    Yes they are, my comments are about the lack of moreuas and the psionic Advanced Classes in the SRD.

    d20 Modern: No casters ?

    The only concern I have over the whole idea is that I think WotC with held the AdC (kudos for the abbreviation). is that waaaay to many GMs have a fetish for "offical" stuff as well as this presents a challenge for the whole Living "Yada Yada" RPGA phenenomon. As an example, there is a Living...

    d20 Modern: No casters ?

    Those WotC boys are just evvvvil geniuses! It says in the SRD that only Advanced Classes can have FX effects and even gives all the rules for FX stuff. But if any 3rd party publisher wants to use the FX, they have to build the class from scratch. Imagine DND d20 if WotC had declared that the...

    Spells on index cards...

    The Paradigm Concepts cards are pretty sweet, they include spells from other OGL sources, though the names escape me at the moment.

    d20 Modern System Reference Document available!

    Hmmm it seems the Moreaus didn't make it either Not that I am surprised, WotC has a nack of coming up with stuff I would think is cool and then ensure it's too vauge or needs more polishing before it finally gets into the SRD for a along time. :) *cough* Psionics *cough*

    D20 Shadowrun Gets a whole lot easier

    You may want to wait until Mutants and Masterminds comes out later this month. I think you find your conversion will be even eaiser.

    d20 Modern System Reference Document available!

    Unless I missing something, the SRD won’t have the XP chart or how to assign XP to encounters as well as the SRD considers nifty “guidelines” such as ECL ratings and advice on how to create new races and phrases like “to create a magic item, first find something similar and adjust the price or...

    Primitive campaign setting

    You could also get some stealable ideas from TSR's Jakandor: Island of War. The various tribes in the book have a fervent dislike for Wizard and Sorcerer magic.

    SAS to M&M, FCTF, & Godlike

    The comments about how close or far d20 SAS is to a standard DND game come from people's perception of how much a game can deviate from the original. For example, d20 SAS describes the SAS skills in a d20 format. Some people were upset because they prefered the idea that SAS should have...

    Dragonstar's "Imperial Supply" looks great for any scifi game

    I am currently running a campaign loosly based n Farscape with liberal interepetations of MM critters for my challenges. (A colony of Stirges are nasty to a Leviathan, I also had Skrags try to unionize on their underwater drilling colony.) From that view point and my quick glances, I found...

    Invisibility -- In-Game Explanation for No Attacking?

    I'm impressed. Most of the time I see people just accept DND magic as is. Most seem to care less about the "metaphysics" of the magic and just roll the dice. Frankly, I gave up on explaining how magic works for any edition of DND, though I used to have a DM who christen every new campaign with...

    My lord Earl and his wife the ??????

    I think the viewpoint of the purple heart is that the solider suffered a sacrifice while serving his country. It may not have been the ultimate sacrifice, but it was still a sacrifice. It may not seem logical to you, but it's not about logic. On the logic side, however, there are two things to...

    3e & 1e Ad&d/od&d

    DND 3e brought me back into the fold. That is all I am going to say.

    PC refusing to play a higher level character to start...

    "If you kill me, I'll leave the group! I swear!" That is emotional blackmail, not a behavior I am inclined to tolerate. The funny thing is that if you guys are the only gamers in town, then who is he going to game with if he leaves? Sounds like he'll be in a worse fix than you. I used to live...

    pdf previews of Mutants and Masterminds

    Thanks, the links on the page go directly to the download, so I had to type up the link instead of cut and paste (thats what I get for doing it on my lunch break at work.)

    D20 Modern is out!

    Depends on your point of view. From the WotC boards, I found out that while individual spells and psi powers were tweaked and made more useful (Enhance ability compared to a spell for each attribute increase). The application was the same, disappointing. Some people may like their wooden...

    Demo fight and two characters -- pdf Four "templates" to customize to play -- pdf Two sample characters -- html I think this game is going to be one of those "love it or hate it." I am leaning on the love it side, I'll have to play to make sure Mr. Fidgit fixed my links below

    Looking for advice on Thrid party modules.

    The Spear of the Lohgin Adventure, The Blood Reign of Nishanpur Adventure, and The Bloody Sands of Sicaris trilogy from Paradigm Concepts is pretty good, the average EN World rating for the three adventures is 4.55. Its a low magic, gritty game, but you'll have to take the references to...

    any and all psion sources

    Relics and Rituals 2 DOES have some psi stuff in it. Some of it is a repeat as SS adopts ITCK's Psion varient class as their own for offical SL games. Some of it is new, such as optional fatigue rules to help balance out the fact that few SL challenges have defense against psionics. The other...

    Playing D&D without study or preparation.

    In trying to do games with minimial prep time, I got double whammied when I switched to 3e. The first whammy was adjusting back to a lot of the DND sacred cows, I hadn't done DND in years -- sticking to classless and leveless systems. (3e seems like a comprimise system I could live with, yet...
