I played 1e briefly and just made the transition to 2e. I didn't mind so much about losing certain classes as i always dm'd anyway, and had never played a monk before. 2e had more source material available to me, and i spent many a year devouring the books, never completely aware of the miasma...

Ok, if anyone can answer i'm just curious. Historically, why DID heavy armor become obsolete? It seems to me a sheet of metal would help shield damage from a bullet, or at least reduce the damage. Was it prohibitively expensive, or cumbersome, or antiquated in usefulness or prestige, or did...

Grim Tales Monster's Handbook Midnight CS Monsternomicon Monster Manual 3

Getting people on the same schedule is one of the problems of gaming. I, like the original poster, am a morning person, early to bed (9pm) early to rise (5:30-6am). I have been on the same schedule for years and ANY deviation from this works hell on my body. I played a one-shot DnD game with a...

QUESTION for OLD ONE Oh Mighty Old Evil One... I was looking over the Black Company magic .pdf you posted. Can you explain how it works a little more (not that i can play in that advenuture :( ) I have it ordered but it hasn't arrived yet. Is it easier on the PC's than the Spell Burn in Grim...

Last year from Amazon i bought the Necronomicon by Simon (Avon Publishing). Not that i thought it was real (the author claimed to have translated it from a world-worn tome he found in bookstore) but i thought MAYBE it would be a good CoC prop. It wasn't. I sent it back the next day. But do a...

I think it might be the prettiest set yet. Curse them for making collectible minis.

I run a Midnight campaign too (best setting ever) and death and dying are an integral core of the game. Even worse, your dead character has a good chance as rising as the undead to slay his previous friends. As to your orginal problem and post...well, if it is REALLY a problem with that...

Stun to me conjures DnD stun, which can be more or less a death sentence. A while back one guy in my group came up with a modular d20 character creation system based on Mutants and Masterminds. You could create any character by point expenditure, including "buying" the Toughness feat to up...

Alrighty! Signed up "M is for Murder." Look forward to it. See you guys there.

I agree about the spells, DnD does have too many that are merely powered up versions of lower level spells, or an energy subtype exchange. On the plus side DnD has cool "flavor" for spells and cinematic effects i might never have thought of. I think a little GameDay HARP might just be the cure...

I checked out HARP Lite and really liked it, even ordered the core book from Amazon. My question is about Magic: I like the skill-based system, but the actual spells seems limited. Are the spells kept low in number to encourage more scaling, or are there supplements to expand on the base set? I...

So, so very very bad, i must actually share this.

oops. Sorry. Here's the PG version.

Doug McCrae, this ones for you! [edit: Sorry, Narfellus, but even if the profanity filter can't look at pictures, Eric's grandma can.]

Who's Vicki Lynn?

Well, i did add the caveat that that was how i ran MY games, and not that everyone should do it my way. I ran FR for years and got tired of the magic overhaul. Midnight is my system of choice now with it's delicately sprinkled magic items, no gold, barter system, outlawed wizards, and the best...

Dang it! Game slot filled up. Oh well, maybe i'll just lurk around and KO someone when they're not not looking. :p
