    Using Modern Player's Companion feats in a D&D Game

    Why not? If anything the question is why bother in a standard DnD game, as magical bonuses and the like are usually more common.

    Nova Wars Baby!

    Here are my questions: Doesn't look like it. No prices either, for armour. I think you called it ver. 0.2

    Nova Wars Baby!

    Welcom back Ralts! Hey, are you going to revisit the weapons and armour stuff you were doing a few weeks back? A couple of us had a few questions, and if it's possible, it would be great to see what you thought of them. Cheers mate.

    Why _DON'T_ You Buy Dragon Magazine?

    Like many others, I do buy dragon but I'm not sure I'll keep buying Dragon. I mostly buy it now to collect. And like others, I'm pretty sure one reason is that Dungeon is now the killer mag. All the good stuff from Dragon is in Dungeon now, and given that I DM primarily, all the useful stuff is...

    Ars Magica 5th

    Check Modern Magic by The Game MEchanics. It has a very similar system broken down like the UA Incantations for d20 use. It for all classes however.

    Earthsea - Review

    Ghod, everytime Le Guin comes up, people seem to be projecting things on to her on the basis of one bad book. The Farthest Shore, which followed Tehnau was amazing. Tales of Earthsea , the short story colelction that also came out recently, includes perhaps the best of the earthsea stories. One...

    How do you handle Summon Monster spells?

    We kinda use our own. Clerics can use any creature that shares an alignment with the cerlic's god. So a cleric of a chaotic good god can summon CN, CG and NG creatures, aw well as anarchic and celestial templated ones. In addition, if a god offers an elemental domain, they can summon cratures...

    [d20F] Designing a spaceship from scratch?

    This is more or less what I want as well. I want the detail of Warships at least, although not the complexity necessarily.

    Paranoia XP

    Yeah, I played in Martin's game last night and had a blast. Sorry i was so tired Martin... This was the first paranoia experience for all of us, bar one person, so I guess I want to ask a question - is it normal for half the game session to be spent trying to kill your fellow troubleshooters?

    How Many of You Ignore New Cruch?

    I buy CS for rules mostly. I homebrew, but occasionally by a CS. I look at the ideas, but most of them I don't rip off for fluff. I have other sources for that.

    D20 Modern Wish List

    Well, given you'd probaby get paid on delivery, why don't you just write it and then shop it around to the usual suspects?

    Why I struggle to run D20 Modern games

    You mean in terms of describing it right? Cos in game terms, it's pretty easy - you roll a disable device check. In terms of descbing it, well, that doesn't seem that difficult to me, but obviously some people are going to want more description that I do.

    Why I struggle to run D20 Modern games

    I think you're getting too hung up on the detail. Good stories are more or less good stories. And if you don't know what the ACTUAL sewers look like, chances are neither do you players. Make a good guess and go with it. Just like you don't know what it's like to be in the Mafia or in the...

    D20 Modern Wish List

    That's a FANTASTIC idea. And, while I know about Spycraft, D20: Espionage would be a good 96 pager... Great Game, Cold War, anti-terror and future.

    d20 Game Mechanics Help?

    I'd really, really recomend just playing for a while till you get a handle on things before you start mucking with the classes etc. Buy some modules, and play through them. The Dungeon magazine 'Shackld City' adventures are good, and the 3e adventure path series (standing stone etc) are also...

    D20 Modern Wish List

    What abut free ones? I understand your perspective, but given how badly DnD adventures tend to sell, d20 Modern print adventures are an insane idea.

    Why would you ever get Burst weapons?

    Well, my players have two burst weapns in the party - an acid burst waraxe and a icy burst rapier. Weapons with good crit ranges are fun with the burst, and given that the rapier is wielded with by a rogue type with no strength he enjoys it. The axe was an heirloom, but it seems to do good...
