My understanding is that it is new rules. It'll be sized like a splat book. It will contain a lot of useful information for a PA game, and other than one or two things, the content will be entirely complementary to games such as Darwin's World II (D20 Modern-based), rather than competitive.

Unfortunately for the game (but fortunately for me) the move is going to happen next weekend. Seems the timeline got moved up. I'll be fixing up my current house on weekends after that. So, for at least the next few weeks, the game will be on hold :( If someone else wants to take the DM reins...

The demo is great! That looks amazing!

Price per page is meaningless. Comparing Mutants & Masterminds to most hardcovers would make MnM look really bad, and yet I get more use out of that book than almost any other book I know. PDF price per page is even more meaningless - I buy what's interesting to me, and at $5 or whatever, who...

Carith flung himself to his feet, drawing Raseri Styrke as he did so. Landing on his feet blade in hand he half speaks half whispers to the men at the camp, "To arms, there are men sneaking towards this camp at least two but there may be more." Rongald and Dornhild, who had not yet removed...

I play several different systems. Maybe the ones you are talking about, Salad Shooter, are just more vocal - not necessarily more numerous :) I hope. Also, there's probably lots of people who don't have the time to learn multiple systems, or their group can only agree on one or two systems...

Given that this is a D20-focused forum I can't imagine many folks here hate level systems, nor do I :) But levels, in the D20 style, don't do everything perfectly. Different tools for different jobs. From what I can tell, the people who hate level-based game systems mostly dislike the...

Thanks :) It will be a boy, and we're naming him Aidan. My wife's idea. I'm just happy it isn't something unpronounceable! Despite intermittent scary trips to the ER, the baby has so far beat the odds and not been born. She just hit the last trimester, and even if she delivered tonight the...

For my games my usual method is to give each PC XP=(hours of play*level)*X where x is 25 or 50 depending on how easy the session was. Bonuses for really good sessions, penalties for being late, no XP if you miss the session. So, if a 5th level party had a tough session that lasted 3 hours...

Magic items in Midnight are very rare, so it would be a good fit in that regard. And I think it has a tinge of "grim" to it, so it'd fit the grim+gritty "Midnight" flavor well. Overdone, plug it into Eberron in a non-Gritty fashion. It could be a good fit there, too. (Immortality, anyone?)

I may well borrow this for my Midnight setting campaign (using The Riddle of Steel rules). It's very, very flav-o-riffic.

I'm on daily during the week :) Are you not getting through to me? I haven't gotten an ICQ from you. It could be the client I'm using recently (Trillian). Let me know!

I apologize for missing tonight's session. Some stuff has come up with my father. I'll certainly be missing next weekend also - if someone wants to run a session, I won't mind. I'll be missing a further two weeks at the end of the month and/or early next month, as I have to move unexpectedly...

It is easy to set it up to print a color map in grayscale, so I much, much prefer color maps.

Yes please

GREAT freakin' resource ;)

I've been in several Midnight campaigns, currently about to join another, and I'm running one using Riddle of steel, which is way more deadly than D&D for PCs - and in it, they've killed lots of bad guys. In Midnight, the point is not that the PCs can't kill the bad guys. That's misleading. I...

I just thought BT was a fun game with a setting that offered lots of opportunities for conflict. The part about battlemechs blew any belief it was hard sci or even "firm" sci :) I never really pondered the sci much farther than that.

A BattleTech/MechWarrior conversion to D20F shouldn't be difficult. The Mechs would not be exactly the same, but that's to be expected, and the D20F rules would handle the range of tech pretty well I think. As to the setting, it's mostly flavor - the devices and weapons in the MW universe were...

Thrayn, Carith, Dornhild and Rongald completed finally the task of disposing of the invaders' bodies, being sure to retrieve their tusks - two Oruk and ten Orc - as well as some 10 salvageable javelins and all six of their Vardaches. Being late, they encamped for the night not only because...
