Maybe so, you could drop Fast Healing down to 2 and remove Scent. I dont think the addition of a weak claw attack would add much more than flavor. Compare it to the Hobgoblin v. Drow - even with no changes to my original post I think it may be better than the Hob but significantly weaker than...

Right, if there are locked doors etc it changes the EL, if i had more than one trap finder who could deal with a second locked door or trap that wouldnt be a problem, but I dont so it is. Prospero's advice is good, but it would largely mean changing how I handle those rolls in mid game. I dont...

How strong does the Troll part have to be? If you want to have him as a +0 or +1 race you could go: +2 Strength, +2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence, - 2 Charisma A half troll's base land speed is 30 feet. Dark-vision 30 feet, Lowlight vision Fast Healing 5, cannot heal fire or acid damage...

Its interesting people mentioning Pot Lucks. I just never think of them as buffets. I know they are served buffet-style but I just tend to think of buffets as commerical ventures where everything is provided by a single source. Pot lucks, on the other hand, are so common at this point in my...

Traps that never miss have onset delay, to make them fairer I suppose. How Exactly do they work? Take this trap from the SRD: Dropping Ceiling CR 9; mechanical; location trigger; repair reset; ceiling moves down (12d6, crush); multiple targets (all targets in a 10-ft.-by-10-ft. room); never...

Thanks! I have been interested in this game ever since I first heard about it. I know nothing about the Burning Wheel system,but I look forward to trying this out.

Could you give us a Table of Contents? How much of the Mouse Guard world is fleshed out in the book that we just get hints of in the books?

The PCs are crossing a grassy plain. Centaurs live here and do not take kindly to tresspassers. At what point are spot checks called for by either group, how long does it take for them to come into contact once they see each other? Basically I am not used to running combats where the PCs and...

Me, Myself, and Irene Addler: Sherlock Holmes is the Great Detective, but when faced with a seemingly unsolvable case his more diabolical aspect, Moriarty, takes over. Can the love of a not so good woman save him?

This, but no one has has ever said no. If its something that I want the details to remain a secret (say a Druid master speaking to a druid PC) I just write it down. It rarely is a problem.

Anyone know of a good 3.x adventure that focuses on Centaurs? And as long as I am asking: what about fey? I am particularlly looking for something in the 10-12 range.

The World of Courtney Crumrin. I would add Mouse Guard, but an RPG for it is in the works. Gargoyles would be great.

Unlike some of the previous posters I do not think that every encounter should risk killing all the party. Nor do I think that the options are a binary "It could kill them all." v. "There is no point." Typically I want there to be a few thigns that are only moderatly difficult (in 3.5 thats...

I have both given and recieved. Recieved from both the other couple in our gaming group and from family who like the concept of an Amazon Wish List. Given to both to people in our group and a brother-in-law who is kinda into DnD, or at least nostalgic for it.

Phraint - but only because of some nigh on legendary story of a friend's ex husband insisting that he play one in a MERPS campaign just to be a jerk.

I don't believe it was verified. You have to remember that obtaining Roman citizenship was not that hard (and had NOTHING to do with speaking Latin BTW - Greek was what everyone spoke), granted to children of Roman citizens, children of a freedslave whose former master was a citizen, those who...

Its been awhile since I played it, but IIRC the magic system was fun -and pretty dibilitating. I just about killed my character once casting magic. Drama point work fine once you get used to them. The one short campaign of it we played in I was a half-demon rogue watcher in late 1800s Hong...

Uh oh. Looks like its time to open up the ol' Green Box, call in the Crew, and pay a vist to Old Man Aclatraz's Place. Locals had been reporting weird lights anyhow.

We had one of those for a little while. I got to eat there once before the owner, who owned several resturaunts in town we liked, seems to have had a nervous and financhial breakdown due to gross mismanagement. So haven't gotten to eat at one since. Sigh. It was incredible. Of course, I...

Noble Knight Games has Blood of Heroes for a reasonable price and all versions of the DC Heroes games at unreasonable prices. However, I once ran a pretty good Pulp Heroes game with d20 Modern, some Thirlling Tales, GR's Psychic Handbook, and some odds and ends. Powers were all low level but...
