I'll have to try that, it actualy sounds cool if I want to play a more stealthy, combat durid type. And I get more spells! :) For all editions of DnD, this is the one thing I don't get with those who love the game so much. One minute, people want an "offical" this and an a "offical" that, as...

I don't give 1E. flack for that concept, I just mention that if they applied that to 3e, then they would find that the latest edition is no worse or than 1e. :) But hey, it's only a game, play what you enjoy.

Re: Re: 3e... good for players, more difficult for DMs IMO one of the biggest campaign decisions is how to handle "newly published material" and that is nowehere more evident than PRCs in the glut of PRC publishing in the last several years. [/B] I think this is something a lot of DnD only...

I would perfer SC, but you have to tweak the "hacker" class to be more of a scientist.

Actualy, I'd offer to GM unless there is a big age difference between the DM and the players. If there is going to be a newbie DM going out on his own, then I would suggest the Quick-Start versions of the White Wolf WOD games. The modern themes are easy for a new person to get their head around...

As compared to every peasant being 20th level in 5 years in 2nd ed.? Use what every in-game reason you want, that argument does hold much water when comparing a level-based system vs. a level based system. Now on to the "how fast is too fast?" Acutaly I played in a 2nd ed game that had me in...

While not on this board, I know of a female GM who runs her game in Brazil. She claims that while it's not a big deal to have female gamers at the table in that country, it seems that being a female GM gets the "Uh, its a girul!" repsonse. If I remember right, her history is that she was a...

I used to play in a large LARP that was run over the weekends in an empty dorm. I also helped run a LARP that involved no less than 5 locations, (the sponsoring game store and 4 private residences.) I don’t LARP any more. While I didn’t see any more “freaky” people than usual (all the LARPers I...

In short, "Welcome to DnD Fantasy."

Hmmmm. I just saw a "quick death" recently. I am playing a d20 version of Farscape. We had a teenager who begged to play, but wanted to borrow an old PC sheet from my stack former PCs (the game is run at a game store and we have a lot of on one-hit wonders). So I let him have a PC sheet. The...

Or go OGL like Mutants and Masterminds ... They have an optional rule where you split up BAB into three combat skills and Defense into two defensive skills. Then you can have a character who can only improve when he spends skill points. Acutually ... In character creation for MnM, you have to...

I know that it has been discussed on the fourm by MnM crew about how customers want to see powers detailed in future supplements. I think the general consensus was that everyone wanted complete breakdowns on any unique powers to see how GR put them together, but standard stuff should be short...

But if you do that it takes away an "advantage" of the psions.

Car Wars A great game that I spent HOURS on. I also had my first realization that GMs and players may not agree on what constitues a cool game with the CW rpg supplement (I bought GURPS solely to run Autoduel.) I started up a campaign envisioning knights in shining chrome, I got thugs and...

Then you will be interested to know that as Alternity was being shut down, that WotC's biggest plug to Alternity players was "The new edition of DnD has borrowed a lot of concepts from Alternity, give 3e a try, you'lll feel like you're back home." The "use one die mechanic (based off a d20) for...

Actualy Mongoose currently has 10 overdue titles, many as behind as Paradigm's Eldest Sons or the Mindflayer book. From what I have seen most rpg companies are behind on their releases dates. It's what happens when most of your crew has day jobs. The Paradigm's Interlink series' deadline...

Just curious and since it seemed that thousands responded, I assumed some of those voters are here. So what was your answers to 1.) How will the use of psionics in a setting affect your purchase of the product. 2.) How close do you hew to the DnD psionic rules 3.) What rules mechanic (level...

Yes, we have to consider why Mr. Gygax never seemed to translate that flavor to his rules, despite drawing his own writng style from Mr. Vance. If anything, G.G.'s "Vancian" magic has turned me off from wanting to read any Dying Earth book, an affect I am sure he didn't intend. Quite frankly, I...

The three questions focused on: 1.) How would including psionics in a campaign world affect your purchase of said product. 2.) How close do you hew to the published PsiHB rules. 3.) What sort of rules system would you perfer to support psionics (level-based as in PsiHB, skill-based as in part...

But as some have pointed out on this thread, most GMs don't bother with even costly componets and I haven't spell casters get grappled much, if at all (I personaly spent 16 levels as Druid and was never grappled once.) This thread proves that in practical terms, this advantage is moot more than...
