I can't beleave i didi not mention this earleir- Baderunner. Now that is a cyberpunk setting, with space ships and aliens, granted the aliens are man made but the tone and methode certainly plop that tale in the realm of cyberpunk.

Plot is a fictional device , I like to play games. As DM I'm much happier building a setting where the players get to romp about in and contribute to, over being railroaded along a predefined plot. I wasn't complaining I was pointing out it was built into the rules in earlier editions in a...

Like Isaid D&D has changed. Like it or not the game was written for a different set of assumptions then and now. I myself don't think it is so radical that the game isn't D&D anymore, I think it is truer that the core game now is but a subset of what the core game was years ago.

No it really wasn't. Just look at an old wilderness encounter tables in different editions. Clearly the wilderness wasn't keyed to be the same challenge it was for a low level party as it was for a high level party. Sure there are good reason for it now but there was no chart for an EL6 forest...

Net running as it is often shown in cyberpunk gaming ans some fiction is a little sillly. The whole concpet of virtual net-scapes making information porcessing anf gathering more efficient is a little flawed, still fun in and of itself but flawed. I can do image and tech research now that used...

Depends on what "space" folks are goign out into. The movie Outland has all the trappings of a cyberpunk story (excpet for cybernetics, which they all don't have anyway). The situation is entirely bounded by the technology on hand and how it sustains and limits the characters and the moral and...

I'm not talking In My Campaign or in your campaign I'm talking about the game as it is right out of the rule books. I'm also not talking about the comparative power of classes between games. I'm talking about the style of play written into the rules. Every character type artracted followers, or...

Not what i said at all.

D&D has changed. Once adventurers were talented and daring folks who would become heroes and then lords of fantastic realms (or peers of such folk) now adventurers are born heroes and continue on a hamster wheel of heroic action.

another point folks always seem to miss when discussing sci-fi : it uses society and science known now to discuss how the people and problems of now may deal with things. We are already a generation (at least) after the recognizable early cyperpunk ficitional works were first published. The...

I think wotc could do fine with brief adventure lines. They just shouldn't bother to keep them in print. After the print run sells out (or before) they can be made avaiable via pdf. There could even be pdf specials that could add portions even whole side adventures to an adventure to...

It doesn't have to actually be "psionics" to play like psionics. If the net gets so pervasive everything is connected in some manner or another (by everythign i mean everything like cartons of milk, ammunition and emergency brakes ) . It might be possible to do all sorts of tricks that look...

I spend a whole lot of time on campaign work. i don't sweat individual adventures too much. 10 hours of planning can go into 1 hour of play or one hour of work i did 2 years ago could turn out to keep folks busy for 2 or 3 sessions.

Make the maze busy. don't just have the characters navigating it. Throw in some monsters. Or other adventurers. Trying to get to the middle of the maze before someone else does is a heck of a lot more compeling then doing it alone and the "left handed path" might not do the reick for them...

The Everquest OGL-D20 rpg uses (or used haven't seen EQ2 yet) a Weapon Delay factor that offsets itterative attacks from weapon to weapon. It is a sort of workable version of weapon speed. Ultimately good fighters get less attacks per round with big slow weapons then they do with small...

Well it sure hurt and the bruise wasn't going down that is why i went to the dr, imagine how surpised i was. It still hurts when i think about it.

really? when did the 3.5 "arms and equipment guide" come out?

melee is pronounced MAY-lay, may-LAY or meh-lay not me-lee That isn't really a terminology peeve though it is a pronunciation peeve. A terminology peeve would be somethign like the use of the word "Cleave" as it is currentyl defined in 3.x a cleave is the delivery of a deep wound...

Still using 3.0 myself. I've had no difficulty that i've noticed incorporating newer books into my campaign.
