    Story Hour - Your Favourite Story on the Boards

    I'll second, or third, or twentieth... the recommendation for Wulf's Story Hour. More laugh out loud moments than I've had in a long time reading, and the only story hour I've actually gone through completely. Wulf (the character) is a true classic, and the story hour actually is quite useful...

    Midnight: First Impressions of Campaign Book

    Thanks for the replies! Yeah, that makes sense.. though it's more like 3 1/2 HP per level, yes (with a 1d6), perhaps more since a lot of Channeler types might put a 'bonus' attribute in Constitution due to the temporary damage rules. Still not fighter-esque, but certainly not at all bad. And...

    Midnight: First Impressions of Campaign Book

    Heck, I almost worry they're overpowered compared to a fighter. Assuming they have a good spellcasting attribute score, and the additional weapon proficiency feats that many of the races have, they have better hit dice, probably better capability to cast spells and will be pretty decent at a...

    Midnight Players Wanted near Cape Cod Massachusetts.

    I ordered it from here actually, the RPG Shop. :) Don't have many good RPG stores around here unfortunately, one little comic shop. Haven't really checked out Hyannis though, for instance. Oh, and should you know any folks who would like a mature RP experience (doesn't mean older folks, just...

    Midnight: First Impressions of Campaign Book

    Thanks Herremann! I was more detailed than I usually am because this setting is such a good one, and it doesn't seem to be very high on most D20 player's radar screens yet. I know that myself, I assumed it was kinda a gothic/horror (maybe Vampire) setting based on the cover and more or less...

    Dungeoncraft by FFG (How is it?)

    So, how's Dungeoncraft? I have it on the way and am curious what other folks' impressions of it are. Robert Gamble

    My First Midnight Character

    Ok, I've discovered one more thing I like about Midnight. It makes it even easier for me to develop a character based on his history, rather than min/maxing, since the world is so vibrant: I decided to make a Snow Elf Channeler and before my first roll decided he would have the Heroic Path of...

    Midnight: First Impressions of Campaign Book

    More Midnight! *cackles heinously* More, more MORE! I've even got my CD 'play list' set out for it, since it worked so well while reading it. Both LotR movie soundtracks and two David Arkenstone CDs (Songs Inspired by Middle Earth, and Quest of the Dream Warrior). One book I picked up with...

    Wizards and "creating" new spells. (Idea for spicing up spell lists)

    I may not have described what I had in mind quite properly, at least how it relates to the rest of a campaign. The main point being that a Wizard can only learn spells from the DM's 'common knowledge spell lists' unless he creates a new spell. Additionally, I'd probably put limits on how many...

    Midnight Players Wanted near Cape Cod Massachusetts.

    Hmmm, looking at my original thread and I both want to reiterate and reassure on one thing.. I have never DMed a D20 game before. I have been a Storyteller in White Wolf Games, a DM in a Rolemaster Campaign, done some Neverwinter Nights DM-ing and done TP concepts and implementation in MUSHes...

    Midnight Players Wanted near Cape Cod Massachusetts.

    Dang. Well, we're off by 20 years. Didn't know we had dwarves in this neck of the woods... ;) Seriously, too bad. I hope to get a few responses here, since by and large this group seems to be pretty mature and reasonable... for a group of people who play fantasy games primarily in their...

    Wizards and "creating" new spells. (Idea for spicing up spell lists)

    I thought about the 'weakening' aspect beforehand. There are a couple of possible 'fixes' built into the system: 1. Only wizards use this method of handling spells, and therefore they're the only ones who can 'create' them. This forces the other classes to have only the spells commonly...

    Midnight Players Wanted near Cape Cod Massachusetts.

    Sir Osis, While I said that the time was probably optional, the day of the week is unlikely to be, especially once the NFL season starts in a couple of months (Sundays will be out). Weeknights are unlikely too just because I'm never sure if I'll be 'awake' enough to do such activity in the...

    Midnight Players Wanted near Cape Cod Massachusetts.

    Greetings! I've posted a few times so far, done a few reviews and given a few opinions. This is all rather cheeky for someone who hasn't actually run or played in a D20 game (except for a few online Neverwinter Nights sessions) before. So.. I have one fella near me who I can probably drag...

    Wizards and "creating" new spells. (Idea for spicing up spell lists)

    The title probably sucks for this thread since I didn't know how to summarize the idea. Let me start by saying I had this idea while comparing how a scientist learns how to be a better scientist, or a computer programmer learns how to be a better programmer. Each can only learn so much by...

    Midnight: First Impressions of Campaign Book

    Ah ha! Thanks, that makes sense then. Sorry if my comments came off too strong, this is what happens when one thinks they know more than they really do about a fantasy world they didn't create. Hey.. any chance of getting a version of the character sheet PDF in color (at least the logo)?

    Midnight: First Impressions of Campaign Book

    Suggestions for character sheet Hmmm... Couple of suggestions if y'all feel like changing the character sheet... It's nice enough certainly. Well, first.. One question. Why have the Spells Per Day and Bonus Spells columns on the back (lower right) if characters aren't limited except by...

    Yay, yay, YAY!!! :) Thank you for listening to your customers FFG (or anticipating their desires if you'd already planned both - especially the map).

    Midnight: First Impressions of Campaign Book

    Thanks for the picking up of the Martin wondering and running with it. It's been awhile since I read the first two books in the series and I've held off on the last one so far (I kind of want to get at least two new ones to read at once since I rarely remember what happens in a previous book...

    Midnight: First Impressions of Campaign Book

    Just put the first Enworld review up. ;) Also, one other thing is I think at least a small inspiration came from George R.R. Martin's "The Game of Thrones" series... Anyone wanna comment on that? ;)
