Yes. My 2e games are part of the backstory of the 3e world. However, the next 3e games I play are in an entirely new and unrelated campaign world, so no history carries over. When I return to my original world, new campaigns will either be set in the past or in another region (possibly both)...

Lilied (adj.): From the Bug Bunny cartoons where he staggers around holding a lily before (pretending) to be dead. Used to mean an opponent is within one successful attack of being dead, most especially anything in single digit HP. Zoom Up (v.): post-combat healing; from a campaign where the GM...

A darkness that's really dark. An invisibility that's improved. A harm that's actually in line with the other 6th level death effect spells. The overwhelming attractiveness of alt.rangers. A blindness that can't be cured with a dispel magic. I've always found that lassos or dart guns, manacles...

Hmm... I guess I've never really thought about it before. I guess one thing I'd caution you against is thinking that world-building is a linear experience, the way some tutorials suggest. It's a kind of drunkard's walk though subjects and level of detail (at least for me). And it isn't all...

Shrug. Repeat that and swap spellcaster progression for manifester progression, and you have the unmodified Earth Dreamer from RoS, which is a no brainer for wizards and bards (and maybe druids, if it wasn't for wildshape). I'd observed the hit, but never analyzed the psionic PrCs, so just...

An adaptation of the Earth Dreamer (from Races of Stone) to Air, with psionics substituted for spells. Questions, comments, suggestions are all welcomed. Air Dreamer No place on Darelth is untouched by the wind. The wind carries secrets and power, and the air dreamer shares them both. Quote...

My next campaign will mix AE and psionics, and I've seen a number of posts regarding some mix of AE/D&D, here, at Monte's, and at WotC's boards. I think a large part of the visibility issue is that almost everyone approaches the mix differently. Moreover, if the GM is actually trying to unify...

Harvey Comics, the LARP/RPG. WoD: Suburbia (or maybe not.) Kid's Show: The Collectible Card Strategy Game Right. I tap two Cereal Sponsors and a Hip Toy, and Cap't Wallaby gains 5 market share. Not so fast. I tap a Media Hype, and destroy your Hip Toy with Only A Fad.

It's one great big huge rules <-> world feedback loop. The world determines bits of the rules, the rules determine bits of the world. Rinse, repeat.

Waaaayyyy back when LotR:Fellowship came out, there was "Sauron of the Pokey Helmet". I believe SotPH wrote a series of posts detailing the War of the Ring from Sauron's POV. (I know *someone* did, it just may not have been SotPH). It was absolutely hilarious. And ranked right up there with...

Add another voice to the craziness. As I mention in my sig, I'm doing a blend. In quick summary: AE non-casters Psionics (-Divine mind), and no other casters (except the Shadowcaster) Scout, Warlock, and Shadowcaster (the last as a prestige class. Only 4 intelligent races (and real races not...

One more point to "core" - without the ELH, how will you stat the 28th level commoners and 24th level experts (DMG 3.5, pg. 139)?

Yeah, but the d20 skill system doesn't really have enough differentiation to model the good/medium/bad BAB progression. If you like skill-based combat though, you might want to check out HARP or Rolemaster.

But he has to take a power to do it. In the other two systems, he can do it based solely off his normal stats, with out having to buy powers. And if having to buy a power for Batman (the quinessential non-powered hero) isn't an indicator of a flaw in MM's system, I don't know what is. Moreover...

I'll second that. You can easily build both Batman, Superman, and everything in between. It suffers at the low end of the power spectrum, but those folks are NPCs in most mainstream Supers, so it really isn't much of an issue. I have MM, and looked really seriously at MM2. Neither are as...

Nope. They represent something more long the size of a large cocker spaniel, a beagle, basset hound or something similar. Riding dogs are the size of newfies, St Bernards, etc. Use the wolf stats for things like German Shepherds, Rotweillers, and Huskies. The size down grade that ED gives is...

I ...AM.... INVINCIBLE! You cannot win. Milk? Kiiirk!

Does that mean if I advance an animal more than 4 HD I can't put it's stat plus-up into Int?

I can't offer much more in the ways of recommendations; everyone's already stolen my thunder. But if you want an opportunity to say "at least I'm not *that* poor fool" just follow the link in my sig.

Wizard: I've got my Wand of Fireballs. Why would I want to ally with a Sorceror? Wizard, as "coincidental" aside to an apprentice while a sorceror walks past: Sorcerors are a classic example of the beauty/brains dichotomy, and they're not nearly as entertaining as bards.
