    Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind d20 Ideas

    Yes, the traits are sweet and could easily be used for any kind of vehicle or even some type of technomancy construct. Very cool. Are you planning to integrate them into the pdf?

    Proposal for Weapon Speed Factors

    Good thoughts. Perhaps requiring the martial or simple weapon proficiency feat as I mentioned would limit this a little to fighter and similar types. Subtracting from the attack roll may make sense also since it is a d20 roll like initiative rather than the variable d4, d6, d8, etc. for...

    Proposal for Weapon Speed Factors

    I have been thinking on weapon speed factors. That term may be loaded and carry too much baggage. I agree with Sean Reynolds rant: http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/rants/weaponspeeds.html However it still seems to me that there could be a mechanism to differentiate how a weapon handles...

    Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind d20 Ideas

    Speaking of the collected manga could you give the the correct amazon link for what I should buy? I see some used boxed sets which appear to be 4 volumes (like someone described) but then I see other listings for stuff up to volume 7. I want to order it but am not sure which ones to get.

    Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind d20 Ideas

    Thanks for all of your hard work. I wonder if your publisher would be interested in getting a license for a d20 Nausicaa. With the dvd out it should get some attention. You have done a lot of work and with it almost all written it would just be adding official critter names, layout, editing...

    Here it is http://www.lyonstudio.com/d20/d20.htm Click on the Nausicaa link to open the pdf or right click to save the pdf. I just skimmed through it and it looks great! Thanks Erica! If any of you have a few minutes, look around my site at some other d20 articles, articles on sculpting...

    ENWorld Gamer April Issue?

    That makes me sad. I want the magazine not the Mongoose credit. Will the April issue see the light of day? Perhaps as a pdf? It seems like Morris or Ranger Wickett would have noted this thread and given us some input. If they could keep the same level of quality I would switch over to...

    Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind d20 Ideas

    Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind d20 Ideas I had watched a cut US release of this film back in the 80's and it just got released on DVD. It is a must see even if you are not into anime. Some of the dialogue is corny but the imagery and setting are inspiring, Hayao Miyazaki (of the award...

    Gamma World - Thoughts? Review?

    I too (like all of us obviously) like the post apocalypse setting. Gamma World by S&S was a little different from previous GW, more sci-fi, less gung ho and silly. For purists, I agree that Tweets Omega World was perfect. All that said, I liked the latest GW a lot and for me it was just...

    Alternate Combat Rules (house, OGC, and Proprietary)

    What options have been developed out there for more detailed combat (though not necessarily realistic)? I saw a thread about the combat system in Conan and it sounded interesting. What house rules are folks out there using? What OGC and online material is out there? What are some good d20...

    Lg opponent, threatened squares, charge, and AoA

    The example on page 138 of the PHB seems to indicate that a medium creature (Tordek) charging a large creature (troll) would provoke an attack of opportunity from the troll before he reaches the troll and resolves that attack. Is this correct? If so, how can a medium creature engage in combat...

    Archetypal vs. Menu-style characters

    I think DnD should always have the core classes. I find that as the rules become more templates and components the more flavorless things can become. I am a big fan of additional core classes and multiclassing while not so fond of templates and Prestige Classes. At the same time, I like the...

    Animal Friend and Experience Points?

    I asked a similar one a few days ago. Here is what someone responded: The animal companion counts as part of the druid's suite of special abilities, so it gets no XP. Also, the rules would seem to indicate this way also because it mentions in an example that if you defeated a drow wizard that...

    Party Experience Points and an Animal Companion

    My players just finished a session. There are three first level characters. One of the characters is a druid and has a wolf animal companion. The wolf has been an active participant involved in combat, searching, guarding, standing night watch, etc. When I divide up the calculated XP for the...

    Newbie (to 3.0 +) DM - Advice for Sunless Citadel

    Well, we played this past Saturday and things went a lot easier for the pc's than I had imagined and some of you had reported for your players. I let the players generate their characters with the 4d6 drop method. Get 7 rolls and drop the lowest also then arrange. Two of the three players had...

    Newbie (to 3.0 +) DM - Advice for Sunless Citadel

    I will be using a laminated battlegrid with dry-erase markers and miniatures. I am a miniature fanatic. Meepo (who will be renamed) will be a stonger and more central character. In fact, one of the pcs in the party is a kobold based on some rules I have written. The kobold pc is an agent of...
