    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    Correction: Rawley will share the info, liquor and tobacco with whomever wants it. ;) "Haskins!" Rawley calls as he reenters the tent. He pitches the pouch to the sergeant. "Take what you need."

    Cool! I'll have the first post up tonight.

    I think either one would be fine. The ranger/archer dude is a little weak in a straight on fight, but as I said (and especially if you two are the only ones playing) there'll be plenty of mooks to provide fodder. The only thing that swings my vote to the archer dude is that I built an...

    d20 Modern vs. Grim Tales: which is better?

    The only resistance I've had to running GT are players that want D&D-like magic (as takryis said). As a toolkit, though, GT can't be beat. A true mathematical approach to weapon design, monster design, CR calc, etc. It puts all the control for the campaign in the GM's hands, including...

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    Sweet! My character was actually useful for a change... Rawley goes to make sure his horse is tended to. He'll share the information and liquor with whomever is awake in the party.

    I didn't understand it either. Sworddancer: Are you computer problems temporary? I'm going to start tonight, so we'll fold you in if you get that sorted out... All: I'll make a first post tonight. I need names for your characters, by the way... :)

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    "Here you go, Sarge," T. Rawley says, handing the Limey's tobacco pouch back. "I'm gonna try and find us some more." OOC: Rawley will rest and eat, and then try to chitchat with some of the rifleman. See if he can get some information out of them and buy/barter/swindle them out of some tobacco...

    Got it. Can't wait for that SRD...:|

    I know using it two-handed increases the damage by 1.5, yeah? Is there a GT rule that's different? (back at work, so no GT SRD makes me blind).

    Hmmm... why? His current build doesn't use a shield or TWF... Am I missing something (honestly...not being flippant)? Seems like it wouldn't affect his 'style' at all... Or do you mean that he could just use a greatsword to better effect?

    Okay. I was wondering if you did that, or just renamed the Cutlass in the Conan RPG (same stats, but it's an exotic weapon). So, you can use it two-handed as a martial weapon, or take an exotic weapon feat and use it one-handed. Is that an acceptable compromise?

    Japanese Style RPG's

    And d20... I second Sengoku if you're not tied to d20. The conversion to Action! is fairly straightforward and most of what you need is already converted for free on the Action! site. -- I have some of my own conversion stuff for Instant Action, if anyone's interested... It's the most...

    Fenris, Where did the Cidaris come from? Are there rules somewhere? Just not familiar with the weapon. Other than that, looks good.

    "Well," Rawley says, brightly, throwing a worried glance at the archway. "I sure could use a drink!" "Got anything stronger than river water back at that camp of yours?" he asks a nearby guard. OOC: He'll follow the group out.

    "Was that you or me, Montana?"

    I really like the Doctor (actor played wormtongue in lotr) and Calamity Jane (in season 1...season 2 she becomes a kind of parody of herself, imho). Season 2, the Sol Star/Trixie storyline is the one to watch, though there's a lot going on with all the characters... And I agree about the...

    [GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

    Rawley gets control of his mouth, drags the last bits of smoke out of his cigarette and pitches it to the floor. He edges toward the exit trying to catch the eyes of his companions.

    Fancy on-line HTML d20Modern SRD?

    I really wish someone with skillz could make a CHM (Windows Help) file of the d20 Modern SRD, like they did with the 3.5 SRD... Very very handy.

    T. Rawley's mouth hangs open, his cigarette dangling precariously from his lip.
