    D20 Modern Dungeon Crawling

    14: Abandoned Military Facility. This could include bunkers, secret test facilities, Area 51 type installations, The Maginot Line, or even bunkers underneath a dictator's home. Example: The forests of the Northwestern US are quite large and often remote. Many miles from civilization in one such...

    the gamers zodiac

    For, most likely, obvious reasons the Wolf In Sheep's Clothing didn't make it into 3E. It looked like a tastey, defensless rabbit sitting on a stump, but was actually a tentacled monster with built in bait.

    1/20 New Bullet Points up at WotC: Characters

    ROFL Maybe Tellerve was right. Strange, and a tad bit unsettling... :D :D

    What do you do for miniatures?

    For the past eight or nine years I've only bought three brands of minis; Reaper, Reaper and Reaper... (except for the female death cleric from chainmail, the only WoTC mini I ever "had to have") That's Awesome! I've been thinking about doing this for years but haven't bothered to order any...

    1/20 New Bullet Points up at WotC: Characters

    I'm afraid I just can't trust you, jaerdaph. Your face is pale and your eye is odd.

    D20 Menace Manual - Is it worth buying?

    AAARRGGHHHHH!!! :eek: Thank you. :) Of course. Sometimes you see it and sometimes it just doesn't make sense.

    D20 Menace Manual - Is it worth buying?

    I wouldn't call that a review as much as a preview/summary by a very biased individual. ;) Incidently, there is a ghoul statted out in the free Trouble At Blackrock adventure available for download on WoTC's site, which is more in line with the D&D version. Absolutely. There's a lot of that...

    D20 Menace Manual - Is it worth buying?

    I'll add that most of the monsters without illustrations are either real-world creatures like the hippo or D&D monsters like harpies, which you're pretty likely to already have pictures of, or know where to get some. So the lack of illos for them isn't terribly bad.

    Town Fair: Great adventure setting, but what should be there?

    I thought the brazen strumpets had the big things? :D I had a traveling carnival in my campaign. They had a gnoll (Actually a canine humanoid, use what you've got) in a cage posing as a werewolf. The gnoll was "going their way" so he tagged along, got three square meals a day and at night he'd...

    Ilithids among us! Brain eaters ravage Indiana!

    They eat what? Cow what sandwiches? *URP* Pardon me! *Bleahk* I feel better now. You get mad cow from eating infected brain and spinal tissue people! Stop eating brains! It's never ended happily for any culture. By the way Zaruthustran, your sig never ceases to lower my stress level. The...

    D20 Menace Manual - Is it worth buying?

    I like it a lot. It has some supernatural creatures in it, but I like it because of the number of "non-magical" monsters. Even though some of them have some pretty way-out-there abilities, they can fit into a campaign that doesn't revolve around "Urban Arcana". It has something for everything...

    How is modern?

    Sure. Realistically, a lot of complaints/suggestions are probably BS and the designers just ignore it. However, sometimes designers probably get torn between two groups with good suggestions. Take VP/WP and its counterpart. Unless the designers have the luxury of extra pages which they can use...

    How is modern?

    It's sort of the old saying, "You can't please all of the people all of the time.", In this day and age of ultra-connectivity WoTC can end up with thousands of opinions dumped on them in a few days. One has to wonder if some products would be better if WoTC didn't listen to feedback. Certainly...

    Poll: Which Icons of Evil have Influenced Your Game's BBEG?

    I'm no christian, but how did The Devil not make it onto a list of villains? :)

    Once I get that Weapons Locker...

    Some people just can't resist the lure of genuine, official WoTC merchandise. :D I pre-ordered a copy today. Of course, I also pre-ordered the Player's Guide to Faerun and told them to ship them at the same time, so I guess I won't get D20WL until late March. ;)

    How is modern?

    I agree, that quote was just an argument I've seen people use. And this is why the age of instant feedback cuts both ways. :/ Which brings me to my next point; Facts don't usually irritate me, though the manner in which they are presented sometimes does. Also, as I said, I am well aware of...

    How is modern?

    They're right under handcuffs in the core rulebook. Anyway, my characters usually carry a stun gun too... I know, I bought it for our SW GM. Just because the system already existed doesn't mean they wouldn't have had to change a lot of the rules for D20M. Or in other words, they would have had...

    How many gamers does it take to change a light bulb?

    ROFL. *SNIFF* Q: How many Dragons Reborn does it take to change a light bulb? A: That depends on whether the voice in my head is really Lew Therin Telamon or just me going crazy. -- Q: How many Dragons Reborn does it take to change a light bulb? A: Break it break them all must break them must...

    How many gamers does it take to change a light bulb?

    Just one. And if you argue with me you can just find yourself a new DM.

    How much do you prepare for a homebrew?

    Interesting; at this point we have the same number of people saying they over-prepare as under-prepare. I fall into a category of people who over-prepare inconsequential details while not making any progress with the important things. :D
