The Stronghold builder's Guide had Trebuchet stats but they were so awful I made my own. If you look at the falling objects rules a trebuchet should be doing 15d6 damage, not one die more than a heavy catapult because the shot is much, much heavier.

The system that made my players happiest was a 40 point point buy (gasp). I use the DMG system and the points are based on the oWoD 7/5/3 split which 40 points is mathematically equivalent to. Then I allow them after they have set their stats to roll 3d6 straight down the line taking the die...

I think if you do it the second way, then you can still use the table. You just make the encounter, set the DCs for the specific case and then use the table to find out what the CR of the challenge was and use that to determine how many XPs they get for the encounter.

I called the game because we had a foot of snow fall in a few hours and I have little to no experience driving on the snow. Apparently everyone else did.

Cool. Its a nice, simple system. I like it.

You know, I don't have to be introspective. I am currently running a very successful Thursday night game that the players in that game rave about and I have a very large number of successful games under my belt since I began running back in 19*cough*cough*. I know I am a good Storyteller and...

I would probably have more of a problem if it was the whole party, but it was two out of four people who decided this (the other two have played with me extensively and enjoy my play style). And they just brushed it off as me just being stressed over my demanding schedule (I am an adjunct...

No, they did that too.

Because I just can't do it. As soon as one of the players does something interesting I want to follow the consequences of it and it bothers me not to do so.

No, I've had someone run a sequel to my Dallas by Night game after I had graduated college and left town permanently. I came back to visit about two years later and heard all the stories, that was somewhat flattering (because I was not aware of it). Yeah, my Thursday night Scion group is a...

The closest I came was taking the Star Wars Saga talents and readapting back to Modern d20 (along with a few class features from D&D). I have that an a classless spellcasting system hidden somewhere.

The person who took over is into "system mastery" and his characters are always builds. He plans his build at 1st level and it doesn't matter what happens in the game to his character he always sticks to his builds (for me builds are good for making a new character because it speeds up...

So, I had had some problems with my players over play styles (they are more gamist and I'm more narrativist). We abandoned a story rich game for an established game universe and I lost control of which house rules to use. To top it off, I decided to cancel the game today because of bad...

The term is Sci-Fi, "Syfy" is a registered trademark of NBC Universal Corp. for the cable station with that name.

Forget the arrows, an elf weighs over 100 lbs. He or she will do far more damage. BEST USE OF AN ELF EVER.

I thought being a teacher was a such a huge status killer, it would trump even WoW or D&D.

The last conversation my Dad and I had he told me it was childish and that I wasted too much money on it. I then pointed to his cigarette and then did the math to show how much less I spent on gaming than he did on killing his lungs (and eventually his heart). His reply was, "that's different"...

Has anyone gone through the feats in Monte Cook's Book of Experimental Might II and seen how they would fit in Pathfinder?

Yeah, because you know that character classes are the state of the art in roleplaying games. How ever would anyone play an RPG without character classes? Xp

After getting ahold of the 4th Edition Traveller: Interstellar Wars my first thought was to use the Earth of Transhuman Space rather than the Terra of Traveller with maybe a dash of 2300 AD and Bughunters. Of course, it started a whole bunch of math, since I don't trust game developers to have...
