I started gaming around '79 or '80, with the blue and red D&D books... I don't often GM. The first game I ran was Shadowrun (1st & 2nd ed) -- because there were no open spots in the one active game in the extended gaming group (about 20-30 people). I ran that for a couple of years. I've also run...

Why reduce the power level of the rogue while boosting the power level of the wizard? One big change to the rules: Attacks of Opportunity gotta go. I can think of no other single issue that has been as great a time sink and source of confusion in the groups I've played in. Another big change...

Is there anything besides Mongoose stuff?

Thinking further on this matter, I might consider revising my opinion if they come out with a companion book: the Quintessential Gigolo. :-P

I was ROFL with the Slayers Guide to Female Gamers, but I cannot in good conscience support a company that produces this kind of stuff.

After various discussions, I've come to the realization that what I really want is Shadowrun d20. Does anyone know if anyone is working on such a product or something similar? If anyone's tried running a combination of games to simulate Shadowrun d20, I'd love to hear which games you used and...

I took a look at the FFG web site and didn't see any such announcement, either. But I did look at their discussion board for Dragonstar. Traffic is almost non-existent.

We've looked at that, too, and disliked it. The dot-based resource system, while nice in theory (and even looked fairly elegant at first glance), becomes far less useful when there's no method given for converting D&D magic item costs to d20 modern costs. The way they handled character...

With that info, I think we'll hold off on SFA. I wasn't fond of the feats+skills approach to psi stuff. That said, has anyone tried incorporating psi from the Psi Handbook/XPH into Spycraft? How about magic?

I've been looking at Spycraft & Shadowforce Archer. One thing I can't tell from the descriptions of Shadowforce Archer on the AEG site: does it require the main Spycraft book to be usable? How interconnected are the two games? What's the magic like in SA? Could you incorporate psi stuff...

I clicked the banner button for this and got to the web page. The demo link on the web page goes to http://www.creativemountaingamescom/downloads/cmgsrd35demo.zip -- with no dot before the com, it's a 404.

There's a PDF booklet on the Wizards site, but it is both vague and incomplete.

Have you looked at the Martial Artist class in Beyond Monks? http://www.goodman-games.com/4300preview.php

I was looking at stuff in the Arms & Equipment Guide the other day, and realized it's a 3.0 book. Are there any 3.5 updates that have been published for this?

An occaisional update of character classes and levels might help add some perspective. And honestly, I'm more interested in the story line than the details of the battles.

Your paragraphs are still to long, and I'm at a loss to explain some of the breaks compared to places where there should be breaks but aren't any. If you want to start a sentence with the word "finally", as in something finally happened, start a new paragraph. The back-and-forth in the dragon...

Head to your local community college and sign up for an inexpensive class. That gets you a student ID, which is often all that is needed to buy stuff at the student price. The amount of money you save on software like this can be far more than you spend on the tuition for the class. If you're...

If there's one thing I've learned from looking over assorted prestige classes, it's that they are *not* balanced -- either against each other or against the core classes. Magic-based prestige classes (whether arcane or divine) typically have +1 caster level *and* a special ability for *every*...

The mystic theurge pretty much presumes you have cleric levels and wizard levels (the quote is "simultaneously mastering spells common to clerics and wizards"). The divine caster class has d8s for hit dice, the cleric BAB, and two good saves. The arcane caster class has d4s for hit dice, the...

I'm curious what discussion there's been about the whompin' amount of benefits given at 20th level. (Got a link?) In the dragon lineage, for instance, you get most of the abilities of a half-dragon character -- the type, AC, special attacks, and special qualities -- with no level adjustment...
