    E6: The Game Inside D&D

    Disclaimer: I don't play casters in d20 because this kind of stuff is just a hassle... Ummm... congratulations? I don't know quite what you're looking for. Could someone do that? Well, I've got no clue. Would a DM that's running an E6 game in the first place _allow_ that? I'm thinking it's...

    Pathfinder 1E What is Pathfinder doing about multi-classing?

    I'll have to start checking your blog then. It never occurred to me that you'd be posting stuff there. I'm still kinda in the "ENWorld is a forum" mindset, and haven't looked much at other folks blogs. Yeah, that sounds like the kind of monster hotness I can _seriously_ get behind. Adamant's...

    Pathfinder 1E What is Pathfinder doing about multi-classing?

    I'm not sure it's really worth forking this to an entirely new thread, which is why I'm asking here... How much of this (multiclassing), and some of the other little tweaks and bits floating about are you thinking of folding into your Trailblazer thingy? Are you thinking of tossing the whole...

    M&M for Fantasy

    And for those of us out there that have decided to stay with 1st Ed M&M, there's always Monsters and Mayhem: A Fantasy Toolkit from Cracked Mirror Publishing. I haven't had a chance to run it yet, but it's nice to have. Yes, I realize there's nerd rage about paying $10 for a "playtest"...

    The gaming group's divorce is finalized

    I might be missing something but... Why not just alternate games with the guy? I do that right now. I'm running a Witch Hunter: Invisible World game, and one of the other guys is running a Star Wars d6 game. Back when I was running my BESMd20 game, I'd run it one week, and another guy would...

    [Non-d20] Witch Hunter: Invisible World - my impressions

    I think this will be the last update I do to this thread. Sunday I was finally able to run Witch Hunter again. The game had been put off twice now, and folks were anxious to play again. We were down 1 person (player of Chuchix the Aztec), but since the player from Phili drove up (he lives about...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder BETA - Some Sizzle, Not Much Steak

    Could this thread actually be about Pathfinder? If you want to argue about 3E/4E or argue semantics, that's fine... just do it in a different thread so that those of us actually interested in the actual premise of this thread, "Pathfinder BETA" can actually read about it?

    E6: The Game Inside D&D

    Errr... not to be a wet blanket, but would it be possible to fork 4E "E6"/"E10"/whatever to a different thread? This particular thread is pretty focused on 3E, its mechanics, and how to get a pretty specific style of play out of 3E. I don't know 4E, but from what I've heard the mechanics are...

    E6: The Game Inside D&D

    I played around slightly with psionics in my E8 game, but I was using the Psychic's Handbook from Green Ronin, which goes with a skill based approach. It worked out fine, but it's not like it really got hammered on seriously.

    Call of Cthulhu Saga Edition ;)

    I will note that Jason Kemp went to an awful lot of work to come up with a Saga inspired version of Sword & Sorcery rules. It's called Fantasy Concepts, and his s15 in the OGL is a monster. You can find it here: http://www.lulu.com/content/1444818 I don't have Star Wars Saga, but I do have...

    Something I've Never Seen in an RPG System

    Unless my reading comprehension is completely shot, the d20 Lone Wolf already had something pretty close to #2. Some effects/spells require Endurance to be spent. If a character is quick enough, they can try and counterspell. It requires them to expend the same amount of Endurance. Endurance...

    As a player, how would defense rolls work for you (rather than DM doing atk rolls)?

    I recently finished off a year long game where we did opposed Attack/Defense rolls. Player rolls to hit, adds BaB and modifiers. Critter rolls to defend, adds Defense bonus. Whomever rolls higher succeeds. And of course, players rolled their defense just like critters. Every Defense roll...

    Pathfinder 1E Odyssey System - "Pathfindering" d20 Modern

    I note that you mention the psionics/spells from "other sources" and that there will be "full conversion details" included. Is that full detail conversion for d20 Modern, or the OGL d20 system in general? I realize that Odyssey is looking to work from the d20 Modern base, but quite a few...

    Epic Fight turns into Epic Farce

    At the end of the day, 99% of people aren't going to change their mind. Some people think death (and therefore save or die effects) is a Good Thing. For whatever reason. And some people think they suck. Neither side is going to convince the other about the rightness of their belief. All...

    Witch Hunter: time for buyer's remorse?

    Looking in the combat chapter, there's a bunch of extra options possible. Breaking stuff, fighting defensively, and so on. Honestly, in my game I haven't used any of that stuff yet. If I've got a player that explicitly asks about it (like doing Two Weapon-Fighting) then I'll take a quick look...

    D&D 4e is pure win and I'll tell you why...

    Errrr... I've got to say, I've seen plenty of attractive gamer gals, and plenty of unattractive gamer guys. I'm not sure what your point is exactly, unless it's "I like rpgs to be a 'guy's club' and women shouldn't bother trying to join". As for the OP's post: I'm glad it's working out for you...
