I'm wondering.. the clerical magic might change things a little. Maybe think up ascendant magical paths and vice versa for Thamarites? It'd take a lot of work. Its not too much of a stretch to imagine the 'power of healing' problems wouldn't apply to other things as well. Magic... that ones...

I'm having an idea. I really like the Iron Kingdoms, BUT I don't like their crazily complex mechanica rules. I also really like Warhammer RPG. I think its got a nice, brutal system. I think the magic is done so it is weird and to be honest, the two systems are a nice match for each other BAR...

Captain Commando, please listen to me for your own sake and for the sake of the people close to you. I understand I am an internet nobody, but it seems you are at least reading the threads, if not taking the advice given. I read up to about page 6, if I missed anything but felt I must post, if...

Not sure if its small enough, but GODLIKE by Arc Dream Publishing is pretty awesome, and I've heard good things about their other books as well.

the warhammer fantasy Border Princes book I like a lot. Its kinda similar to this but you basically roll a percentage, and thats how many squares of a certain land type you get. After you generate the map, you randomly get ancient evils, orc lairs, villages, towns, local lords, and all of the...

Galloglaich: I think the point they are making is that life, itself, is complex and made up of a multitude of factors.; an abstract system can theoretically reduce the about of complexity, where a realistic system theoretically tries to keep a track of all of the factors; or at least this is my...

Black leaf, noo! funny, I've never come across anyone, christian or otherwise, who bought into this satans game business. Still, I never played in the 80s. I have had in my group a fundamentalist Christian, my wife follows the charismatic paths of Catholicism and so on. Yet they all put aside...

hmm.. What about a cult of paladins? A secret cult, known to only a few; known as the Knights of the Raven, they each bear a piece of raven jewellery. Small, so as not to interfere with their surcoat of arms, but there. The Knights of the Raven follow the path of the Book of Ashes, a book...

Actually I do rapier in the SCA. We study the manuals and try to reproduce the techniques (and find new ones). the no full force thing is a little strange, as I haven't heard that before. We aren't allowed to slam someone with full strength, but it doesn't mean it isn't at full speed. I attack...

Wow, Jack, I must say thats impressive. None of my friends know that much about fencing or hand-to-hand combat other than boys mucking around. Could you explain your description system? I'd like to hear it. Galloglaich: I exaggerated when I mentioned the beer bottle thing, but it was more of an...

Hello all! I'm aware that there are doubtless quite a few historical re-enactors, LARPERS, ARMA or various western martial arts groups as well as asian-style martial artists on this board. Since I have begun historical fence and jujitsu my depictions at the gaming table have changed a lot. My...

I'm not sure if this is real or not. YouTube - The Battle of Burgledorf

This may be slightly off topic, but you may want to give Warhammer 2nd ed a quick look. Its more similar to 3.5 with feats and special abilities, but there are some interesting tactical features; all out attacks giving bonuses to hit, deliberate parries or defensive stances and the like. And as...

I'd agree with a houserule to allow it. I wouldn't worry about the 'parry' imagery. Instead of parrying the weapon, its evasions, brief holding of the arm and so on. I'd also suggest he make himself familiar with the grappling stuff. The guy is already going to be a little disadvantaged, game...

Call of Cthulhu. First ten minutes of the game. I slip out with 'The head cultist behind the counter says..' With eight years of gaming, there's been so much laughing I honestly can't remember which is best. We were playing a BESM20 pickup game at one point, and one of the players chose to...

Yes, I feel these would be the things that might do it. I mean, I know it stops my friends from pirating games. Do you think if these things were more common in gaming stores or free PDFs online then WOTC might have less troubles with piracy? The excerpts are interesting for drumming up...

These are interesting things, but I'm not sure if they would have the effect desired. Has one of these excerpts really made anyone go and buy a book? Hows about a comparison to say, a free copy of the rules for 1st level?

I'd have to agree with Donovan Morningfire. Most soldier classes that I have in my game take improved damage threshold at least once, and maybe more if they are higher level. The PC soldier was perfectly happy being able to absorb blows the Jedi would crumble under. My game only had one who...

Mark: Yes, I've been here for years, but I think I lost my username info in my moves around the world and I decided to finally support this place that I've used to entertain me for so many years and reregister and buy one of those accounts. To your question: Some do, but I was under the...

Hello All! I wonder - if companies produced little free sample rules and adventures, would some of the file piracy stop? I know it would stop people I know, who pirate copies of things just for a sample to see how the game works. I know for certain that the free set of traveller rules that...
