    LotR: Galadriel Triumphant

    More seriously, I actually used a version of this concept in my Barsoom campaign. The empire in question no longer existed at the time of the primary campaign, but centuries ago a beautiful god-sorceress set herself up as the depraved ruler of a great empire. She tortured and devoured thousands...

    LotR: Galadriel Triumphant

    She certainly wouldn't need the Ring to corrupt me. Rowr.

    Good systems for aerial/3D combat

    I was part of a group that put together a pretty detailed set of aerial combat rules a few years back. They were part of a much larger effort to create a consistent set of rules for universe creation that never quite panned out, but these are more or less self-contained. I'd make a lot of...

    Barsoom Tales II: Romance, Revolution and BLOODY REVENGE!!! -- COMPLETE

    Frying Pan, Fire: 11 "Sorry, ma'am. Only those on del Maraviez business. Move along." Elena growled. "But we ARE on del Maraviez business. We were here just earlier, with Isabella del Maraviez. We need to see somebody." "I'm sorry. I can take your name and see if anyone will meet with you."...

    Barsoom Tales II: Romance, Revolution and BLOODY REVENGE!!! -- COMPLETE

    Frying Pan, Fire: 10 "Isabella del Maraviez will see you now." Isaac tried to look unimpressed with the del Maraviez offices in Cadençia. Arched halls of marble and pink sandstone, golden and bejewelled treasures from around the world displayed in niches along the corridors, uniformed guards...

    Opinions on True20

    Yup. The problem isn't that the rules are bad, it's just really hard to figure out what they actually are. That said, there's a damage track revision that to my mind, is what really elevates T20 into a superior game design. Much simpler, much more consistent, and tons o fun.

    Opinions on True20

    Not sure what you're asking, taky. I have NO inside info on any new rules coming up in the revised edition. There may well be some proposed revisions on the discussion forum but you should be easily able to search around and find stuff. Sorry if I'm misunderstanding the question. Feel free to...

    Grim Tales SRD still available?

    Seriously, just buy it. One of the best books and best rulesets ever. I cannot imagine anyone would be disappointed with Grim Tales. It's FANTASTIC.

    Opinions on True20

    Wait for the revised edition. One of the biggest faults with True20 is the numerous errors and poor descriptions in the text. They are fixing a lot of that in the new edition so I'm sure it will provide a better experience. Also True20 has a very active discussion group that has developed a...

    Barsoom Tales II: Romance, Revolution and BLOODY REVENGE!!! -- COMPLETE

    Frying Pan, Fire: 9 The Inner Sea sparkled as the sun rose above the eastern horizon. Isaac shielded his eyes. Somewhere past that horizon lay the ancient land of Lohan-El, where creatures like Matai Shang and Madame Yuek came from. Were they somehow searching for he and his friends? Would they...

    So, where's Ryan's opinion?

    In the book trade, most retailers have the right to return unsold copies to the publisher in exchange for a full refund. I've always assumed this was also true in the RPG publishing industry.

    Some Additional Swashbuckling Cards

    Oh, good grief. Here we go again. I'll keep an eye on this thread and once the contributions slow down, I'll update the cardset with the best of the best. I can already see some that are duplicates of existing cards, and some that just aren't going to be playable, but there's plenty of good...

    Barsoom Tales II: Romance, Revolution and BLOODY REVENGE!!! -- COMPLETE

    Frying Pan, Fire: 8 "Let's just say we'd like to avoid any Imperial entanglements." The goatee-d proprietor of the dingy tavern regarded Nevid with a grin. "Well, that's no trick at all." "Really?" "Yeah, we do it all the time. How many of you?" Nevid peered through the smoke and haze of...

    My apologies, Loyal Readers, but this week's episode is going to be a day late. Try to hang on for 24 hours without.

    True20 -- Who has tried and it not stuck with it?

    I can't believe you're suggesting that buying my chase rules is a "spare cash" question. This is a NECESSITY, by gad! Curse the slowness of product releases!
