It's a tangent, but since you both went there... Phil Reed went and developed a generic version of that system. He went ahead and released this toolkit for free. You can find it here: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?cPath=1678_4322&products_id=50837 It's also here with an additional...

Ask 10 people this and you'll get 13 answers. At the end of the day, "what is D&D" is partially a combination of an individual's personal experiences when learning the game, how they've adapted (or not) the game to their playing style, and that whole fuzzy area of "shared experience" as it...

Mutants & Masterminds is the 800 lb gorilla. I personally like what I've seen of 1st Ed over 2nd Ed. But as with so many things, the people that stay with the older version are in the minority. Silverage Sentinels had some mixed reviews. Some folks really liked it, others didn't. Before it had...

There's also plans for Hero Lab from Lone Wolf to support the Pathfinder RPG. It already has support for the Pathfinder adventures. Taken from this thread: http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/paizoPublishing/pathfinder/pathfinderRPG/feedback/alpha1/general/computerAssistanceForPathfinder...

The game session: I went ahead and chose Storm Tide for the first adventure. We were getting a bit of a late start since we watched the movie first, but I thought we'd probably still be able to get through it. We didn't actually, but folks didn't seem to mind. I'd just like to say that despite...

Character Creation: I think it took all told... somewhere around an hour. That wasn't an hour of hard flipping around and all that either. My wife went to NY for the day and didn't think she'd have time to make a character. I didn't get around to making it for her while she was gone, but she'd...

Well, I'm no fancy reviewer like Crothian (:D) but here's my take: The book is about... say 265 pages after dumping the ToC, Character Sheet in the back, etc. As I make it out, there's a solid 77 pages of "pure" fluff. They've done a pretty good job of mixing the fluff in with the mechanics...

Well, in the interest of putting something a little different out there, I figured I'd detail out a bit of my experience so far with Witch Hunter: Invisible World. Which, at this point is all of one session so far. :) It's not really a "review", nor is it really an "Actual Play". It's kind of a...

I think folks get a bit confused... There's really nothing stopping you from converting 4E stuff over to OGL/3.x stuff. If you're a fan. It's when you start talking about doing some sort of "conversion" and then offering it up in a manner that's beyond, "Here's a webpage with my house rules...

I'd join up (I've actually got both GT and Slavelords), but the few times I've tried PbP have fallen apart rapidly. My own experience has been that it's even more inconsistent than IRC play. I'm sure there's plenty of counter-examples, I'm just saying that for _me_, I don't bother trying PbP...

Errrr... wasn't that what the whole RPGA was about? I never got into it, but I gotta say, the RPGA had a pretty big influence on D&D from what I've seen over the years. Organized Play struggled a bit in the initial stages, but Dragon kept promoting it, and people _really_ grooved on the idea...

One of the things you might think about is using the old Feat Point system offered up by Sean Reynolds to help you build the feat. You can find it here: http://www.seankreynolds.com/rpgfiles/misc/featpointsystem.html If that's the case, I'm not sure that the way you're going about it is quite...

I'm not a rule monkey, so maybe it's obvious to other folks, but would this additional 5' step be subject to AoO? Could they take this 5' move at any point during the round/their turn? Putting it at Dex 13... I dunno. Maybe higher? It seems like all the classes that would be inclined to take...

I was just over there poking around their forums, and I gotta say the style or whatever isn't exactly easy. You have to _want_ to post there. I really think if they changed the style of the boards, to something resembling the forums I'm used to seeing, their popularity would increase dramatically.

I dunno. It's a thing. Right now it's at 36. I think folks are way too worried about whether it's "good" or "bad" and whether someone out there likes it or not. Play whatever game works for you. As a hobbyist, I quite frankly don't care. I actually play games _besides_ d20. I know, I know, I...

Say Matt... do you already have someone lined up to help out on Lone Wolf stuff? That is, assuming you're willing to put it up that is. I gotta say, I'm a _big_ fan of Lone Wolf d20. It really is the _first_ d20 game I looked at and thought, "You know... I could run this, and it'd be totally...

Doh! A Morning Star. My metaphor is totally allowed by RAW. *pumps his fist in the air* Hmmm. It's been my observation though that the "bestseller" argument is being used to "prove" that 4E is a "success". Yeah, "success" is a whole other can of worms. Pointing to the "poor" rating of the...

Nothing that I know of. Savage Worlds opened up their license significantly, but it's not done under the OGL that I know of. http://www.peginc.com/Licensing.html

On the one hand you've got people running around banging their drum about it being on the Amazon Bestseller list. As I'm typing this, it looks like it's ranked #39. Try to point out that you can stack the odds of your book coming up a best seller, and there's even people that offer to explain...

Chances are if you're in the 3.x House rules forum, you already know about Pathfinder. If you're going to try and offer up something, could it be done in a constructive fashion? Like, not bashing 4E? There's already enough edition war crap going on, it'd be nice to avoid it in this forum...
