Alas, herein lies the flaw of the whole D20 concept! While it it is easy to learn a new set of rules, since they are all based on the same set of concepts, actually playing different games will challenge the memory of most mortals. Confusion arises because the core concepts are so similar.

Remember: Close DOES count with hand grenades! (And horseshoes):D

If you really need air to air combat with modern jets, I'd say that you have gone well beyond the scope of D20 Modern. Either abstract it, or find a good tactical board game dealing with the subject. If I still had a copy, I think I'd use Air War by SPI for this type of thing, even with the...

Monthly? That’s good. How about bi-weekly? But seriously, I think that this is a good change. I have been very happy with the Polyhedron contents, especially the mini-games. For several years, (from issue 2 on into the 40’s) I got Dungeon regularly but stopped simply because I never had the...

It's not just the movement hit. I'm running a rogue and I never wear heavy armor (or even medium) because of the reduction in certain skills. Although, since I'm the only one in light armor, it is nice to be able to run away and leave the rest of the party to serve as my rear guard, whether...

B-5 boring? Watching a couple of random episodes of B-5 is probably the best way to make the show boring. As has been mentioned, the show has a five year story arc. While I had enjoyed the pilot for the series, I never got interested in the series until a friend loaned me video tapes in...

Just a thought here, do you have the feat Mounted Combat? It allows you to use your ride skill to negate a hit on your mount. Of course, if you do have it and your mount is still dieing, consider popping for some magical barding for your mount. Expensive, but worth it.

I'm working on the SG-1 stuff strictly for my own amusement (well, that and the amusement of my gaming group). There is a rumor, completely unsubstanciated that Mongoose is doing a D20 SG-1 game, but what ever they are doing, they apparantely plan to use D20 and not D20 Modern. I am also...

I'd love to see a Dark Matter mini-game! Masque of the Red Death would be great as well! I would also like to speak up for Al Qadim. If it can't be done properly as full on hardback campaing setting book, then at least a mini-game would be something. Somebody mentioned the idea of an yearly...

Someday I hope to learn that my humor does not carry over into message boards. Yes I have seen a few episodes of SG-1. A friend with a VCR showed me the first few shows from the first season. A couple of the local libraries have a video tape or two as well. Where I live there is no...

I've taken the Soldier and the Gunslinger and merged them to create a sniper. Haven't fully tested it though...

You left out none of the above... I'm working on a Stargate SG-1 type game.

But when he said that, he was refering to the flexability of the system. Like Pinnacle's Wierd War 2, being able to create a core class (or five) that a character can start in at 1st level allows a writer to spread abilities over 20 levels rather than try to say a character has to go do...

This thread is too interesting to leave it languishing in the dim recesses of the message boards. Since I have given thought to creating a "Silk Roads" flavored campaign, the info here on a possible Egypt-like area for one terminus is very useful. And by the way, I like the idea of gnomes as jinn!

I'd like to address some of these issues. In a game I am currently playing I am running a martial artist (actually an inkyo monk from Rokugan) I started at 1st level, and I did indeed plan the characters feat progression to achieve mastery in one of the Oriental Adventures Martial Arts Styles...

I'd just like to pop in with my own two cents for robust rules. I like the AoO rules, and I have not seen them to slow down the game, once folks understand what they are about. If the DM or players do not know the rules, then it is just as bad as ANY time the DM or players don't know the...

Consider this little tidbit of info: Extended Range Munition [ERM] XM1007 Tank Extended Range Munition (TERM) Extended Range Munition [ERM] is a new concept (endorsed by USAARMC) for extending the battle space beyond the current 3 to 4 KM max. line of sight range, by allowing engagements...

What edition of Runequest was out in 1981? That was my only experience with the game. After playing for a short while I left, never to return. In fact, the biggest reason that I had never played Call of Chthulu was that Chaosium was using the same basic gaming mechanics. However, I would say...

If enough people complain about the complainers, can we get the annuals back on track? While I can understand some of the comments refering to #5 as a giant advertisment, I say that it did a very useful service just the same. With the vast number of publishers out there, very few gamers have...

I must admit that I was a little disappointed with the armored fighting vehicles selection. Too few, and not writen up as well as they could have been. As it stands, a fireteam with 3 LAWS rockets is going to kill an M1A2 Abrams tank in one round. (10d6 damage, average is 35, penetrates 10...
