I think the potential is really good. The skill set looks good, and Charisma won't be a dump stat in this game! :D I'm hoping for all kinds of d20 crossover potential (goblins wrestling gnomes? A futuristic arena of giant wrestling robots?) A whole bunch of disorganized random thoughts...

A three hour tour.... PHB p. 143 has stats for raft movement, but I don't see anything else. How long would it take, without the help of magic, to build a small raft for one or two medium-sized creatures? Would any checks be appropriate?

[/i] I'm not answering for Roland, but a possible three words: Sword and Fist. Actually, thinking back on the Halfling Outrider BAB, that might be the same deal here. "The book was never supposed to be printed. It was a decision to design the book that way."

Oh yeah, I remeber "Way of the Tiger" too. I had that one with the multi-armed green dude on the cover. I remember taking the "feat" that you could slow your heart and breath to appear to be dead. The only time I tried to use it, the book told me that the guy ran his sword through me to make...

I have copies of the first 20+ of these books mouldering away in storage somewhere. I played these when I was like 9-12 before I couldn't keep up and wasn't really into D&D anymore.... I have many fond memories of the artwork and bits and pieces of storyline.... and other things like playing...

A d20 might not give a wide enough range for the batter-pitcher match-up, but as a non-clocked game, baseball could work. You would think of batting averages and on-base percentage as numbers to beat on a "thousand sided die" followed by a bunch of modifiers for the pitcher's stats. I'd really...

I upgraded to IE6 today and grabbing a bunch of updates, mine says 6.0.2600.0000 right now. Even after all the updates, I still can't open hyperlinks and second windows with IE6! It just makes a ricochet bullet sound effect and absolutely nothing else. What happened? Can anyone help? I'm on...

[/B] In my experience (and I guess all future ones until all participants have built-in voice phones) it is all typed, yes, with a "dicebot" to handle rolling. The typing makes the games quite slow. [/B] I used IRC (Internet Relay Chat). There are others out there with features like maps for...

Isn't the shugenja in OA a divine spellcaster who casts spontaneously like the sorcerer?

I hope it comes with a world map so awesome I will get it llamanated. It would go great in the library beside the tome of forbidden knowledge, the Necrollamacon.

I would if they didn't play the stupid trap (which doesn't exactly leave a lot of teams nowadays). Now I don't much care. If the Canadiens are the Yankees, does that mean the Leafs are the Red Sox? (huge fanbase, rivalry with "Yankees", storied franchise, often good but haven't won in the...

I wouldn't mind a second go-round with D&DG territory, covering the monster deities mentioned in DotF but not yet statted... and an Unearthed Arcana full of bits n' pieces.

Lawful Neutral Gnome Bard Ranger even though I claimed pranks were beneath me!

Check out the free web enhancement for "Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil" on the WotC site. I'd post a link to it but the site is down for me at the moment.

As for the Modern book.... the logo is cool (is the red d20 supposed to look "stamped" in? I like that) but I think why I didn't like the picture from first glance is the way that there is a figure on either side pushing my eye out of the cover and not inward. Imagine it with just the one dude...

BoVD is not as... "real" as I was expecting. Look at that latch thingy on the extreme right and the general sketchiness compared to other books. Oh well, something stitched out of humanoid skin would have been too sick I guess. Doesn't matter, I'll get it anyway!

Fenris - it's a campaign setting in a store-bought book: http://www.kenzerco.com/rpg/kalamar/

I was inspired to tackle something like this when I saw how languages worked in CoC d20. I also devised a 5-level system: 1 rank – the basics, what you might learn of a different language in grade school today. You can read typical signs in the language and have very simple conversation with a...

This is the current top 5 of what will be in my next campaign: 1) Star Wars-style WP/VP. 2) using PsiHB and ITCK, a point-based arcane magic system (still working on what to do with the psion). 3) you can break the ceiling on max ranks in skills but it gets expensive because they cost more...

Yeah, but there are lots of European players in the NHL, plus the Stanley Cup just looks ten times cooler. :) I'd be more dejected about the Leafs if I didn't have the new SW Core Book to pore over today.... you'd think the Ottawa Sens might get it right one of these years and a Montreal won't...
