I'm not sure if IH is a low-prep game, but it is certainly a game where the designer took DM prep-time and running-effort into account. It is designed to let the PCs play with intricately complex characters while allowing the DM to use pre-statted monsters, quickly-statted Villain Classes, or...
Just wanted to add that you can't change things in a way that's based on closed content. So, for example, it wouldn't be wise to expand that deity entry to include talk of the relations to the deity's brother if the fact that they are brothers and so on isn't released as OGC.
Trivial, but...
Impossible for me to say as I don't know most settings. Of the few I do know, both Greyhawk and Mystara work well, but I prefer Greyhawk. (Forgotten Realms I don't like, especially not for a generic campaign.) Getting your hand on a good book on either might be difficult, though (but you can...
I was very surprised to see an add at the bottom of the page related to my country, Israel. Clicking on it, I was led to an extreme right-wing site. From it:
I think this testifies to the site's content.
I don't particularly mind, but I am surprised. I don't get it. Isn't ENWorld supposed to...
Reading this, I was reminded of Ars Magica 3rd Edition. It has an excellent yet fairly simple and elegant magic system, and a simple but effective combat system (although it could use some tweaks). The game is very different from D&D, although I wouldn't say it's "innovative", and it does have...
I think it's nearly impossible to seriously contemplate what magic would do to a setting. It's particularly difficult as the specific details of what that magic is are very important. I remember a 0th or 1st level cleric spell that prevented the dead from rising as undead, for example; that...
Sounds like you want to DM, and aren't particularly enjoying his game. Compete. Set up your own game that you DM, and try to make it so you will play in his game and DM yours, and the other players could join your game without letting go of his too. Perhaps have the game less frequently or...
Pretty impressive. I didn't get how much this things weighs, but it seems fairly light and with impressive stopping power.
The capability to do damage still outstrips our ability to protect from damage, broadly speaking. Not even a tank can withstand a high-quality explosive charge or missile...
Favored Soul (Complete Divine)
I played one, albeit briefly and online. I found it annoying - you are battle-focused on one hand, but need to buff on the other. It's just clumsy. (Choosing offensive spells from the cleric's spell list is a bit of a joke.)
Psychic Warrior (Expanded Psionics...
Oh, if we're making a list then you can add A Magical Medieval Society: City Guide (although it may require registration), and Wizard's art and map galleries, and their web enhancements, and Paizo's dungeon downloads which are excellent for maps and adventure tidbits (their Age of Worms Overload...
Uhm yes, of course. Me Too :D
Plane Sailing: No, I don't remember, but there are very honorable and worthy things on the list of things I don't remember. It's rather long.
Oh, I understand the point. It's the way it goes about it that I find confusing. :)
Thanks for your kind and informative replies, as ever.
Yair
Edit: I'd like to add that the reason for my confusion, I think, is that I think of Product Identity as little nuggets of dark-matter in a sea of...
Couldn't help but notice the WotC ads for their miniatures in this site (guess they're doing their job then - well, at least drawing attention to themselves, which is a start). I'm wondering if this is a new development - did WotC had commercials over at ENWorld previously? If not, is this part...
Although it isn't directly related, the NPC Wiki provides useful free NPCs. I'm sure I've seen a list of free settings as well, but can't seem to locate it.
As far as a list of everything free - no, I am not aware of such. I was recently reminded of the OpenExchange project (I believe you were...
