    What is a good non-d20 sci-fi RPG?

    If anyone is interested in having the Star Frontiers Rules, here is a site where the rules have been re-mastered as quality pdf's. Looks very nice. http://www.starfrontiersman.com/

    Prestige Classes

    I really like the idea of PRCs as they can accomplish things that basic multiclassing cannot. Specifically, they make very good ways to differentiate different organizations, cults, or special niche endeavors not possible with the basic class mechanics. That being said, I am also a big fan of...

    Favorite Polyhedron d20 Minigames

    I cannot say I have played any of them, but if given a choice I might like the Knights of the Lich Queen or Hijinx.

    What do you think of Modrons?

    Maybe Nǿяdºм is good enough.

    What do you think of Modrons?

    This is a wonderful idea for a subrace or anti-race of modrons inhabiting Limbo alongside Slaadi, or another mostly chaos based plane. The realm is angular and irregularly built, with obtuse angles, zig-zags, and fractal-like designs. These anti-modrons may have bent, irregular, or somewhat...

    What is a good non-d20 sci-fi RPG?

    While I know I loved Star Frontiers, I am surprised by the number of others who also seem to share this. I had this idea on the backburner to take the core mechanics from SF and develop a Fantasy rule subset (a little more low fantasy than the traditional D&D set) based on those mechanics. I...

    Building a Table: Gaming Surface?

    I also suggest plexiglass for the surface. Drop a grid underneath, or even a pre-prepared large map, and in addition you can write with the dry-erase upon this plastic. Post up pics when you start to get fabrication going... a design log of sorts

    Excel based Character Sheet

    Like I said previously, I have looked at a lot of spreadsheets. Heroforge is overly complex, not landscaped oriented for laptop viewing, and does not lend itself well to further customization (mostly because of my meager Excel programming). I want something that I can work with easily, without...

    Excel based Character Sheet

    This sheet does a great number of calculations, based upon some initial entries (see Class area in bottom left of 1st page). Once class info is entered (BAB for the class, save and such) that info is carried to appropriate areas, as is Armor info once entered for the individual piece is carried...

    Harry Potter Magical Items: Moody's Mad Eye

    The movies make it appear like about 50mph (even more in nosedives), all with some maneuverability. I wouldn't know what to actually stat it as for purposes of D&D.

    Excel based Character Sheet

    I have been wanting an Excel based character sheet that can be used during play on my laptop. I have looked at several, but they are generally unwieldy, poorly laid out for game use, or toner hogs. So this has prompted me to begin construction of a spreadsheet character sheet that addresses...

    Harry Potter Magical Items: Moody's Mad Eye

    The Gillyweed item needs to note swim speed granted (if the aquatic subtype does not specify... I don't really know). The broom speeds seen in the movie seem a lot faster than what you have listed. Other items for development: Time Turner (Prisoner of Azcaban), the various candies (voices of...

    What is a good non-d20 sci-fi RPG?

    I'll pipe in with Star Frontiers (and Knight Hawks) original box sets... For BSG just omit other races, and change a few minor details like how 'jumps' work and limit the equipment. Everything else is there. Skills, Weapons, Ship to ship combat rules, and more... and everything is pretty...

    Seekinig help on character concept.

    I had a Dwarven Fighter/Ranger concept... A Dwarven Lumberjack who in addition to all the specialization and pure combat goodiness (and we used additional Ranger Styles: Strong Arm (cleave/sunder combo), but you could still use TWF and the Urgosh), the character had a lot of flair as a Paul...

    Combating Burn-out

    My periods of burnout seem to have more to do with 'real life' than of gaming. Work, Children, College (getting a re-education for Nursing RN), and the like seem to have taken the steam out of my gaming. That being said, it seems that when I get a break of sorts in one of the life-issues, my...

    Must have 3.5 supplements. . .

    My 'core' consists of: Main Three PHB2 DMG2 Spell Compendium Heroes of Horror (classes, critters, and other bits) Fiendish Codex 1,2 Monster Books (any, including Tome of Horrors 1,2,3) Magic Item Compendium (seen it, although I have not acquired a copy yet) These are all great, but in...

    Scott Rouse: of Interesting Note

    I wouldn't call this paranoia. It seems the events of late have been the fuel for speculation, not psychological issues. You, sir, are just trying to stir feelings - and I see through that attempt to troll in this thread. I had an honest observation and felt like sharing. WotC even felt it...

    Scott Rouse: of Interesting Note

    I appreciate you popping in to say that. Just so you know, I like the minis (and have a lot), but they are used as an enhancement to our roleplay game and I have never played the skirmish game. I guess I have a different vocab when it comes to this. Table Top games bring to mind (other than...
