If I were to do a personal 3.75 instead of converting to 4e, I'd make the following changes: -Ditch iterative attacks, giving combat focussed classes a bonus to damage instead -Grant each class a level based bonus to AC -Use a single progression chart (similar to the 4e one) for all classes...

Hi All, I'd like to urge you to check out the vocabulary game at freerice.com - it doesn't take a lot of time, and learning lots of new words is good.

I'm interested in picking up some comics, but in the light of so many events taking place in both DC and Marvel's respective series, I'm at a loss of where to start. Can anyone make a suggestion of a good series to pick up that won't immediately send me to wikipedia? Thanks in advance, Tim

It would be really nice if it were form fillable - but I like the layout. If I were to not use Ema's sheets, I'd probably use that one.

Mutants and Masterminds.

In my opinion, the quality remains consistent throughout the series, with the exception of the stand-alone book told from Uther Pendragon's point of view. I prefer the later novels with Merlin narrating, as the conflict between the Senecas and the Brittani is given more attention than strictly...

That's a tough one - for RPG sources I'd suggest Green Ronin's Eternal Rome, or possibly GURPS Fantasy (the sample setting is, IIRC a Roman empire if magic had existed). For info on Britian, I'd suggest GURPS Celtic Myth (if you can find a copy). However, I would personally grab the series of...

I would advance the timeline by approximately 5,000 years during which the following changes take place: 1) A cataclysmic flood destroys much of what was, and many of the higher level NPC's are killed outright. 2) Re-organize the pantheons into a tighter knit, smaller group. Play up the...

It's really hilarious - and I choose.... Dancing.... Lights

The player's guide is the first chapter of the book, but this is an excellent suggestion.

Vagner's Ring Cycle would suggest that they share common roots at the very least.

Didn't OD&D have only one hit dice?

In order to become a (capital H) Hero, Beowulf MUST make a heroic boast. As Grendel had already killed several henchmen of Hrothgar, a single man claiming he could vanquish the beast without weapons or armor (haven't seen the movie, going from my rememberances of 2nd year english lit.) certainly...

My group bought me a colossal red dragon "mini" a few weeks before I had to move away for work. Boy was I itching to use that thing...

Does the caber get no love here?

I used the d20 stats for Cthulhu to end one of my 1-20 campaigns. (Although the PC's were level 25 when they fought Cthulhu, thanks to some divine intervention.) I think it would be perfectly acceptable to use the stats straight out of the book without updating to 3.5 standards. If anything...

Honestly, from what we've heard about 4e magic, I think it'd be fairly easy to convert the weaves to the appropriate 4e power level (tweaking damage dice, graduation of effects, etc). The trick comes in categorizing which ones are per day, per encounter, and at will, although to stay truer to...

According to the RAW, action points not spent in a given level are lost. I have given action points (or swashbuckling cards) as a reward on numerous occasions, and also give a fixed number of action points per session.

The other main issue with the WoT classes is that they can fill both the cleric niche and the wizard niche. Sure the healing converts lethal damage to subdual damage, and channelers cannot turn undead. But who needs to turn undead when you can fireball them into oblivion. If you do run them...

Unless they are extraordinaly well reviewed, I'm going to pass. My gaming dollars are limited enough that I can't afford to waste them on books that don't contain the game I desperately want to play (not playing right now unfortunately) Edit: I'm totally stoked for 4e though. It sounds like...
