Oh don't worry, he did that too. We weren't in a swamp to sight see, we had landed there as the ship sank.

Our GM loves low levels so much that he uses DMG varient xp system to keep us from growing and then he won't even tell us which varient to make sure we don't how fast we can grow. So far, he's had us on a boat which was lured by a elf looking woman who was bobing in the water. She was an ambush...

I hear you cries about mis used dragons, but please what about the common horse!! We are starting a new campaign and for a breif moment, I flirted with the idea of being a Mongolia Horseman Barbarian. Then reality slamed the door in my face with the memories of our last campaign. In the first...

Dino Hunter? Would that make much sense in a regular game, probably not. Would I care? Probably not! :) I know we are on Mars, but I am Tim Jackson, Dino Hunter! So tell that army to move over, it's just gotten big enough for me to mistake it for a Bronto!

The Aboleth is a pretty nasty customer in a standard fantasy setting, it turned out that it wasn’t that hard to convert it into a space fantasy monstrosity. It just needed help from its little friends. The Space Fantasy Aboleth has the same stats, but gets three new abilities, Telepathy, Curse...

For the benefit of those who might hold delusions that PCs act just like characters in fiction: Fiction: “Captain, there was a small unknown energy signature on the rear sensor screens for just a second.” “It was probably just a sensor glitch, Full speed ahead!” Game: “Captain, there was a...

Thanks for compliement. I have found that OA has some great tidbits for any game, if you shave off the serial numbers. Heck, in further thinking about OA, if you have the book, you may just want to run that version of DnD. Things will be different enough to add some spice and yet, you won't be...

I know you said you wanted to run a traditional DnD game, but with those restrictions, it sounds like d20 Star Wars sounds closer to what you want since SW has Dark Side points which sort of mimic what you are doing and even tempts players to play with Dark Side at first, with a price later. As...

There are lot of "Lite" versions of games that are out there. My two faves are those for White Wolf's Exalted and Lite BESM. Though you will have to whip up some monsters for the combat and both are downloadable from the net. With more work on your part, you could also use a template character...

The term also evolved because no one knew what to call the White Wolf books, they weren't exactly classes, but there were exactly faction books either, especialy since they were tied to different critters.

Energy Blast is only 2 PP/level and you can't reduce the cost of a power below 1 PP. So name the flaw of your choice and have fun! If Gambit can't fire without his cards - even if it is just a psychological/prop thing - then the question I would ask is "Can you steal away his deck?" "Yes,"...

Depended on where I lived. When I was in a college town, Dominos took checks. Where I live now, they won't take checks, but they will take debit card if you warn them over the phone first so they can take down your debit number (this does bring up an idenity theft issue though.) Tipping? Not...

I like MnM's costs 15 points per level BAB 3 points feats 2 points Defence 2 points Skills 1 point Saves 1 point And when you buy feats, you have to follow prequisites. MnM uses a Damage Save system instead of Hit Points, so that even divorces the need for levels even more. If one still...

The orginal playtests with the fantasy bent were more like Fanal Fantasy and He-Man from what I heard. But MnM has optional rules that make things more deadly, such as the amount you Damage Save has been reduced is also a wound penality to all your rolls. As a bonus, here are some generic...

Actualy, if you entertain ideas of using MnM as a generic rules set beyond superheroes as well as some of the optional rules offered (ranging from brining hit points back into the game to replacing BAB with three Combat skills). You may begin to wonder if you will ever need any other d20 book...

Try Codex Arcanis from Paradigm Concept. What you wanted: - gritty or dark fantasy Human gods who allow worshipers of all alignments, so the god of disease is a healer in one town and a plague bearer in the next and the god of oaths is also the god of demons. The humans and their gods...

feats, Super Feats and Power Stunts (which are essentialy feats for related powers) are all 2 points a piece. The "Rapid" feats let you get an extra attack above and beyond the one you already have, so the use of things like Ambi and Multishot combine to give you to three or four more attacks...

Ahh nostaglia. The key will be if one wants to treat the affect of different realities on your abilities in a comic book fashion or something more like the Torg rules. Comic book style means that you ignore such effects unless it is dramticaly appropriate. Perhaps in a more detailed fashion...

Warding magic, hmmmm. Force Field: Affect Others X2, Immunity (Mystical), Limited (Mystical Only), Teleport, Limited (Mystic dimenson) [Source: Mystical] Of course, all of your dragons need to have their power sources as Mystical. Of course, this mean that weak mystical attacks bouce off, but...

I prefer not to be pandered and preached to in the same movie. I don't mind preaching and I don't mind being pandered (it's only a movie damn it!), but not both. :) The strategy definalty shows only short term thinking (buy low, sell high) with only one thought about a bad opening day ... they...
