curse the double-post and its wicked ways!

Here's the gist: Each school of magic has its own knowledge skill, which one must put ranks in to learn spells. A caster cannot learn a spell of a certain level unless he already knows a spell of the level below it. In order to cast a spell, the caster must make a roll based on his skill with...

Old Drew ID posted his magic system on his story hour, I'm sure I have it around here somewhere. I'll repost it if I can find it. I left his system mostly intact, except I added the Evocation school, as I'm going for a little more flash than he is. Like him, I cut a lot of spells that duplicate...

The Shadow-Files, a D20 Modern campaign I’m using this forum as place to deposit my ideas for an upcoming campaign. Your thoughts and ideas are always welcome. Introduction to the S-Files… As the name implies, the S-Files is a modern campaign inspired by the X-Files TV series. Other...

Please refer to my post above. Do I have to plaster my posts with smileys for you people to catch a joke? I just wanted to beat all the other yaps to the punch, that's all.

No matter what you say, someone will find a way to take it too seriously.

Isn't that the guy who killed Chewie? I hope he chokes on his mic...

Thanks for the tips, guys. Unfortunately, I'm due to start running in a couple of weeks, so I need something yesterday. The campaign itself has come together nicely, and I've sorta put this last piece off until the last minute. The magic rules were taken from CoC, and I want the same feel, as...

I'm not too impressed with the way d20 modern has handled the fx portion of the rules system. It just seems rather bland to me. I want some psi powers with a little more flavor than the bland stuff they ported over from d&d. Does anyone know of a good alternate system I can drop into a d20...

I picked up my copy off the used book shelf at my LGS. Best $10 I've spent in a long time. The updated creatures in Menace Manual will save me some elbow grease, but it seems WotC has forgotten how to make a true campaign setting.

I wouldn't think that chaotic creatures would always do anything. They're as likely to grin and walk away as slit their foe's throat.

I'm going to go with the middle road in this discussion. Ask yourself this...how much free will do you have? Really, think about it. Sure, I could choose to not show up for work this morning, and subsequently loose my job and possibly house, car, toys, etc So really, I have to work if I want to...

One option you could suggest to the two players, especially if tieflings are rare in your campaign, is that they are related. It would give you a tidy explanation as to why there are two rare types in the same area. Or if you wanted to be really sneaky, let them write up their character...

Curse the double-post demon and it's treachery!

I'd be glad to help out.

I've turned at least two short stories into adventures for my group, and I'm working on a third. I haven't read any that I couldn't take at least one idea from, much like the storyhours here. Personally, I could do without a buttload of classes/prcs every issue, but I know that will never...

RL love I don't presently have a rules lawyer in my group, but I do have two DM's, which is pretty close to the same thing:) Personally, I never correct a dm during a game unless I know he doesn't mind. If he makes a ruling, I go with it. I will bring it up after the game, though. During my...

I've actually got the whole forest-world dungeon craft series printed out in a folder at home. I loved his articles - got me thru my first campaign, and I still have his 'rules of dungeoncraft' taped to the inside cover of my gm folder. Now if I only had a scanner, I'd scan it and email you the...

Right now I'm running my group through the Grey Citadel by Necromancer Games. It's one of the best canned modules I've seen in a long time, I highly recommend it. You might also take a look at the adventure path series in Dungeon.

There are a few points here I'd like to clear up. Perhaps I wasn't exactly clear on the details of the situation and this lead to some confusion. Perhaps some of you are just wussies. The paladin is in no way being 'railroaded'. He can at any time *before* he agrees to LD's deal walk away...
