I could tell you what I would play in 3.x but knowing nothing substantial about 1st ed I cant really answer the question, as I doubt my idea for a goblin paladin of the god of redemption with ranged smite and riding a dire bat would work.

True, it could get quite complicated, but I am not sure thats something that I want to do right now with this group. Basically I am just looking for a baseline price for a map to determine what they get paid and any potential modifiers that might go into the process.

Not talking about players mapping in a dungeon or other site. I have just started a campaign where the PCs were all given extra skill points and class skills related to mapping terrain and/or architecture. They are associated with an organization that makes and sells maps that will pay them...

Thats better, but its still going to be a matter of frequency in the campaign. I know in EtCR there are werewolves and other things that might cause a ranger forced into choosing from a list of undead to feel cheated. If you really want an Undead Hunter class in the game then I suggest allowing...

In a campaign where the opponents were guaranteed to be a wide variety of undead on a regular basis I would think that its fair to differentiate them for the purposes of Favored Enemy. If that also means that there will be less of other types of enemies. If the party were to fight a wide...

I recommend a moduler "world tour" type campaign. The campaing can begin in any populous city where the PCs learn of a Titan artifact and decide to seek it, either because they are paid to do so or from their own motivations. As they investigate this rather simple adventure they learn that 1)...

Yes, adventures are intended as a time when the PCs get to shine through the use of skills and abilities. There are a lot of assumptions made in a class based system, exactly what they are is up to your campaign. In d20 Modern its easy to say "My character goes to the gym/library/shooting...

This idea has been burrowing around in the back of my brain like some kind of parasite. I think Enki would be a great Chtonic entity. Picture small communities of isolated inbred (Enki is known for his incestuous relationships) cultists, drunk out of their minds on sacramental home made beer...

Well, you can have airships and golems and it not be steampunk. Perhaps the Golems are all made through careful and solem rituals in the Temple, and it is there production that has led to the dominance of the Religious clan/caste over the traditional dominance of the Warrior clan/caste. (And...

Given that I just finished Michael Stackpole's Cartomancy (Book two of The Age of Discovery) when I saw the leak about dragonborn I thought "Viruk!" I will gladly allow them. In fact I generally prefer to play and run games where most options are allowed and deal with it as it comes. I also...

For a setting book my first vote would be for Hong Kong around the end of the Opium Wars, and then for an East Asia book in general after that. A short Global Gazetter might also be useful for GMs running a world spanning campaign.

While I wouldnt say it exactly that way, I can see some of the value of that idea. For a superhero game to work long term I think there has to be a high level of investment in the game and the genre. My group, for example, all reads comics but are all fans of slightly different styles and most...

In Eberron they did,before they used magic in their war against extra-dimensional invaders. It devestated their society, but they were ready to use it again when the draagons finally devestated their civilaztion. The giants that remain are debased and fractious, a tiny shadow of their past...

Personally, my favorite takes on the Mythos in RPGS are of one of two extremes. One is historic role play with minor mythos elements, where PCs do not deal with the Big Names, but might run across ancient cults/artifacts and the occasional rare mythos monster or race. FBI team investigating a...

Barring a Con game I have never had more than 3 players, and have had only 2 for the last year or so. With 2 players we run 2 PCs each and its generally not a problem, although I would recommend not having two full casters to one player. Picking the right spell for the job can bog things down...

The next issue of Targum will contain a guide for the offical GR apporved 3.5 conversion material. That should make it easier in the long run to do it your self in need be.

Xenophilia by Dean Poisso, illustrated by Fred Hooper Dragon 317 March 2004 p. 22 There is a were-tiger on the front cover, which refers to "Exotic Heroes" The 4 races are Adu'ja - a plant like race LA +2 Gruwaars - a fey race that looks a bit like Beast from X-men LA +0 Golmoids - a stone...

Thanks to the Food Network I have heard of it, but never actually seen it in person. Sounds horrid. You really need a "Never Heard of it" option.

About to start a new homebrew campaign intended to take adavantage of just about every 3.x book and idea I have ever had. After that one wraps up 4e should be out and I should have had pleanty of time to get into it. Right now it will likely be a "points of light" campaign set in a dark ages...

-If you are going to add romance to the game make sure that the other people at the table are OK with that. Regardless of how you intend it thereis the possibility that someone can become uncomfortable with it to the point that it would disrupt the game, or that it will result in a level of...
