Hi randomling, as has been said before, dont stress too much about your dming sucking - if it really did, people wouldnt play under you! That said, there are two key things that have drastically improved my dming recently (I have run some good games, but Ive had my share of die-offs), but...

Amen to that - theres but some (somewhat) justified grumbling from some people about the cost of printing out a pdf, but if you can print at work or wherever, you're away laughing. however, even without that, pdfs are great - the low cost of them means you can take a gamble on some stuff, and...

yes and no - there are some guidelines, sort of. Essentially, thereis a chart 'spellcasting level' which dictates magic points/highest spell level/number of spell lists etc. This corresponds directly with caster level in the standard magic system. Other aspects - dependent on the spell...

Hi there - I've picked up EoM and it is awesome - it really puts a different spin on magic. Like RW said, divination magic is largely skill based now - everything from augury to object reading to clairvoyance is all based off skills and DC's. Ditto dispelling. The pdf also has an interesting...

In the dying days of 2e, we tended to start at higher levels - 3rd through to 7th. That was due to more interest in Birthright style games, where the players are supposed to be princes etc. And also, yes, I think we had 'done the dash' as far as low levels go. In 3e though, we havent been...

The only name ive seen banned - we sometimes have some slightly whimsical names (Dred the Wizard anyone) - was when a player who was trying to figure out a name for a Vargr character. We were giving him some sh:eek: t and were suggesting that he be called Rex - he was about to go for it, when...

We've had the "you all emerge from your malfunctioning hibernate-pods in the hold of a spaceship bound for mars" that worked quite well - we havent done the "you meet in a tavern since we had an unfortunate incident with the dark elf... DM "ok, now that you guys have met, you spot in the...

woo-hoo - less than 12hours since the first post, and the paladin arguement came up! Excellent work guys!:D Unfortunately your argument was disturbingly civil and reasoned. Grumble... :(

LN - with serious E tendencies....

Depends. theyve gotta go somewhere - either taking up back-room npc positions - that way they can cameo in new campaigns. or they can move on to other planes/worlds. (so they stay out of the way). OTOH if the player is retiring a character mid-game because he's "the character isnt working...

cyberzombie: thanks - I assumed that the nonOGL-ness of those feats were why no conversions were given or alluded to. Im sure the user community will come up with something in short order. Cheers :D

gotta add my 5c* - got it yesterday, have some quiblbles with it, but overall a great book! Normally Im not a big fan of dnd spell point systems, but the spell point + Spell list (reminicent of RM) system looks very workable. As for the grumbles about the cleric, (which are somewhat valid), Im...

For a d20 modern game (depending on what sort of game it is), the following info might make a good start on character background.. Family: Are they alive, how many siblings, relationships, extended family. Friends/acquaintances/contacts: what relationships the player has with others, do they...

Well, since you have established: You dont want to game without your friend You have talked to him, but he doesnt understand that he is doing anything 'wrong' It is seriously bothering you From your description it is likely to be bothering the other players. The players personal behaviour isn't...

mmmm thanx for the hint.

i'd go with the make your own, but if you wnat to buy some kit, Military Simulations have the chessex megamats - just go to their online catalog/minis/minis accessories.

I worked for a french company in London, and after a serious night out on the tiles, and some disgraceful behaviour from myself involving 2 jugs of vodka redbull and a camera, and voila! La Bete du TGM, later shortened to la bete

slight thread hijack... most excellent! Transhuman space has to be my fave gurps setting material. I bought gurps bio-tech years ago in paris, and its great to see a setting use it! On more thread related notes, gups lite is perfectly adequate for the basics - but as has been mentioned, if...

while i dont normally indulge in nolstalgia.... X1 (?) The Isle of Dread (Basic D&D) I played or DMed this module in Basic/1e/2e, and will probably encounter a thoroughly modified version of it in 3e. As for 3e - probably Return to the Temple etc....

its pretty high on my 'must buy' list - for the rolemaster flavour alone!!
