    Mat Smith's Writing is Unpleasant [RANT]

    You just keep believing that. Can i rate this thread 5 stars? :D It's a rant, against a guys work, so what? It's not a personal attack at all, its a response, blown outta proportion, to a professional work. A rant IS juvenile, if this was a mature discussion it woulda been a...

    "A Song of Ice and Fire" in May issue of Dragon...

    Mixed. SoIaF is not the high magic of D&D. It also is more RP orientated than D&D. I would preffer to see the WoT classes and ruleset applied to SoIaF, IMO they are more orientated to a lower-magic high-RP setting. On the other hand, semi-official rules about SoIaF are really cool. I just...

    Even though i despise Star Wars I have to admit that WEG SW is a very simple system, easy to learn and fun. While I would do alot to avoid d20 Star Wars, you wouldn't have to twist my arm all that much to get me to play WEG SW. I'd still rather play other stuff though. Oh, mentioned above, I...

    Do you find Alignments useful in your games???

    I think alignments are pretty useless to a DM but are invaluable to a player. They give you a focus, a kind of reminder of what you are 'role playing'. Depending on the game style, they can be very helpfull. As a DM they are a good gauge for awarding RP XP. I'd rather have a decent writeup...

    Psychic Warriors - Psychic Chiurgy

    Dunno why. In theory all spells of a level he could manifest should be equal, whether on his list or not. Spell list just give the classes a flavour. It's also quite expensive. If he didn't want to pay for the cirguery, a +10 UMD item and a wand of the power will probably be much cheaper...

    RPG Piracy

    Completely agree. If the XXAA spend half as much on development of new ideas as they did on trying to stop new tech and impose new laws, they would have a very profitable online setup already. A subscription service perhaps? Dunno, but they have the millions to invest in research. Every time...

    I thoroughly agree. From much experience.

    RPG Piracy

    I'm not sure if I agree. I purchased Monte Cooks ITCK online. It was good enough that as soon as I get some cash flow and someone to run the module i'm gonna buy the paperback version as well. I also know people who DL PDF products for free, stealing them. Not a one of them would have bought...

    RPG Piracy

    I think I read some hackers cracked that last week. Would you like a link to a how-to? :D :D :D :D

    How much XP?

    Any idea how that would apply to a CR5 dragon? He has 12 hit die already. Use the CR or try to work out an ECL? He hasn't aged so I can't advance him, I have to add class levels.

    How much XP?

    Recently in my group a young blue dragon (CR5) and an 8th level Barbarian defeated the party of four 5th level characters. I'm curious, what is the CR of four 5th level characters? How much XP would the young blue dragon and Barbarian8 get for defeating them? Thanks in advance for any help.....

    RPG Piracy

    Mine doesn't, i did ask. The owner is cool but he's never there and he always hires complete a-holes. This, and 30% off no tax, no shipping, is one of the reasons I order on-line :D Completely different crimes, i won't bother noting the difference in robbing a $100k object and making a...

    RPG Piracy

    1) Nice idea. I suspect they would have me arrested if I try to take the plastic off though. And yes, this is most of the LGS's near me. If FLGS's let me return all the crappy d20 products, it might be worth it. 2) What part of I DON"T HAVE THE MONEY didn't you understand? Me with no money...

    RPG Piracy

    First, i'm sick of paying money for crap. A preview lets me know that my money will be well spent. Second, I couldn't afford all these books anyway. Since thats the case it's basically a victimless crime. WotC doesn't lose any money (they wouldn't have had it anyway), the only difference is...

    Psionics

    First, yeah noone will ever use psi attack modes. They suck. Next, psi combat itself. Eric Noah has an excellent description, but i can't emphasize enought that both attacker and defender pick modes BEFORE knowing what the other is using. The only WotC variant is that instead of rolling...

    Oh yeah, a Paranoia game would rock! Or Traveller, d20, GURPs or otherwise. Speaking of GURPs a Black Ops game would be almost as fun as Spycraft.

    Mark: I'm gonna bend over backwards to make this one because I missed the last one :( Hoever, job search going on so who knows what might happen. I would love to play in Piratecat's Feng Shui game :D a Spycraft game, or a Wheel of Time game. CoC would be fun too with the right GM. EDIT...

    Explain Hide In Plain Sight Please...

    Says who? Anyway it's -move, attack, move+hide-. Next round you start off hidden so no need to Hide again. Of couse, any enterprising Ninja can do the same thing with the Vanish feat (lets you Bluff to distract as part of your MEA). It just requires another check, Bluff. EDIT: oh yeah, the...

    What's the most cinematic thing one of your character's has ever done?

    I'd call that more "cindermatic" :p :p :p :p
