Sticking with official TSR and WotC products: Nonwestern: Oriental Adventures (1st Edition and 3rd Edition versions), Maztica (2nd Edition), Complete Ninja's Handbook (2nd Edition), Old Empires (2nd Edition), Al Qadim (2nd Edition), Empire of the Petal Throne (OD&D related: Tékumel :: The...

Its not always just literature. I was basically chided by two different 50-something gamers for liking Dark Sun (actually one them called it a steaming pile and the other one was not that far behind him, though they have never met). For them D&D itself was innovative. You got to play a single...

Just don't let them use two cans of Playdoh, we did that once and it really unbalanced the game.

I really enjoy the gods of Empire of the Petal Throne (Tékumel :: The World of the Petal Throne) especially Ksarul and Thumis since they are the gods of knowledge and give actually teeth to academic infighting (but that might be due to my leaving a PhD program).

Uh, no. I've had players completely fail diceless challenges in a WoD game by doing something stupid, by just not planning out carefully what they wanted to do, or by underestimating the size of the threat that they were facing. Its easy to do.

The ones I have are: The 13th Precinct. Actually gives you advice on the police in WoD, something missing from most games. Dogs of War. Guide to playing military campaigns. Gives trigger rules for preventing morality loss Second Sight. Rules for psychics and hedge magicians. Useful for...

I bought a copy of the GR Thieves' World Player's Manual for $9.85 and reordered a green and red chess set for the third time (this time the supplier says its in stock).

Got my swag. Before you get upset at your FLGS just note that these kits are not free for them, it costs them $65 to buy a "free" RPG day kit.

The original system punished you with dice by making "1s" take away successes. The new system does not. All rolls are a straight 8 or better on a die is a success and a 10 allows a reroll of the dice. The only way to critically fail is to roll a "1" on the luck die and you basically have to...

You cannot reproduce art. Its a violation of PI and you need permission from Paizo to do so. I would highly recommend you taking out the art to avoid trouble.

About time I really started reading my WtF: Probably mental attributes should be primary for investigation unless you want to be a social type. I would probably put physical last and put most of your points in Dexterity for firearms use. Same with skills. Tribe: Probably Bone Shadow or Iron...

Oh, you mean like Dungeons & Dragons. :)

Yeah, I had thought of that just before I read the post.

Isn't it a bit premature to be making a PFRPG SRD from the Beta knowing it will be made invalid at GenCon with the release of the actual thing?

Sorry about the double post, but if you want Demi-human races here is an article, I don't think the author went far enough, but eh... Demihuman races in basic D&D and there is more here: Rules

Don't forget Weapon Mastery, Combat Maneuvers, and additional damage if your Attack Roll was negative meant fighters ruled in RC.

Just remember your conjunctions. "Or" means its one or the other and "and" means it must be both. I am also a fan of putting "non-" in front such as DR 5/nonballistic, which I use for some armors. And I don't think ballistic has been mentioned, but that's modern.

I so want to see this.

Wow, its been that long. I was working at the University of Arkansas Libraries and hadn't even gone to graduate school yet, when I found Eric Noah's Third Edition News. And being new to the internet culture I still didn't understand everyone's dislike of TSR and got into a flamewar about the...

I second that. I tended to forget to read the news and just headed straight for the forums. But I'll read it if its the first thing I see when I get to the homepage.
