Sooo..... What's being done then isn't really "E6", but a d20 variant based on the E6 idea, right? I mean, I really don't see how you've got much of a need for a whole new document; but then again, I never saw a point to those "capstone" abilities that people were always going on about either...

*shrug* No offense, but if I want a "minis combat system", I'll break out a real wargame and play it. Miniatures as an _aid_ to combat? *shrug* Ok, whatever. Up through 2nd Ed AD&D I could see it. Sometimes it was useful. 3.x rolls around and WotC strongly pushes for miniatures, although a...

That's pretty interesting steeldragons. I wasn't sure whether people had (or would) go for the 9 axis or not. In some ways I can see it being sort of restrictive to do the combined good-evil/lawful-chaos on a spell; just slapping either one or the other would probably be "easier". I also...

Yeah. And because it's such a big chunk, I know I'm not going to be able to download it. I got about 1/2 of the way through and my internet connection reset. I've got a datacap (stupid datacaps and no, I've got no choice), so that means I just lost 1 GB of my datacap, since the download wasn't...

Hmmmm. I seem to have utterly failed in my communication, or else the idea is so alien that nobody has done it. I understand magic doesn't have an alignment descriptor. That's not my question. My question is, has anybody tried adding an alignment descriptor to spells? Going back to Fireball...

Errrr... I'm not quite sure what your point is. I understand that as the system is set up, magic is "neutral" and it's people that have alignments. But that's not what I'm asking. I'm asking if anyone has actually sat down and said, "Yeah, you know as a spell goes, 'Fireball' is Chaotic. It's...

Perhaps a bit odd and maybe folks have already hashed this out... Background: I ran 4E for a while and found it to be fine. Some solid stuff in it, with one major problem: I don't like running minis-based games. I ran 4E without minis and it did just fine, but I'm also quite aware of the fact...

Howdy folks, Kind of an odd question, but does anyone know if someone took a stab at organising spells based on the "alignment" of the spell? We've got spells organised by schools and there's even a couple of stabs at organising them by MTG colors. But I don't know off the top of my head if...

To a certain extent, perhaps. Probably more _now_ than it used to be. However, the secondary market throws a big spanner into the works. For example, a fair chunk of my books came from scrounging deals on EBay and other stuff like that. So while the book value is a decent amount for my...

Ummmm..... No. That's not it. Steve Kenson has stated a number of times that he just did the History of Comic Book section for Silver Age Sentinels. Additionally, it's not like a whole bunch of time passed between SAS and M&M. In fact, you can read the Guardians of Order announcement here at...

A bit surprising to me, but 10. Of course, one of those folks would require me taking the ferry to see, which just isn't going to happen. 100 miles in NZ is pretty hefty though. Back in the U.S. I'd be willing to drive that in most places for a game, but here? No. 100k (a shade over 62 miles)...

I own 253 games. It doesn't include pdfs of various things I own. There's a few things that I haven't gotten around to adding, but it's at least confirmed at 253+ :) rpg.net actually has a thing where you can tap into their rpg index. My list is here: Scurvy_Platypus Game Collection - RPGnet...

Two products that I _really_ like but so far haven't had an opportunity to run a game featuring them: Unusual Core Classes: The Spellweaver Unusual Core Classes: The Spellweaver - Misfit Studios | RPGNow.com It shifts magic to being a skill-based system. "Weaves" have a DC. Failure has a...

I realize I'm responding to this a bit late (don't often poke into the Pathfinder forum) but you know... Scroll down to post 29 and you've got a handy starting list to make this happen: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=127740&page=2 A pretty direct way of approaching the idea of the...

Errrr.... you _do_ realize that you necroed a thread that was 2 and a half years old, right? The geocities link naturally won't work because geocities itself has been shut down entirely. Would people have to register at Obsidian Portal in order to see it? If so, that's going to reduce the...

There's very little hard information given. I also have very little inclination to speculate. However we do have a "possibly inflated" number of 6 million D&D players as of a survey done by WotC in 2007. It's mentioned in this article: 'Dungeons & Dragons' fights for its future - Technology &...

I just took a quick poke through and it looks like every single alignment is represented. That is good to know. So often the mechanics are OGC but the names aren't. It's understandable, but can be frustrating at times. This particular instance is one case where simply going with a title has...

Yeah, that's kinda what I thought. I've gotten the strong impression that Paizo is pushing their setting much more than their rules (in terms of "what's valuable" and therefore protected). Which makes perfect sense; it's the whole IP issue that's caused me to be making an SRD and trying to...

Hmmm. I don't have Book of the Righteous, so I don't know either. I looked at the Grand OGL Wiki site that Alzrius linked to and while they have a review of it, they don't have any of the content so I can't double-check. And I'm kinda reluctant to blow $20+ on the pdf without a good reason at...

Howdy folks, a slightly odd question. I wasn't quite sure where to put this, so if it gets bumped to another section I understand. What I'm look for is a generic Pantheon that's available to use as a base. Allow me to explain... I'm working on a fantasy OGL SRD project and as usual the issue...
