    Poison! (not the band)

    Hey, here's something wacky I worked up. I never liked the way poisons worked with the whole INSTANT effect, you feel fine for a minute and BAM you're in pain. I always thought it'd make more sense for it to work in a more gradual way. So here's what I did one bored day. Questions, comments...

    Brainstorming a Mix of Editions

    Here I plan on brainstorming the Real Ultimate Edition of D&D. Ok, not as ultimate as ninjae, but pretty ultimate. Yes, this is primarily for my use. So my work will be angled towards how I see things as opposed to making it "everyone" friendly. However, I figure someone might get some use out...

    Ideal First Adventure

    Humanoids are the best encounter for any level of play! Ok, maybe not the best, but good ones. 1st level human commoners are pretty wussy, but they can make fine thugs or bandits. Ya know, not the professional Robin Hood bandits, but the ones that just can't squeeze enough out of their farms so...

    5' Step Ready Rule Proposal

    Ooooh, I get it :o I didn't realize that after you readied an action, you couldn't do anything else for the round. I gotcha now :heh:

    5' Step Ready Rule Proposal

    I was thinking that the archer could ready his action before he took his 5' step, as the first thing he does on his action. 1. Archer readies 2. Archer steps back 3. Archer's move triggers Tank's move. However, Archer hasn't shot yet, so Tank doesn't get an AoO yet. 4. Tank's move triggers...

    Gambling

    lol funny you should mention those two classes, as paladins are PrC's IMC, and sorcs are removed :D On a serious note, I could certainly image some sly devil walking into a casino, flipping a silver piece, and one of the bouncers decide to keep an eye on him. That kinda guy just looks like...

    Role Playing in China

    I'd certainly recommend the 1E OA. I assume you have the 3E one, and that's fine, but the two books are diferent animals. And as I always find true about 1E books, there's more in there that my little mind wouldn't think of as opposed to just a bunch of plugins for 3E. I'm sure 1E OA is like 5...

    5' Step Ready Rule Proposal

    Sounds interesting, lemme see if I understand... Tank and Archer are in melee, and Tank readies a 5' step to follow. Archer's Initiative: Archer readies 5' step away if Tank follows. Archer takes 5' step back, and triggers Tank's 5' step. Tank's 5' step triggers Archer's second 5' step back...

    Ever play DND on a plane?

    I actually have played D&D on a plane, a full session even! It was on a flight from LA to China: a 16 hour flight. We just rolled dice on the little trays on the backs of the seats in front of us. Instead of minis, we used good ol' graph paper, pencil, eraser, and imagination. Other people...

    Gambling

    This is straight out of my tome of houserules. Note that IMC, Charisma represents luck. Gambling Game of Luck: The gambler chooses the amount to bet and the odds. The gambler rolls 1d20 plus his Charisma modifier and has to beat the DC set by the house. The DC 1d20 plus the odds. For example...

    Archer/Duelist Core Class, anybody got one?

    Well, here's my Duelist core class. I never really used it, as it was created for a campaign which was denied to me by the military *sniff*. Anyhow, here's what I've got. I tried to take out my campaign specific stuff and make it more generic to D&D, but I'm sure I missed something. Duelist A...

    Post Your House Rules

    My copy is a .wps, that's a MS Word Processor, not a good ol' Word file. If you want me to email it, I can. Oh, and if you can't read that format, I can put into WordPad, although the formatting will be a teeny bit off, and the ToC and index won't be right. Thanks for the interest! I'll email...

    Do/Would You Buy Old D&D Stuff?

    I just bought an '85 copy of Lankhmar: City of Adventure, as it's something I've always wanted. That map is sweet! Am I alone in my interest in old stuff? I'm also thinking of selling my AD&D collection, but if there's no interest, I'll just donate to a library or something.

    Post Your House Rules

    For my campaign with my advanced players we use a good sized book of my creation, and the 3 core books. Nothing else. In a campaign that didn't use my standard players, I'd just play with the RAW to avoid confusion and hurting the feelings of people that have spent their money on various...

    Recombinant Rules & Acquisition Cost

    For now, I just wanna say that this is very cool :) I've always liked the things you've posted, but I've never really been able to figure out how the magic system all ties together. Keep it up!

    High Int but low Education: How do you play?

    High Int and low education: Prolly a lot like me IRL :D (Watch it in action as I try to explain myself!) Basically, I don't know much stuff compared to people that went to college, or even took advanced classes (or finished) high school. Put another way, I don't know many facts. However, I have...

    Looking for a Game in Evansville, IN Area

    Hey, you caught me right in the middle of moving =) Sorry taking so long to get back to you. Yeah, Huntingburg is ok, but not what I'm used to (San Diego). It's a shame you're too tied up with work to get around to playing, but I understand. I haven't tried any gaming stores in Evansville...

    3.5 Adventures with Trolls in?

    I wrote a layout for an adventure that featured trolls when 3E came out. I submitted it to Dungeon Adventures, but it didn't get accepted. Well, it did, by Chris Perkins, but then the other editor, Chris Something, saw it and didn't like it :(

    Should I sell the old RPG books that I don't use?

    I've begun selling my old RPG books I don't use anymore on Ebay. My biggest problem is like you described: the fear of selling a book I haven't used in 10 years, or ever, and then suddenly needing it a week later. So it's slow going while I pry myself from the dusty tomes I never use. Certain...
