I'll start work on the playtest write-ups tomorrow. And you're right, 20th level characters in play most definitely don't die in one round. Or two. Or three (unless you're really dumb, of course). Larcen, your classless suggestions are good. I'll stick them in the Macropedia (with your...

I answered "Nearly none, while there will be small differences, they are minor." because it's a closest match to what I think :D Depending on your style of play, some of the new classes and options are significantly more powerful than the base classes from core. The number of these though is...

And in other news: Christa has posted up the first draft of the cover for Big Shiny!! Here it is on her blog folks. Go tell her what you think :) Also, I need the names of all contributors so we can put them in the OGL license and contributor's page. If you've submitted a House Rule...

I love the phrase "iron out the kinks". It puts an image in my mind of the iconic '60s boy band (better than the beatles, IMHO) being steam pressed. It's going to take a while to shake that mental picture now :D My laptop decided to chew through the hard drive overnight, so I'm going to revive...

And none inferred :) Debate is good my friend, especially when it's about stuff we all agree is fun. +4 for STR 18, +1 for 1st level, +1 for being a Fighter (+1 damage too) = +6, so they get an additional attack at +1. That's cool too. I wouldn't want to play Microlite20 all the time...

Pilsnerquest, thanks for the feedback about the New Gods campaign setting. You're right, Pan males have it tough :) I'm more than tempted to run New Gods as a full campaign, and document the whole thing in a whole lot more detail than I put down so far. Maybe sometime, eh? Jezter, Microlite20...

I'm be waiting for all the "I prefer ENW1", "how can we re-create ENW1 using ENW2" and "who still uses ENW1" threads to start. Way to go guys! Keep up the good work, we wait with baited breath.

OSRIC - the tannin and alcohol powered role-playing game! Heh. I like.

Way to go!!! Congratulations. It's like giving birth when you reach something you're willing to call 1.00. Except without all the pain, blood and drugs. ok, sometimes it's exactly like that........ :) Congrats again.

On to Larcen's and other's (excellent) feedback. I'm still ploughing through the backlog, my apologies. 1) Redundant Base Stats Ultramicrolite20 works like that, using just bonuses as stats rather than a "3-18-ish" range. I kept the traditional range in Microlite20 simply because it's familiar...

Hey, who said I was benevolent? I never said I was benevolent! Shoot him! :D As it stands with Microlite20, the Core Rules are designed to be the bare miniumum needed to be able to play the game and still be mostly d20 compliant. By all means, add anything you need to make the game better fit...

Ry, I'm sure they could :) Kensanata, I'm going to do a full write up of the campaign setting soon (lest I forget too) so I'll make sure there's examples in there and a link to it from the OEMS page.

True. I'm sure this is a campaign setting we're going to revisit again (pardon the tautology). As the New Gods are basically finding and deciding their Holy portfolio as they go along, Tordeluous Miskahen could well end up being the God of Falling Masonry. Hey, stranger things have happened. I...

A clever player can do literally anything in the OEMS which is good as if reflects the reality-warping nature of magic, but can easily trash a game. In one encounter a bridge into a town was being held by Geneskins (big green mutated humans with ugly dental work - orcs, in other words). The New...

Yep, two very different, but good, books. PHBII presents options that are consistent with D&D's stock feel and style. If that's what you want, great. There's high points (the new feats and the Duskblade) and lows (Beguiler), but overall it's typical WoTC fair done well. On the other hand...

Exactly right. The Magi and Cleric's balancing factor is the HP cost for casting spells. Magic takes it's toll on mortal frames! Ry, the settig sounds great! In m20 terms, I'd suggest the following: Gunslinger: Fighter, with a Masterwork gun. If they use light armour, give them the ability to...

d20 Modern + d20 Past might be one route to go, perhaps. GURPS has some excellent WWII supplements available too. While d20M is more cinematic in feel, GURPS can add many layers of realism. It all depends on what you're after, I guess :)

Lol! I didn't expect that :D

Bretbo, thanks for the feeback. Your monsters look just fine to me; keep the stats to a minimum and concentrate on the descriptive text. That works best :) When it comes to monsters of varying sizes/ages, follow this rule: stat what you need. If you want a dragon the size of a large horse, then...

Darn. Curse you reviewers with a conscience! I'm glad to have you on board too, Jezter :)
