Don't pay full price for product If you're a frequent consumer of RPG products, then you shouldn't ever pay retail for product. (Professional and serious photographers, for instance, don't ever pay retail for equipment, film and processing, either --- we buy from New York mail order stores) Buy...

Re: Re: Re: Thanks and more please! Don't bother with Blood of Heroes. Get the DC Heroes boxed set, 2nd edition. You won't regret it. For $12 on half.com, it's probably one of the best deals in gaming. In the age of $40 books, $12 for DC Heroes is a steal. Here's the review for DC Heroes 3rd...

Re: Thanks and more please! Yes there was. Mayfair's DC Heroes Role Playing Game. You can pick it up on half.com or eBay for about $10-$15 including shipping. An elegant, beautiful system, and lots of cool stuff. Pity it went out of print when Mayfair lost the DC license.

Re: Re:^3 Joe Asukura Great. I'll do it on the next go around. I'm probably going to take out all the team-specific details and put them on one sheet, so that the character sheet is smaller and will fit on two sides of one page. I think the Whirlwind pyramid needs a variable DC for missing...

Re: Re: Re: Re:^2 Cool Start Ok, that makes sense. I guess I'm still suffering from CoC d20 thinking. On the other hand, I like having one fewer mechanic to explain to players. I don't think I can sell too many players in my 5 player/1 dm group on another core book! It's strange, they'll...

Ryu! The Owl.

Magic items can be bought I used to play with rare magic, magic can't be sold, etc, and I've gone back to the "sell for half", and commission new at DMG + 10%. It balances the game a little better, and PCs aren't stuck with whatever crap item I happen to roll. It also doesn't penalize the PCs...

Jinpei The swallow!

Re: Re:^2 Cool Start Heh. Ok, I guess I've been too cheap to buy the Spycraft book and it shows. I'd be more generous with my money if/when I get paid for my CoC d20 work --- then RPG books become tax deductible :) The issue is one of book keeping, rather than the way critical works or...

Re: Re: Joe Asukura Good catch! His feats are supposed to be the same both ways. I'm not combining stat blocks because of this in-game gimmick I have in mind. I'm going to hand out double-sided character sheets, with one side illustrated with the Kagaku Ninja in Civilian dress, and the other...

Gatchaman soundtrack CDs One of the coolest things about building a game around an existing TV show is the availability of things like pictures and soundtracks. It was hard for me to find cheap soundtrack CDs, though, but I finally found a source for Gatchaman...

G-3 Jun The lovely Swan herself, Jun.

Joe Asukura Here's G-2! Boy, he's a fighter alright.

Re: Cool Start Why would a department be important? Everyone would come from the same department, right? I'm trying to model Gatchaman, so I guess I'd ignore department rules. I'm still not completely sold on Spycraft yet. I like the BAB progression/saving throw progressions, but I am having a...

Oh yeah. I not only purchase modules, I run them, and I convert them from older editions as well. I don't have time to really write adventures from scratch, though I learned the hard way that converting an old adventure is a lot more work. I subscribe to dungeon and run adventures out of...

Here's an attempt at G-1 I've completed an attempt at Ken Washio. (I'm not done yet, but it's a stab) Obviously, I'll need to flesh out my hero point system...

Re: Re: Re: d20 Gatchaman in Spycraft? Better to use the standard "G" designations: G-1: Ken G-2: Joe G-3: Jun G-4: Jinpei G-5: Ryu

Masks of Nyarlathotep d20 sent to Publisher My final draft of the conversion of the Masks of Nyarlathotep has been sent to Chaosium as of today. There'll be the usual proofing/editing process, and then hopefully we'll see it at the printers some time this year or early next year. Obviously...

Re: Re: d20 Gatchaman in Spycraft? Ok, I like the classes (especially the soldier class). But I'm having trouble finding the rules on action dice. From the reviews it seems like they are die boosters, but not nearly as flexible as my vision of hero points would be. I notice that Demolitions...

I don't get it... Why would you care who the publisher of a book was? I care much more about the author! For instance, Monte Cook's stuff is great (I'm a Monte Cook fanboy), and so I end up buying anything he writes, whether it's published by WotC, Fiery Dragon, or Malhavoc Press/S&S. I think...
