    PCs using their abilities - a favor to the party?

    No cleric should be in a party if his or her god would not want the members of that party healed. This means both that a) the person playing the cleric should have a reason for performing his or her role in the party and b) the other players should have PCs whose actions and attitudes do not...

    What is your favorite winter comfort food?

    Chili with grilled cheese sandwiches and enough saltine crackers that when I get to the last quarter of the bowl I can crush them up and basically make a paste and eat that. For breakfast Anytime: Monkey Bread - basically cut up strips of canned biscuits coated in sugar and cinnamon and baked...

    Warcraft and World of Warcraft

    (I have the WoW but not the original so I am guessing here but...) The WoW book is, essentially, a replacement PHB - a stand alone d20 based system using its own races, classes, spells, etc. The older Warcraft RPG was, IIRC, intended to be compatible with the DnD core rules, essentially a...

    any opinions on Adamant's Imperial Age line?

    Well, I am also biased (having written IA Magick along with some forthcoming works) but will add that I wrote the Magick book based on lot of real world occult practices of the era but also wanted to have a system that could model magic as we see it in various types of fiction set in the...

    Tell me about your Superheroes game!

    The most succesful quasi-super hero mini campaing I ran was called Arcadia and was set inthe 30s. I ran it using d20 M and a homebrew Template Class idea that basically boosted the powerlevels from Mere Mortal to Pulp Hero. The PCs were an artist turned mystic and a Iron Fist-y martial arts...

    How to get into publishing

    The best way to approach a publisher as a first time, or relativelly new, writer is to do work-for-hire. They put out a call and you answer it and do the best work you possibly can with the guidelines you have been given. Later, as you build a relationship with the publisher, you can pitch...

    How do you use knowledge skills?

    We basically use Knowledge skills as written. However once a character has a certain score (not ranks) in a skill they know all the basic information about a subject. We also tend to say that PCs from certain backgrounds know particular info, if not covered by a specific knowledge skill, and...

    Horror Themed Campaigns

    Then dont make them large cities the werewolf idea works just fine in a small town or village. If you dont like the ideas thats fine, but don't let some minor point keep you from using them. Everything is adaptable.

    Horror Themed Campaigns

    In what way do you want the game to be horror themed? From the sound of it the PCs are more the cause of horror than the victims of it. Having said that, however, if you are looking for a game that explores the tropes of classic horror w/o neccessarilly being 'horrific' you could try some of...

    What was this movie

    There is a unicorn in Cast A Deadly Spell, however briefly. I concur with jhilahd's concurance.

    The other humans

    No, I think he wants to keep them mechanically the same, not just balanced. I think he wants flavor text that can explain the rather generic human racial traits.

    The other humans

    So basically what you are talking about is Star Trek. The vast majority of Star Trek races are humans with cosmetic differences, maybe swaping the bonus feat for a racial feat but otherwise the same. You can flavor text humans into just about anything.

    The 3rd Kryptonian? Possible Spoliers

    Actually the presense of a displaced alternate reality individual does not neccesitate the existance of that alternate reality among the 52. All of the characters mentioned were from a previous version of the multiverse that need not have been recreated. It seems unlikely that they will...

    I made my PCs into action figures!

    I once had the PCs come back to town to discover that their exploits, somewhat distorted, had been turned into the equivalent of dime novels. With not neccesarilly the most flattering depicitions of them in it. They were to busy and never bothered tracking down the source.

    The 3rd Kryptonian? Possible Spoliers

    Beepo was the name of the Supermonkey in the comics, and was actually an experemental animal that Jor-El used to test his rocket tech in the Silver Age. Comet was the name of the Superhorse who was not IIRC Kryptnian. Both have gotten Post-CoIE but Pre-IC versions unrelated to their...

    The 3rd Kryptonian? Possible Spoliers

    A phantom zone imprisoned Mon-El has appeared recently in Superman books, as has a future counterpart in Legion. It has been established that the Daxamites are lost colonist of Krypton but given his recent apperances and that difference in origin its not going to be him. Besides, we know its...

    Attention WotC: Drop the must-sign-in thing until it works, please.

    I too am having problems and none of the various ways I have tried to fix it have gotten it to work. I have simply given up and will try again on Monday. I agree that things like "stay logged in", "forgot password", and "sign up here" should be on any log in page.
