    Just to clear the air, 4th edtion has been out for a few years now.

    Well, it took me longer than two days to make my first character in HM, but I can make one in about 5 minutes (1st level no frills) to about a 1/2 hour (fully tweaked out NPC high level). But then again I have spent the last year converting 3E modules to Hackmaster so I have a pretty good...

    Just to clear the air, 4th edtion has been out for a few years now.

    Hackmaster could be better organized, but that can be said of almost any game. K&C did make some errors, like the 10 volume Hacklopedia. It was fine for me buying them one at a time as they came out monthly, but for a new GM getting into the game it is quite a burden. The field manual was...

    Just to clear the air, 4th edtion has been out for a few years now.

    Well, that may be true to a certain extent, but not totally. HM character creation is front loaded. 3E character creation is ongoing. In HM you get Talents at Character creation. In 3E you get Feats as you go up in level. In HM You get the class(es) you start out with (except Dual Classing)...

    Just to clear the air, 4th edtion has been out for a few years now.

    Hackmaster is a blend of the best of 1E & 2E with several key rules thrown in. Crits & Fumbles. Building Points for Character Creation. Honor (Started in OE, but greatly expanded). Armor & Shield Wear & Tear. A very much improved (Over AD&D) Skill, Talent, and Proficency system. The 20 HP...

    Does Hackmaster have level limits like AD&D?

    Absolutly there are ways around them. And unless you are playing sanctioned you can ignore them. However if you do ignore them I would suggest that you find some other way to balance the non-human races.

    Thoughts on Fane of the Drow?

    It looks like I will finally have a use for those Drow DDM figs I picked up on Ebay for my COTSQ game.

    Need Some Help with a Tavern Name

    Yeah, they have seen the movie. Actually I saw it in the theater with one of them way back when. It would be a dead (forgive the pun) givaway.

    Need Some Help with a Tavern Name

    I am running the party through the 2E module "Four from Cormyr". There is a section called "The Inn of the Undead" and what happens is that the party gets attacked by Ghouls on the road, and are so beaten up they have to stop at an inn to rest. Well my players are going to mop the floor with...

    Help w/ iconics

    Need Some Help with a Tavern Name

    I am running my players through a "From Dust till Dawn" Scenario. It is a Tavern with lots of Dancers/Vampires. I just can't think of what to call it. In the movie it was called the "T***y Twister" and I am trying to think of a Fantasy RPG sounding name for that. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Feign Death & Speak With Dead

    OK, none of my players lurk here to the best of my knowledge so I can ask this... They tried to save an old man from a mugging, but he died before they could help him and the assailants got away. What they do not know is that he is not really dead, but had a Feign Death cast upon him to fool...

    Worst D&D adventure of all time?

    I can't belive no one has said it yet... Throne of Bloodstone. Has anyone ever tried to run this adventure? Maps and illustrations that don't make sense, horribley munchkined out encounters. A laundry list of every Demon Prince used as a simple encounter for the players to overwhelm. Hell it...

    City Adventure

    Can anyone reccomend a good City adventure to throw at my players. They are very experienced players around 12-13th level. I need something to keep them busy until I unleash the Gith. Thanks.

    Lich Queen's Beloved

    Well, since we are just about to finish City of the Spider Queen I think that they are "Drow-ed" out for the time being.

    Lich Queen's Beloved

    I spend about 50$ a month with my FGLS. I do not expect him to have backstock on three year old issues of Dragon or Dungeon. But I did call him first to see if he had it.
