    Polyhedral dice numbering conventions

    I have to agree with the 'all sides add to largest +1' setup. I have seen other formats from the spinner d20s (usually dragged out during a Hanukkah game as, well, gelt is sweeter when stolen from the orcs...) and any numbers. If it rolls, and is random, I don't mind. Personally? I am...

    Iron DM 2012 -- R2 complete, Finals in Progress

    If that is the system you want I would suggest (to speed up the process and get things done) 4 'Quick' rounds of 24 hours/2000 word limits with a smaller item list, THEN making the 'Masters' rounds into a series of 3 rounds based on points and 48 hour runs, eliminating the bottom individual from...

    WHEN are Spot/Listen or Hide/Move Silent checks called for?

    The Best Hider is offset by the Armor Class Penalty, allowing for the Thief to know where to set his specific party members to best effect... but the clanky of armor screws with your checks. Using the 'worst' spotter as the determining factor allows for a better effect as a single spotter...

    WHEN are Spot/Listen or Hide/Move Silent checks called for?

    Numbers I have been playing with since reading the post: Hider: d20 + (best modifier) - (worst armor class penalty) - 1 per individual. Aid Another removes penalty, applies +1. Spotter: d20 + (lowest Spot) +2 per observer. Going to run a couple hundred randoms matches and sums see how even...

    'The Hulk'

    Gods it has been too long since I looked at it :D. Really I do not recall if there is a two-handed weapon that allows you to naturally trip, but the option of knocking opponents prone and forcing them out of full-attack actions for 2 feats is snazzy if you wish to maintain control without the...

    Nature's Role in Your Campaign

    I'm a huge fan of nature red in tooth and claw. Variant weather that causes troubles, fierce creatures, the Fey... In the real world we feared wolves and bears, but people just sort of trounce through the woods in small groups seeking adventure in a world of Ankhegs, forest drakes, and fairies...

    This is a dangerous beast, especially when it turns construct... Turtle of Enormous Girth indeed. I love your blog, and love turtles... So all over it. Good luck with A to Z! Slainte, -Loonook.

    'The Hulk'

    If you go with 8 levels of Fighter and the Dungeoncrasher ACFs you can take both Knockback and Knockdown (qualify for both pretty easily) and 'only' have a Strength of 76... Now now, that Strength is just terrible. I mean, you can go into Epic Levels and be able to grapple with the best of the...

    The Hao Han

    So you have created a 'monk' barbarian? Not really seeing the uniqueness here... It is quite possible that I am missing some large piece, but the ACFs seem to be the determining factor. Other than something to dip into without alignment restrictions to gain a bunch of top-end melee...

    Play-Testing Hold Person

    I do love the fact that a large portion of the community that accepts HP as an abstract system of measuring an individuals ability to continue fighting... Does not like the idea that when an individual is becoming incapacitated their ability to defend against spells and other effects decreases...

    Adding personal flavour to spells

    So they've turned into the genius loci of the poppy field in Wizard of Oz? :) On the spell themes? I do not mind changing up spells at all. Personally I'd much rather use a system like Elements of Magic, but for games in which my players just don't enjoy having to figure out things themselves...

    Marshall dragon cults? Sounds good pardner. Like reading your stuff... Now I just need to figure out how to produce some products to sell on my own site to get the filthy lucre you receive from your awesome items :). Slainte, -Loonook.

    Iron DM 2012 -- R2 complete, Finals in Progress

    Yeah, and then look at your Anthology and notice that most of them are weighing in over 3000 words on the first page alone... You know, all of the 5/5 rated ones? Slainte, -Loonook.

    New Updates over the last few days... We've been pretty busy ;). The First Darkness Primeira Escuridao comes into the world screaming... What do you get for the Far Realms beast that has everything? I look into some of my own personal stupidity regarding worldbuilding... Do not make my...

    Iron DM 2012 -- R2 complete, Finals in Progress

    Meh, win some lose some. I have actually started taking this adventure seed and making it into its own adventure on my blog. I actually get to use all of the writeup I did... I had around 8000 words after I spent my 4 hours on the project, then had to truncate down to what I submitted :(. You...

    GM Confessional: I fudged like a Banshee (just not on the dice rolls)

    I personally have two very different viewpoints... My forum/blogging method of presentation and my in-game presentation. When I am posting to a forum I try to maintain an understanding of balance through the unique language we are all granted by the rules. Forumspeak is the formal RPG language...
