Thanks. Not having access to every D20 book means I may miss a few good ideas here and there. I'll see if I can hunt that down.

I would have thought the default setting for D20 Future would have been Alterity's Star*Drive setting. There's enough of the Alternity rules in the D20 book to make it an easy port.

Specialized skills will not allow a character to qualify for a prestige class. I'll add that to the description above.

I wanted to put this into the Skills section to use the more available skill points rather than the rarer feats. I can easly see doing this with feats (and adding about 900 of them). But my players dislike using their feat for skill focus activities, thinking them relatively useless. They would...

I'm looking for some feedback on this idea. Good? Bad? Too munchkin like? not useful? Skill specialization is an optional addition to the skills. When a character specializes in a skill, they are focusing on a subset of what the skill provides, gaining a deeper knowledge of the area of...

Now that sounds familiar.

Opps. My bad. It helps to have the right numbers in the tables to begin with, and then to format and label them properly In the code section there are two tables, each with two columns. Table 1 is the first two columns, table 2 is the second two columns. I'm fixing the table as soon as I post...

Wealth Bonus Addition: The D20 Modern Wealth bonus is an inspired idea. But it does have one flaw. When the characters need to buy a group of things, or build something. There is no obvious way to add wealth scored together. The usual suggestion is to convert each wealth bonus into it's...

Ahhh, enlignetment strikes. And an idea for another poll...

This attitude confuses me. I may be reading this wrong. Are you saying you won't play in a game unless you can play your idea of a characterr, even if it is totally inapproprate for the campaign?

Mostly to see what would be popular. Our Changeling Storyteller is going to be restaring her campaign by the end of August (crossed fingers). Like I said above, I ran The Broken Circle for a long time (I just found my two large notebooks with the campaign notes), and recently was running The...

If I was actually going to run this campaign, I'd pick a selection of books at the campaign start and then never let any other in. The rule would probably be each player can pick one book which allows them to build their character in addition to the core rule books. With the understanding there...

Thank you for the kind words. The Broken Circle was a campaign I ran for about 4-5 years using (modified) AD&D 2nd edition rules. And I ran the Last Emperor as an "in between" campaign for about 9 months last year. The players had a good time, which is the whole point.

You mean this Ravenstar?

Well, the source material involves gay relationships, and something I wouldn't just drop. Would you like it better if it were rated PG or X? Both the Broken Circle and Swordspoint are an experiment in rules lite D20. Can you have a good game which doesn't require every rule in all the books?

The Wurst of Grimtooth's Traps

You can ask me about any of the construction systems on this list. I generally like more detailed, realistic system (cf. GURPS Vehicles), but this is not shared by everyone. I strongly like the T20 design system which allows for building just about anything with a whole lot less math than...

A selection of campaigns which I have or would like to run. Please pick one or more you would like to be a player in. If you don't like any of them, please write up a brief descripion of the campaign you would like to play in. La Mort des Mercennaires: A mercenary company in Traveller's Far...

From the Class Construction Guide. Hit Dice d8 (40), 4 skill points per level (20), 8 class skills (4), Moderate BAB (45), two good saves (30), shield proficient (2), all simple weapons and 9 others (14.5), Ignore sheild failure (2), Mounted Style (6), Ride and cast (4), four bonus feats (8)...

Sure, the Guide assigns points based upon the effectiveness of an abiliity which is usually based upon the pluses it gives. +2 is two points, up to +4 is four points, up to +10 is eight points. Or more generally, a +1 is worth one point. The only exception to this is the BAB, but BAB is a...
