What is the proper terminology for the hobby of dice collecting? In other words what is the equivalent of 'numismatics' and 'numismatists' for dice?

When will Call of Cthulhu be updated to use d20 Modern rules? Will there ever be a revision of CofC d20?

I also made a character sheet designed for NPCs that didn't have a lot of special monster abilities (namely, NPCs belonging to a player race or other humanoid). I've made the latest version available here: http://www.geocities.com/matthiasfw/DnD35_NPCSheet2007.pdf As you can see the monster...

You're welcome, glad to be of service. :) Let me know how it works out for you.

(I hope this is the right forum for this) For my own use as a DM I made a character sheet designed specifically for monsters. The idea is that I could copy and customize a monster's stats without having to keep a bookmark in the relevant book (or even have the book on hand). Looking through...

What if that giant was a stone giant (base speed 40 ft) with 10 monk levels (+30 ft)? With a speed of 70 feet at your disposal, would it really make much sense that you could not maneuver any faster than a human fighter while making full attacks?

I also believe that the universal 5 ft step is unrealistic, though I wasn't aware of all the implications that a variable single-step could bring to the game. The possibility of melee-focused characters having an extraordinarily adverse time of dealing with very large creatures is both...

expanded & formulaic gear value table With a bit of tinkering, I've put together what I think would be, more or less, a suitable open-ended formula-based gear value table for PCs. The gear values here inexactly mirror the progression of the tables in the 3.5 DMG for PCs above 1st and 20th...

It was? Dang. One would think that after doing derivatives of the exponential growth, that some kind of pattern could be found.

How do I determine the gear values of PCs above 40th level and the gear values of NPCs above 30th level?

I am trying to come up with a list of Craft sub-skills akin to the way D20 Modern's Craft skill is organized: instead of a seemingly innumerable list of specialized subskills, a fixed set of broad skill fields. So far this is what I have come up with; my history knowledge of medieval day-to-day...

For the next quantum leap I think we will see something like D20 Modern: a half-dozen or fewer base classes each concentrating on a very broad archetype, with plug-in talents (which will be expanded to be as versatile as the feat system) and bonus feat slots for high customization. They will all...

Good ideas, these. Other possibilities: The warden of nature book could include animals, magical beasts, and extraplanar beasts as well? Perhaps a book encompassing humanoids, monstrous humanoids, giants, and neutral humanoid outsiders? A book encompassing lawful and chaotic outsiders, and...

For any that's interested, yesterday I introduced the Orc deity into my game. I figured making one from scratch would be better rather than try to pigeonhole one. Plus, I have to get a feel for deific creation as a DM, and I may as well start here. KODOS, the god of self-sacrifice, is chaotic...

Wizards has done books for aberrations, dragons, undead, and for some evil outsiders (if you count Fiendish Codex I) Which monster type is next? (aside from Fiendish Codex II, if there is to be one)? Which monster type would you like to see them work on next? I would like to see either...

Yeah, I have that book (Faiths & Pantheons); it's really good. I use that book, Complete Divine, BOVD, BOED, and Deities & Demigods to fill out the pantheons in the campaign world of mine that needs the non-evil orc deity. I may yet "promote" the paragons and archfiends to divine status as...

I'd like to know if there's any published description of an orcish deity that, unlike the rest of the pantheon, is good-aligned (or at least non-evil) from any edition of D&D. If not a deity ruling orcs, then perhaps one that rules over goblinoids, or (if necessary) humanoids in general...

Going by the DMG's formula for EL modifiers for multiple monsters, I'd like to know what all of your thoughts are on how well it works and how far it can be extended. But is it really so simple? EL Modifier +1 or +2 = 2 monsters of equal CR +3 = 3 monsters of equal CR +4 = 4-5 monsters of equal...

Running the numbers for a Ring of Greater Invisibility, the estimated price did come out to be over 200,000 gp, it seemed. I agree, such a device is epic-level. Although it becomes much less useful if True Seeing is in play, which a few more powerful critters have. ]:)

hmmm Ahh, I see. So if I were to create a Ring of Greater Invisibility, the actual cost would be still greater than the "base price", yes?
