Done! Put that aside for my and i'll send you a check!

hey, thanks! Dawnforge sounds like another CS that wants to attack my pocketbook.

I suppose i know what it is, high fantasy in an age where heroes haven't tromped around yet. It's from Fantasy Flight (probably my favorite company) and it's from Greg Benage, a creator of Midnight. But i've never seen it or heard reviews about it. Can anyone elaborate? I'm a huge fan of the...

By blending i mean casting Creating a Firey Man Golem and sending it flying against the enemy, swinging hot fists. All of the examples in the spell section are limited to a single Tech and Form, although you do need prerequiste Forms to cast certain spells. Maybe blending was a poor word choice...

I just got Conan Free companies and it looks to be a great way to fill in the background detail of mass combat. For actual mechanics, i would use Grim Tales and the excel spreadsheets. I for one am very excited about GoT. Not sure what the actual rules will come out like, but you're right, as...

There's supposed to be a real good Cthulhu Encyclopedia for the mythos out now. You can check on some reviews on amazon probably.

My suggestion would be to take time and really comb over the book. The Flaws and Virtues are great for filling in backgrounds, and can be used easily in d20. There is a detailed system for character personalities and traits, and even the GMing section has some good tips on how to run a game...

Yeah, great fight, wasn't it! I haven't actually used the Conan rules yet, but they seemed offhand that they would work. More detailed than 2 fighers standing side by side and hammering away at each other. I'm not familar with Weapons of the Gods, but if you want to fill in some details feel...

The actual mechanics of Wizard's Twilight in Ars is somewhat convoluted, but the theory is sound. When you critically fail a spell (botched) you have a chance to acquire twilight. This can be a boon or a bane to your character, giving you insight, or stealing some permanent sanity. Regardless...

Nifelhein, How much of the spell system should we think about incorporating? Ars Magica might be too complicated for its own good in some aspects. For instance, spending XP to learn and write books by the season is very involved. This goes above and beyond the simple allottment of skill...

Hah! Yes, we could probably look up Tolkein's dictionary and find the exact conversion. The only problem is that i've been studying the Ars 4th so much that i pretty much have the RegoImaginem's memorized at a glance. Changing it to elvish would throw me off for a while. :) EDIT: Then again...

I see what you mean. If you want Arsd20 Midnight, persay, you want it for channelers AND legates for unity. This is certainly possible, but as you aware will take a considerable more amount of legwork for the DM. Having the legates pray for Divine Vis is a great idea though, and the legates...

I HAVE stopped by AtS in the past and downloaded every single thing i could find, including copying and pasting story hooks into a word document for future reference. Great stuff. As for the legates, i would actually leave well enough alone and let them cast cleric spells as per the PHB, but...

I foresee a paradigm shift in the gaming industry by 2008. All :cool: people in highschool will be avidly rping wizards, rogues and warriors, while jocks and hot chicks will be societal outcasts, existing on the few coppers of pity shed by their former peers. It will be UNCOOL not to play DnD!

Woohoo! Another Midnight fan. I'm stoked about the 2nd edition, my first book practically disinegrated. Anyway, i think Ars and Midnight are a match made in heaven. The item creation rules, Labs, vis, Power nexuses, channeling, druidism, and everything seems like it would mesh well. And Ars...

I wonder what the ratio of new players disliking Vancian to old players disliking Vancian is? There is no arguing that DnD magic is flashy, colorful, and deeply creative. It is simple to learn, remember and execute. And correct, there's nothing wrong with that. As an older player i just get...

You are exactly right. The difference between Arsd20 and DnD 3.5, using the DC's as presented in the Ars book, is that Arsd20 casters have more versatility and power at lower level, at the expense of possible failure. I think it's a nice balance, but not one that every player would be willing to...

That :):):):):) is a Sign O the End Times. Sick thing is that someone will really love it.

I'm reading Storm of Swords right now by George RR Martin and last night i got to a crucial fight scene. Without giving away details, there were 2 combatants: one a monstrous high level human fighter with full plate, gauntets, greaves, gorget, broadsword and shield, and TEN FOOT REACH. I'd say...

I picked up BC too. The spell system IS interesting, but i don't know if i would implement it or not. Right now actually, the glut of alternate systems and with me tinkering with my own homebrew systems is more than enough to occupy me. For ease of gameplay though and minimum fuss, i still...
