Are there any formulas for the Spell Charts? They seem pretty wacky, especially the Sorcerer Spells Known table.

I was forgetting about INT. In Excel, if you do Ability/2 -5 and Rounddown you end up with this string of mods for 1 to 20: -4 -4 -3 -3 -2 -2 -1 -1 0 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 If you just Round, you end up with: -5 -4 -4 -3 -3 -2 -2 -1 -1 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 That's why I was confused. I...

Something you might want to fix on your document. The formula for ability modifiers is off just a little. You end up with 3 ability mods of 0. Looks like you need to do: modifier = (ability / 2.1) - 5 and round to the nearest whole number

Thanks a bunch! Saves me a lot of time! :D I can always count on ENWorld.

Does anyone have a link to a listing of the fomulas used for calculating things like ability score bonus, saves, etc.? If there is no link that anyone knows of, can someone post them quick if they know them. I could figure them all out but if someone has them handy it would save me some time.

bang a [left, right, yoo-ee] = take a [left, right, u-turn] make a packie run = go to the liquor store jimmies = sprinkles milkshake = flavored milk frappe = milk with ice cream bubbler = drinking fountain tonic = soda/pop/coke/soda pop (only people my parents' age say this now) hoodsie = little...

I regretfully have to announce that I will not be able to attend the Gameday on Saturday :( :( I am buying a house and the inspection has to take place on Saturday afternoon or else it won't get done in time since I'm travelling for work so much. Again I miss the Boston Gameday. I was really...

I'm looking for blog software that I can use to run a fantasy blog. Basically, I want to post news and rumors in blog format and have the dates be my fantasy calendar. I am using WordPress to keep track of everything related to my homebrew, and that works great, but I can't seem to configure...

1400 x 1050 on my laptop I always build my sites as 800 x 600.

I don't think you could argue that it doesn't. Throw George R.R. Martin in there (and Jordan too, even though I think that series is a waste of trees). Scarce magic makes the best fantasy.

Just so you didn't miss it, in the afternoon I'd like to switch to the M&M game to avoid playing two fantasy games. I like to mix genres on a gaming day.

Ok, I'm gonna go with 7th Sea in the morning, and since I don't want to do two fantasy games, I'm gonna switch the afternoon slot to M&M.

Depending on what the D20 future & M&M games are, I may do the pirate game in the AM and switch from the Arcana Evolved game in the PM. Hmm... I wonder if I can clone myself to play all three?

Something else I forgot to mention. Years ago, when I played in a Cyberpunk campaign which lasted over a year, our GM made extensive use of cutscenes. In fact, between every "chapter" there was a cutscene. Sometimes it had relevance to our current story, sometimes it had something to do with...

I am a big believer in cutscenes... when used correctly. In the current campaign I am DMing, the metaplot revolves around the ancient Minotaur Empire and its fall 1000 years ago. Their current adventure has taken them into the previously lost temple to the God of Time. I have used cutscenes for...

Put me down for the Arcana Evolved game!

That's a cool idea... shadows of the past. It works well with one of the plots for the future. The PCs will only be able to explore so far without the key that will allow them access to the Inner Sanctums. They will end up returning there sometime later at a higher level after some other...

Finally a Boston game day I can make! I'm in on this one! Just not sure what game...

DM in need of help... I have a party (around 3rd level) who last left off at the entrance to a long buried (beneath a marsh) temple to the God of Time, which has recently risen and stands at the edge of a lake. They already fought some frogmen who live in the lake, as well as inhabit most of...

The Book of the Righteous It totally changed the way I look at Clerics, Paladins, and gods and religion in RPGs forever. Even as a 20+ year RPGer, it never really clicked for me until I read that book. I always felt that the way RPGs approached clerics and religion in general was as something...
