Hrm... the secret of immortality, at the cost of the immortality of the Fae? Humanity wants it? Check. The Fae don't want it to happen? Check. It has the potential to be a world shaking event? Check. Can I think of all sorts of fun things to go with this? Oh yeah. Definitely check. Why...

Find a game system you really enjoy. I started out DMing a few one shots for DnD, but never really quite got the hang of it. There was always something to fantasy worlds that left me with disbelief. Then d20 Modern was released. I convinced my group to give it a try, and it turned into the...

I'm working on a batch of plots for a game I'm planning on running in a few months, and amidst brainstorming I came upon an idea based on the Prometheus myth: some powerful Fae has decided that now is the time to reveal a secret/impart a gift upon the humanoid races of the world. Unfortunately...

While not exactly what you're looking for, Everyone Else is a book I've had success with. It's more of a traditional NPC encyclopedia, with statted out NPCs for everything ranging from tailors to merchants to blacksmiths. It's very useful if you need NPC stats and just don't want to do any of...

I have a different approach to this question. Rather than positing what large groups of people would do, look at the actions of individuals, and then extrapolate. So, without further ado, if I was living in D&D world as a commoner, here are my reactions. I'm immediately more likely to trust...

Yeah... him... ;)

Shemeska, I've just spent the past three days reading through the entire story hour up to this point, and it's been an absolute delight. Bravo! From the crushing evil to Amberblue's piratey "Aaarrrrggghhh" of recent updates you've had me the whole way through, either in anger at the 'loths...

I've been away from ENWorld and gaming in general for a long time, but a new friend of mine heard that I used to run games and has been bugging me incessantly to do another. A few days ago, I finally decided I'd give it a shot, and I've been working a bit on a setting and background while I'm...

Wow. It's been a long time since I've been on the boards, but I still remember Angelsboi from threads years ago. He is missed, but I'm sure he's in a better place now.

Finally finished reading through the whole story hour to date. Took about a week of on-and-off work. But, I have to say, that was AWESOME. Absolutely, completely, amazingly, freaking awesome. Major kudos to you and your group for being able to both hold that campaign going and getting this...

Hey Serpenteye, unfortunately it looks like I'm going to face a veritable avalanche of work in the upcoming weeks -_- So I'm gonna have to sit this one out, though I look forward to reading!

Wow... I drop all the boards but the D20 System board for a long time, due to general business and college starting, and this evening I scroll down on the first page and find this in the "latest threads" collum. What can I say but it's good to see you around again serpenteye, gw, lichtenhart...

Probably the only thing I'd change are some of the weapon descriptions and the construction system for vehicles (in general, including mecha and starships) to mesh better with my setting, but I'm working on that already, so no alternative just yet... but give me a few weeks and when I'm done...

Just wanna say I absolutely love d20 Future. It's seriously the best thing since sliced bread (and d20 Modern, for that matter). Of course, it helps that I've always been a complete Sci-Fi addict. Honestly, I think people just need to use the book like it was meant to be used. Like others...

Actually, iirc, it would be a bad idea to have moons close enough to jupiter (in its present state) to be warmed significantly by Jupiter's radiative output. Each planet has a so-called "Roche Limit," which is basically the closest a moon can exist without being torn apart by the gravity...

Wouldn't it be really fast and easy to implement a "Defense adjustment" equal to twice the difference in PLs from the attacking weapon and the armor? I.E.- PL 7 weapon attacking PL 3 armor (the armor would receive a -8 modifier to defense, or up to maximum armor defense modifier). So, if the...

After the ancient gods abandoned the world, the clerics and paladins etc... began drawing their power from "spirits of the land." These are fey-like beings who are lower on the divine hierarchy than most true gods, but still possessing a level of divinity. These spirits are usually tied to some...

Hrm... that's an interesting thing to think about. I think what I'll probably go with is that the intelligent undead retain their (Ex) and (Su) abilities, but no spells or spell-likes. That would ensure the proper sort of "magic denial" i'm going for.

Taneel BrightBlade: Iono about an epic blackguard. I'm looking more and more towards the idea of Havendash being an "active" antagonist versus Death as the "passive" antagonist, and that would require an eventual face-off with the PCs... Humanophile: Death is certainly a LN type, and Havendash...
