I've had women in my games for most of my gaming history, but most of them don't have much desire to run a game. Currently, of the four women I game with, one doesn't have time to run a game, another doesn't have the confidence in her gaming skills, another doesn't have the interest, and the...

The important bit of your setting is what actually sees the light of day, and gets used and interacted with. The players determine what's important, because that's what they actually see. You can have all kinds of other stuff, going on in the background, but most players aren't going to interact...

Anybody have any idea how using the point-buy system is supposed to interact with a character with a nonability? I'm in the process of making a maug PC, and wasn't sure how the two ideas worked together. Should I just get 1/6th less points, and not worry about it? Buy it up to a 10, since a...

I thought they did an impressive job with the Silent Hill movie. Good tension, effects, and plot - all in all, it was an excellent horror movie.

They're supposed to be very difficult to permanently put down. That's the fun of the creatures. The PCs knock the last one down, figuring "That's it, we're done." And then they keep taking damage. Suddenly, it becomes a puzzle - what do you do with these bodies that keep hurting you? You either...

Wow, really? That's awesome. I had thought it was going to be a DVD release, in the vein of the Hellboy: Storm of Swords or the recent Marvel comic adaptions. Doubt it'll come anywhere near here, though.

I played a melee-oriented druid that I had quite a bit of fun with. Ended at 15th level, he was a dwarf Druid11/Nature's Warrior3/Fighter1. Nature's Warrior got him Fast Healing while in wild shape and +3 damage to every natural attack. I found it a decent trade for a character who mostly didn't...

Oooh, neat. I used Bryce for some school projects years and years ago. I wonder what it's like these days.

Have you re-seated the processor yet? Might check and make sure the thermal paste stuff between the heat sink and the processor is all right.

If you run right into a wall, I think 1d6 damage would be appropriate, as well as maybe a DC 15 Reflex save to avoid falling prone. I know I fell on my rear when I ran into a sliding glass door a couple of years ago. This also suggests that being drunk imposes a penalty to Dexterity.

The trouble with modeling Batman in D&D is that there isn't a really good martial arts system without the trappings of the monk class. Quite a bit of that class is more mystical than I would personally associate with Batman. If you've got a good Martial Artist type class in mind, though, he...

Arcane spellcasters and artificers can do it with their spells (the Repair Damage spells from Complete Arcane, or the artificer's infusions of the same name from the core Eberron book). I haven't yet found any way for a divine caster to heal a construct, though. I was looking for one, since I...

Alternity's one of my favorite games of all time. It's got a nice, simple resolution system. Levels exist, but they're not all that important - it's more of a skill-based system, by far. IMO, it scales better from personal to capital-ship battles than most other systems I'm familiar with (d20 of...

What kind of encoding are you using, and what program are you using to do the conversion? Nero?

Let's see here. Here's a quick version of a mekillot, a monster from the old Dark Sun setting that was a great big lizard that was used to pull wagons and such. (I checked www.athas.org for the same thing, but the mekillot they had there was CR 12, and thus a bit more powerful than what you...

Similar to Nifft's suggestion, there should be some things that all colors should be able to do - the only difference would be the description of how they achieve the effect. Everyone should have some basic attack and defense spells, or they're going to feel out of the loop. In D&D terms, I've...

I've always liked dull grey ioun stones with Continual Flame cast on 'em. No hands, and you get 20' of bright light.

There are all kinds of problems that even 0th level magic would make much easier to deal with on a ship. Dancing Lights and Message make communication much easier. I'm picturing a system like semaphore with dancing lights, where different colors and movement patterns convey all kinds of...
