I didn't much care for Cybergeneration either. The combat system in the earlier versions was very nasty and based on "real life". Which only goes to show that real life makes for a crappy RPG. Pretty much everyone had firearms, when you shot you pretty much missed, and when you did get hit...

GROAN!!!!!!!! :D

Yeah. The problem there was the movie was essentially a comedy, or at least an action-comedy. The trailer didn't indicate that at all.

There's the New Orleans charity PDF I'm a fan of all Ronin Arts stuff in general. I got the Iron Heroes PDF which I like a great deal Classic adventures are good so you can participate in edition wars with sharp edged efficacity. I am personally a huge fan of the old Gazeteers, paricularly...

Just the passage of time. Which is to say: crafting.

Thanks. :) And tell that brother of yours I said Merry Christmas!

Neat way to summarize the issue. I shall steal this phrase and use it to impress people at cocktail parties.

Kinda like how I'd rather enjoy a martini in a bar than drink a bottle of vodka alone at home. The social aspect is there if I want it, but I don't always want it.

Hey now! That can be a very useful ability if chaotic evil smurfs are running amuck in your game world!

I think a more significant factor is that Eberron is highly zoned. They even have several areas that are meant to be "outdoor dungeons" (like that place where you can't heal). It also has things like magical transport from area to area, common in MMORPGs. Artificers promote magic items for...

1) It's fun for some people. Like me. 2) Edition wars never go out of style. Kind of like pants. Ever hear of pants going out of style? Nope!

Quoted for truth. A lot of these min/max'd characters don't have to slog through the levels of the game. So if you have an uber character that shines at 7th level, you still have to go through 6 levels of being not much. Another problem is that these characters in 3e can be one-trick ponys...

There's a metric ton of D&D stuff that is perfectly balanced for small unit combat, but would completly break a society. Teleport and raise dead come to mind. But I know what you mean. There's no reason there would not be a line to qualify for this PrC and then the guy could sell off whatever...

3e lets players make a lot more choices. In 2e, you picked your class, race, kit, and alignment. From then on the only decision you got to make was skills/non-weapon proficiencies. 3e lays out very real, obtainable, mechanical goals. All of which is a nice way of saying that there's a heck...

I'm very sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

The problem with doing D&D well is that D&D was meant to be played once a week with about four or five encounters per session. That's about 30 to 45 minutes of CRPG time. Also D&D has 20 levels before you go epic, that really needs to be broken down a lot more finely. People need to level...

OK, I like Mike Mearls and I like his work, I'm a big fan of Iron Heroes. But I gotta say he's not just off base, he's out in the bleachers. The Marketplace is excellent for innovation and the more people participating the more innovation you get. You also get a lot of crap, but that's the...

The documentary on this one again did not have much to do with the cast. It covered the first minute of the Ovi-Anikin fight and the amazing ammount of technical resources that went into it. Something like 70,000 man hours and hundreds of people (including chefs, etc). It was basicaly a big...

If you print yourself, use a laser printer ALWAYS! I recently printed a 256 and a 96 page book. $12. Suggestions: If you have a PDF editor, edit off the front and back pages. Convert the file to black and white. Do not print color. The extra money for double sided is worth it. Mine are...

Ptolus Ptolus Ptolus ... then I'd bind the three copies together out of jungle vines and have a raft!
