Very true. Depending on the Paladin's Holy Order, what he does will be different. But you forget one particular thing they could have done. The Paladin, upon detecting the ambush, could order his men in for the attack. An ambush depends on a critical few seconds of inaction, and without it...

As another poster pointed out, my product line, if the non-mechanics were taken out, wouldn't be a very big line. And that's the point. You don't buy the material just for the mechanics, and to assume that it is the only reason people purchase your material is actually somewhat insulting to the...

I am referring to the old 1E boxed set of Twilight 2000. The other came out while I was overseas, and didn't exactly have access to them. :D

OK, I'll chime in here. Crippled Content? You're violating the spirit of the liscense, and frankly, you're cheating. You do this, and my estimation of your ethics comes into play. Yes, it was your hard work that did it, but guess what, every single piece of OGC out there is someone's hard work...

Personally? If it was done out of ignorance... Smack thier parents, both sets, and then use them as poster-boys for bringing back Home Economics. Of course, since ignorance is seen as edgy and cool, maybe that needs to be turned around too. If it was done out of malice or just plain...

What? The words are English, but I don't quite understand.

He can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat if he applies the following parts of the Guy Code: Don't crap where I live. Do unto other guys like you'd like done unto you by them. Play with your own toys. If he puts a stop to it, lets the other guy know what is going on, and tells Mr. Cool...

How long is going to take to get there? What's the traffic like? Do I have the cash? Has she done her homework? How are the brakes in the van? Do we have the gas? Am I expecting an important call from overseas? Nope. It's go time. HAH! No. It's just that it wouldn't shock me if it did. Those...

Part of the Guy Code is: Ask before you drag me into it. See, this is just it: Suzy Hotpants and Joe Hormones have drug you into it by doing this in front of all of you, under your roof. What goes on in your house IS your business. Who pays the rent there? Them? No! Should you tell the...

Wizards, Adepts, and Sorcerer's all have distinct versions. Wizards eventually gain "Read Magic" as a class ability, can have spellbooks crammed with a variety of spells, have less of a chance of Arcane Burn, can imbue thier staff with 1 spell level per class level, gain the ability to swap out...

Yes, but I analyze everything, and the WCS influences my actions. But that's me. "I expect the worst, that way I'm never shocked, but I'm often pleasantly surprised."

The thread on powers led me to consider a few things... Paladins are easily stripped of thier special abilities, but we almost NEVER hear of it from other classes on this board. One poster pointed that out, and I almost burst out laughing, and when my wife asked why, I told her. That got an "I...

I solved a lot of the problem by defining the Paladin's Code for each religion (and writing up variant paladins for each of the God's in the setting) as well as discussing with the player what constituted good and evil. They all break down from the following list... Obey the tenets of the...

I've never understood the hatred for Paladins. I've played them and liked them, and had a lot of good players run a Paladin that brought a lot to the game. True, there's a lot cookie cutter stereotypes involved (here's a hint: Lawful Good does NOT mean Lawful Dumbass) in a Paladin, but they can...

I hope they do bring back Ravenloft, preferably returning to prior Azlan's weirdo experiment. Maybe right after the Grand Conjunction. Sorry, but Arthaus' stuff didn't seem to sell well at the nearby FLGS, where the old first or second boxed set was nearly impossible to grab before someone else...

A well timed, and appropriate compliment can brighten someone's day. It can take what is a horrible day and turn it slightly brighter, even make you feel better about yourself. Example: The woman at the counter of Fred Meyers looked VERY frazzled, and I noticed she was wearing a Christmas time...

Dragonlance. Rifts (the first time I played, after I leanred to GM it, everyone but the attention needy GM had a lot more fun)

I voted no. I purchase to support people I know, and PRODUCTS I need. Sure, OGC is good, but you know, there's more than one book out there where I couldn't care less about the mechanics, and purchase for non-crunch. Darwin's World is one such thing. All the mechanics don't matter, it's the...

I liked Rifts. I still like Rifts. My group and I decided: "This book is for GM's only, this book is partially open, and this one is fully open" and we've kept the arms race down by mutual agreement. They don't try to play 13th level Temporal Warrior Adult Green Horned Dragons, I don't sick...

Sounds like the makers of XCom ripped off the Sten series there. The Sten series used AM2 (an alterante form of Anti-Matter, the location of which it came from was undisclosed until the final book of the series) for everything from heating fuel to energy to starship to hand held weapons...
