Orc pie. Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

"I did not come here to praise Caesar, just for the yummy cheese dressing." Sorry. Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

Don't sweat it. Budget your character and prioritize her skills. She'll have more skill points later as she gains levels. It doesn't help that, alone, a rogue can have far more desirable skills than skill points. Might as well be a human while you're at it...! Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

Still waiting for the other core books, but I'm enjoying the notion of **evil** PCs. I've definitely had to make some changes to the usual "good guys save innocent village" adventures, but am coming up with some enjoyable ideas. Dark elves and trolls and ogres, oh my! Cedric.a aka. Washu! ^O^

I still can't wrap my head around the generic classes. Modern characters don't have the stereotypes like fantasy ones. Why not a CoC d20 base class, and feats, skills, and prestige classes to customize the character? Now, d20 Anime. **There's** a "modern" genre that would have enough...

I don't think the problem is looting. Adventurers have been doing it for years. He'll have to use the money as his deity (you) see fit. Hieronies is the God of Valor. In what ways would spending money be "valorous"? (We're more familiar with spending religious money in a charitable way.)...

Re: Good points... Yep, EQ RPG's back cover says "compatible with third edition rules" (or something), and doesn't have the d20 logo, or mention D&D by name. My two bits: * One monster per page. * One product. * Color version and b&w version. * Regular updates of new critters. For the new...

I'm seriously thinking of **no longer** buying dungeon maps unless they're PDF. Why? B/c it's a **pain** to store all these hardcopy maps (all of different sizes, of course) -- none of which I can use, since I'm going to be using MK miniatures, which require 1.5" squares. With a PDF, I can print...

Well, there's always experience points. I still think PCs who dabble in this sort of thing should a) go insane, b) enjoy it. (: Cedric. aka. Washu! ^O^

Well, arguably, in the movie Aliens, you had Modern Heroes going against some rather nasty opponents. IIRC, The massive damage rule has you saving against death on only 10 hp of damage. So just make sure the major monsters (not the cultists or even Deep Ones) cause enough damage to trigger such...

In Ars Magica, the mage character is more powerful than other classes, so each player has a stable of characters: his mage and the mage companions. Each game session or storyarc has one player's mage, and the other players' companions. So far, no complaints. (: The storyline and stable ideas...

Now I remember -- In the original days, all we had were the D&D dice: White d20, blue d12, green d8, orange d6, and yellow d4. Those dice would chip and "self polish" themselves like no tomorrow. (: Then came the "high impact" dice, aka. sharpies. And crayons. Anyone still use them? White was...

Washu's First Law of Technology: The first use of a technology will be to duplicate an already existing one. Washu's Second Law of Technology: The first mistake of a technology will be to duplicate an already existing one. I'd like to separate PDF products into two ends of a spectrum: Those...

Now, **that's** a smart idea. Hardcopy publishers already provide web support of their material, including material that couldn't make it (ie. were cost-prohibitive) into the book. This would go on the CD. And this would also prompt the purchaser to actually put the CD into his drive and open...

I've read a few threads about selling game-material CDs in stores, and the results could be summarized in one word: Painful. Customers don't want to buy a product they can't pick up and browse. Retailers don't want to do more with a product than put it on the shelf. Despite how common it is for...

Well, a company could sell a multiple versions of its PDF under one purchase. Each version would be a separate download (dial-ups) or you could download the entire thing (cable, dsl, download managers). I'm already downloading videos of 20+ MB with Go!Zilla. PDF files aren't getting **that**...

Duh... I always thought these sorta dice were standard, but I'm an old timer. What's the new standard? Since I play MageKnight, I'm pretty much switching to their figures. Much easier to transport (and paint (; than metal figs. Can't wait for the 1.5" square / hex battlemats. Cedric. aka...

Well, remember that in the olden (or should I say golden!) days, the amount of XP you got depended on how much TREASURE you got from the creature...! I'm glad that CRs and Levels were based on some rules of thumb: One level per 14 encounters; CR assumes a party of four (?) uses up 1/4 of their...

Just curious if there are any free GM screens on the web, or what web resources (eg. Necromancer's PDF reference sheets) you use for your GM screen, as well as how you assembled it. What with the increase in PDFs, I'm using a binder for reference material, but I'm guessing I'll find a screen to...
