So, an entire campaign where no creatures were encountered but DRAGONS would be alright too?

Ah, of course. I misunderstood. I didn't get that he was playing an actual Conan RPG game, I thought it was just Conan-style D&D or maybe Iron Heroes.

I'd be interested to know what base classes you're using.

It looks like a conversion of Fantastic Classes for Fantasy is on the docket, and we'll have an Advanced Class product soon that does for Advanced/Prestige Classes what Fantastic Classes did for base classes, so if those come out soon enough for you, they will be all OGC.

I seconded them.

I thought true20's magic was based on the system Steve Kenson developed for the psychic's handbook to a certain extent? In any case, I think if True Sorcery can be subbed into True20, Elements of Magic could also be, with little trouble. Just replace the Adept with the Mage and ignore True20's...

And did Adventure into Darkness, his Lovecraftian supers book for M&M, ever come out? I talked to him about it at KublaCon and it sounded wonderfully inventive, with one of the best premises I have ever heard of for a setting.

I think this list is useful for adventure writers, who should keep in mind that casters will almost certain be using spells off this list fairly often. Not all modules I have seen take that into account.

I want to know who does that art! The preview did not credit an artist (which is weird)-- does Louis Porter draw it himself?

Regarding the True20 Mecha rules, they are part of the Mecha vs. Kaiju setting, which I edited for BFG, and some flaws crept into the numbers. If you want to use them, you need to get the errata-- available free at this link: http://enworld.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=7649& I want...

I'll second the nom for RPG Objects. Just a great company.

1) Something is hidden in the city that players will not to find, but make it clear they could be there for months or years trying to find it. Maybe an artifact buried somewhere, or a prophecy that says some kind of special person is in the city. If the city is bustling, they would know finding...

Perhaps skill-based spellcasting, as featured in Monte Cook's "Year's Best d20" compilation, with AE casters and a psionic-like spell point system?

yeah, but not all the talents available to those classes would be so powerful. You could even build a balancing factor into the talent itself. When I did Fantastic Classes , I wrote it so arcane spellcasting was a single talent, but it was built for a class with 9 skill points per level. By...

I think that you're better off having spellcasting as a single talent, then making other talents in the tree things like familiars and metamagic. Then, optimally, each spellcasting class would other talent trees that would be options for pursuing a less traditional path (a wizard with bardic...

To my mind, the best solution is the version of Dodge SPYCRAFT did years ago: You can choose +2 vs. one enemy or +1 versus all opponents. Retains the choice to defend against one specific enemy, as necessary for some feats in other sources, but makes Dodge not suck.

Used to be RPGNow (specifically the EN World store, I recommend), now it is a mix of RPGNow and YourGamesNow.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Lately, I'm starting to wonder if I should adapt that material to regular d20 fantasy. I mean, I think it is pretty obvious in the book which classes are equivalent to which D&D classes, and one could theoretically just use, say, the Disciplined Hero's talents...

Just wanted to warn you, in case you have a spam filter that bounces unfamiliar email addresses, that I am emailing you from my Hotmail account about some things. I am still not sure that all my emails from Yahoo are reaching you, nor that yours are reaching me, so we should probably use the...

This is an old argument, and I hope we won't have it here, but... People want different thinsg from games. Some people want a story. A story is not a series of random events, it is a structured sequence of events proceeding towards a cilmax followed by denouement. The Saga RPG chapter seems to...
