Recently discovered the website "infiltration.org". Some fascinating ideas for d20 Modern...in fact, this website got me back into d20 Modern after a brief hiatus. I'm interested in hearing what you guys think, especially about this section: http://www.infiltration.org/hotels-ryork.html...

You're assuming, of course, that serial television shows and RPG campaign settings are somehow parallel products, and that what is true of one (TV) is by default true of the other (RPG). Nonsense. If Scarred Lands had been popular, it would still be in print. End of discussion.

The horrible grammar and spelling alone on the WotC message boards makes my head spin. It's like a special forum for the severely autistic or something. :confused:

Why does it need to be "back in print"? Just buy all the 2e stuff and use it. I have over 20 Planescape books, including the boxed set. All can be had on ebay or perhaps a FLGS. Sheeeesh, you consumer-types. ;)

[shrug] Give it a breath weapon?

I believe there was a web enhancement on the d20 Modern forum at WotC's site. Can't be more specific, but if memory serves it was a d20 Menace Manual enhancement, free download.

Oh, I agree completely. I'm just saying that personally I hate PDFs. But I'm not suggesting WotC should start losing money on D20 Modern print adventures. ;)

Okay, here's what I mean. If you don't know how this works: http://www.legend.org.uk/~acovell/the_pits/the_pits_images/adges_photographs/power_generator_house2.jpg ...then you can't run d20 Modern. At least not with a power generator in it. The power generator thing is just an example...

I thought that rather than thread-jack I'd start a new thread. The quote above illustrates perfectly my frustrations with trying to run a D20 Modern game. In D&D the technology is all either (a) medieval or (b) magic, so explaining how things work is easy. In Modern, you potentially run into...

My problem is that I hate PDFs. I don't care that some people proclaim them as the Next Big Thing (TM), I hate them. I want a book that I can flip through and highlight and read on the can. I hate PDFs, hate the thought of paying money just to print something out and stick it in a binder, and...

I bet you get uptight when people say "data" intead of "datum", right? Come on, chill out. Language changes and evolves. Personally, I'm far more pissed off over the rampant spelling errors on webforums than I am over grammar. But that's a whole different thread...

There are people who will say that biology is not a "real" science, that the only "real" sciences are physics and perhaps cosmology. I don't agree, mind you, but I've heard this before from physics-heads. ;)

This is what I had suspected, that a large part of the appeal of poker was in betting "real" money rather than just chips. :)

Uh...thanks.

That's what I'm asking about. Is the gambling the fun part of poker? Or is the game just fun all by itself, with or without gambling? For example, it might be fun to play chess for money (as many do), and might be fun to bet $100.00 on the outcome of a chess game, but chess is a fun game with...

Back in the day, 1981, to be exact, there was this cool board game called SUPERIORITY. You can read about it here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/viewitem.php3?gameid=3680 Now although this game was, in retrospect, rather mediocre (it was kind of a sophisticated version of BATTLESHIP), I...

My dad used to say, "There are card games, and then there is poker." What he meant by this I do not know, except perhaps that poker is somehow in a league of its own. My dad was a long-time recreational gambler, and never played cards for fun. Lately I've been curious about a number of games...

Well, it's not exactly a big secret that D&D was originally conceived as a supplement to Chainmail, a fantasy miniatures wargame.
