Hmm, this is an odd one. I bought 7thSea and a lot of that rpg's books- with no intention to ever actually play. However- I have used a lot of ideas from the books for d&d. The only other one that comes to mind is the Epic PH, but the price was too good to pass up. FD

Re: Re: Re: The Sage? Gone? I am very pro-corporation, but I would agree with this. It is such niche hobby, that is would be better served by being outside of the corporate mechanics. FD

I am not sure if that is true beyond fans like us- people who participate in our hobby through this website and others like it. I have some doubts the casual player even notices- last night I had to explain to the two casual players in my group who Gary Gygax is and what he did for d&d...

Agreed! The name Grubb seems to have a strange siren call hold over my wallet. I tried one of those wallet chains, but the call was too strong. :( On a more serious note- I wish all who have lost their positions and their families the best of fortunes. FD

Hmm, well, try to look at it this way- in college I, and others, had 5, 10, 15, 20+ year plans where we wanted to go professionally. All of us took classes and looked into opportunities that would help us achieve those plans. Sometimes life throws you a curve, but then you adjust your plans...

All my players run what PrC (if any) they are interested in, then (if I ok the PrC) I work with them so that it becomes a part of the story. Heck, I help plan the final death of characters with my players- they are not leaves in the breeze of my dm'ng.. they are active participants in the...

look at Confrontation miniatures- some of their figs are really nice. A safe(r) place to order them from is http://www.cyberdungeon.com/ FD

Here is a great site for pics of miniatures: http://www.newwave.org/gw.html do NOT order from them- find another site to order them. Just use them for pics. FD

Re: Re: Do familiars grant "real" Alertness? IMC, I don't let it work towards PrC's to avoid this kind of silliness. For some PrC's it may make sense that they lose their powers when the requirements are lost, but for many of them it does not make sense at all. Alienist is a good one- no...

Decipher publishers LOTR: http://www.decipher.com/lordoftherings/rpg/index.html SAS is silver age superheroes by Guardians of Order http://www.guardiansorder.com/ FD Edit: If you want to read a long discussion on SAS d20, then here you go...

That seems like a good solution to the problem. FD

He should have taken some time to do some divination spells. ;) FD

They could always move their stats so they get healthy ability bonuses to their weak saves. There are also feats that help out with saving throws. A player is only a regular victem to a low save if they choose to be- or they got a cruel dm, of course. heh. FD

Err.. well, many high level creatures have SR to help avoid this. Also- a lot of those high level save or die spells are limited by other factors- range being a big one. A dragon that starts the fight in close range is rather foolish in the first place. I agree with your general sentiment...

I was able to get in without a problem. FD

I am not sure standard d&d is going to work well, but he would most likely be a sorcerer with divine spells- he seems to have abilities even he does not understand. It is unclear if they are unique to him or others could possibly do them. You would probably need races for programs and for real...

Heh, that is the only Star Wars movie I can tolerate- so you may be on a similar track. One warning, the beginning of Tron is a bit slow- so you will have to sit through a bit, but once it gets going- there is some amazing movie making in that picture, especially considering the time. FD

It is about as much sci-fi as Star Wars is- very little science, but still enjoyable to watch. FD

A programmer is sucked into a computer mainframe- to discover an electronic world in there- where programs are living beings. It is a little silly, but pretty cool with ideas. The idea that computer games were like gladitorial arenas for the programs was funky. FD

Re: Sorry about the mess Heh, not your fault. I apologize to KnowTheToe if he took my comment as harsh, but as for others- I just add them to the ignore list. FD
