Oh, excellent! Can you post your CSS file(s)? That would give those of us who can work on new color schemes a template to go off of. Thanks!

I have all the books except for the original boxed set. Most of them I picked up used on eBay. I pull them out every now and then. I ran a Dark*Matter one-shot last New Year's Eve (which hopefully will be continued this next New Years Eve) and another one for another group this summer. I still...

This should be a great upgrade. I'm so-so on the new theme, but the underlying technology has me excited. It sounds like it will really move things forward. I know, I know, I'm such a geek. :P

How about including a $5-$10 off coupon for the PHB, MM, or DMG in the basic set? I know if I was a 12 year old, that coupon would be greatly appreciated. And for those that already have the core books but buy the basic set, the coupon could be passed on to get someone else in on the game.

I think I just found my next modern game. Thanks!

Looking over the PDF's on the site, this project has piqued my interest. But a few questions: One of my big complaints about d20 Modern was how super human the PCs could get. So, I stuck with Alternity. It was the only game I knew that could model a drive by shooting where it sends a war vet...

You will probably get a better response if you post in the d20 Modern, d20 System & OGL Games located here: http://www.enworld.org/forumdisplay.php?f=9 Perhaps a moderator will be kind enough to move the post there. With that said, I find it is best to pick a theme for your modern game...

I'll chime in and repeat the mantra of make them optional. In 3.5E terms make it like the ranger's combat style. In Star Wars Saga terms make it a talent tree. Therefore, you choose a familiar/animal and the familiar/animal gets better as you invest talents/feats into it. Of course, you can...

I'm sure that will happen to some extent. They will probably tell us you don't need the new PHB to play the setting of the year, but it would definitely expand the game. Besides, the cross promotion would help sell more books.

Don't forget the Donner Party! In all seriousness, here a few more ideas: Civil war/feuding warlords - Caravan enters a territory where a civil war is happening. Each of the feuding warlord want to exclusively trade with the caravan. Model your warlords after some of the horrendous fighting in...

When I mean rewriting, I mean the rewriting of the wizard class or the changes to the divine power source. Sorry for the confusion. The combat, ability scores, etc. can be reprinted in the same way quick start rules are.

If the PHB/MM/DMG sequels are modular, then there isn't a problem. If each power source can be swapped in and out along with its associated classes and/or races then there shouldn't be a problem and really opens up the game for some interesting options. What happens in a world with no arcane...

I haven't read anything to confirm or deny this, but I'm hoping it gives everything needed to play as a stand-alone book with the possible exception of character creation rules.

My thoughts exactly. I'm much more likely to buy PHB X, Y, or Z than Complete X, Y, or Z. I think it also means it is easier to customize homebrew settings. You can list which power sources are allowed. Want to run an oriental adventures game, use Marital, Ki (speculating), and Arcane. Want...

Honestly, this is what I'm hoping for. Give me the best of both worlds: a Psionics power source which keeps the best of the 3.5 psi material some pseudo-science included (crystals can be dropped though) and then a Ki power source that encompasses martial arts and "Eastern mysticism". But...

We really should have read the signs and portents. First, we have gnomes getting shafted by having their favored class as Bard in 3.5. This was just a move to make people less likely to play a gnome resulting in an easier exit from the core rules in 4e. Then there is the subliminal messaging...

It seems like since the precedent has been set, FR must have a catastrophe to explain the rule changes. But honestly, I'd love for the timeline to be advanced 500-900 years, so as to allow a "starting over". Rebuild all that is great and lovable about the realms, axe what doesn't work, and not...

Not bored, but it probably helps that my gaming group took a break from D&D this summer and played a bunch of other games: Dogs in the Vineyard, Spirit of the Century, Alternity, and board games. So, everyone was itching to give D&D another go when 4e was announced. I thought briefly about...

There are character generators out there. SQuAT and WALTER come to mind. Alterntyrpg.net should have links to both. Most Alt players I know use optional rules 2A and 2B, sometimes throwing in 2C. I would highly recommend your GM and group at least use 2A&B. They can be found here...

I really like it. It does a great job of tying in D&D's art history and giving it an updated, more modern, look.
