They do? Wow. Not in my games they don't, regardless of system. I really ought to read the rules more :) We roll once at the start of combat. As DM, I roll for each monster. Sometimes I just make one roll for them all, or split them into groups. Depends on how complex the critters are, really...

....and the Dragonclaw Barony now has it's own page in the Macropedia. I love working at the speed of wiki :) Comments welcome, as ever. Thanks again, Darrell.

....and it's available for immediate download, here (321k .pdf). Info page on the Macropedia will be forthcoming shortly, but this is too darned good to hold back. Darrell, I've skim read it (yes, I do read that fast :) ), and it's perfect for what we need - lots of fluff, low crunch and just...

To pull others into the discussion; I added this Comment to yours on the thread about the CoreRulesRevised in the Macropedia:

Funnily, I though of you when I wrote that :) Geeks together, eh?! In other news: I've given Microlite20 an optional Simplified XP System after one of my group wanted to see how he could remove CR/EL from D&D. I seemed a good fit for M20 as well for peeps who want something a little more...

CR/EL is badly broken, but I still use it as a rough guideline when planning encounters. OK, that's a lie. I look at the creature's stats and abilities, weigh them up against my character's abilities, then look at the CR to see if it's remotely accurate. Sometimes it is, but usually it isn't...

I kinda agree with both of you. Kinda. I felt that if I'd left TWF out, too many people would have asked for them. So, I stuck them in and it gives a nice power-boost to Fighter and Rogues. For the sake of a few extra lines of text, I felt it was worth the inclusion. In a similar vein, here's...

I've had (I think) 4 TPKs in all my years of GM'ing. For my first, I handed the players the stats for the monsters and continued the game. They had a blast making it out of the dungeon and attacking the town before being wiped out by angry peasants :) That was OD&D. The second was a superhero...

Kensanata, thanks for updating the Macropedia :) Good work. Ry, just remember that art is never perfect. If it was, it wouldn't be art! Good scenario, btw. You'd need experienced players to be able to handle it.

The theory behind it was to simulate the most likely feats that a light-weapon wielding Fighter or Rogue would take - Weapon Finesse and Two-Weapon Fighting. I wanted to reflect a Fighter's proficiency and a Rogue's skill with light weapons. As it stands, a Mage or Cleric can use any weapon at...

UPDATE: the server is a happy bunny again, so I've uploaded Rank20 .pdf and .rtf and put the download links on the Summary of lite systems page. Enjoy.

I will with pleasure - as soon as the admins fix the server AGAIN. It's down to zero diskspace again, most likely thanks to a runaway script on there. I've told them to delete my apache logfiles too as they're taking up 3Gb of space and go back to Feb2004. I suspect other users' logfiles are...

Odd, in that case. Kensanata's Mac should be able to handle that just fine, even without the embedding. Ah well. I'll pass Rank20 onto a few of my group and ask them to playtest it. Feeback will be forthcoming. And Pilsnerquest, if we have a coastline there's sand there. Would beach nomads...

While I prefer to use good ol' pen and paper (I use a computer too much as it is!), I've relented a few times and used the laptop to DM. They are strictly banned for my players though as they're just too darned distracting. I run Linux, and have the sovelior sage SRD and pcgen in place to...

Ry, it sounds like you need to embed the fonts in the pdf. That'll bump up the size, but will look fine to everyone. Looks good to me (both layout-wise and content-wise) on my Linux system :)

eyebeams, thanks for editing the wiki, much appreciated. Quick20 is right at the top of my to-buy list. I'm itching to see how you've managed what Microlite20 is merely aspiring to be - a fast, lite d20 system without all the baggage of core D&D slowing it down. Long may you continue! Here in...

Darrell: Sounds (and looks) great so far! Rycanada: Definitely. I'm going to think hard about how to differentiate the two using boxed text, a differnet font, or whatever. We need to be clear which is which. Given a choice I'd make it all CC, but as we're already using OGL for the rules, then...

It will if someone makes one and I like it :) My gut says I'd prefer a locale with a coastline, some islands and the landmass continuing off to two or three edges of the map in an inviting "where does this go?" kinda way. That's why I like The Scarlet Sea as it's spot on in that regards. And...

I've put a Summary of Lite Systems up on the Macropedia. It's up now, btw - the server aparently ran out of diskspace because another user ran a wayward script. Fixed now though, the admins say. I've literally just copy-and-pasted Pilsnerquest's text into the page, so if you're responsible for...

Oddly enough I'm shifting my brain into gear to come up with a full, fluff contained pdf with an intro, examples, details, etc. Stay tuned on this one. If anyone wants to contribute, I'll be posting the text in the Macropedia over the next few weeks. Feel free to correct and clarify where you...
