    (KS) d20 Gaming Wands

    How about fake treasure, such as coins, magic items, and costume jewelry? Maybe players can carry physical bags of the stuff, make them wear backpacks and they DM would ask the player exactly how do they plan to carry such an item? One time I thought it would be interesting to carry D&D books on...

    (KS) d20 Gaming Wands

    Just having a bit of fun with this. Why would anyone actually need a physical wand as a prop while playing D&D? It is basically just a fancy stick. One does not need a suit of armor to wear at the gaming table if one wants to play D&D, costumes are optional, if one wants to dress up as the...

    Is D&D Too Focused on Combat?

    Well combat needs rules, role playing does not. Players can always play "Lets pretend" There is no die rolling involved when characters are attempting to solve a mystery, or haggling with a merchant to settle on a price, one can roll dice for those things, but that is kind of artificial. I'd...

    Thundarr the Barbarian as a D&D setting

    Ariel may have been the only good-aligned mage, but she was there with them on every show, and since the bad guy mages kept on being defeated on every show, you need more of them, works pretty much the same in a standard D&D campaign, also in a standard D&D campaign, you need a balanced party...

    Solving the "Let's Rob the Magic Shop" Problem

    Most D&D adventures are robbery expeditions, the simplest adventure is a Dungeon full or rooms, monsters and treasure. Typically the monsters come up to the surface world and cause some trouble to get the player's attention. Once the players are aware that there is a dungeon full of monsters and...

    Thundarr the Barbarian as a D&D setting

    The setting of Thundarr is very similar to GammaWorld, but I would like to use the D&D 3.5 game and combine it with D20 Modern and Future I would take the premise of the cartoon, but put it together in a more logical fashion than the slapdash of the animated series and the GammaWorld setting...

    Solving the "Let's Rob the Magic Shop" Problem

    You know, my solution is to make use of the metallic dragons that are in the monster manual, they have treasure types, most metallic dragons have a human form for instance, they live a long time, and like their chromatic cousins, they have accumulated a treasure horde, the main difference...

    Solving the "Let's Rob the Magic Shop" Problem

    Sounds to modern if you ask me. If you keep the magic items somewhere else other than at the shop, they can be stolen two additional places besides the shop, either at the storage facility or in route while being delivered. It I much easier to keep them in the shop rather than at a separate...

    D&D 3.x D20 Pirates Blog--Updated

    Not bad, similar to the pantheon I'm using, I have a Sun god too, he could be either Apollo of Helios, I also have Gaea, and I have two more deities of living planets Mars and Venus or if you like to use the Greek names Ares and Aphrodite. I'm working on refining a map of 12th century Europe, it...

    The Best Movie About RPGs in 2018 (So Far)

    They would have had to cut out a lot of scenes that were in that movie in order to get it to run 2 hours, you also wouldn't get to develop the individual personalities of those dwarves either.

    The Best Movie About RPGs in 2018 (So Far)

    I think language is very important, and I don't mean English and French, there is an actor in the D&D movie trailer that dresses the part but talks like he comes off of the streets of Los Angeles, he is sort of a comic relief character, but his word choices and other mannerisms destroys the...

    Starfinder Starfinder Gamma World

    All that RPG "Geek Speak" that Starfinder creates gets rather confusing. A Weapon Fusion is just a fancy way of saying the weapon has a magical bonus and giving it a sci fi lable and calling it a "fusion". I know what the term "fusion" brings to mind in my case. Now that's a fusion!

    Don't Lose The Forest For The Trees

    I like to use d20 3.5 because I know it, I am more interested in finding ways to adapt it to a number of different scenarios than in finding new ways to roll the dice to determine hit or miss. Every time I see a new RPG, I am deterred by the new hit or miss system that goes with it, that I have...

    Tiny Frontiers Means Big Science Fiction Fun

    And I thought it was a role playing adaption of Fantastic Voyage. Four men and a woman are reduced to a microscopic fraction of their original size, sent in a miniaturized atomic sub through a dying man's carotid artery to destroy a blood clot in his brain. If they fail, the entire world will...

    It was easy enough to find. I am working on improving the map.

    Thundarr the Barbarian as a D&D setting

    This is a hex map of Europe which could be used in such a campaign, it is a 12th century map, but the terrain the hexes show would be the same, forests that were clear cut would grow back in 500 years after all. And this is a Hex map of North America, Thundarr I believe lives in North America...

    Solving the "Let's Rob the Magic Shop" Problem

    Its more interesting to watch the players argue amongst themselves about what is the right thing to do and what is wrong, makes it more dramatic. If I'm going to be a DM, my role is not that of a parental authority. the players should have some common sense, if I need to tell them what's right...

    Thundarr the Barbarian as a D&D setting

    I think I would like to reimagine it a bit, keep the basic idea, but make it more serious, less Saturday morning cartoonish perhaps. The sorceress looks like a member of the Fantastic Four, I'd say get rid of the spandex, it just doesn't belong in a Post-Apocalyptic setting, don't you think? How...
