    Shopping for a new magic system

    The systems I know of. Spell points. Wizards even has their version of it (SRD has it for free). AEG's Magic has its. Wizard's version is similar to the way Psionics is done. Psionics. Call it magic instead of psionics. Now magic comes from one cource. No arcane or divine garbage. And with...

    No Prestige classes allowed

    I stop using them in the games I run. I don't get too much complaints. I do allow in their place more core classes and feats.

    Question About Combat in 1e

    A few weeks back I was at my folk's, where my old ADD and 2e are. I was flipping through the ADD DMG and was surprised by how many combat rules I (and everyone I ever played with) ignored and never used. I though I was reading 3e with manuevers like flanking.

    Sons of Grummish, question: PC lvls

    My group is two sessions into Sons of Grummish. We ended tonight's game at the orc scout camp site. My question is what levels were PCs throughout your games of SoG? PCs started the adventure at 4th level. NPCs at 3rd and 4th (used when a PC can't make it). Looks like everyone will be up a...

    Beef - WTC price gouging Canadians

    dollar and Amazon You could bet, but you'd be wrong. Free-trade = no custom duties. The C$ isn't going to drop, we have to much energy here and the US$ is in trouble. The C$ would only drop if Quebec voted in its seperatist party again (which it could) or the US$ stopped its drop (which isn't...

    Beef - WTC price gouging Canadians

    I've been to the UK. I know the pricing of everything is not fair. A CD is priced at the same number there as it is here, except the Pound is worth well over double a C$. Everything is expensive there (but I do so love London still. I would live there if I could). As others pointed out. It...

    Beef - WTC price gouging Canadians

    I was reading the Tome of Battle review and saw this. Cost: $29.95 ; C$39.95 Current dollar value has the US$ only about 12% more valuable. Printing costs are cheaper in Canada (unless printing is done in a 3rd or 2nd world country. Then it's MUCH cheaper still). The mark up should be...

    D&D Archetypes that are missing from the core books?

    My own list. Most have been said by others. Others I would have in a list have been covered by PHB II. 1. Assassin 2. Monk returned to being the traveler class from the far-east 3. Another traveller class, Arabic in nature, part scholar, part diplomat. 4. Noble/Merchant (might work better as a...

    Elves don't Dream

    Where in the Wild is Gildor Inglorian? I once wondered why elves don't sleep. My research led me to this essay from MERP. I also like the idea that elves do sleep. Where in the Wild is Gildor Inglorian? (abridged) - Michael Martinez full essay...

    What is THE iconic Gnome Class?

    Considering I don't like 3.5 vision of gnomes. I prefer to see them as either, a cousin of dwarves who special in magic magic items. So gnomes would be the dwarf of most mythos of dwarves, since dwarf in D&D are all Gimli (no complaints mind you!). Or I like them as another forest fey, with the...
