20% experience bonus for all opponents defeated but still living.

I'm a fan of Wolfgang Bauer's work, but I don't like that he calls the setting Midgard. Midgard brings to mind a Norse setting, which this appears not to be. If there's no Odin, Thor, Ygddrasil, and dark ages technological limitations the term Midgard should not be used.

Never thought about zodiacs before, but since my next campaign will be using the Norse Pantheon (with a Christianized spin and maybe a couple of extra dieties and expanded roles of minor mythological characters). Off the top of my head possible constellations could be: Mjolnir Gungnir Huginn...

15' spears historically have often been used one handed with a shield, dnd's rules prohibiting it are unrealistic. I simply used dm's fiat to allow spears and longspears to be used as one-handed martial weapons. The lower damage balances with reach/thrown.

How in the world does it take 2.5 hours to put together a spell list? People always come in with these stories about massive amounts of time required to set up encounters and I just don't buy it. Most of my encounters are run on the fly with absolutely no prep time.

I like. yoink.

E-6 D20 GURPS Seventh Sea Alternity etc.

Why in the world would a GM need anything more than what a player needs?

That doesn't mean the character isn't widely reviled, it absolutely is. There is just something about that whiny little elf that annoys people like me, but there are still a lot of people who like the books. If a million people love a book and nobody else cares you sell a million copies. If a...

Bah, I just dropped the vs. large part of the table. It's too nonsensical.

I love how Ed Greenwood looks like he should live in a cave.

I don't know how anyone who has seen Pirates of the Caribbean could possibly say muskets and fantasy don't mix.

"I've got an idea, everybody take off your pants."

That's my preferred method, always with 24d6.

I don't see a problem with it at all, outside of a couple of tables most of the DMG is throwaway fluff. Does anyone seriously need the DMG to explain to them how to run a game and deal with players? It's all common sense.

GLAAD is absolutely a political organization. I would say the same thing to anyone bringing right-wing religious poilitics here. There are plenty of forums where these subjects should be debated, and I debate those subjects there. I come here for gaming discussions, and only gaming...

How about you keep your politics out of gaming forums?

I don't think there's any chance at all.

I much prefer 3d6, amazing successes and fumbles are way too common with 1d20. I can't tell you how many times I've had an argument with a GM playing Star Wars. Seriously, my blaster has 200 shots. Could you please explain to me how there's a random 1 in 20 chance I run out of ammo every shot?

+1 on Book of the Righteous. You might also want to look at the Proto-Indoeuropean mythology themes, most European myth follows that template. Proto-Indo-European religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
