I have played in a D20 version of Deadlands, and I had a blast. I had no knowledge of the alternate rules systems, so D20 seemed pretty intuitive to me, and for our group which has had no desire to learn new systems to play games, it worked for us. Is it playable, Yes. Did we have fun, Yes...

it was nice to revisit the story, but the production was crap otherwise. Animation, Dialog and other sound, Voice acting was poor... just crap. WotC should license to an Anime Company that already produces decent works... (not to imply that it should have Anime styling, but the companies know...

I had done some work importing them into the Forgotten Realms. See Soulforged (thayan warforged) in my signature, and you will see ideas sprinkled in there on some other FR variants.

You can take a great number of minis of animals, humanoids, or others and do a little with repaints using liberal white/blue to add elements of ice/cold to them... really inexpensive way to use some of the otherwise useless commons in DDM.

Archivist from Heroes of Horror might do well... a scholarly type but focused on divine/planar/occult/undead types.

No plans for 4e, and unless I can easily find games, then D&D will be mothballed. Going old-school for a while, although I will likely use some of my 3e stuff for inspiration, I will be using much simpler rules... Basic Fantasy (http://www.basicfantasy.org/). I also would like to get more play...

It may or may not perfectly fit your character concept, but I retrofitted the Archivist class with a nature focus... the Biosoph. The biggest change is swapping the cleric spell list with the druid list, and some flavor/focus changes... instead of occult/undead/outsider the Biosoph deals with...

This is where I am as well, although my interests have moved onto old school Star Frontiers lately. Check out www.starfrontiersman.com or www.starfrontiers.us for info on that front. I am waiting for 4e stuff to appear before totally committing to ditching D&D. Even minis are on the back...

Although I understand the position that you do not like to kill the characters, nothing seems more unrealistic than losing the fear of death in a game where combat with enemies is one of the pivotal parts of the game. What do you do when the characters decide that at level 5, they embark on a...

I had planned to have a "Unorthodox Game" where all classes would come from The Le's series of books on classes. I have not had a chance to actually run such, but I think it would be fun.

... bacon!

Consider an Archivist as an alternative to cleric (available on WotC website (was a preview, or Heroes of Horror). More skills, knowledge, and group boosting abilities... and of course, the ability to heal. I think the occult/outsider/undead orientation of Archivist, as written, would lend...

It might help to think of yourself as the 'magical rogue', right down to the 'sneak magical strike'. Although I agree with the advice to not listen to everyone's opinion, I would also not recommend bard. I have seen a bard/beguiler and although it seems like a great combo, the player in...

I'll buy such items for a dollar :uhoh: :] Just to take them off his hands ;)

I used the PHB ranger with a few optional things from an old issue of Dragon Magazine, namely some stuff associated with the type of terrain the ranger hails from... but I have not looked at this stuff in oh so long!

"roll to see if anyone is menstruating" I nearly choked on my soda when I heard this.

I have a large clan of Dwarves, the Trefallen Clan, which is comprised of primarily Rangers and other outdoorsy types. The Clan specializes in Lumberjack trades, providing construction material and fuel for their more traditional bretheren. Axe specialists, merchants involved in the wood...

To this and the others offering praise... Thanks But please, stop by and let us know what exactly you liked (or disliked) so we know where to best focus our energies. http://www.starfrontiers.us/ or http://www.starfrontiersman.com/ and of course, feel free to join in that community of SciFi...

again, check with Bill. referee@starfrontiersman.com I am just one of the contributers for the magazine, and he would have better knowledge in that area. It is not really 'my' magazine, so much as 'our' magazine... and when I say our magazine, I mean everyone who is a fan of Star Frontiers!
