I think that's the same thing, really. Only the names change. But again, this reinforces that such a system is workable in practice, whether you call your flavors of religion "Saints" or "Methods of Worship". Crude translation they may all be, but they work well and add much flavor.

I and a dozen other people spent a year working on our homebrew, including a large pantheon of deities, creation myth, planar structure, prestige classes, organizations, races, realms and a few thousand years of rough history. It was more fun than work.

I believe a selection of "saints" for players to associate with might be a good way to add domains. If I were doing this, I would have a core list that all priests have access to, and then saints would add both domains and specific spells that didn't make the main list.

I think it does some things really, really well. And others well enough. As a one-mechanic system for all styles, I like it as much as any other. However, I love games like The Riddle of Steel as well - it has an entirely different flavor. A flavor that is better suited to a small range of...

I'm glad there are people reading this and enjoying it. It's been a lot of fun DMing this group, and despite a few more typos than usual in my last post I think it's generally going really well :) Good luck when you get to DM Midnight! I'm sure you are familiar with the midnight forums, but...

The glen was preternaturally silent, except for the quiet burbling of the stream that led away from the pool in the center of the clearing. Carith, catching his breath, leaned down and cleansed the orc ochre from his blade on the Orc's own tunic, rubbing it clean with practiced ease. Carith...

Most of them actually do this, OpenRPG included. The free OpenRPG and WebRPG have outdated looks to them, though. So if what you care about is how it looks, go with a pay product like FG or ScreenMonkey. There's little difference in terms of functionality between the various software out...

Definitely. The Dungeon Crawl Classics are great modules, and I heartily recommend them. I also recommend the Rappan Athuk series.

I've been using WebRPG and OpenRPG for years. OpenRPG is free and (in my opinion) the better of the two. And free. Did I mention, free? Also, free. If you simply MUST pay for it before you think it useful, despite Open and Web's years of experience and improvements, check out ScreenMonkey...

Most women I've been with didn't use lines to show interest; they used body language.

The Orc reached down and, with one deft and callous motion, sliced the ear from the twitching Oruk at his feet and calmly put it in his beltpouch, then looked apprehensively about. The Third Tusk is dying, and he is the only one who has ever heard the Legate Whisper. Perhaps the magic is in his...

Thrayn's eyes narrowed as he heard the sounds of the oncoming orc raiding party. Shadows flickered between the brush and boles of the trees as they approached. Almost without warning, three of the beasts stepped into view sneaking in an odd echelon order. Two were close together and nearest to...

As the three travellers reached the verge of the Glen, Thrayn motioned for them to halt. They had approached from the east and Thrayn had led them around, past the southern edge, to cover the most likely approach of the Orcs. "This is the direction they should be coming from. Find two sturdy...

Thanks, Eremite. I am glad you enjoy reading it! I will continue to keep it updated regularly as the game progresses :)

I can do 2pm Pacific, but I have to leave by 5pm Pacific

hrm not tonight. Sunday around noon or Monday from noon onwards (all Pacific)would work for me.

Why only pen and paper? Why not online? I imagine the problems and opportunities are about the same whether in person or online. There's a lot of such projects online that you can use to learn from.

You can get a lot of great info on midnight at the fan site (www.againsttheshadow.org). I have a Midnight story hour called Of Fey and Shadow here in the Story Hour forums,and it is copied over at the fan site as well. It is not precisely Tolkein, but that is a heavy inspiration. It is dark...

I'm not sure quite what you mean, but you could take more, diverse powers at a lower rank. So instead of a 4pp/rank power at +10, have two of them at +5. For example.
