Yes, but the Munchkin concept, as well as the illustrations for the card game were generally Kovalic's. The card game and now the d20 supplement are inspired by Dork Tower and the Unspeakable Oaf. Kovalic's not a game designer, so Jackson and Hackard are writing the actual rulebook. Hackard...

Again, Colonel, Munchkin is John Kovalic's baby. You know, the guy who writes Dork Tower. If you don't trust his motives, then why does his work get published monthly in Dragon?

Ayep, and Cthulhu can cause 10hp of damage just by looking at something crosseyed.

Then worship is, under this system, an agreement that the god can use that individual's portion of the divine spark in proxy. Individually these divine sparks might be insignificant, but even if every person is only about 1/1000 of a god, you add up the belief of a thousand people, you get a god.

"D20 GURPS" is a contradiction in terms. GURPS is the rules set, not the setting. To convert GURPS to d20 would defeat the purpose of GURPS. Oh, please, spare me the borgish "prepare to be assimilated" rhetoric. There is nothing that says a game has to be d20 to survive, nor that anyone should...

"Munchkin" the card game is pretty much parodying D&D. This could have been Kovalic's idea rather than Jackson's.

I would recommend, in order from best to whatever, the following:GURPS Cabal (Supernatural occult conspiracy)GURPS WWII (Military realism. The best book for portraying the war)GURPS Voodoo (A shadow war fought by rival sects of magi for the salvation of mankind)GURPS Black Ops (Think Men in...

I'll agree that the knightly orders (and the sub-grades within both Solamnics and the Knights of Takhisis) mandate prestige classes. Frankly, this is one of the clunky systems that just didn't work well in past editions, but seems just made for some of the systems in 3E. I'd almost say that...

The Star Wars d20 corebook's approach to the various eras, with the era notes as to what characters are appropriate when is a very elegant treatment. Dragonlance would do well to adopt it. Also, I really like the icon system on the back of Star Wars supplements. This would be a great thing to...

Question for anyone who's reading the War of Souls: Is High Sorcery coming back, or does the new magic seem to be staying?

Uhm, Sovereign Stone isn't going anywhere. Was that dig at Sovereign stone really necessary, Corinth?

Ah, but with Dis, it wouldn't even have to be "close enough"! The city, and even its ruler have detailed portrayals in the public domain. A d20 citybook on it already has a lot of material it can draw from that is fair game.

Soth is alive (well, dead, but ambulatory) and in Krynn. He was ripped screaming out of Ravenloft by the spirits of the elven women he murdered. Hickman and Weiss wanted him back in their setting.

Recently, on this board, I read a long and drawn out discussion of how WotC should make a book about Dis in the Nine Hells. Here's the thing, though, the Nine Hells, so long as you don't call them Baator, is fair game for d20 publishing. Dis, specificially, is public domain because it's from...

Dis and Dispater are in the public domain, being part of the popular mythological portrayal of Hell. Anyone could write a d20 sourcebook on Dis, and WotC couldn't raise a legal concern.

Probably a coup for Sovereign Press, too, because WotC will be eating the printing costs, and will likely make a full-colour book.

Are you banned at Nutkinland? Is anyone you know?

"bandits", "marauders", "wayfarers", "scouts", "raiders", "saboteurs", etc. Depending on your modus operandi, there are lots of names for those who practice guerilla warfare.

Psionicists also have an almost identical means of doing this.

I meant with the state of their OGL/d20 usage in the corebooks and supplements. I had gotten the announcement via the mailing lists already. I'm just somewhat in the dark as to what will be OGL and what will be d20 in EQRPG.
