Hornet's nest? Bah. One easy rule to remember with the 3.5 skill system. Nothing, and I mean nothing is balanced with anything else. Just remember that, take a 10 and you'll be fine. ;) Is failure on a 1 only or is there a range? Equal to spell level, maybe. With the DC = 10 + sl lower level...

I get that now but at the time my issue was the verisimilitude of armor taking damage throughout combat and then being restored to full in time for the next encounter. While your explanation (unkinking chain, retightening straps, etc.) is totally acceptable the abstraction was just too much for...

d20 Conan addressed this quite elegantly. All armor provides DR (3 for padded jerkin, 10 for full plate). All weapons have an Armor Piercing rating (nil for primitive weapons up to 7 for the mighty warhammer) which is totaled with STR bonus. If an attacker's AP exceeds the DR then the DR is...

There's a hypertext SRD here and the D&D Wiki has the SRD and MSRD available for perusal. Neither of these are associated with WotC as far as I know. I think the original license states they are here to stay since nobody can rescind it. I think. No? And isn't the 4e SRD gonna be a lot less in...

Yer... One review. None to helpful. There was one at rpg.net that was kinda helpful (man, that board can be an angry bunch sometimes) but I was hoping for some actual play experience or an attempt at play experience. I'm running Ravenloft right now and I thought this supplement might be useful...

I found a copy of this the other day and was wondering about the opinions from the community. I didn't pick it up cuz I was already laden with frivolous expenditures for the day but I might go back for it if gets a decent review here or elsewhere. So... anybody got some opinions? Particularly...

If you're talking about the game, Chris Pramas let out a little info on the first page of this thread. If you're talking about the HBO series then Wikipedia has all the info and links I'm privy to. I haven't checked in a while so you might want to go and look for yourself. But I veer off-topic...

Yeah, yeah. What he said. I buy probably 75% of my books used or out of the bargain bin. I wonder if this will affect my supply lines for all the 3.x I was gonna snap up once 4e was released. Probably not but still... White Wolf's cutting my grass, man! And no I wouldn't switch to Exalted. I...

Two pronged question here. 1) I'm looking for a campaign manager that will run on OS X 10.4. I'd like it to be free if possible. I seem to remember a few programs from years ago but I was running a PC then and I doubt that most of them have a Mac version if they are still available. I have...

Number 5 for me. My compliments to the OP. Very insightful.

This is really good. Your new Imperial name root gave me exactly what I needed for a Ravenloft game. Cheers and thank you.

Hear here! Martin's books are definitely adult oriented but there have never been any graphic scenes of rape and the violence is simply unadorned. I'd hardly call any of the books gratuitous. I guess some people just prefer things fluffy...

For real? Is it their own system or an extension of the GoO original. I really like the original but have never had a chance to play. My buddy owned the book but moved out of town and probably won't be back for a year. :( There is supposed to be an HBO series of ASIF coming out as well. That...

I heartily endorse the reserve feats from CM as well. I've tried to adapt the concept of higher level spells fueling lesser powers or spells in the vain of reserve feats. It's kinda incoherent and unplaytested as of yet but I'll post some here when I have a bit more time.

I can think of two of my players that would then begin setting fairy traps so that could harvest that dust to use during combat. Or maybe they'd just have big collections of caged fairies to peddle in town.

There was a recent, unjust murder committed by a spring attacking wraith that would use incorporeality to move through solid objects and still attack. Then he'd attack through the objects to retain his cover bonus. H-h-horrible! Not to pick your nits but I think you may have overdone the ray...

Just the other day, after EGG's death actually, I remembered this old gamebook series he wrote and got a little nostalgic. I lamented that I'd never see it again and I felt like a bit of my childhood was gone forever. This thread allowed me to find something that took me way back. So, thanks...

Honorable Mention This game deserves the recognition of having one of the most unique dice systems I've ever seen. Never been able to convince anybody to play it with me though. I'm not completely sure I even understand it.

I read the nWod rules for the LARP version of Requiem and Mortals. The possible Derangement development was a great improvement to the system of Morality (or Paths). While I like the Virtue/Vice rules in implementation I kinda don't like the Virtue/Vice concept. It is pretty straight-forward but...

If you're still there, Admiral, what's the projected launch of EnII? Coinciding with 4e I suppose.
