One Week - from the song of the same name by the Barenaked Ladies Its been one week since you played with me Rolled your die to one side and said "That’s crazy" Five days since you yelled at me saying "When you house rule that, come back and see me" Three days since the gaming room I realized...

You can't do that. You've just completely replaced the Tumble skill with a feat. Jack

Hi Folks, I'd like to get some opinions on the WoL I've designed for one of my players. It's currently called Shaftsplitter and is a +1 Adamantine Great Axe. It's been passed down through the player's clan (he's a dwarf) for many generations. Recently the celtic knotwork engraved on it have...

Ok... Glass Hill sits upon a large deposit of iron ore or because this is D&D, a large forgotten tomb forged out of iron. The tomb was covered ages ago by silt and sand that washed down from the mountains and built up atop the mound due the winds in the area. The tomb tends to act like a...

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS. I'VE PUT THE THREAD IN "D&D RULES" WHERE I SHOULD HAVE POSTED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. MODS PLEASE DELETE THIS IF YOU CAN. Hi Folks, I'd like to get som opinions on the WoL I've designed for one of my players. It's currently called Shaftsplitter and is a +1...

Well... Keeping to D&D then: The Core three Libris Mortis Draconomicon EPH Complete Adventurer Outside D&D: Mekton Zeta Mekton Zeta Plus Mutants and Masterminds 2 D20 Modern Darwin's World 2 Talislanta Cyberpunk 2020 Jack

I can't comment. I still don't know what the thing is about. Everything I've read about it has been too sketchy. I'll probably wait for the reviews on this one. Jack

Before I comment I want to preface this by saying that I've been in Marketing for a dozen odd years. However this is just my own perception and I do not have any direct experience in the gaming industry. (In fact a large chunk of my knowledge is in the "other" gaming industry). Now, almost...

Mostly, I just go with the usual Identify spell method. Scrolls are obviously via Read Magic and use the "all potions of the same type smell and taste the same" ruling for potions. Otherwise the party carries the dang things around the whole adventure when they could have seriously used them...

Also, Look at anything done by Hero Games. Hero is all hex based. Jack

I would be on this in a heartbeat. In fact it doesn't need to be D20, it just needs to be a rules system that WORKS! I don't care about the balance issue because quite frankly it's a misnomer in Rifts. A Glitterboy is really impressive until you need to sneak into Chi-Town. Heck, I've been...

Also, Download the Age of Worms Overload PDF from Paizo. This is all the stuff they couldn't fit into the magazine. It gives lots more to work with. Jack

I'm assuming a Fighter character, So I'd go with a weapon and shield combo. Probably a mace, morningstar or flail for the weapon. Obviously the shield would be a Lion Shield once the character can afford one. Jack

Thanks folks, That was pretty much what I expected, just a cash grab for Palladium. Just as a funny note, Kevin S. was once asked how a certain rule worked. After he explained how it worked he went on to say "but in my game I've house rules it to work this way". Yes even Mr. Siembieda can't...

Lets see, M&M's Think Tank Mongoose's Forums Paizo's boards Fiery Dragon's boards (on the rare occasion their is any traffic, yes James I'm calling you out ;) and The Toronto Role Players Association forums None of these are all that regular though. Am I the only one astonished by the fact...

Dieties & Demigods. I'd really like to see this redone as a book for players on how the churches and faiths function. More of a PC perspective book than a Fight Club for Gods book. I doubt it will ever happen though. Jack

Mage was one of the big releases that I didn't even see a COPY of, it sold so fast. I went this year with really only M&M 2.0 on my scopes and not thinking any other real big releases were going to be there. Oops. Besides the rush for M&M; Shadowrun 4.0, Serenity, Mage, and Axis & Allies Minis...

Well, I know you can add Hero Games to the list. Kevin Long told me there were expecting to get a wack of Pulp HERO and they only received three. Not sure if this was the same printer but he was telling my friend and I that the printer in question had several of the attendees as clients and a...

Back in the day, I was a huge Rifts nut. I owned every book up to, and including, the first few Coaltion Wars volumes. Like most fans I loved the setting and thought it was a great place for having adventures. Like most sane fans I realized the rules were lack luster and generally disfunctional...

As I recall, That is incorrect. Speak with Dead does NOT actually deal with the soul/spirit of the departed and is in fact directed at the remains of the deceased. I can't recall if that was stated in the PHB or CD or possibly Libris Mortis. But I'm certain I read it somewhere. Damn now I'm...
