radiant. You might want to try to shock them out of their complacency, saying "Look I'm not hearing from anyone so apparently you want to stop the game. Unless I hear differently consider the game cancelled." If they don't respond to that I think you need to find a new group.

I've always wanted to ask you, which library to you work at? Just wondering as I attended UVa and worked part-time shelving in Alderman for two years in the early 90's.

Agreed there can be no consistent general rule, however, getting a dominated creature to attack his allies should be an extremely common situation. More clear guidelines should be provided about whether this violates "a creature's nature" or not. Guidelines for how Charm Person can be used in...

The back of the Tombs module says 2nd to 8th.

Absolutely. Cure Light Wounds wands are already cheap enough as is, and this is something every party would never want to be without... Back up to full HP between each combat as long as you have a couple of minutes.

You getting those effects from Chinese Ghost Story by any chance? If not, maybe you should watch the first one... A similar "runic" approach in which nearly all spells result from your character manipulating runes of power could be interesting.

Blue Planet and Transhuman Space! But I'm also very excited about D20 Future, and in particular adapting the above two settings to it to make them more pallatable for my group (lots of groaning insues whenever I mention learning a new set of rules).

Yes, that was very cool, especially how he didn't have the trademark goatee in the first scene but had grown it a few months later. That guy is actually a kabuki actor, an onnagata who plays female parts.

Thanks. This is exactly the kind of info I'm looking for. Specific solutions, what spells were changed and how, what spells deleted, etc.

I like the maps, too. And I made some comments on the module over on this thread: http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=73505

Thanks Acrem... That middle road is something to think about. Hmm I have two replies telling me it's simple. Am I just working myself up? What would you do about spells with alignment descriptors? Any Cleric can cast any spell? Remove them? What about magic items (like the Holy Sword...

It's similar to the Vault of Larin Karr (by W.D.B Kenower--the author of VoLK--and Bill Webb of Necromancer Games) in that it is as much of a campaign setting as an adventure. The PCs are going to have a lot of freedom in deciding what to do. That said it is more site-based. It details a city...

In that case you just change it to a stronger charm person and it becomes safer just to have them grapple their friends. Arg, it really just proves how problematic subjective language can be.

Yes the duration of many spells such as Greater Invisibility are now measured in rounds/level rather than minutes per level. But combats are short, and the buffers need only cast the critical spells right before the teleportation. On the other hand 3.5 makes it much harder for casters to stay...

That's definitely a fair criticism of the middle part of the module, but on the other hand these interstial enemies can easily be eliminated (mostly that's what I did) or changed to something that makes more sense. With little impact on the rest of it. And as said in one of the sidebars, the...

Lost City of Barakus, Necromancer Games

I've read some comments here and there from people who mentioned eliminating alignment from their D&D games. It seems like it would be difficult, as the alignment system is so ingrained and far reaching (even more so for 3.5 than 3.0 due to changes in DR) so I would be very interested to hear...

Yep, I agree the Japanese voice acting for Spirited Away (all the Studio Ghibli productions for that matter) is much better than the English. Not to mention they have to jump through hoops and warp the English script in many cases to match the mouth flaps, while the Japanese is drawn to say...
