Nope. MnM is not DnD. It has add ons and that is enough to make it different. If you have been driving an automatic all your life a manual transmission is completly unfamiliar driving experiance. Although that is as far into semantics as I will take that argument. I will, however, agree with...

How could I forget Mutants and Masterminds! There is all the effort of character creation (because somepeople just will not take a premade character and tweak it, no matter what) and then the complexity of an unfamiliar combat system. Tried it and it was DOA because it just too much work to do...

I really like Unknown Armies, but I think it requires a particular mindset to start off that many people just can't get into. And without the right tone and feel from both the players and the GM the game just wont work.

Well, by that login you are going to run into the same problem with WoD. Even if you are running a pure "mortals" campaign with (n)WoD there are books out there that add magic to that kinda game. Sure, not as overwhelmingly prevalent as in DnD, but its there. Unless you pick up a game that...

Also by GR you might look at the Black Company Campaign setting. There is a magic using class, but its complex and easilly removed. While, given your inspiration, I would think that the Game of Thrones book from GR would be the way to go, even at cover price it might be too expensive for what...

Yeah. Its just not what I am used to.

I picked up Dwellers of the Forbidden City from ENworld (decided to consider it part of my contribution to the server drive). Its...interesting. Certainly servicable, certainily will work, but I guess its just because I am so unused to the style of 1e that it seems off somehow. Maybe Rob...

And where would one find such a thing? I didnt play 1e and have no 1e products. I would consider using something like this, but I kinda need it this weekend so was looking for something already done. Thanks, unfortunatelly my copies of Dungeon start in the early 90s so I dont have that...

While fleeing from a rakshasa ruled city in the underdark through some old mines the PCs eventually have come into a yuan-ti/serpent folk city which, in recent days, has been the scene of some large conflict and is now mostly deserted and in ruins. While the PCs have been ambushed by someone...

I'd be a bit suprised if anythign was done until after GenCon. Plesantly Suprised, but still. EDIT: and yet i just went and checked and its now in my shopping cart. :)

Ptolus has lots of Rat Men Stuff in it and you can get most sections on PDF, so you can just get what you need. You would probablly want the sections that cover the Sewers (for obvious reasons) and the Temple District (for the Temple of the Rat God and the lair below.) Or if a map is all you...

I have used not only regular DnD monsters but d20 CoC monsters in a d20M game. My experiance is that monsters generally dont last long enough to be worth a great deal of conversion. The main things you need to watch out for are DR and SR and any special vunerabilities or resistances for these...

Now this is what I have been talking about. Using the SAGA rules for things other than Star Wars. I am DLing this now, but have been thinking that with only a little effort to change fluff you could use the rules as is for a Steampunk/Pulp with a heavy dose of Noir type game. I have even gone...

Given that in 4es cosmology, iirc, celestials are not neccesarilly the creations of the gods but rather independent beings that arose on their own I dont think a Celestial Warlock would neccesarily equal a Cleric. I havent played around enough with 4e to start making mechancial suggestions, but...

Not sure its in the Duke Nukem catagory but I was looking forward to the Super Powers supplement for d20 Modern that WotC was working on, announced, solicited, and then pulled weeks before it was supposed to be released for not clear reason.

Glad you made a choice that seems to be working for you. My only word of advice at this point is: if you have the players make an effort for the planning of their PCs then make sure you as a DM allow those choices to matter. IOW, you dont want some one to plan the greatest Undead (or Dragon or...

Do your player own that many books? Are they that familiar with them? Half my group only knows things exist outside the core books because I point it out to them. My suggestion to you would be for you to pick the books based ona theme and then allow them access to it. For example you could...

In about 6 years of gaming I have played a grand total of 1 session where women were not present or even the majority. But then at the age of 36 I am the youngest player in the group and so age may account for a lot of it.

The second of the Iron Kingdoms Core books, Iron Kingdoms World Guide: Full Metal fantasy Vol 2. has no more than, IIRC, a few regional feats in it. All the rules are in Volume 1.

I think this has been discussed before, but it keeps coming up in my games so I thought I would start a new thread. The situation: A player creates a suave intelligent PC with great social skills and attributes (system doesnt really matter on this) because the player wants to play a character...
