    Dungeon 108 came today!

    Are they keeping MDT = Con or have they gone the CoC route with MDT=10?

    Anyone playing Urban Arcana?

    Here is the concept I am working on at the moment for my UA game. The Long Way Home My name is Janus Smithfire. An adventureer. I got flipped through a portal to a distant part of the spheres. I'm being hunted by an insane milita commander. Can anyone hear me? I'm just trying to find a way...

    Non-Vancian Magic systems

    Urban Arcana has a system called incantations. You need to make x Knowledge (Arcana) checks (DC varies) to be able to cast. Spells can be built in a similar way to using epic spell seeds. Casting is slow and you not going to be doing anything flashy. Incantations have just been added to the...

    Thieves' World/Lankhmar - why do you like them?

    If gaming Urban Legends are to be believed (maybe EGG can confirm/deny) Leiber was a friend of Gygax and allegedly help write some bits under an assumed name.

    Polyhedron's Dark*Matter d20

    I have been toying with mixing magic systems. Quick, dirty and flashy spellcasting used the rules from d20 CoC, where spells do attribute damage when casting. The more subtle spells use incantation rules from Urban Arcana.

    Online/Teleconferencing Gaming

    Goes misty-eyed...... Back in the mid-ninties I ran a game with dedicated Video Conferencing equipment. I was involved in the RPGA UK schools competition. First round consisted of a quiz paper with questions on history, mythology, literature & role-playing. Second round was a series of...

    How is modern?

    Yes I was talking about the flash bangs, they still have their full defense, but they can not take any actions. As a GM I would rule that you could bind and gag someone that was stunned. Avg. 11 damage is good enough to force a check on an Average person. Sawn-off shotgun with riot rounds, both...

    How is modern?

    As a stun grenade causes the character to be dazed (which means they take no actions) what is to stop you from just bind and gagging them? Dumping a bigass bale hay on someone just sounds like GM common sense (to me). Also riot rounds (Ultra Modern Firearms & Modern Players Companion) turn...

    Dark*Matter: d20M vs M&M

    I would go with d20M-ish. d20 CoC is probably closer. Here is the way I would run d20M Dark*Matter Character Generation as per Ordinaries section MDT 10 Incantations from UA for 'good' magic d20 CoC spells (attribute damage) for 'bad' flashy magic d20 CoC Psionics The reason not to go...

    i was wondering has anyone tried to convert Star Trek's Q into monster format?

    Exactly. My favourite Q quote, from DS9 You hit me! Picard never hit me.

    i was wondering has anyone tried to convert Star Trek's Q into monster format?

    Q and other members of the continum are plot devices not monsters. They are absolutely great at getting the players to be where you (the GM) want them to be. Players been ignoring all the hints about the crazy stuff going on in the sewers? Have Q turn up and Zap them straight in the heart of...

    Sliders D20

    I have been starting to flesh out a campaign using the Tangents rules (Project Slipstream: http://www.wirepaladin.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=27) . The really good thing about the old Tangents book is that the world generation rules don't need to be converted, leaving very little to convert...
