I've always wanted to play both CoC and Unknown Armies, but spend far too much time GMing to do so...

While I appreciate the plot, I miss the funny...

Not too shabby, not too shabby at all.

You might enjoy Redhurst: Academy of Magic, the Village of Briarton, or Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil (seriously, Homlett is described in a fair amount of detail, and you should be able to get it pretty cheap).

Sorry, I wrote it up early in the morning... you are correct; that said, my intention was for casters to be able to hold a reasonable amount of mana, but not a full charge at any given time, especially since spell points allow a character to nova if they so desire.

Under the rules, as I've drafted them, a level 1 caster, regardless of stats, can hold at least 5 spell points plus their constitution modifier without having to make a concentration check (because if you can succeed no matter what, is there really a point in rolling), and a level 20 wizard with...

Recharge Magic + Spell Points Use recharge magic as written, except Gathering mana requires a concentration check (DC 10), and takes the appropriate amount of time to charge a spell slot. Gathering mana is a standard action. Rangers, Paladins...

Jurgen - you're making it harder and harder to resist the siren call of GURPS... does Changing Times contain all the info needed to run a Transhuman Space game?

Or you could play GURPS, and take the Quit Using X advantage... :p

There was a plan to revive it, but apparently it fell through... oh well.

If he wants to be an arcane archer, substitute 1 level of wizard for a rogue level, and multi into the prestige class around level 10. This will, however, greatly reduce the characters damage output.

If you want an archer to deal lots of damage and you are limited to the core rulebooks, try something like this (note: the only equipment this character has is a composite longbow) Male Elf(High) Rgr11/Rog9; CR 20; Medium Humanoid (Elf); HD 9d6+11d8+20; hp 26; Init +5; Spd 30 ft/x4; AC 15 (+5...

It took a long time to stat out monsters and such and make them at a reasonable level of difficulty for the type of creature they were, and after buying GURPS Bestiary only to discover that it contained very little in the way of traditional monsters, I kinda switched to D&D 3e. (Of course, for...

Mutants and Masterminds - the system runs nice and quickly, and if your players are already used to d20 games, they know how just about everything works already. (It is quite flexible in my experience)

I used to run GURPS 3rd - does the 4th edition reduce GM prep time at all? Also, as far as combat goes, is it easier to challenge the party without either a) killing them off or b) having an underwhelming villian? Finally, since there is no 4e Fantasy Folk, are any extra books needed to make up...

If the sorceror were to hire a rogue and a fighter, they could go through many lower level modules with a relative amount of ease.

Other fun Canadian place names: Conception Bay Spuzzum Come-by-Chance and... Dildo, Newfoundland (hopefully not Grandma unfriendly) While the map is nice, it does look an awful lot like Middle Earth/Randland/Faerun...

From what I remember, skill checks are roll under (low is good), reaction rolls are high is good, and damage rolls are high-is good. Your character looks fine once you correct the baseline to 10. When I used to play GURPS 3rd Edition, Revised, I found that having a high DX and IQ was well...

4e will be released when The Computer is ready to upgrade. Report to the disintegrator, citizen.
