    Will this Lead to a TPK? [updated 3/16]

    Statistically the odds are actually in the party's favor with the inclusion of the sand giant. But statistics don't mean squat when a huge, flying lizard is strafing your party with lightning every 6 to 24 seconds. Your party is severely lacking in both arcane blasting power and healing on any...

    Alternate Psionics System for Modern/Future?

    I really enjoyed this system. It's the only system I've ever used for modern games. If you can find any of the splats almost all of them have something useful or unique to add. The Archer Foundation splat book had a system for the Fringe, a sort of twilight zone or ethereal plane that added a...

    Mutants and Masterminds, edition differences

    That is good to know. I've been toying with M&M to make templates and class features for other games. On paper everything seems to work fine. Knowing that I'm using the version that is better suited to that sort of operation makes feel confident in my new project. I recently read What If...

    vB code (I think) and posting doodads

    Thanks, PC. The vB code link on the bottom left just gets me an error message. Fatal error: Call to undefined function can_administer() in /http/misc.php on line 37 I mentioned this to Morrus on the bug report thread above. I guess it didn't make the repair list 'cause that was a few weeks...

    vB code (I think) and posting doodads

    I don't know where to look for the instructions on vB code and basically how to tailor my posts. Font sizes, smilies, text coloring... I'm totally lost here, people. Could somebody point me in the right direction please? Thank you.

    Mutants and Masterminds, edition differences

    How big of a revision was the second edition of this game? I'm fair;y familiar with the first edition although I've never played. I have the book and have read it cover to cover. My understanding of the rules is pretty solid. From the glimpses I've gotten of the 2nd edition the concepts appear...

    Grim Tales SRD still available?

    Thanks for all the help I'd say I'm probably 95% convinced which is pretty good without actually touching a hard copy of the product. The reviews gave me a pretty good basis for what I'm expecting to be present. I have a few questions though, as long as I've got somebody to ask. 1) Advanced...

    Old Master Bug List.

    I can't access the vB tutorial through the Posting Rules link or the FAQ search. Any link I've hit results in: Fatal error: Call to undefined function can_administer() in /http/misc.php on line 37

    Grim Tales SRD still available?

    Point taken The gestalt of 3.5 and d20 Modern then? Who knew?

    Grim Tales SRD still available?

    While I appreciate the conviction I really like to see some numbers before I make a purchase. Especially on line. I'm giving very serious consideration to dumping core D&D for another system and Grim Tales is one of the few games I have never seen any of the crunchy bits. Call it a character...

    Godling

    Deities and Demigods has guidelines for becoming a divine power. It's been some time since I read them so I can't really even give you the gist but I know they are there. I remember something in the epic handbook as well about divine apotheosis. In Complete Divine the Contemplative PrC gives a...

    Bluff vs. Sense Motive

    Is that PHB or UA? I don't find any reference to it in the SRD. I'd use that vs. my progressive -2 circ penalty. A static adjustment to a roll is so much easier to keep track of. That's been the biggest downside of my method, another step in my bookkeeping phase.

    A brief moment of silence, if you please!

    As all things pass so shall new things come to be. The events of one's life sounds through all lives it touches. If a gamer you and yours are then gamers you shall always be.

    Bluff vs. Sense Motive

    Khuxan makes a good point on bluffs performed in social as opposed to combat situations. With multiple targets you get multiple responses. Odds are someone is going to do okay. If you are not a steadfast stickler for the rules one character could sense motive while his companions aid another to...

    D&D and Medieval/Dark Ages Simulationism

    My apologies for the thread-jack but what is E6. I haven't been on this board for sometime and I keep seeing references to this supplement? rule-set? I dunno. Could someone in the know enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

    D&D and Medieval/Dark Ages Simulationism

    There are many things in 3e that are so far removed from a dark ages milieu that they'd need to be changed or outright scrapped to get that feeling. Presentation wise I'd think you'd have to change race relations and the face of religion radically. The tone of the game would probably be better...

    Grim Tales SRD still available?

    All the sites that I've googled up are broken links. I'm unable to find a copy where I live so I'd like to get a look at the rules before I decide to order from Badaxe. Can anyone help?

    Your best fight vs. Goblins

    I have to plead reverse dungeon on this one as well. Our group plays a lot of monster-as-PC shorts. Goblins is definitely the most memorable. Each player had a single goblin champion with a PC class. There was also a small pool of goblin warriors we got to use as grogs. And you need grogs when...

    Alternatives to familiars

    I know this is no help to those wanting an alternate to familiars but I'll toss my 2 cp anyway. Familiars have all of their master's skill ranks unless their own are higher. This means that by 5th level (when in can communicate w/ master) yr familiar can aid you on almost any skill. Maybe not...

    Dark Inheritance

    You know what, I knew that. Heh. Oops. I was just trying to get some more information on DI a few days ago and when I tracked down the MDS website it appears that they've gotten out of the P&P RPG game. The site is now a PC game download, review, and cheat site as far as I can tell. Does this...
