    What is the D&D of Science Fiction RPGs...

    I am going to have to chime in and vote Traveller as well.

    The Ethics of Summoning

    Interesting. Yes, technically it would be possible. I don't recall reading anywhere that says Outsider meat is not edible. How about this: A summon spell takes a creature and makes a copy of its energy pattern. The pattern is then sent to the material plane and solidifies into a thing that...

    The Ethics of Summoning

    In my campaign Outsiders have no status as sentient beings. They can not become citizens or stuff like that. Any legal or moral implications rest solely on the caster. Using a spell to break the law usually makes it aggravated. So, robbing a bank with a summoned creature, regardless of if it...

    Evil in the Desert

    I don't have my books with me so I can't look stuff up. Could they ride Dire Sidewinder snakes? That would be very evil. I don't see how you could put a saddle on one but perhaps just a rope or something in the snakes mouth and then go bareback. Maby you should make the halflings immune to...

    Sex and the Single Adventurer

    In a long-running game one of the PCs was an elvish fighter who fell in love with a NPC human wizard. It was one of those things that happened without the DM planning. The elf was escapeing from a dungeon and rescued the wizard on her way out. After that they had a lot of time to get to know...

    Make Yourself A Campaign Setting Warhammer Style: Use Real World Maps!

    The only time I did that was when I found a map of what the earth would look like if the water level of the ocean raised. I have since lost the link to the map. Another neat map is the one of mars shown as if it had oceans. I once ran a short GURPS Technomancer game but I don't know if that...

    Help my terrorize a player

    Presidigitation. You can soil or clean a lot of stuff. Its a zero level spell so just about anyone with arcane knowlege could do it. The Master could pull a fast one and pose as the 'pawn' himself. Use only low-level spells, no magic items. Then when the PCs interrogate him: Time Stop...

    [Final Fantasy Campaign] Ry'ia Creatures

    I have a question. Sorry, but I don't understand the Dances. Are they spell-like abilities? How many times per day can they cast them? Also, Moogles are Lawful Good? My instinct just says Chaotic Good. I guess thats because they were so random to use in battle and just a little bit silly...

    [Final Fantasy - Ry'ia] New Core Classes

    I love your Callers! Its exactly like I was thinking they should be. All your posts have me pondering a Final Fantasy D20 game of my own. The Dragoon Knights are interesting. However, I would make them a PrC. But then again, I make extensive use of PrCs.

    Wanting To Start A New Campaign. Final Fantasy? Help!

    I could see that working. Yes, Red Mages are exactly like multiclass fighter/mage.

    Wanting To Start A New Campaign. Final Fantasy? Help!

    Yeah, that sounds cool. Are you thinking of modifying Sorcerers or making a new Blue Mage class that are sort of like Sorcerers but learn and cast differently? On the subject of making a game have a Final Fantasy feel the real question is: Do your players like it? Mine are FF and anime fans...

    Wanting To Start A New Campaign. Final Fantasy? Help!

    I would not make it automatic unless the character actually ate the enemy. But then again, I am odd. :) For me, I always liked the magitech mix. FFIV was my favorite for a long time. I play FFX the most now. I really liked FFIX too. Mostly it was the characters (Vivi was the best!) but I...

    101 Cool Character Concepts

    One of my favorite characters is a Rogue2/Monk2/Psychic Warrior2. He is a Strongheart Halfling who started out as a member of an FR monk order which name escapes me. He awakened to his psychic potential while adventuring. He dresses in dirty commoner clothes instead of a monks outfit. He...

    Dragonstar: Any opinions?

    I love DragonStar! I found it easy to just drop whatever I wanted in there. Right now I am doing an Everquest RPG game that may turn into a DragonStar crossover depending on the player choices. The world of Norrath is in peril. The characters are currently on the inhabited moon of Luclin...

    Groups with no DM

    Games like Warhammer Quest can be played solo or with no DM. You have cards and stuff that you turn over to see what happens. It was fun but still not the same as with a DM. I had to get rid of my stuff when I moved.

    I hate to tell you...

    <sigh> On a different subject check out a parody comic. I like this one although the lettering is a little off. http://a_company_of_wolves.tripod.com/tract1.html

    Are hobby shops like porn shops?

    The store I go to just cuts out the middleman. There is a room with an 'Adults Only' sign that houses the porn and Hentai manga. The reason I still go there even though I moved further away is that it has a huge gaming area. Like, the entire second floor! There is a large room with five...

    [DStr] patents and licensing in the Empire?

    If I was DM I would say no. The best case scenario would be for your character to design and build the prototype then hand it over the the Aristocorp techs. If it is a feasable idea and could be profitable then you would get a small cut of royalties. Being Golds I think you would have a...

    If you were designing a mage faire what would you do?

    An exotic stranger cloaked in all black watches everyone at the fair intensely. Clever players might be able to deduce his Outsider nature. His name is Tetratiomin. He is a Thaerestian, also known as an Arcane Angel. (see Monte Cooks' Book of Eldritch Might II) He has come here to find...

    Campaign Intros

    We once did the prison thing. Every character had a reason to be in the town thought we didn't know each other. Due to events beyond our control all the strangers in town were rounded up and thrown in magic dead cell (too bad for me as I was the wizard). This being a small dusty town on the...
