    Ronin Arts' "Fire -- Not a Sale -- Sale"

    By any chance were fire ants involved in the destruction of said AC unit? :lol:

    [d20 Modern] Operating equipment: skill check?

    Any of the above with a -4 penalty.

    Traveller d20 Starship construction and combat system

    The Ship Construction and Combat System is independent of the Class systems, although I would recommend taking a good look at the skill list and map some of them onto the Modern classes. Yep, there are plenty of "Bridge Roles" to go around. With a well designed team of four to six characters...

    *Happy Dance* My Grim Tales & C&C are nearly here

    Well Wulf, sounds like a supplement in the making to me. The Grim Grimoire.

    Sidewinder: Do I need D20 Modern to run it?

    The only thing(s), and I do mean the only thing(s), missing from Sidewinder:Recoiled is just what was necessary to abide by the d20STL. Meaning: If you have played any d20 games any length of time you probably already know how to create 6 stats between the range of 3-18 and have access to an...

    Creative Exercise: The Sovereign Dominion of Eyros

    Prophecy of the Seventh Pillar Shortly after the founding of Empire the Mask Jal-guin fell into a semi-catatonic state (in which she still survives to this day) and began spouting prophetic statements. The longest enduring of these is the Prophecy of the Seventh Pillar, and a whole Monastic...

    Creative Exercise: The Sovereign Dominion of Eyros

    Because only a TRUE first-generation half-orc may ascend the Thone, the Noble families are very strict about the purity of their House lineages. There are 6 of these families, known collectively as "The Pillars". Three are Human, and Three are Orcish. The greatest political wrangling consists of...

    d20 Past art gallery up...

    Yes, GURPS Napoleon was released. Being a fan of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe's series, and Forrester's and Aubrey's works, I have been thinking about a Napoleonic supplement myself. But I'm only 1/5 of the DHR gang, so it may be a long time coming. IMO the key to a good Napoleonic setting would...

    How Would You Run A Western? (Magnificent Seven? Firefly?)

    *Ahem* Never mind me, gents. Just passin' through. ;) *walks away whistling*

    Is it wrong for a game to have an agenda?

    Ahhh but you see Crothian, if your game setting is designed to emulate the genre of literature that has as one of its fundamental tropes your agenda of social equality and acceptance of oozes -- along with conservation of mold-friendly environments and appreciation of fungi religious diversity...

    Bad Moon over California OOC

    Just on a quick glance: You missed one stat boost for level 8 Defense would be +18 (+3 for Dex not +4) Fort: +3 Ref: +9 Wil: +3 The Bonus Feat is the same for S:R as Modern so you got that right. Missing 2 Feats for Character Level Remington Double-Derringer has essentially the same stats...

    Bad Moon over California OOC

    Yep, the Basic Class Associations just represent the most effecient and fastest routes. It is entirely possible to get there with just 3 levels of Charismatic and the Idle Rich background, but you would still have to buy the Sleight of Hand skill as cross-class. So Cha3/Mav5 is perfectly doable.

    Bad Moon over California OOC

    Idle Rich Background: Choose 1 skill from the following as a class skill Gamble, Intimidate, Knowledge (Bus.,Civics, Curr.Event., Pop Culture) Operate Vehicle (air, ground, or watercraft) Ride, or a new Speak Lang. Rep.: +1 Wealth Bonus: +6 If you send me an email at tom at doghouserules dot...

    What's this about a plagiarized map in Conan: City of Shadizar?

    Well Dennis Kauth is listed as the cartographer in the Spellbound book where the original original map first appeared. I believe he was the principle staff cartographer for TSR at the time.

    Popular Pick?

    Or you could use "Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Ruby and Diamond" But I think it's too many levels. Stick to 50, 100, 250, and 500.

    Let's Talk Blue Rose

    I'm still of the opinion that Blue Rose could make a good engine for bringing Brust's Vlad Taltos series to RPG life.

    Bad Moon over California OOC

    Well now, maybe I can lend a hand to Synec for his character creation. Obviously the first 3 or 4 levels can be taken straight from the Modern book in a pinch. As to the AdC, for a Charismatic character there are 2 to chose from: The Grifter (prereq's Bluff 6, Diplomacy 6 Deceptive feat) or The...

    Turin Shroud Older Than Thought

    Not for me to say it's real or not real. But as for making a "burned" or "etched" photo-realistic negative image.... Let us postulate that someone is doing a "sand-casting" for a statue in two halves to be pinned or welded together. So we have two "sand box" molds. Said sand-boxes are sitting...
