Yup, I agree, especially for a straight-up modern game, like a military scenerio for example, without funky stuff like magic, psionics, etc. The Jedi do not bother me in SAGA, though, and I understand that at higher levels their "showboating" does diminish, as the other classes catch up in...

I agree with your second point (!) but would much rather see d20M based on the SW SAGA rules than on D&D 4e. It just seems better suited to me.

Seconded. I have no interest in the electronic tools (beta or otherwise), and relatively little in Dungeon, but would be happy to pick up Dragon exclusively. If there was a print version, even better still, but now I am just dreaming... ;)

James- That is precisely the flavor that I was going for with my character. He is much less Conan, and much more Pwent (from the RA Salvatore books). Nevertheless, I take pukunui's point about the "feel" of the Barbarian wearing armor. It is fine for the class to work with the "Dwarven...

I thought I would throw out my playtest observations, but will do it as a quick summary since it really echoes lots of posts already here. I am playing in the Forgotten Realms RPGA, with all chargen following those rules. My character is Durg Heavyheft, a Dwarf Barbarian that uses a Rage...

It might be a tricky conversion, but this mini looks fantastic: Oz Painters :: View topic - Dragonborn

HC- I like the model structure and can see where the exterior will look great with some cover and weathering effects, but am not following your intent; are you going to build level-by-level floors? If so, how will you mechanically handle minis on each level concurrently? If not, how will you...

Klaus- Suggestion seconded. It is useful mechanically with both Cha and invisibility for a rogue, but also thematically for a Half-Elf derived from "High-Elf Magic" or somesuch.

Frankly, in 3.5e, I would suggest either using Human stats (likely better mechanically for paladin) or Elf stats and calling him a Half-Elf. Done.

Exactly.

Jack- I think the quality is excellent for Dragon (on par with Paizo) and good for Dungeon (a bit of a step down from Paizo there FWIW). I would happily pay at that price point for a print magazine. However, I do not like the electronic format, especially without an easy print-on-demand...

Buzz- I agree in concept with your point, but would observe that the more players are "interested and engaged" the faster combat tends to go. Wandering attention is what sucks away time-- when folks are really worried about that last hit taking them into negative hp they stay focused on their...

I am planning to take it for my Infernal Warlock, after multiclassing with Swordmage. After spending some feats on Hide Armor and Light Shield Proficiencies, he will be a credible melee opponent using his Pact Blade. Stylistically, I think he will play like a Swordmage-- but less flashy. ;)...

TS- Hey, with this much demand, you should self-publish a pdf and *sell* your guidelines! But in the meantime, please add me to the email request list. Heh. rowport (at) yahoo (dot) com Thanks!

Darkwolf- I was toying with the idea of doing some Star Frontiers conversions with a mix of D&D4e and d20 Modern/d20 Future, but realize that Wraith Recon could save me a lot of effort so was thinking about picking it up. I am surprised that there are no new races or classes though-- how do...

I agree with this, and would see an Egyptian vibe coming in--lots of mummies and dark haunted tombs. Basically, the desert of Dark Sun collides with the desert of Ravenloft.

That is a pretty cool theory. I did not think of that. I have been bugged by how two bullets could take out Future Peter, and I have a theory (which also led me to one about Future Sylar/Gabriel). Here it is: That version of Peter did not have fast healing because he never saved Claire in...

Hey, SteelWind! I generally agree with your point, although I am more interested in the characterization than the silly plot. FWIW, I thought Gabriel's hesitation to act causing the "chain reaction" (heh-- watch the show...) was *good* writing, in highlighting the irony of his not wanting to...

Hey, Joe! Your point about the power-sucking Haitian is a good one; in fact, I found myself puzzled whether he was or was not always affecting the Heroes (like when he left the room leaving The Pres with Peter). Umm. Good move there... And sure, there are plot holes galore in the series...
