I won't chime in with another statement of my views because barsoomcore pretty much slam-dunked every point I was going to make. However, as an interesting aside, here's the story of "Nat 20 Harry". Harry is a guy that I've occasionally played 2nd Ed D&D with and some friends in common who've...

I'd agree with you except that I'm not actually upset. I'm more puzzled by his response really. If you check out my opening post, I'm very obvious in that I was only being light-hearted about it all. Then if you read the replies, everyone is joking along or putting in comments regarding...

There isn't any intrinsic "list of required preparations" really. It basically comes down to this: How much do you need to adequately make your setting feel real for your players and provide both you and the players with enough support to allow everyone to collectively breath life in to your...

I agree, we're likely to get a lot of 'me too/I agree' (MT/IA) on this one. I would like to try be a bit distinctive and make my MT/IA post a qualified one: I think that any game is being played wrong if you have one or more people in a group intentionally playing against the intended...

Hmmm... This seems an unnecessarily volatile and personal attack. Have I wronged you at some point? I don't believe I even know you... I thought that I made it quite clear that I was only really intending to share something that struck me as amusing at the time solely due to the fact that two...

In my last campaign, I had a reduced set of available races, with the majority of the intelligent people being Human. The ancient, all-but-nearly-forgotten, past once was very Forgotten-Realms-like in it's racial variety. However, there had been a terrible war that involved ALL races on one...

Sorry, couldn't resist... The first two topics at the top of the page were the following: Do We Need Gnomes, Halflings AND Dwarves? Do we really need Monks? So I immediately thought of the ultimate "Do we really need.." thread. Ok, so it made *ME* chuckle... ;-) Although, now that I think...

I can't quite tell if the original poster and a few of the others who replied are for or against human subraces? I suppose that if we're going to have hundreds of subraces of everything else, then I guess we may as well have them for humans too... Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the style of...

I've been following this thread since it first started and ML3's work is superb! I too will chime in with the "better than the MM" compliment. However, I do wish that others who are artistically inclined (even if they're "not as good as" ML3) would step up to the plate. Not because I don't...

Ok, based on, 1) the low price of BnS1: Starship..., 2) Vigilances comments, and 3) HeapThaumaturgist observations regarding the philosophical disparity in basic approach to just what starship design "is" between D20 Future and BnS1; I've decided to just buy the first one now. If it does what I...

Hey Vigilance, I have a question for you. <preamble> I've been searching the net for a good sci-fi D20 starship construction system - one with flexibility, but not spreadsheets-worth of calculations & data to track for every system and component either. I own the D20 Future book (I will NOT go...

I remember that!!! Geez!! You're going back-a-ways with THAT reference! :) I don't remember how much it was like or unlike D20 currently is, however I do remember my overall impressions of DragonRPG. It felt like the goal had been to overhaul 2nd Ed and mke it more streamlined, and work some...

Turanil and I realise that we can't be EVERYTHING to EVERYONE. This is why we are restricting our projects to a single concept each. They are deliberately structured so that each contribution doesn't have to be a major time investment for a potential contributor. We also want as many people...

Yay!! Sign me up! :D I vote for the "submit whatever you want and it gets sorted into categories afterwards" option. While I will personally prefer to use the low to medium level NPCs, I can see that the more powerful and influencial NPCs would be useful to many people. I think that people...

99. Orange Wooden House: This building isn't officially any sort of business, however it does have a steady stream of clients. The building itself is a simple wooden house that has been painted a bright orange colour with a matching orange open cart by the side of the house. Heiramn Gattelby...

Just to show that I too can write to an "expanded format" standard if warrented... :p 95. The Washerwoman's Guild: Description: This unlikely orgaqnization has it's headquarters in a large one-story stone building with lye vats in the back. The vats are where things such as sheets, linins...

93. A House of Musicians: This building is shabbily painted in a variety of mismatched colours and is in need of minor repairs. The front door is usually open and fragment of music can be heard from within. The house consists of a simple kitchen and many bedrooms. Some of the bedrooms were...

92. The Fabulous Bolistche Gardens: This small cottage is surrounded by a large garden that has all manner of flowering plants and trees in it. There are even greenhouses for special plants that need special protection or temperatures. The owner of the establishment is Jenna Bolistche, a...

90. The Merikulia Imports Trading House: This low-lying terra cotta building is surrounded by well-shaded areas and an ochre brown wall. The inside of the building is a series of rooms, each of which has the walls covered in tile mosaics and the majority of the floorspace taken up with sculpted...

Umm... I think that your quickie math may have been a little too quick. While a straight up comparative division of the page count into the retail price will yield those two figures, I don't think that it really means anything. First off your formula (retail price / page count) doesn't take...
