    Modern Fantasy- Golf balls, Homerun Records and Bastard Swords. :)

    Modern science and computers are changing how effieceint sports equipment has become with perfect golf balls, lightweight bats, etc. I wonder what would happen if you put that much money and study into swords, what sort of Masterworked weapon would you get? Or do you think that the thousands...

    When does multiclassing become excessive?

    That was always a beef I had with previous editions, I wanted to play or run my own fantasy world -- Not G.G.'s fantasy world. I like the new multiclass system. But I do view that if you are going beyond 3 core classes, there is something missing. Either the GM needs to set up a new core class...

    Booting a player from your group

    First off, don't give the news on game night. Even if they have played the whole game, it will seem like a waste. Call the day after so they have plenty of time to look for something else to do. The best thing to say is that the PC they made is not working out. If they offer to make a new PC...

    The d20 modern feel

    Things for a modern feel: Modern communication: Even before cell phones, my modern horror games featured walkie-talkies and CBs. In fact, my groups would get around to making "magical talking stones" for their fantasy games after finding the usefulness of these items. The downside to those...

    [ToH] Necromancer made a funny.

    Yes. Wasn't there a Trident of Salad +3 (one for each tine), that was also called a Salad Fork? Anybody from country who been frog hunting realizes this is a double inneuendo.

    Alternity's cybernetics and mutations

    With d20Modern coming out, I've seen a lot of interest in these two areas that d20 Modern doesn't touch. What happened to those great Alternity conversions that used to be on this website?

    Will D20 Modern work for a Stargate SG-1 Camapign?

    Spycraft to SG-1? I think the biggest change needed would be to make the Snoop more of a generic scientist class. Out of the box, d20 Modern may be easier for SG-1, though I would have to make an SG-1 team experienced beyond 1st level, perhaps already in Advanced Classes. The military doesn't...

    Anyone keeping up with the battletech universe?

    What ever did happened to all the cardboard mechs that FASA offered up so poor people could play? Now that was classic Battletech! You pick up the game for $20, it had ALL the rules for the entire game and you could play it out of the box! (Boy, that sounds familar these days). Oh I remember...

    Anyone keeping up with the battletech universe?

    No crazier than standard Battlemech "Hatchet Mech" that was armed with ... a huge hatchet. Or a mech with a huge skull painted on it's bulbuous head. I grew up on Robotech mechs before "Battle Droids" (The "Tech" came after the lawsuit by Lucas Films) came out, so anything beyond a gun or a...

    Will D20 Modern work for a Stargate SG-1 Camapign?

    political observer = politician You've got it. Though a political observer can also include a foreign ambassador, inspector, or even a member of a foreign military unit who's there just to observe. Basicaly anyone who has pull but isn't requried to pull their weight so to speak. Now in true...

    Will D20 Modern work for a Stargate SG-1 Camapign?

    Depends on your definition of military. The doctors who work for the military have rank, but no one expects them to offer up tactical advice. Hmmm Advanced Class / Possible Rank / Function Soldier; Martial Artist / Enlisted or NCO / Infantry, Special Ops Gunslinger; Infiltrator /...

    d20 Modern Psionic may make more sense than it did in DND.

    In regular DND, there is a lot of talk about how different schools of psionics need different attributes, something different compared to what Clerics, Mages and Sorcerers do. In looking at how even the basic classes in d20 Modern are focused one attribute, and how that carries on to the...

    Re: DM d20 using d20M The only reason to get the Agents of Psi setting book will be for new classes and new powers. There will be no rule changes to how Psi works.
