I have experience with this. ToB does not allow you to hack through an adamantine wall with one blow. Even if you ignore hardness, your half damage vs objects will slow you down greatly. A warblade can not regain his maneuvers fast enough outside of combat to make rapid progress. My swordsage...

I've been wanting to do an update to d20 modern for a long, long time. At least 5 years. But life after college sucked up all my free time between my jobs, layoff, job hunting, moving across 3 states and girlfriend. I however would be keeping the ability classes. The ability classes allow much...

You will be sorely disappointed. SC2 does not have network play, Only battle.net. And the last I heard, multiple battle.net sessions on one IP Address will crash the sessions, preventing multiple players from the same location. This is one of the big reasons I will not buy SC2, not until it is...

D20 modern I loved d20 modern when it came out and I still do. I also liked shadowrun back in the day, but I can play the shadowrun setting using d20 modern if I want to.

skipping page 2-4... 4th edition will likely be easier on new players because there are fewer corner cases and exceptions. I personally prefer 3.5 (more accurately I prefer a version of d20 modern) because I find that 4th edition offers so much less freedom. Both are fine systems, but they do...

Quick update... The new theme is "Blue3d", you might note that with Blue3d the "Valid CSS" link at the bottom of every page does not display. This is because there is an inconsistant implementation of border-radius that is used for fancy round edges. The site now has a custom favicon on a...

The previous DiceBoxDB I had running from 2003 to 2008 had no authentication for comments and in 2007 it became a drop box for spam and other "bad things". If you are using the web site, you can log in and leave a comment with the roll. If you are using the web service, once you have signed...

Click through EULA's are mostly untested. There have been a few cases, but they can go either way depending on the specific terms used. BTW: I am not a lawyer, but as a software developer, artist and writer; copyright law interests me a lot. I would consider myself casually informed, but not an...

That means that they own it in every way, forever, just as much as you do. It means they can sell it as long as they want, and they don't have to pay you a dime. It means they can take your stuff and run with it, modify it, file off the serial number and sell it without giving you any credit or...

I am not sure if this is the best place for this after the forum reorganization... let me know if it belongs elsewhere. Nadaka's DiceBox (an online dice rolling tool) is back online after a ridiculously prolonged absence. There is still some work for me to do, but it is sufficiently ready for...

I can't say that I have as its not something I visit, but I have noticed in incredible amount of internet oddness for the last few days. For instance Yahoo.com homepage and their email browser pages are showing up as containing malware to me.

Its the equivelant of a +3.325 bonus from a purely mathematical POV. What you do is assume a base line of rolling 1d20. For each of the possible results of that first d20 and each of the possible results of the second d20: record the difference if the second d20 is higher. Then divide the sum...

yes. yes. One was called Pair-O-Dice, playable with 2d10. Did it it 1995 to 1999 IIRC. Was originally used for a Wing Commander / Privateer look alike sci fi game setting. Its fatal flaw was that it required a pocket calculator (most rolls involved multiplying the sum of abilities/bonuses by a...

So... Is this game using WotC IP, logo's, designated creatures, copywritten ability text? If so, is it licensed in any way? I am not going to join facebook just to find out. But I smell a DMCA notice in the wind.

I'll see what I can do. A lot of the info was lost when our furums were deleted off of gleemax. Spectaculars... http://www.amazon.com/d20-Spectaculars-Modern-Supplement/dp/0786941456 http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showbook&bookid=4919...

Exactly. And that is why most of this thread is so much hot air. There are legitimate grievances with how WotC handled D20 modern and its community in the lead up to 4e/GSL/Gleemax and afterwards. We WERE lied to.

WotC staff did not IMO lie or break promises about the content of 4e. However, I do believe it is the case that they did do so in relation to the systematic destruction of the D20 modern line and all support for that system.

I do not believe that WotC promised much. But I do believe that we were outright lied to in some cases. D20 Spectaculars was in their release schedule, it was available on Amazon for pre-order. I would call that a promise. We were told that the book was finished and that it was going to the...

Basically it. I thumbed through 2 copies of the 4e FRCS at the book store. Neither one had the Swordmage in it, it was mentioned in one sidebar in the threats chapter, but that was it. Is it in the book? if so, what page? I am not a 4e user, but I like to stay informed.

1: The easiest solution to the multiclass caster issue is to base "caster level" on character level without affecting the level of spells being granted. This would make the multiclasser effective against SR and allow the spells themselves to scale up as they normally do without giving too much...
