Heck, I'd use him. Especially if he had a motorcycle and looked like Lorenzo Lamas, only cooler.

Really? Aside from psis (PK 20 for a 100-point character), even GURPS 3e had safeguards against this. Most GURPS characters in games I have played have not been power-tweaked. By contrast, I rarely see a game of D&D 3e/3.5e without a character who has been seriously power-tweaked. There are two...

Even more than the attempt to be the Complete Illumian, this last bit is what drove me nuts. I understand the need to balance between crunchy bits and and roleplaying info (one reason I liked the deities chapter in Complete Divine was its ability to weave roleplaying info into a crunchy bit...

Well, I stole all their wallets, and used all their credit cards at the gaming store. Thus, they figure they might have bought a copy -- depending on whether or not I felt they should be purchasing one and which stolen credit card I used. :cool: But seriously, Wizards, regrettably, needs to...

Nope. No plans either. Couple of neat prestige classes and feats, but nothing coherent. I really liked the city system, but really, Wizards should have an Urban Survival Guide. The return of the survival guides could replace the Frostburn-type stuff, which is selling slowly.

Over a decade ago, I ran into Dave Arneson at a con, and he showed me something he was planning on auctioning -- a book on the sexual habits of demihumans. Somehow, that seemed relevant to this discussion.

You're fast. I once played in an 8-hour Epic combat. Everyone was airborne.

I run GURPS usually, though the group I'm in needs to have a D&D game for some players to stay sane, and we're alternating it with CoC ... I e-mailed SJ Games about the book, and after I described the problem, it sent me a new book free of charge. The company just rules.

GURPS 4th Edition. Shouldn't the list above be titled just d20 books, not RPG books? There are other games out there besides d20, and there have been recent revisions of GURPS, World of Darkness and HERO.

Once. GURPS Black Ops game. The GM's wife decided that she didn't like me, and threw me out via e-mail. Est vita.

Who ride motorcycles and look like Lorenzo Lamas, only cooler. I voted for none, but I would be willing to listen to a player who wanted to play most any of them. Excepting psionics, of course, and the world-flavored ones (Mystic, Artificer, Noble).

But paladins and rangers don't cast enough spells for this feat to be useful. Really, this feat is for the mystic theurges, the true necromancers, the arcane tricksters and other multiclassed spellcasters.

Distribute this for free? I would pay for it. Seriously. One thnig that always drove me nuts about Kenzer's languages is that their grammars are more or less that of English, as well as Wizards' stab in the Draconomicon. Not only would a basic construction kit be good, but you'd probably want...

From a personal standpoint, I allow almost any spell with a target and a duration of 10 min/level or greater to be permanent. If the wizard wants to pay the xp in some of those cases, he can be my guest -- these are spells that already have long durations, so them being on for more than one...

The rules for Ecclestical Latin are based on Vulgar Latin, the common tongue spoken even in Cicero's time. They are indeed more relaxed and free, but the basics of the tongue are no different. "Libris Mortis" has the same meaning in Ante-Classical, Golden Age Classical, Silver Age Classical...

Hide in Plain Sight? I can't think of a good reason not to do so, and I permit it in my game, though right now I have yet to have a rogue make it to such high a level. I would think UA's need of Camouflage first would be a decent one. Citing UA leads me to my followup. The ranger gets HIPS. At...

Lieber. I don't read much fiction, and his is about the only fiction that I find inspirational for my fantasy games. In a lesser vein, Weis/Hickman, Tolkein and HPL. Most gaming novels, especially those of Gygax and Greenwood, make great kitty litter liners.

I chose Chaotic Good since that's what the Wizards test told me, but I'd consider myself somewhere between NG and CG. I almost surely lost lawful points since I don't consider blood to be an especially strong tie, something the Wizards test valued. I'd be kinda curious how those with different...

I'll go with sorcerer, though with some notes. I play a monk, and have played this character for some time. At one point, he was having incredible trouble reaching 4th level -- he died 3 times with just enough XP to reach 4th, but was raised back to the midpoint of 3rd level. However, once the...
