I love that you call that "flat colors". Even at the peak of my artistic ability, a decade ago, that would have been the finished good and then some. Excellent work as always, man. These peeks into your sketchbook are half my reason for checking in here now and again. :)

I swear I responded to this two days ago, but whatever... I just wanted to add, although I know it doesn't much matter, that I feel it would really hurt the game to see such an important supplement canned. D20 Modern is served best, in my opinion, by genre books that expand the potential of the...

strange settings that are strange for the sake of being strange put me off. Settings that just rename all the visible things and are otherwise "traditional" for the most part, also put me off. Any setting that isn't "traditional fantasy" has to work much harder. It has to be better, because it...

Psion... most of my friends already think I'm psychic. I'm definately telepathetic :)

I don't dislike them, so much as I dislike the elitism of them. In other words: I'm jealous and I admit it. Sure I wouldn't like the crowds. Sure there would be lots of stuff I would think was silly or just not very interesting. But the ability to pick up some stuff (sometimes) weeks before it...

This is likely a longshot, but how about more minis based on other cultures? Minis of other ethnicities and backgrounds. I like the "fantasy-european" (and the "fantasy-asian") figures and want more, but I could do with some figures to represent other cultures and character concepts too.

A lot of the sets seem humanoid heavy to me, which I am sure makes sense for the mini game. I'd like to see a set that is a little more creature heavy for us folks using them primarily as a game aid. I too want to see more "iconic" D&D critters, or generic fantasy creatures. Including...

I've had a few beer drinkers in my games. It's never been an issue. I know some folks drink beer like others drink soda. I always tell them I don't care what they drink so long as they are of age and do so in moderation so as to keep a clear head for the game. I even have a couple of players...

1.) Palladium's (I played Rifts specifically) game mechanics just kill me. Sorry palladium fans. I really wanted to like this game, and have a ton of the books as I did enjoy some of the setting ideas, but I just couldn't get past the horrible (in my opinion) game mechanics. 2.) GURPS runs a...

Chose the 3rd option. I only use them heavily for combat, but every combat. I have the player's characters out all the time and standing in marching order for a visual reference as to approximately who is where.

Give the mundane treasure some real weight within the game... If you just come up with stuff off the top of your head and throw it in the pile you have to expect low level parties to only take what they think they can get good money for and high level parties to often completely ignore it. I'm...

I... would probably just keep going to the game parlor so long as you can get there in less than an hour. A good game store, that you have an established relationship with, is worth 45 minutes in the car (I use the Game Parlor in Chantilly, btw) in my opinion. Of course, getting the location of...

Railroading is a tricky subject. The first thing you have to come to grips with, as a player or DM, is that almost every adventure module (purchased or home built) contains some railroading. Most have a climactic enounter (a destination) that the PCs are expected to get to and overcome. The real...

The problem here, for me, is that nobody seems to be able to agree which games are actually "rules lite". It seems only the most extreme cases, of which I can't currently think of any, are able to be identified and globally recognized as such. In that regard it is a lot like "Low Magic". Some...

red or blue seem to be the norm. Mine are blue with more powerful healing potions becoming increasingly more vivid in color. Tastes vary however. A cure light wounds potion might taste likey honey suckle, while a cure moderate might have a strong citrus taste. *shrug*

late to the party... A lot of this depends on the game world and how you care to handle potions. THere is nothing wrong with how you want to run it, just be ready for your players to quickly find ways around it or find ways to use it to their advantage. in my homebrew potions have fairly set...

I've run it, and it works. I made some pretty big changes to both the future world of rifts and the WoD games though. It was more 'based on both, but ultimately my own creation'. It ran decent enough and we managed to come away with a few anecdotes and a couple of memorable characters.

... ok then. We don't see enough female wookies. :)

Just did some work on my dwarves... The dwarves of my setting are swarthy with dark brown or black hair. They don't live nearly as long as D&D dwarves (most of my races have basically human lifespans) but do live to be older than humans in general due to their increased hardiness. My setting...

Yep, but all of my comments (and pretty much all of the mars talk in this thread) have revolved around the idea of a planet with significantly less water coverage than the earth. 25% surface coverage by my most recent post, and not nearly as deep as the oceans of our own planet. It's bee pointed...
