I have to ask: what did the revision do to the setting? What seperates the "Brom era" from the "revised boxed set"?

Players like their toys. Is calculating the costs of magic item once every level or so REALLY that much of a problem? If they whine, it means they care. It means they don't want to die. At any rate, there are variants on raise dead that take care of this issue (e.g. the "negative level for X...

My players rarely name their parties. The current one, though, is called "The Fantastic Four". :uhoh:

With respect, I've offered an alternative. As written, the new information on TOS says that once you publish something on Gleemax you can't publish it anywhere else. This, I believe, is just poor wording - you're not allowed to publish material based on Wizard's IP on your site anyways, the...

Very interesting indeed. An excellent post. I like this approach a lot, too. This is a very cool thread. :cool:

It's linked from the semi-official fansite, so it wasn't too hard to find :D But you're welcome. :)

For me, this was pretty much my reaction to Blue Rose. And Iron Hereos. But not so much True20. In comparison with Blue Rose, True20 is more generic. It lacks the rules for dark sorcery, and the wonderful temptations of using Conviction to power it. The fixed Toughness, not increasing with...

I would note that the rules materials from Midnight is available in the Darkness Falls SRD. I really like the setting, don't have any experience with the mechanics though.

Very nice. Thanks. I tried running MapTools, but it's running abyssamly slow on my computer. :( I suspect it's the memory, as it has only a little (128 MB, IIRC) and I think most of it is used by other programs (such as Windows...). I'll try to make things work. Fantasy Grounds looks...

Boy, you're in trouble if you had to hire me :eek: Nightmare & Dream: A setting-neutral book providing DMs with an evil organization invading reality from the plane of dreams. The book details the dreamlands, how the Shadow (?) corrupted them, and mechanics to allow the DM to insert the...

It doesn't really provide epic level rules. I wrote a review of it here. The book essentially provides a new track for character advancement, completely unrelated to XP and levels. It is flavorful, but the system is a mess of baroque complexity and unbalanced. It is intended to work alongside...

I've yet to see a good solution to this problem, and I do find it a problem in my games. I don't like your suggestion, though, as it disallows not just going nova but rather manifesting high level (well, high PP) powers. The "one quarter PP per encounter" rule is interesting. I'm afraid it...

FIFY :D If you present a significant amount of text worded like WotC's text but posted before WotC published theirs, a court will tend to find that WotC copied your work. You don't have to establish the exact way WotC saw your work, the mere fact that it's similar is evidence enough that it...

I think there is actually only one gaming store in Israel. And it's about 2 hours drive away, plus parking in down-town, and probably won't have large numbers of dice on the cheap. So I'm better off purchasing online; it will take a little time to get here, but it'll be cheaper and far less of a...

Birthright's agreement with Wizards, written by "Jim Butler, Brand Manager D&D Worlds Wizards of the Coast, Inc.", can be seen here. I'm not sure of the date, but the page also includes policy set by David Wise, from 2007. It seems like WotC has a very specific agreement and relationship with...

Thanks a lot everyone. Now I've got a lot of options to consider :) :cool:

I'd recommend the Monster Geographica series. Each is a massive collection and revision of OGC monsters (no pictures, though). I only read the Underground one, but it was most excellent. In terms of aberrations, I particularly remember the Mastermind (or was it Undermind?), a mind-affecting...

I had one player that seems to enjoy them very much. They add fun, IMO, as they allow him to do neat stuff he wouldn't have without them. I suppose they are a little bit of a power boost, but I've yet to run into a really broken instance and we play with so many splat-books and so on that this...

Atlas is selling 40 Years of Gen Con in Gen Con, I think this is the gen con you're talking about here, right... ?
