    d20 Dark*Matter: ongoing review

    Where did you get "first page" from? My book has a complete character sheet, and nothing afterwards. Sketchpad, glad I could help. Urizen... you serious? It's just an RPG book, for crying out loud. You sure it's not some sort of prank?

    I am certain. My book ends at the character sheet.

    d20 Dark*Matter: ongoing review

    No, my d20 Modern core book has no index. If an index appeared in other books, then perhaps mine is a printing error. I don't own Urban Arcana. I'll get to the magic question once I find my book again. There are Vancian spells and psionic powers as per the standard d20 Modern FX rules. I...

    Good Military/Hard Sci-Fi RPG?

    Ranger REG, starfighter battles in the Star Wars trilogy were based off of World War I / II dogfights. Grid-based combat fits them to a T. However, starship battles in a setting more founded in realism ought to be more like you suggest: relativistic (the Grapple check idea is a pretty good...

    d20 Dark*Matter: ongoing review

    With all the critters already at our disposal, I'll never need a Menace Manual II (heck, I haven't even needed the original Menace Manual). Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

    Good Military/Hard Sci-Fi RPG?

    Another difference between SWd20 and d20 Future are the starship size categories. In d20 Future, starships use the same scale as characters (and thus, starships only have three categories: Huge, Gargantuan, and Colossal). In SWd20, starships have their own size scale from Fine to Colossal. A...

    d20 Dark*Matter: ongoing review

    Only the Winter Demon supplied with the Exit 23 adventure is "new" (only to d20, though, as this same creature appeared in the Alternity version of the adventure). The book refers to a lot of "xenomorphs" (read: monsters) in the d20 Menace Manual. Aside from the abovementioned Winter Demon, no...

    I preordered it. No word as to whether it's available on store shelves yet.

    d20 Dark*Matter: ongoing review

    Major Details The book is hardcover, 159 pages including index(!) and the recommended reading/viewing page. The cover art is slightly raised and textured, giving the book a very unique and strange feel when held. Wolfgang Baur and Monte Cook are still the two authors credited in the cover...

    d20 Dark*Matter Street Date

    d20 Dark*Matter is now sitting contently on my lap (and I think I hear it purring... at least, that unholy chorus of a thousand tortured souls sounds a little like purring). I might start a thread listing my impressions, perhaps a review... but so far, I likes what I sees.

    d20 Dark*Matter Street Date

    My preorder just shipped; looks like I beat the street date by a good margin.

    Team Fortress 2! Huzzah!

    If you go back to TF's Quake origins... well, it never was a game that took itself too seriously. Compared to the TF2 screenshots posted by PC Gamer years ago, when this was supposed to hotly follow the release of the original Half-Life... this is a step in the right direction. Rocket-jumping...

    D20 Future Question - Psitech?

    True, but the items pictured are the crystal pistol and the screaming amulet, two psionic wondrous items from the core book. They're definitely not officially described as Psi-tech nor do they resemble psi-tech equipment or gadgets from d20 Future Tech. There's actually quite a few misleading...

    OGC declaration

    Technically speaking, a copy of the full OGL (including the S15 entry for the class itself) must accompany the class. However, you could get around it by hosting the OGL on a webpage, and including a link in the PrC document to the OGL. If you have several items available for download, you...

    Third Bullet Points article this month.

    The answer to the Ammunition Parts question was really insightful.
