    What super hero game is for me?

    OK I should have said "Easier, better and faster with the same level of complexity". I was also trying to suggest that while I understand that he has tried M&M I believed that adding the Ultimate Powers book would give him the complexity he was looking for. Now on an unrelated tangent, one...

    What super hero game is for me?

    Well, I'd say go back to M&M 2.0 and add the Ultimate Powers book. All the detail that Champions/HERO will give you but you'll be able to play a battle out in minutes not hours. The Ultimate Powers book is really how Powers should have been described in the main rulebook in the first place...

    D20 + Mekton Zeta Plus

    The biggest factor in my love of MZ+ is the scaling rules. It allows you to build everything from a handgun to the Deathstar and all function on the same rules system. D20 Future is a hodgepodge of seperate construction rules for everything. I think the Gadget system is very inovative but they...

    D&D mentioned in Australian paper

    Arg! I'm restricted by the rules of the forum from posting my full opinion because it would involve discussing religion AND politics. So I'll just say, what a poo poo head. Jack

    How would you fix the bodak/save-or-die

    Well, I can't speak to the Bodak specifically but I have never liked the "unfun" nature of save or die spells. I do however like the threat that they encourage. So in my own campaigns I made this simple change, if you fail a save against a death spell you're droppped to negative hitpoints equal...

    D&D Baseball

    OK, Here's how I see it. The pitcher is attempting to hit the catcher with a thrown weapon. The batter is providing cover to the catcher so if the pitcher misses his to-hit by 5 or less he strikes the batter. The batter has readied an action to use his deflect arrows feat (which works on thrown...

    Railroads (wooh! wooh!)

    Heh, I've run into this before. After about the third time they say "What do you do?" and you reply "I don't know, what do I do?" they start to get the point. Now that said I can understand what the GM is trying to do. But it works better in the phrase of a question ("Do you really think...

    It's a beautiful baby +2 Vorpal Sword!

    OK, Thank you for giving me ideas for the next Alienist character I create. Now I'm going to add something to this already disturbing thread. No one has suggested sentient magic items yet. It's one thing when your sword talks to you, it's quite another when it calls you "Dad". Thank you and...

    D20 + Mekton Zeta Plus

    Hello, Has anyone tried mating D20 Future with Mekton Zeta Plus? I used to use MZ+ to do all my homebrew SF stuff and I think it's a much better system for building future technology (especially starships) then what has been done so far with D20. Just curious to know if anyone has tried mashing...

    Want to try the Kobold

    Don't forget to look at the Races of the Dragon Web Enhancement. It adds a couple more things to bring the Kobold up to a +0 ECL equivelant race. Jack

    [Age of Worms] Rules/Options in Play

    We had a Kobold Ninja in our four party group for the first adventure. We'd all be dead with out him. Admittedly we used all the kobold rules from WotC's web enhancement so with Max ranks he had a Hide skill of +16 at 1st level. He also had the highest AC in the party and he wasn't wearing...

    Representing 3d movement with miniatures

    There's a chain of stores called Storage Solutions here in Toronto. They have all sorts of transparent storage boxes like the dice boxes and in a wider range of sizes. I would check out any of the "storage boutiques" in your area as I suspect they'll carry the same stuff. Jack
