Maybe we're talking in different contexts, but Palladium did go after Wizards of the Coast pretty severely back before Wizards was really on the map (before M:tG). I'm fairly certain the dispute was over generic conversion rules in the Primal Order books.

I've always liked doing up my own sheets, even if something better is out there, whenever I pick up a new game. It helps give me a feel for the game, I think. I'll attach my sheets here, although you'll likely find one of the other sets more to your liking. The color was chosen as the original...

I got a laptop a few weeks ago (got a fairly good price through Dell small business) and picked up DM Genie as I had tried the demo out once a while back and liked it. But now that I have it and a machine to run it on, I'm finding myself highly intimidated... I'm no programer. Sure I can figure...

I chose option #4 as I guess it best describes me. Back in the day I almost always used a screen, but I was accused constantly of "pulling punches" and not letting my NPCs kill the PCs when they could. Since I started running 3.5e I've made it a habit to roll everything in the open. The players...

In my opinion it won't be as useful to others without mechanics (although it might be a decent place to scavenge for ideas for games that do have mechanics). But, if you don't have plans to use it as a platform for games immediately, you might as well get the fluff fleshed out for the purposes...

I'm a guy but I have a girl who plays in my tabletop games, and as the only member of my group that visits ENworld I feel I kind of represent the whole group. So I'm posting for Annette, the significant other of one of my friends who got into gaming just to do something with her boyfriend and...

If the living characters are paying for, or casting themselves, the spells necessary to bring back their fallen allies 'in character'... then you have to expect their decision on who to use the spell on to be 'in character' as well. You should respect the player's decisions he or she has made...

This is, as others have stated, an issue with the shipping company and not the retailer. Perhaps, given the accounts posted here, the retailer should consider posting a note on their shipping page alerting the buyer to the possability of delays. I would completely expect a deep discounter to use...

I don't think you can break it down to a number of years. You prepare a new edition when the old edition is no longer functional (or, to be realistic, profitable). I think we have a nice while to wait for a new edition of D&D as a new campaign setting and several seemingly successful sourcebook...

From most of my reading and discussions with people 'in the know' about martial arts I've come to pretty much the same conclusion. The tradition sai, as a martial arts weapon, was used heavily for blocking/parrying and weapon breaking. Using it as a weapon wouldn't be out of the question, and...

You could do this with almost any graphics program. Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, or GIMP could do it; and so could other programs. THoe first two should have "free for 30 day" trials, and GIMP has been ported to Windows and is available for free (AFAIK). Of course the final quality of the...

I can't really help, sorry. I'm just curious. Have you absolutely ruled out Neverwinter Nights? I've never used it, but heard you can put together modules using the supplied rules/art fairly easily once you've gotten the hang of it, and if you want to get into the code I think you can do that...

Most of the novels bored me to tears, although I might do better with them now that I'm a bit older. I remember being really taken with the characters in the 'Tribe of One' trilogy (The Outcast, The Seeker, and The Nomad). I wish I would have gotten the magazines with the updated Darksun...

The above link might be your best bet. Your other option is just to keep an eye out for decent sales at the various manufacturer sites. I purchased a Dell two days ago (should be here in two weeks). It isn't the latest and greatest thing on the block, but I'm happy with the purchase. 1.5G...

I have an older version of CC2, but I never use it. The learning curve was just too steep for me. I'm sure I could have figured it out, but I couldn't see putting that much time into a program I really wouldn't use *that* much. I'm told the newest edition of CC2 is a bit simpler to use...

I, personally, would up all of those by x1. So no cover would be x2 and 3/4 cover would be x1. Keep the reflex save for half. I've seen more than my share of bike accidents, and most of the time the bike comes out looking better than the rider... Just how I'd do it.

I never mind a plug when its on topic. I hadn't heard of the book before, but I'll definately be looking into it as an option for my setting. Thanks.

Okay, the game I am looking to put together isn't exactly cyberpunk, but I'm looking for cybernetics to be about as prolific as they are in games like Shadowrun. I kind of like the general feel of the cyber rules from D20:F. There isn't any connection/penalty to magic use, nor do you become...

I haven't read the entire thread, but I've skimmed thoroughly. I'm a little surprised at the number of people assuming the GM was in the right based on a single line of dialogue. So far as the rules go, sure the GM can make whatever rules he likes, and if the players don't like it they can leave...

Touchy subject, but I'll give it a shot... How do you incorporate homosexuality in your campaign world? Don't try to. I'm not saying not to include the ocasional gay character or whatever, but stop trying to find a way to hilight it. If you try to hilight the gay culture as a separate culture...
