Heres ones ive used: Masters of the Universe- i used castle greyskull and snake mountain, the former is inhabited by a lich who rides a panther, the lich is named keldor... Pirates of darkwater- duh, i took the darkwater idea... Dungeons and dragons- the dungeonmaster! every now and then he...

i have one group that differs from most hobbits in that they are wilder and have tamed dinosaurs and ride velociraptors ( a reference to a cartoon i used to watch). i think you could make these types work, that is if you wanted to. i take it your campaign follows more of a Gor, Conan or Elric...

ask your DM as to the rules. gods are killable in my campaign, but its not easy and you may find that you dont like the results... i myself have a rather distant pantheon, after freeing the world from the grip of the great old ones they moved on to other things, because a being so powerful can...

one thing i like to do is take 3e prestige classes and turn them into custom classes. i keep a DMG/PHB thats pretty exhaustive in case someone wants to run a campaign in my setting. if your running dry as many DM's do, this book is invaluable. another good 3e book is encyclopedia of demons and...

adhering to the edition war truce that was called a few blocks up. we had feats back in the day. we called them "called shots" and your plusses came into play. im pretty sure they were a house rule (i havent really looked to see if there is a rule book variation). anyway, its the whole "special...

heh heh..its really my fault were so off topic, i went off on a rant. i guess i dont want to convert because A i have a 3e to 1e conversion book (unauthorized of course) B my group tried it and disliked it. no disrespect to those who play 3e, ive just got problems with it. for instance the 1/2...

i picked up a book and it may not be current (who can keep up with all this 3.0, 3.5, 3.2 1/2 nonsense) but its called heroes of horror, and i gotta tell you it is worth the $29.95! its great! maybe im behind the times and im sure youll all be saying "dude that is SO four years ago" but im...

if you runa good 3e campaign all the more poewr to you! in fact i salute you for doing something i just cant do. my problems with 3e run a bit deeper. i dislike the idea of "feats". seems silly to me. it seems a bit Draon ball z or some other bad anime in fluenced (if you doubt me, just think of...

the interesting thing about the whole tolkein estate deal is that they have a Middle earth role playing system now. and all it really is is D&D....

thanks, i lost my copies of those books years ago. i also had the books her parents wrote about ishi, which is where she got the idea of the dragon wwitholding his name. i thought she was dead. oh well, i stand by my choices.

first off....long live OD&D/1e/2e/hackmaster hybrids! hmmmm this would be a good configuration.. Tolkein/Lovecraft as dual DM's or GARY GYGAX as DM (i dont care if he isnt dead, that would be a great game) players playing classes they wish: Robert Louis Stevenson C.S. Lewis the chick who...

final thought- my group tried to convert to 3e. the combat system sucks and is monty haul as all hell...long live OD&D/1e/2e/hackmaster hybrids!

personal opinion: 3e = anime and video game tainted sacrilege with some excellent ideas that get bogged down in a ridiculous rules-lawyer system that defiles a game that never truly needed to be revised. the flaws were easily dodged around. i agree with you entirely on the other matter, about...

dude, i still run 1e and my halflings arent called halflings, they're hobbits, and they dont wear shoes, and they dont often become adventurers. i stay true to the oldschool. not that im oppposed to newer ideas, i just dont fix what aint broke (love that grammar.)

we were playing with that as a house rule before hackmaster was ever in print. it allowed us to throw more characters into the meat grinder and really taught us how to play well. furthermore, thats a house rule ive ran into several times since then. the rule is merely cosmetic as the basic...

thanks for breaking it down for me. the DM's guide for 1e and 2e is so vague. thanks again. you helped me make an important realization: im going to continue running psionic combat in my own fashion. but i appreciate the help nonetheless! good gaming!

im sorry, shortened your quote by a bit. all the greatest fantasy heroes have been humans, from aragorn to elric (melniboneans are an advanced but failing race of humans, read youre books) to the all the heroes of the narnia series to farfhnrd and the grey mouser. while nowadays its very...

im about 2 and 1/2 hours north of you in alliance, ohio, right next to canton. in north canton we have land of cran comics, and further north in cleveland we have a great store called the warzone. take a looksie.

wow...you should go into marriage counseling... im aware of all this, and in fact ive played about six different methods. i was wondering if anyone had a good walkthrough, such as: P: i attack DM: roll the dice i guess nobody has one, but thanks to everyone for attempts to help. ill...

thats not really significant... the only real major difference is the quirks and flaws table. everything else is minor, adaptation of common "house rules" into actual rules. if you play monopoly with the unofficial rule of gaining money when you land on free parking, your still playing...
