    Long Time Gamma World fans - is the d20 game worth it?

    That Omega World one must have slipped under the radar for me... but then, I had kinda given up on the GW line, and didn't even notice the Alternity version come out (or Alternity itself for that matter, heh) until quite awhile after was on the market. Thanks for the ideas though DMH. I've been...

    Long Time Gamma World fans - is the d20 game worth it?

    Hi all, I've been playing Gamma world since it first came out, waaaaay back with the black and white cover rulebook, through the torturous 2nd edition mechanics, and the strange Marvel SH-esc 3rd edition, and I even picked up a couple of the 4th edition books, although I haven't played that...

    Diplomacy and Bluff roll made in my game... your assistance if you please.

    To me, both the roll and what the player say have equal importance. It makes the player think to come up with a good excuse. If this was tabletop, I might be more lenient, but he's got a couple of days to come up with something better than that. :) I'm gonna give the draconian a +15 to his...

    Diplomacy and Bluff roll made in my game... your assistance if you please.

    Just so that I'm not just going off my own "WTF?" reaction on this, I'd like to get the community's opinion on this particular scenario... here are the posts from my Dragonlance game on the dndadventure.com forum (I thought I'd ask here as this is an unbiased group). To set this up, I am...

    Galactic Empire: Serving the New Order(Full)

    Well, my CompForce trooper isn't the highest level character, and he'd defer to the ISB agent as his superior, so I wouldn't be a good choice for leader... yet. heh. ;)

    I'm making my CompForce soldier 2nd level. I'm currently just working out his equipment and history and such, but here's what I have so far... (slight update) Name: GAIR RANNICK Class: SOLDIER Race: HUMAN Size: M Gender: MALE Str: 15 +2 Level: 2 XP: XXXX Dex: 14 +2 BAB: +2...

    Galactic Empire: Serving the New Order(Full)

    exactly... I think maybe making it an army trooper but with +3 Sympathy, and +2 to Knowledge (New Order) and +2 Intimidation... starting with similar or slightly better equipment (since CompForce is described as always being better equipped than the army, much to the army's frustration, heh). Or...

    Galactic Empire: Serving the New Order(Full)

    Hmmm... how about COMPNOR CompForce trooper? Kinda like an Army trooper, but with ties to ISB. I'd take a 1st or 2nd level in that case...

    Galactic Empire: Serving the New Order(Full)

    Oh, you know what? I totally missed that yangnome chose an ISB agent before me... sorry! I think I'm gonna switch to something else to avoid overlap... I don't wanna steal his thunder at all. :) I'll come up with something quick... gimme a little time. :)

    Galactic Empire: Serving the New Order(Full)

    I wouldn't mind taking the last slot if you're willing. I've been roleplaying since 1978 and GMing Star Wars (in both d6 and d20 form) since 1995, and I'm an avid Star Wars fan. If it's cool with you, I think I'll play a 3rd level ISB agent.

    What has gaming done for you?

    I think first and foremost, it's helped me not to go insane. LOL. :D In truth, it's improved my vocabulary immensely, especially with learning Basic and 1st edition Advanced D&D when I was around 10-12. I was WAY above my fellow students in vocabulary. Helped with math and analytical as well as...

    Attack rolls vs. Defense Rolls

    I used this system in my Star Wars games, and I proposed it at one point for my DnD game, but they didn't go for it. Basically, instead of using a base of 10 for AC, you make a d20 roll and that counts as your AC base for that attack, adding any armor, shield, dex, magic, etc bonuses to that...

    Tell me about elves in your world.

    In the campaign I'm currently designing, I have 4 elven subraces. Grey Elves: The elven nobility. These elves lead the elven people by birthwright. Tall, willowy and graceful, with light hair and fair skin. +2 Dex, -4 Con, +2 Cha. Favored class: sorcerer bonus proficiences: longsword...

    Advanced Masterwork Weapons system

    Oh, the Magic Weapon spell would still be subject to "stacking" rules... so Magic Weapon would only give it a +1 bonus, which would technically trump the masterwork bonus. I am going with magic being the stronger factor than the mundane in this. Greater Magic Weapon would cover higher bonuses...

    Advanced Masterwork Weapons system

    Like Mighty composite bows, but with dex rather than strength. So, if you have a +3 finesse weapon, someone can use up to +3 of their dex bonus to hit. Of course, you still need the Weapon Finesse feat to use it properly. Well, basically, this was meant to still keep humans down. heh. I don't...

    Social Standing

    One thing...these feats are a bit biased towards humans. Any other race would only be able to take Good Family at the most. Would it be possible to remove the Good Family prerequisite from Nobility and maybe give some other prerequisites for it... I'm not entirely certain what that would be, to...

    Advanced Masterwork Weapons system

    hmph, I've never heard of that book. This system is vaguely based on the Palladium games rules for Dwarven and Kobold weapons and armor. I really gotta get that armor system finished. I'm gonna work on that over the next couple of days.
