I used to play WFB ages ago, so I do have some terrain, but none of it modern. Not only does GW and DF put some out, I found a lot more on WarWeb. Which would be great, for a Deadlands game! Almost none of it is modern-ish. Armorcast does some resin stuff that might not be too sci-fi for modern...

I don't completely agree. Especially for skills with static (non-opposed) DCs. Once you hit double digits in levels, almost any maxed out skill for non-opposed DCs is essentially done. Once you can beat a 25 or 30 while taking 10, there is little point to keeping that skill maxed out. Which...

I'm with Psion on this one. The trend to "streamline" skills seems more like "devolution" to me. In fact, I wish they had gone the other way with 3.5, in that in addition to a synergy bonus at 5 ranks in some skills, they should have had additional things you could do at certain skill rank...

Awesome rgard, thanks! I had emailed the guys in our group the copplestone minis and we were about to pitch in and get a bunch from those guys, but I'm glad we waited, because several of these new ones you linked from em4 might be more what they were looking for to represent their PCs. As a...

Oh cool, thanks! I have been more able to find old west/US civil war minis for a Deadlands game than I could find modern minis for any kind of modern setting, but this is along the lines of what I was wondering might be out there.

I have all the Heroscape figs, except this latest release (wave 7, why do you mock me so??). You'd figure that more companies would be making modern minis.

Thanks for the replies guys. I definately think the new FD modern couter pack is better than the print one I already had (CCIII). But what about minis? Old Glory has some modern minis, but not all of them have pics, and I'm loathe to buy any sight unseen. MegaMinis has a modern line, but...

I haven't read the entire thread, so please forgive me if these points are addressed elsewhere. ALL of these were like this in 1st ed, so it's not something wrong with *just* 2nd ed. Five kinds, and they were the same as 1st ed again. They are the same 5 categories, but each class is better...

Double post, a thousand pardons.

Alter Self: Is it a flying spell? No, it is a shapechanging spell. Can you grow wings with Alter Self? Yes. Can you fly with those wings? Yes (assuming there are winged elves or some other flying humanoid race in your game). All of which is moot, when the feat quite clearly states that it adds...

Does anyone here have a few good suggestions for modern maps/floorplans, minis and/or counters? I'm running a Zombie/PA game and using some Heroscape figs right now. I have Fiery Dragons Counter Collection III (not the updated Supers and Modern), and I have seen MegaMinis 25mm modern line, but I...

I think it's odd that people bemoan spell resistance in one breath, then complain high level fighters aren't tough enough in the next. IMO, those two are directly correlated. SR was not only a tool to "beef up" monsters, but to ensure the high and mighty wizard couldn't leave his fighter buddy...

They were a 5 book series that were written for 3.0, but when 3.5 was announced, they held off on releasing them for nearly a year to get them 3.5 comliant. The first one (Fighters and Barbarians) was still a little 3.0 buggy because of it, but the Clerics and Druids book introduced the concept...

I believe all of the Grimtooth's traps books were compiled, updated to 3.5 and released in a hardback form last year or the year before, but I forget by whom. FFG I think. Speaking of FFG, their Traps and Treachery books are likewise full of come good traps. I have a couple in mind for future...

Look for Heroes of High Favor: Half-Orcs. It's a small, digest sized book packed full of both fluff and crunchy ideas.

The figure in question has her shirt unbuttoned almost to her navel and has assests many women pay cold hard cash to have implanted. If not "gigantic", then certainly easily gender recognizable! :D

I'm pretty sure the gigantic cleavage was the giveaway on that one, yeah. There are only 5 sculpts in that link, not an entire line, and two of those have rifles. I'd say it was a bit early yet to pass judgement on the line. Personally, I think this line will be great. Reaper is my favorite...

Yes, actually I would have preferred not seeing a book that I couldn't use, and one the publisher knew I couldn't use when they put it out. My beef with the book was not only the rules crunch (and yeah, their crunch was often iffy, but then again a LOT of it made it into core 3.5 ed with the...

Huh. Search for "Twowolves", "Two" and "Wolves" turned up such as "Dinkle Dog", but not me. My bad! Please PC delete my idiocy in a public forum. :o

I've got over 800 and I'm not on it. :(
