    Easy to learn full-blooded magic system

    You might also check out Codex Mysterium (http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/reviews/index.php?sub=yes&where=active&reviewer=d20+Magazine+Rack&product=CODM for a review). It is adaptable fairly easily. Elements of Magic, which you mentioned, basically takes it even a step further towards the Ars...

    Arena Gladiator Matches! - Dec19 thru Jan3

    Ok, so wednesday didn't seem to happen. Ark, let me know when you want to do it and I'll see if I can be around :)

    Military based D20 game

    No, it's a separate game system by the now out of business Game Designer's Workshop. There are several versions you can find at ebay sometimes, but DriveThru has a PDF of the classic original version. I miss my T2K games :(

    Why _DON'T_ You Buy Dragon Magazine?

    Nicely written, and thank you for taking time to address all the people who care enough about Dragon to have posted here. I know I'd love to see "that spark" come back that made me a fan of the magazine so many years ago. Oh, and also - some real world information encapsulated and wrapped...

    Of Fey and Shadow - A Midnight story hour (Restored 14 May 2006)

    Heh, I hear you. And thanks for following up. I've never played an Elf in D&D :) It's just that they are an integral part of Midnight, and I wanted to see what it'd look like with mythical vs D&D style Fey. I read a lot about elves as a kid reading Nordic folklore, so in hindsight it's no...

    Of Fey and Shadow - A Midnight story hour (Restored 14 May 2006)

    You prefer mythological roots... Stories vary the world over, but I've modeled the elf queen on the Alvor of Scandinavia, with the rest of the elves being something of a blend of a masculine versions of the Alvor and the Norse-specific interpretation of them (minus the status as minor deities...

    if you could run or play in ANY campaign RIGHT now...

    I'm in one of my two dream games, a Riddle of Midnight campaign I am DMing (Riddle of Steel system in the Midnight campaign setting). That's going on now. The other thing I would die to play is Fallout-style Post Apocalypse. A friend of mine is finally getting the Darwin's World II book...

    Of Fey and Shadow - A Midnight story hour (Restored 14 May 2006)

    I normally don't like Elves either, but in this game I've moved away from the standard gaming elf and I'm trying to make them feel like mythical fey - ancient, immortal, powerful, rare, and they don't think like us. Of course, since this is a writeup of a game in progress, it isn't going to...

    Of Fey and Shadow - A Midnight story hour (Restored 14 May 2006)

    Prolog Part II - The Snow Ghosts The scene below was horriffic. The smell of blood hit Thrayn's nose, but he did not allow it to distract him from the task at hand. The reserve Orcs, seeing the fight nearly over, broke from their cover to converge on the scene of the ambush - the better to make...

    Of Fey and Shadow - A Midnight story hour (Restored 14 May 2006)

    Hi Renfield :) Good to see you. There's a "quickstart" rules available as a free download at www.theriddleofsteel.net - it is very similar to the real book, but has fewer attributes and abstracted skills and combat maneuvers, as well as a simpler Magic system. But of course, I'm using Ars...

    My "How does Fantasy Ground Play On-line" Review

    I've been using OpenRPG for a long time now. At a quick glance I don't see features in this that aren't in OpenRPG, so can you tell me why I should consider switching? Feature lists are great but I just need to know what it does better or worse than OpenRPG. Also, would each player need to buy...

    Black Company: I CAN'T STOP READING...

    Sounds like my kind of fiction. After all this time, I can't believe I've never read the books :(

    Mutants & Masterminds: Which supplement?

    It is on the eastern seaboard, but otherwise not specific.

    Arena Gladiator Matches! - Dec19 thru Jan3

    My pesky human is alive and stinging from his defeat! I can be available most days (not Sundays though) - daytime is best for me. Also, not Xmas day/New Year's day or the nights before. Can't wait :)

    Mutants & Masterminds: Which supplement?

    Freedom City is an amazing product, if you are interested in a setting. The only other things I own are Power Corrupts I and II as PDF. II is better than I, but there's Power Corrupted now which is both together and revised. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
