For me? No. I buy what interests me. If a book I really want is 35$, I will pay 35$. If it's 50$, I will pay 50$. If it costs 100$, it better be something I really want, but if it is, I will pay 100$. In other words, I buy based off interest, rather than price. If every book in the...

This thread has entered my {Deleted for the sake of Eric's Grandma} hall of fame. On the plus side: Congratulations Tysr. You were on this thread from almost the beginning, and you managed to stay polite, reasoned and well spoken throughout a *ahem* dubious and touchy thread. So, [golf...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: I am with you Tsyr You've got to be kidding me. Kidnap, abduct, abscond with, steal, swipe, etc. Any way you slice it, the party took an innocent person hostage simply because she was related to someone their associate had already wronged. They tried to use a...

Please do. I'm curious to see what you come up with. Patrick Y. :)

Hey SHARK; The things you describe are, I think, the writer's essential conflicts. For myself, I've set myself to this wavelength. I work to please: Myself My Editor The Audience The Critic In that order. I do it for these reasons: If my work inspires me, it flows better, it's more creative...

:) I lay waste to alignment restrictions like Conan lays waste to snake cultists where concept is concerned. Plus, the monk bits could easily be substituted with Fighter levels, so long as the fighter feats were concentrated on boosting unarmed combat. Patrick Y.

Actually, that would be sorta cool. A paladin, on his own redemption quest - grizzled, battered, his faith beaten but not gone. He's partnered with the last member of the "Brotherhood" squad he oversaw, an immense, grizzled ogre barbarian/monk (unarmed fighter sort) and, despite themselves...

SHARK; How goes the writing man? Is it easier or harder than you thought it would be? Are you nervous? Just curious. Also. I had the weirdest D&D dream last night (a symptom of scrambling to meet 7! deadlines for D20 stuff this month), and it reminded me of your campaign world. So, anyway...

Per the first post, they didn't "trust" the girl at all, she "wriggled free". Beyond that, it doesn't matter if this is a conflict between Law and Chaos. In D&D alignment land, Law and Chaos, Good and Evil go hand in hand in defining one another. No one is just "Lawful" or "Chaotic"...

Say now....... that's pretty cool. Patrick Y.

My problems with the 3E Ranger class have always boiled down to this: The Ranger is the macaroni & cheese of D&D. Perfectly functional. Perfectly bland. For me it's frustrating. The Ranger's mechanics are solid and workmanlike. They just aren't exciting. Which, for me, is the kiss of...

Glad you like it. Patrick Y.

I've got to agree on your opinion of Song & Silence. I was actually shocked at how little effort was put forth for the bard class. 1 PrC (two if you count the spy fella), a few feats and a discussion of musical instruments does not a "bard" book make. Of all the WotC splat books, this was the...

Hah! Small world. That's were I bought my copy of the BoVD. They kept it behind the counter and wouldn't let me open the cover in store, as there were several minors about the place. Didn't bother me too much. He didn't card me though. Perhaps it was the presence of the wife and two...

I haven't purchased the Quint. Witch myself, but the spell list might well include spells taken from 3rd party sources, which would explain the presence of "non-existant" spells. Patrick Y.

Well, I suppose the thread has hit the point of diminishing returns.... But, If I could just change one thing, it would be this: I would take 3E back OUT of the dungeon. In other words, I would have, from the beginning, designed 3E around the idea of city/world/all-inclusive campaigning...

I'm gonna do my best with the Q. Sorcerer to bring in stuff from multiple cultures. Personally, on the "Crunch vs Fluff" (man, I hate those terms) debate, I tend to err on the side of useful fluff (dense fluff, if you will). With the MASSIVE amount of mechanics available, particularly where...

Borrowed for two weeks, huh. Yep. You've got players like mine. "Can I borrow it?" "Sure, just make it for less than a month this time, mkay?" Anyway, I think the Character Concepts chapter of the Quint. series is definitely the most love/hate section. Personally, I like the idea, but I can...

Well; I study/teach Lohan Chuan and Li family fist (one of the innumerable Northern temple styles) from the 33rd(?) generation inheritor of the system. I've also spent (some would say wasted) thousands of dollars on imported HK movies, anime and martial arts books. Oh yeah.... I also shook...

Yes indeed. Welcome aboard the dream project express, my freelance brother! I have extraordinarily fond memories of Star Frontiers. Back in the day, my friends and I played it FAR more than we played D&D. My perpetual character was a Vrusk gunslinger armed with a needler. Beautiful...
