    Storage for Individual Minis

    These are what I use as well, but the store keeps running out... so I have several from other manufacturers.

    Gleemax is taking over... your identity has been absorbed into the collective.

    "Shrinking" the new classes from 20- to 10-level advancement

    Not very helpful to the OP but I would rather see the existing power levels stretched out to about 30 to 40 levels, and the time spent within each level stretched out a bit as well. Just a random thought.... carry on now.

    Rust Monsters vs. Warforged

    I have house-ruled that the standard size rust monster does the same as Rusting Grasp Spell (2d6). Larger or Advanced HD rust monsters would do more. I also ruled (this is where the HR comes in) that each hit will drop their Composite Plating protection by 1, so a standard warforged character...

    UA Rogue Variant

    My opinion on what has been discussed already... I would give the Rogue the Fighter Bonus Feats at the standard Fighter progession. However the Rogue is not a fighter, so the 4th level Fighter prerequisite for Specialization needs adjusting. The idea mentioned above (to replace the 4th level...

    Desert of Desolation series - individual modules or mega-adventure

    Either way is ok... if it was me, I would go for the $30 package, as the little map booklet is a great addition. Amun-Ra rules.

    Sf-rpg?

    Why no mention of Star Frontiers. Best thing about it is that it is FREE on PDF now... head over to www.starfrontiersman.com to check it out along with the webzine that is being produced to support this classic. Lots of folks are getting back to basics with this.

    What do you think of Power of Faerun?

    No offense to any of the authors who might read this, but I felt the book was worthless as a whole. There are a couple of decent bits in it, but overall... poopoo.

    Summoner Class Design Thread

    Rather than trying to pair opposites, I think it might be easier to simply create a list of types... some might be large (demons, devils, etc), while some might be smaller (celestial, abberations). Like normal wizardly specialization, one chooses one to excel at and at the same time must choose...

    Summoner Class Design Thread

    I think extending durations by CHA or INT bonus is a great idea. What can be done for a specialization mechanism? Maybe choose a creature type (animal, humanoid, fey, CE outsider, LE outsider, NE outsider, L/N/CG outsider,... list goes on) and with that choice grant a specialization bonus...

    Summoner Class Design Thread

    You guys are great... I hadn't had much time to delve into this like I thought I would... but what you guys came up with is a great start. Exactly the sort of stuff I was hoping for!

    Need ideas for an interesting Necromacncer type

    The Archivist side is nice because it allows one to acquire any appropriate divine spell. For me, this really allows a very focused spellcaster type... all necro, all the way... mixed with the best a Necromancer Specialist Wizard can dig up. I'm not much about powergaming/minmaxing/optimized...

    Need ideas for an interesting Necromacncer type

    One of my favorite Necromancer types is an Archivist/Specialist Wizard (necromancy)/Mystic Theurge, whose personality is sorta based upon a DR. Frankenstein type of person... researching and learning about occult and necromancy in order to learn about the secrets of life, but he has trouble...

    Dragon & Dungeon Magazine Alternative

    The print documents are really just Lulu.com jobs. But still cool.

    Dragon & Dungeon Magazine Alternative

    I think they will let Dragon and Dungeon lag for a while so that they become 'fond memories'... then they will announce with great fanfare the return (albeit online) of the namesakes. I have to admit that I am still rather P.O.'d about the magazines' cancellation, even if the uproar has calmed...

    Should I allow the Spell Compendium in my campaign?

    For me, the best way to handle the SC is to limit the characters to the PHB when they pick spells gained from achieving their levels (or the standard cleric/druid list from PHB). None of the freebie spells come from SC. The SC contents are spells that can be researched, found on scrolls, old...

    Party of Three

    For smaller parties I would suggest to the players to take classes/feats/options that include animal companions, familiars, special mounts, etc. and options that beef those up. You might grant each character a bonus feat if they take you up on your suggestion to take classes with these kinds...

    Conversion: Fantasy Rules into Star Frontiers

    I haven't had a chance to do anything with this lately. I am hoping that when the StarFrontiersman Forum goes up, there will be a lot of initial interest in that site, and lots of new suggestions from people outside the current loops. Anyhow, this isn't forgotten, just on pause.
