My $.02. First, make a list of ten things that make it different from current campain worlds. Sounds like you have a start with your list. Write up a paragraph or five that can tell people what it is about and the general theme. You might let a few friends read it and get their impression...

Depends on the game and what you want to do with it and how do you want it to feel and flow. d20 seems to be a moderate in difficulty system that works well with heroic settings. If that's what you want to do or if you want to be compatable with other d20 games out there, why reinvent the wheel...

*edit* Nevermind. Figured it out.

Other. Not sure what, but elves and dwarves wouldn't really work without each other, and I don't like the other choices. I'd probably pick something completly new.

My appologies for hasty reading and typing. Given choice, yes, I think guns would be prefered weapons. The point I was trying to make (and mistakenly addressing) was that spears and swords still had a place on the battlefield well into modern times. Rifles (and the like) are ranged weapons and...

I would contest that, since bayonets on the end of the rifle is basically a spear and they remain an important weapon. While perhaps not a weapon of choice, it is a very deadly hand to hand weapon that figures in modern warfare. Even then, many of the 19th century bayonets were bascially...

Berserker instead of barbarian would have been nice. However, the only thing I think they really needed would be demihuman progression methods past what they already increased them to. UA was basically a collection of issues that most people had already come up with house rules for plus classes...

In the days when the empires of the elves and dwarves were waining and the men were growing strong, the other humanoid races prayed to the gods of chaos for aid. One of them heeded their prayers and kiddnapped a daughter of the head elven god and forced himself upon her and sealed her in a cave...

They could very well be the good guys too. Certainly Paladins could hold hopes of conquoring the world and displacing all those evil empires. They'd just be the BBGs.

I started a Thay campaign that was similar. The "adventure path" was set up so that the PCs would be working for the Red Wizards and through reputation via getting jobs done and a wizard PC with family connections would be able to enter into the existing power structure and do all the things...

I'd vote for Ozymandias in Watchmen: "'Do it?' Dan, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I did it thirty-five minutes ago." IMC, I think the best effect was after a PC was...

Really! I need to level some more perhaps and look for quests.

I think he's thinking of WoW.

You mean the base 8? AD&D parties were usually twice the size of current not including henchmen and followers. As for initiative, seems like every game I played in had a different system. 1d6. 1d10. 1d10 modified for weapon speed. etc. The system that the players and I came up with for my...

Drow cat girl?

I hate spiders.

No save mechanic desired. Although there have been times we've backed up and said certain things didn't happen, those are rare and unplanned events that are only decided upon due to extreme circumstances, usually because everybody is dead. Overtly allowing for such a mechanic is too much of a...

My main dislike of the 3.5 system is the shallow level advancement. People advance too quickly, particularly at higher levels. Next time I run a game, I'll attempt to change this by going to 1000 XP to 2nd level and then 1.6 times the XP needed for current level to go to the next. Provides for...
