Despite having no problem with the current cleric, I kind of enjoy the old generalist clerics. I always assume that, even in a polytheistic society, many of the lesser deities would not have many shrines dedicated exclusively to them. As such, it would made sense to have generalist clerics that...

A few suggestions: You might want to downplay the importance of magic. Spellcasters can easily shadow soldiers, which might spoil the military tone of your campaign. Also, you should care for avoiding excessive high level NPCs. If there are too many, there is no need for an army. Small parties...

Perhaps you haven't noticed but the Marshal has a completely different feeling than the cleric. I don't like to play clerics to the point that I prefer any class over it. The marshal reminds me the heroes from Warcraft but not D&D clerics in any way. Is the cleric class more powerful? Who...

I got the impression that they are planning something like the old D&D (not the Advanced one). I think that this is great, as it is something not currently available to d20 players.

Although somebody at Eden will probably respond here after a while, you'll get better chances posting at Eden's message boards.

I place Green Ronin as number 1 non-WotC d20 publisher as it is the only one who actually keeps high standards in all its releases. Although, I haven't read all their books, I am still looking for one which is not good. Second place goes to the Penumbra imprint by Atlas Games. Most of their...

I don't think that they should re-release all 3.0 major books. However, as you pointed out in relation to the Psionics Handbook, which you think is underbalanced in relation to the other books, there is a problem with Oriental Adventures. A sizeable part of it is dedicated to a setting not owned...

Mine too. I would replace Rogukan material with new Greyhawk material, which would include Mahasarpa. A few months latter, Kara Tur could be re-introduced in its own book. Realistic, I think it is too much wishful thinking.

Nope, although it should be pretty minor, considering that classes have changed and so on. There was a little bit of discussion at Wizards' boards. I can only hope that the lack of information is a sign that they will revise the book in the near future, although I wouldn't bet on it.

I brought the very first two Slayer's books from Mongoose (Hobgoblins and Gnolls) and, despite I loved the concept, I found them pretty bad. Months latter, I was convinced by a shop owner to give them another chance with Gladiator: Sands of Death, which I found to be rather weak -- despite the...

I usually homebrew, but my last campaign was set in Greyhawk. I personally like to run games in Greyhawk as the world is much less detailed than other alternatives. It is easy to pick a region and develop it to my liking, not being worried about players complaining that my game is diverging from...

Right now, most of the products cited in this thread, such as Arcana Unearthed, are enjoying the great popularity granted by all the hype they received after a well done pre-release marketing. Some will be surely good, but I want to read them careful and playtest them before taking any decision...

I also highly recomend Stormbringer. It is a very nice game, much superior than DLoM in every aspect. The rules are easy to play and combat is fast and lethal. Character generation is dice based but it is not hard to adapt a point based system. There is a good amount of setting information and...

I say that it is better to reconstruct the character using the same ability values and number of levels. You may re-roll all hit points, although taking one hit point per level would be a fair solution. Rangers are my favorite class. I already have updated a few characters from first to second...

The current edition of Oriental Adventures is a problem to WotC as it promotes somebody else IP. I can only hope that they sold enough copies to justify a revised edition, similar to what they are doing with the Psionics Handbook, replacing Rogukan info with another setting. I would like to see...

I've played from begining to the end. As the original Temple, it does start pretty well -- although not even close to be as good as the original T1 -- but start loosing punch as it develops. Most of the module is a massive dungeon that doesn't makes much sense. The encounters are well planned...

Try here Nephilim is about modern occultism. I haven't played it or even read it fully, but it appears that players take role of Nephilim, which are some sort of supernatural entities. They also published a pretty interesting supplement describing a lot of real world occult organizations...

Chaosium once published several fantasy games, such as RuneQuest, Pendragon, and Nephilim. Virtually all Chaosium's games are based in their Basic Roleplaying (BRP) engine which is a simplified version of RuneQuest. Chaosium sold RuneQuest rights to Avalon Hill back in the 80s and now the rights...

Despite being poorly illustrated, Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time is a great book for setting information and I highly recommend it. In relation to the lack of official support (there are a couple of excellent sites supporting the game), I think this is actually a nice feature of the game. I...

Well said. I would rather give the ranger three combat feats at the player choice than assign two paths. Also, it would be preffered to have more wilderness abilities in detriment to combat. Still, it was an improvement.
