    D20 future starship combat, tweeks and improvements

    Hmm, I see what you mean. I don't mind that it would be a battle game as you said, as these situations would be sparse, and although RPing is still the center of my games I see no problem with the ocassional variation such as this. After all is something the characters might do. If they want to...

    D20 future starship combat, tweeks and improvements

    I agree with that. All sounds just how Id like it. But this is where the grid fails. How do you rotate in degrees that a grid does't allow? Posibly even more pressing is how would fixed weapons (eg the afore mentioned ion cannon) fire at diagonal targets, or even ones just to the side of their...

    D20 future starship combat, tweeks and improvements

    I guess the faceing issue depends partly on how quickly you imagine these ships to be moveing and whether you take acount of the fact that you wouldn't simply stop. If capital ships are meant to be fairly cumbersome then haveing it rapidly doing 180 spins each turn to fire at various targets...

    Need Svirfneblin/Kobold names.

    I don't know why but I've got a habit of nameing just about every critter my players come across, it's actully quite a shame when they get slaughterd :\ . Just to throw out some random gook words, how about... Sekas Set Kix Betak Taskat Rethis Mosa Dremu Gethen Mavasu Skess Skessan Attiv...

    D20 future starship combat, tweeks and improvements

    I recently got the D20 modern and future books, their ok overall. There are somethings I wouldn't have been able to work out my self, and other bits I just had to tinker with. One of the bits that just didn't quite cut it for me was the starship combat, as I was warned it might. Im wondering...

    Ship to ship

    Im going to use cardboard hand drawn cutouts. I always wanted some micro machines when I was younger, oh well. At least useing my own drawings lets me see the ships as they should look.

    Beanstalks

    Id never considerd them, to me they sound like a rather imposible structure but I don't know quite how you imagine them to be. Other than on low grav worlds they just seem too heavy, plus working like a giant lever, it would only take the slightest nudge to tople them, uless their foundations...

    Armor as Defense and DR

    That sounds interesting, I pondered about working on something like that once, but it just seemed to tricky. It would be cool to see a well working system though. For D&D Ive just kept it as the books, not wanting to convert a campain in progress. But in my future game I will be starting soon...

    Question on the proper use of polymorph

    I think I remember that a dragons alternate form doesn't effect hitpoints. Best way is to check the back of the mon man. Ive had this confuseion too, another example is when applying the vamp template.

    1001 worst character types

    The guest player in short one session games. Barry: (looking though equipment) "cool, I forgot about the sack!" Me: Waiting to hear what hes thinking Barry: "The zombies had balls right?" :( I had no desire no run even a one session game, with a corpse eating, zombie-balls-in-a-sack wielding...

    The Barony of Midwood (Praemal)

    Ive been to Middlesborough, and I never saw any barrons or dragon Inns. Bah! your makeing all of this up aren't you! :D I like it. I've never writen out my NPCs in that much detail before, but I'd still say im quite new really. Wish I could think of something to add.

    Swear At & Insult Your Players

    Your good for nothing but helping plants grow. (think fertiliser) Do you realy have to fight? couldn't you just lie down and skip past the hassle? A favourite of mine from a computer game for after youv'e defeated someone, "If it hurts it means your still alive" And how about chinese style...

    Seeking weapons.

    (I appolgise for the vagueness, I don't have my books at the moment.) A mundane question. Recently while thinking about a magical thrown weapon, I realised that I have never used the seeking ability for magical ranged weapons, and don't fully understand it. The weapon Im considering is a...

    Where you at? Add yourself to the EN World map

    This isn't being used as a hit list for assassins is it? I better keep a look out. :uhoh:

    The history of your world

    I like to detail my worlds, so far in my current campaign it’s just the local areas history, I haven’t gone into much global or over all detail. If you like to detail your world and fill in history and such and would like to show the players, I say the best way is to let/make them discover it in...

    Magical Weapons:30% Light Generation - How often does it come up for you?

    As a DM I don't use this rule, items glow as I want them to if it seems apropriate. If I did use the rule, I think that the 20-40 brightness is a bit much for most, and that candle glow should be right for lower level weps. More powerful weapons or light themed (eg, some pelor mace, etc) ones...

    Imagine, no Battlemat...

    I've never actually done a game with out some form of grid for combats. I use A1-A3 sized 2cm squared paper rather than buying the other expensive grids. It means you can sketch up anything on the go, rub out that bush that just got roasted, and draw things as events go on. I also like to give...

    I've got something cool that I want critiqued by the Enworld populace

    Neat race. hmm... Im not so sure about the attack roll part of that, being skiny doesn't make it any easier to hit some one. Even the AC im not so sure about, despite being thin a large target is a large target, at least in melee, probably ok for ranged. But then that makes me think of...

    Lightsaber wannabe

    Removeing the 'force' part simplifies things nicely. This weapon would go nicely with a 'force/energy' sheild I thought of. It sounds about ok, dont just rely on my opinion though.

    First time in the modern world.

    Ok, a suplement, I thought it was but had to check. What kind of quirks? Thanks for the speedy reply, this place is great. :)
