    Putting Hit Points back into Mutants and Masterminds

    That is why my game is Level 5. :) My main two motivations was that I am converting over a game in progress and I wanted to take baby steps and the other was that I wanted some use from my other d20 book. :) Thanks for the compliment. The sidebar covers most of the stuff, Penetrating Attack...

    Putting Hit Points back into Mutants and Masterminds

    What can I say? I've got too many books with weapon stats I don't want to loose. :) So I went through and summarized all the conversion guidelines from M&M's Damage Save system back to d20's hit points. I thought I would share. Hit Point Recap: Hit points: (Sidebar on page 130) 1d6 per...

    Explaining AD&D1 to new D&D3 players

    "Okay let me get this straight ... Only humans can multiclass, but it is called dual classing becuase you can only have two classes. ... Which class is his favored class? And 'demihumans' basicly apprentice class through out their whole career, but they have limits to those classes and they are...

    How a Hippy Hurt My Party (Long)

    Only if your GM lets you be. I just happily retired a 16th level Druid ... He hardly ever had an animal compainion. (At one point I literally had a herd following me becuase the GM said I couldn't find any really large animals in the forest. Then on top of that, any undead or demons scared my...

    The Vin Diesel Dungeons & Dragons Scholarship

    As does the private school scholarships that allow lower middle-class families to send their childrent to upper middle class middle school. :) Honestly, few scholarships out there offer a assistance need-basis, and they are technicaly called a grant since your academics take back seat to your...

    D20 Shadowrun Gets a whole lot easier

    Well, I just ran my MnM Farscape game at 5th Level. After that, I think Shadowrun would fit right in.

    Mutants & Masterminds?

    Well, I ran my 5th level M&M Farscape game with the hit points and varible damage weapon rules. A week before that, I ran the adventure in the book with the Damage Save system and 10th level PCs. In the Farscape game, I had them make 5th level characters. I forgot to tell them that Super...

    Ambiance? It's a game, not a restaurant

    The worst time I had of it was when I used the Marvel SAGA game for RIFTS. The players wouldn't focus on the game as they looked at the comic book heroes on the cards.

    The Vin Diesel Dungeons & Dragons Scholarship

    A more achiveable goal for the scholarship would be to send in an essay to compete for a $1,000 grant. As for the target majors, one needs to make some arbitrary decisons and stick to them. Personaly, I think a SF/F writing scholarship would do more for genre-related activites, and would be...

    Does anyone here even play Darksun?

    I used to own Mystra, Red Steel, Planescape and Dark Sun. Dark Sun is the only setting I kept and the only setting I bought more suppliments for.

    Creatures that polymorph into humanoid form

    My Lizardman Druid would shapeshift into being human when we were being chased or scryed all the time.

    Things you didn't know about D&D...

    Who now has the successful "Bibleman!" franchise. Even though one would think that is the type of videos that Jack Chick would show his kids, there are plenty of in-jokes that plenty of gamers would get. The last video had nods to "Blair Witch Project" and "The Green Mile." My personal thought...

    Low level games using Mutants and Mastermind rules

    M&M feats are a little different than most d20 feats in that they have been generalized to work with Unarmed, Melee and Ranged combat. Though one melee attack "Take Down Attack" takes Great Cleave to new hieghts. When you use Take Down against Minions, you only have to stop when you miss an...

    Ambiance? It's a game, not a restaurant

    Thanks to the d20 boom, I finally have a collection of d20 rules I like from a variety of sources. Now I just wish I had them stripped of all their illustrations, why? I have found that even though a lot of gamers claim to have a strong imagination and love to fiddle with rules, that a lot of...

    Low level games using Mutants and Mastermind rules

    I agree that if you take the Sigils out of the picture, you can do a lot of the concepts under PL 10. I'm thinking the two Oriental series can be done around PL 8, but most of them can be as low as PL5. In thinking on about low level games, I've decided that my general guideline is going to be...

    Why do you love psionics?

    Re: Re: Why do you love psionics? and C.S. Friedman's Dark sun Rising Trilogy Some of my other thoughts. You can manipulate Psi points. Besides spending them for an effect,can keep them in you to fuel feat powers, store them in a battery, and share them with others. To me, that sounds more...

    why do folks hate gnomes?

    Funny enough, that's what I did assume. Then again, I found the Alchemy/Craft rules for making such items to be clunky and too strict to really focus a character on just be an inventor. It's like they added gnomes to make Dragonlance fans happy and then pulled back on the rules to make the "I...

    why do folks hate gnomes?

    Man, I get this with just the theif class. No matter if I try to play a James Bond spy or Zorro, the rest of the party expects a backstab and their purse strings cut.

    D20 Shadowrun Gets a whole lot easier

    Skills and power suites Well for some of the BAB problems (as a side note it already seems that a LOT of M&M superheroes have lower BAB's compared to DND characters of the same level), there is M&M's Combat Skills side bar on page 28. BAB is split into Melee, Ranged and Unarmed Attacks, while...
