Check out some of the alternate magic systems for Iron Heroes. http://ironheroesarcana.pbwiki.com/ I am partial to Jeremy Puckett's Magic System Fix. What I like about the design concepts behind Iron Heroes is that it is encounter based. Unfortunately this was not a design decision that...

I agree with Hussar. Don't use them. All the things you mention are optional. And if you have too many feats, play Iron Heroes. You'll run out fast.

For grit: Valus, if you can find a copy. No elves: http://www.talislanta.com/ I haven't played Talisantia, but lots of people have reccomended it. There's also conan as you observed. http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/home/series.php?qsSeries=7 (again never played) Watch out for some of the...

Perpetual outcast & sworn to protect those who hate him. Common hero archetype. Nothing wrong with it. But, as others have said, there is a point where one would expect the artist to build from that.

When I write the adventures the hard part for me is making sure the combat encounters are numerically where I want them so I don't have to fudge. So, no. On the other hand, I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy fiction. Maybe you could focus your energy there?

Well, on the surface it looks like a terrific way to handle plot situations when the players achieve something too easily or you find the game speeding along to the conclusion of the campaign all too fast. I wouldn't plan it out. I'd save it in case they outsmart you.

As an aside: when Jim Henson was drafting out the Dark Crystal movie, the gelflings were supposed to look less human than they did. But some research showed that people tend to want to have their heroes be attractive folks they can relate to. This may or may not be something to consider. As...

I pitched an article to Dragon based on this. I'm not sure I have it anymore or I'd post it. I went through the core rules cleric domains and tried to come up with a holiday for each one of them. Then I made sure to spread them accross the seasons so there weren't 10 holidays all around...

Question for the Judges: I've noticed that products nominated for "Best Writing" often contain a great deal of flavor text and 2-page short stories. How do you personally evaluate flavor text? How do you plan to evalute writing when applied to game mechanics? When evaluating writing, how...

I think this kind of campiagn is fine, but it really shines for a group that meets infrequently and has uneven attendance. The gate acts as a kind of "home base" and that way if the cleric can't make the next session, his character simply doesn't go through the gate that time.

It's a subtopic I like as well. One of the things I enjoy daydreaming about is where the line between sufficently powerful magic runs aground on the cold hard shores of natural science. For example, a wizard decides to create a minotaur. He's got the magic down solid and can certainly toss...

Arguably, they could get exp for a level of Aristocrat class.

Don't blame the playa', blame the game!

Rich made a comment that he took the Duelist PrC and basically swapped out INT for CHA.

I agree.

There's a couple of PnP computer interfaces that you can use to host a game over the internet. I personally found them clunky, but not as clunky as getting four 35 year old men in the same room at the same time.

Very good news. A miracle, even!

cross marketing/ cross use products The World of Warcraft card game that can potentially get you neat stuff in the MMORPG as an example.

I just wrote a review for a monster book http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=185172 It does not meet requirement #1. What it does do is present the monsters in an amazingly usable format. If that doesn't sound like a good sell, trust me, once you start using it, you'll wonder why all...
