    Los Angeles Gaming Store

    Last Gren is good, that is where I do most of my shopping. Over the hill, on Santa Monica blvd in Soviet Monica is Aerohobbies. Do not go in there if you are experiencing any penalties on your balance check... much of the product is on the floor. Don't expect too much in the way of help...

    Underpowered Guns in d20 Modern (rant, long)

    True, but in the context of the game, a hit may mean a bullet dead center of the torso, or it may mean a grazing blow that barely bleeds. That is the whole point of the hit point system... that luck factor that is the difference between a gaping hole where your heart and lungs used to be, or...

    Underpowered Guns in d20 Modern (rant, long)

    Well, that would explain why, no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find it in the d20Modern book... :o

    Underpowered Guns in d20 Modern (rant, long)

    I've searched book, errata, and FAQ, to no avail. I'd sware that I saw that rule someplace, but I can't find it, so maybe it was a house rule suggested somewhere.

    Army's new mobile laser can shoot down mortar rounds.

    Radar and computer technology has been available for a couple of decades now that can easily determine all relavant data about an incoming artillery shell is a very short (frction of a second) time. I got out of the Navy in the 80's and the Phalanx missile defense system was on just about every...

    intimate...or just friends?

    That depends on whether or not they wear comfortable shoes.

    Underpowered Guns in d20 Modern (rant, long)

    Umm, my book is down in my car, but doesn't the d20 Modern book say something to the effect that archaic armors only count as half AC, rounded down versus firearms? That would make his defence only 19, and much easier for the soldier to hit with burst fire.

    T20 Traveller 3 Vs 3.5 Srd

    MegaTraveller was the version that needed a spreadsheet. T20 can be done wthout such a tool, but if it is available, why not use it? That is a little like using a rock to pound in a nail when there is a hammer in the toolbox. I should say that the spreadsheet version that I used had a small...

    Is the ELH a complete train wreck?

    I've read the epic book and played a little bit, but not a spell caster. I saw no problem with the RAW for some parts, other parts needed "adjustment". I feel that an epic charcter should be able to gain some form of class abilities, perhaps creating groups of ability trees... every 5 levels...

    Stats of a Triple-Headed Flail

    I'm thinking that I would want to bend the rules to get this right: Three-balled flail, two handed melee (martial) one handed melee (exotic), 25gp, damage: 1d8 (small), 1d10 (medium) crit: 19-20 / x3 weight 5 lb. (I insist on writing realistic weights), type: Bludgeoning +2 disarm, can be used...

    T20 Traveller 3 Vs 3.5 Srd

    I would disagree that Clasical Traveller is incomprehensible, I remember having fun playing it, lo these many years ago. I just wish I could get players for a T20 game. :(

    So what would you like from a D20 Future expansion?

    I haven't missed any so far...

    Is alchemy considered magical ?

    Wel, now you know what all those NPC adepts are doing for a living.

    D20 Past = 96 page softcover? Now I'm depressed.

    As horrid as the game rules are, I find it dificult to consider GURPS seriously for anything other than the background info in the source books.

    So what would you like from a D20 Future expansion?

    One thing for anyone getting ready to put out stuff for d20 Future, when the book shows up in my FLGS, then and only then will I actually consider buying it. I never buy PDFs. As far as what books I would be interested in buying, I would say that a good weapons and gear book would be a great...

    Exalted players are security risks!

    You all missed the point. The woman in that picture was armed with a huge sword. Swords are dangerous weapons. The guard was only doing his duty to protect the passengers from sword wielding women.

    [d20 Future/Star Wars] Starships?

    Even advancing the technology up to when I was in the Navy, a fighter was fairly useless agains a ship... unless it was armed with an anti-ship missile. An air to air missile might hit the ship, and the ship might notice (eventually). Even an A - 10 Warthog would be hard pressed to actually do...

    Too many Armor Feats?

    Since I have been thinking about using the UA DR rules anyway... I like that.

    Too many Armor Feats?

    Hmmm, I'd call that a real can of worms, cause then someone is going to say "I've been shotting this gun for 2 levels now, so I should get a free prof for that, too!" In some ways, it looks like realism and cenematic play both lean towards dropping the prereqs for armor proficiency.

    Throat Slit?

    Intent is difficult to guess, and not always relevant. The target is sitting in a chair, either relaxed or trying to relax so the barber can do his job, he is leaning way back, limiting his mobility, in all likelyhood, the barber has a hand on his forehead to position the head for shaving...
