Alchemist Fire and Acid Flasks are big on my lists. Players will literally ignore +5 Greatswords of Vorpal Nifty Keeness and Archwizard's Staff of Continent Destruction, either in use or in treasure, for alchemists fire and acid. I don't understand it, because in most case alchemist's weapons...

Re: My contribution I like this a lot! And now for my take on the Stronginthearm Piecemaker, because as we all know, it's not the levels that make the hero, it's the weapon's they're carrying. Exotic, Huge, Ranged Piecemaker, 3d6, 19-20/3x crit, 100' range. It takes 6 rounds to reload the...

This sounds really cool, I personally would like to see stats for Vimes and the Night's Watch, but then I feel that Ankh-Morpork is the definitive urban setting, as "all other cities are but reflections and shadows" or something like that. But personally I think that this is pretty easy if you...

As a big fan of aSoIaF, I think that any sort of d20 treatment is good, as GRRM has stated that while be plays RPGs, he doesn't much like D&D. As for spellcasters, I would keep the Ranger(Warg) and Assassin(Faceless Man) as they are, but require PC to really play the class to get all the...

I would recommend splitting, either 2 of 6 or 3 of 4, 12 people is just too many to run effectively, but if you really must. People should have their action ready early. Get a tray or container to hold the dice rolls so they don't take forever. If they want to do anything special, have the book...

Wait, your forgetting what may be one of the most sucktackular movies of all time, based on a game. Wing Commander. I saw it, but I don't remember anything except that there were bad English accents and something about 'Pilgrims'. I am still thankful to this day that that's all I remember...
