    Variant Deck of Many Things

    Here's my variant, that I came up with my lonesome self. Note that I posted this a few months ago in another thread, so I didn't steal it from that guy, I -am- that guy. First of, the reason. I had noticed that my players had too much extra cash laying around. And, for plot reasons, they...

    Joking and Teasing: How far is too far?

    It really really depends on the group involved. Our group does a lot of that too, but there isn't really any one target, we just do it to each other all the time. And since we're all intelligent people, using an obvious "defect" would be viewed as lame, because it's just too easy, and requires...

    Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

    Thanks for the opportunity, but I pretty much accomplished what I wanted. Basically disseminate his reasoning to some of the legionnaires, and try a lil bit to change his image.

    When Players don't respect the DM's rules - Help!

    Well yeah, that's one of the definitions of chaplain. But the point Shaman was making was that such a character wouldn't really work on the game, since they do not go on missions/patrols with units, but remain at the basecamp and do their thing there. Which would sucks as a player. As a matter...

    When Players don't respect the DM's rules - Help!

    Of course, your big advantage in this case is that the game is D20 Modern, set in a historically accurate setting, and in a military unit to boost. Someone wants to play a female character? Well, there's documented proof that there were no women in the legion. Obviously, a 12 years old...

    Do Personal Opinions Of Authors, Etc Dissuade You From Purchases?

    Bid Dummy.. First, note that I think you stated your views in a civil fashion, and I would certainly not -not- buy your products due to posts you made. That said, I need to point out something. You stated that it wasn't right, in your opinion, for people to boycott products from certain...

    When Players don't respect the DM's rules - Help!

    One problem is the "Core only, anything else, ask me first" policy. I know, because that used to me my policy. It's a huge pain in the.. err.. neck. The following is all things that happened to me under said policy. -Players each give a long list of crap they want you to consider. They then...

    what does your DM do with your character when your gone?

    Since we went to the trouble of recruiting an extra player for the express purpose of not having to miss out playing a session due to a missing player, it made sense for us as a group to discuss what to do when it happens. What we came up with is that each player chose another player to play...

    How many dice do you put out?

    I use 2 full sets with extra d6s. And I DM. I make sure I have less then 10 d6s, so I have a good reason to ask players to loan me extra dice when rolling massive damage. What can I say, I like hearing them groan.

    When Players don't respect the DM's rules - Help!

    So... If Normand (my PC in Shaman's game) dies, my idea of a dwarven sorcerer.. is out?

    Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

    Name seems familiar, but I can't say I know it. Of course, I've played so many darn cards game in my life, it's hard to figure out.

    Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

    Oh, btw, beigne (which means donut) is an actual card game. While I really don't think it's necessary to go into great details explaining the rules, it could be useful to know that -the rules are pretty simple -As normand said, it can accomodate any number of players -while it is played for...

    Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

    Alright, I'll prolly roll then. Will update with the results momentarily. And that's pretty much how I was planning on playing it, so we'll go with that. Hit points (1d8+2=6) Ah yes. Excellent. Nah, I'll pass. I like being a buck private. Actually, I'd need to roll a 21, so... ;)

    Wing and Sword: Life During Wartime

    Normand shrugs, and starts shuffling the deck. "Wanna play au beigne, then? Since it works with any number of players anyway." After shuffling some more, he starts to deal. "Me, I don't care much about the politics, you know? But that waiter, coulda been an informer working for our side...

    Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

    Well yeah, a wife giving birth to your baby sorta takes precedence over a game, I guess. :\ :p Oh, here's my levelling up info. I'll take another level of Strong hero. I'll edit my sheet on here later. +1 BAB, +1 Ref and Will save, Extreme Effort Talent, Feat that lets me use the...

    The Blue & The Grey (Cupid & Psycho)

    Ryan smiles widely at the young blonde. "Much obliged, ma'am. We are agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and my partner and I have a few questions that might tangentially relate to you. Have you ever heard of a lady called Michelle Dowling?"

    Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

    I never mind having another character getting more of the spotlight for a while. It usually means more trouble down the road, anyway. :) I -had- realized that Normand's actions/dialogue wasn't very conductive to anything, which was part of why he sought out Ortu. Obviously, the more...

    The Blue & The Grey (Cupid & Psycho)

    "Aye, think nothing of it, pardner. My form of entertainment is a long, hard ride." After a bit of silence, he blushes, which is easily noticeable. "Horses. I ride horses. Aww crap."

    Wing and Sword: Life During Wartime

    Normand shrugs. "I thought I got solitary for keeping those local idiots from ruining the crap out of our raid. If it was for saving that kid, I don't feel so bad. In the end, if he had died, it would have riled up all the wogs even more, making our lives even worse. Think 'bout it, Ortu."...
