Peredor wordlessly places his hand on Abhay's shoulder and smiles. He pauses awkwardly, unable to properly communicate, and then withdraws it.

So does the 3E Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting: "Some female dwarves of Faerun can grow beards, too, often passing as males among the nondwarves of the surface lands. Dwarven women may choose to shave their beards to match human-style expectations of beauty." Very similar to your text, in fact.

Studying for English earlier in the day, I wondered if certain role-playing games are or could be postmodernist or modernist. Is that a worthwhile distinction to make? Can games fit into literary styles when they are so much dependent on their participants? Are RPGs, by virtue of their...

Peredor rubs his throat, and then flashes his signet ring. He sips the spirits and listens intently to the proceedings, scanning the faces of his comrades to see their reactions.

Peredor steps forward and grabs the man's hand, shaking it firmly and gazing clearly into his eyes. He keeps his expression serene and calm, but maintains his disciplined stance.

At the moment, Peredor watches the proceedings warily. He has been wandering aimlessly for some months now and a few coins would not go amiss but the man's conduct makes Peredor suspicious. The daunting prospect of communicating without words also contributes to Peredor's hesitation.

High Man has noble as its favoured class ;)

The plan was: Just to have high Knowledge skills, and Intelligence and Wisdom. Since he's mute he can't explain what he knows, but is still haunted with the knowledge of how it problems could be solved. I can't think of any other sophisticated and balanced way of implementing the curse.

The idea of Scott Rouse cosplay made my day :D . EDIT: But remember T. H. Lain, everyone...

Does this look good? If not, I was thinking of a mysterious character. Obviously DarwinofMind should read this to check he's appropriate for the campaign, but I'd prefer it if other players didn't know his motivations and backstory: Pereder Pryderi was a model princeling. Strapping...

Hi. I have had trouble following your directions. 1) I followed the link in your sig, but that goes to your forums and not your website. 2) I googled Blue Flame Press and found your website, but it has no details on how to contact you. 3) The title of this thread is misspelt.

Do High Men get illiteracy or Knowledge (literacy)? The document doesn't specify. Also, there are three references to "buying X with skill points", which you might want to change to "select as a trained skill"

Ditto, as long as my inexperience in PbP and living in a different timezone doesn't adversely affect things.

I started wondering about what D&D would look like if it stayed very close to the SECR model of five classes, skill-and-feat-based casting, and powers, and I attached a document I knocked up in fifteen minutes. Now, I know this isn't compatible with some things we know (paladins are in...

Wow, that looks awesome. Have you considered releasing the parts that aren't ripped from SWSE as Open Game Content so others can use them? I haven't read it in depth, but it looks like your spell system is quite different from SWSE's.

One thing I've had success with is swapping animals around - for example, using terror birds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terror_Birds) as horses, and giant insects as mules and oxen. The players still know what you're talking about instantly, there isn't a bunch of names and animal-variants to...

I like this version much better. You still need to clarify what range it is and what action it takes (standard, I assume?)

I definitely like the idea that rushing healing decreases how much you heal - that forces characters to make sacrifices. Having said that, I definitely think it's underpowered. If you make healing so expensive, you'll get the same problem that currently exists with clerics - that one character...

While we're on the topic of writing matters that annoy us, using "i.e." for "for example" or "e.g." for "in other words" are my biggest frustrations :D. Unless MSG and PLZ are the only Q&Z signals to have made it into everyday text messaging... in which case you should have said "a couple of...
