    Points of Light - Help me make sense ?

    They're getting away from the "humans as default culture" thing, so I would think when the dragonborn strides into town, it's more like . . . I dunno . . . living in downstate Illinois and meeting a Canadian. Maybe you never met a Canadian before, but you've heard about them. And you don't...

    Gary Gygax Passes

    Godspeed, Gary. Your imagination has provided a playground for millions.

    Gleemax Terms of Use - Unacceptable

    Done. I'm going to check out of this discussion...even if you are overreacting here, that's ultimately your call to make, and I suppose one should err on the side of caution.

    Gleemax Terms of Use - Unacceptable

    Well, that and bawdy limericks.

    Everything else is just comedy, Raven.

    Gleemax Terms of Use - Unacceptable

    Not intended as such, Raven. The Satan part was a bit of a rhetorical flourish, that's all. But you did say something earlier about posting on Gleemax and then spending the rest of your life "waiting for the other shoe to drop," right? I just hate the thought that in the year 2058, you will...

    Gleemax Terms of Use - Unacceptable

    Suit yourself, resistor. Maybe I'm spending too much time in the grownup world right now, because I'm thinking about the real purposes behind this sort of boilerplate user agreement, and the real world consequences, and not some sort of abstract moral issue or worst-case scenario. Raven, I...

    Gleemax Terms of Use - Unacceptable

    If your idea is so valuable, don't give away your idea on a damn message board. Develop it, publish it, and sell it. Message boards are great for brainstorming, but don't give away your "intellectual property" if you really plan to sell it.

    Gleemax Terms of Use - Unacceptable

    Good point regarding the Valar Project, but I have never seen that as the egregious attack on free speech that some folks perceive. BoEF still saw print, just without the d20 logo or any other overt links between Hasbro / WotC and The Big Book of Elf Porn. As an attorney, all I see is some...

    Gleemax Terms of Use - Unacceptable

    1. As someone else pointed out, they've had similar language on their message boards for some time. 2. Filing a lawsuit and avoiding early dismissal are two different things. Getting a suit thrown out on a motion for summary judgment is the next best thing to avoiding the suit altogether. 3...

    Will There Be a New Indiana Jones RPG?

    Seems pretty unlikely. Would've been announced by now. Unlike Star Wars, which is a very specific brand of space opera with a unique set of assumptions, Indy is more of a straightahead adventure pulp / cliffhanger homage, and probably a lot easier to model with any modern(ish) ruleset. A...

    A couple of ideas for adapting the SAGA rules

    Suggested rule --- the bonus skill at 1st level for being human can be ANY skill, not limited to your class skills, and your level feats (at 1st, 3rd, 6th, etc) can also be Skill Training for ANY skill. Just a quick way to keep the skills lists flexible without requiring multiclassing.

    D&D 4E 4E FRCS Cover: NOOOOOOOOOO!

    Thanks. Seriously, the way he's been statted most recently, Drizzt is just a moderately underequipped, suboptimally built high level (upper teens) character with some good ability scores. Many PCs will have heard rumors of him, few will have met him, and he has better things to do than follow...

    D&D 4E 4E FRCS Cover: NOOOOOOOOOO!

    Of course they have Drizzt. In addition to being a tremendously popular character, he is a rather good example of what a young adventurer in the Realms can aspire to become. No Chosen of Mystra whoo-hah, just a few flavorful magic items, a certain degree of fame, and some recurring bad guys...

    Sense-of-Wonder Travel Campaign?

    There’s a great book called the Encyclopedia of Imaginary Places, which covers a huge number of fictional locales. I’ve thought that there’s a great “real world” campaign waiting to happen there...maybe a Victorian era campaign in a steampunk submarine a la Nemo, traveling from Atlantic to...

    SWSE as Sword and Sorcery

    Well, that makes more sense. I've been out of the d20 loop lately. Now, something like SUPER FIGHT WIZARD IDENTITY ASSUME GAME!, that's catchy. You can use that if you want. That's my gift to you. ;)

    A couple of ideas for adapting the SAGA rules

    Yeah, I think that four class approach might be the ticket. Maybe mix in occupations from d20 Modern so the list of class skills doesn't become too restrictive. Tech Op The Tech Op would get all the Renegade Tech talents (from the SW web supplement), and Jury Rig, and probably Educated (from...

    A couple of ideas for adapting the SAGA rules

    I loves me some Star Wars SAGA rules. I've had a couple of thoughts lately about rejiggering the rules for some other genres... 1. I'd like to adapt the Jedi class and make it a Martial Artist class for a chop-socky one-shot, borrowing generously from "Blood and Fists" and "Martial Arts...

    SWSE as Sword and Sorcery

    "Fantasy Concepts Campaign Resources" Man, that's a bland title for an interesting project. Gneech, you did some nice work. I hope to see updated versions down the line.

    Call of Cthulhu d20!

    Hey, I still have a copy of CoC d20 in excellent condition I'd sell for about $50, if anyone's interested. Baby needs a new pair of shoes. Seriously.
