    dungeons and dragons: Heroes ?

    Thanks for the info. Funny thing is, last night I had a dream about being one of six winners of an XBox through some contest I really did enter in real life. :D On the issue of NWN, I have been waiting for it, but I don't think my computer can handle it. I have an AMD K-6 2 400, 128MB SDRAM...

    Gaming and fantasy

    Her is my take as of late: Geoffrey posted a XP table based off Star Frontiers. It was very simple like every player can gets 2 pt per session/adventure/level/whateveryouwanttogiveXPfor. If you do something overly heroic, you get three, if you are a bump on a log you just get one. here it is...

    D&D for very young kids

    Here is my dilema with the "Basic" version. I pretty much have scaled back version of the 3e core rules done. It mostly was just a matter of omitting options such as feats, spells, equipment. But it didn't seem to be simple enough. So I started experimenting with another variant, which made...

    dungeons and dragons: Heroes ?

    While we are on the subject, anyone know of a good site to compare PS2 with XBox? Here is my situation: I know about nothing about console games, as I have been out of the loop since Super Nintendo. :eek: I am looking to get one soon, and have decided it to either by the XBox or PS2. This is...

    After Dinner Encounters

    I will look forward to it. You got it right though. Let his mind go and just put it into game terms. Plus you are doing a great service to him by keeping a log of these. I wish I had a log of all my first adventures as a young one. :D My daughter likes the combo of LOTR, Harry Potter, and...

    SHARK To Be Published!

    SHARK, Conrats my friend. You really deserve it. I would love to see a VECS see print. I hope this doesn't interfere with your run for President in 2004. :D

    [OT] Hurting. (I warn you, this is *very* OT

    Kyle, as a long time member of this community, I want to say never worry about posting things like this. We are friends, even though we don't see each other face to face. We are for here for each other. Anyway, I am, unfortunitly, not able to give advice. I work in a job where I deal with...

    After Dinner Encounters

    This truley is a breath of fresh air. It almost reads like a young adult fantasy novel. Most of us jaded and cynical old koots would have tried to attack the Kuo-Toa on sight. The young mind decided to try to make a friend. THAT is truely something you see in fantasy and fairy tales of yore...

    Wild thought about Hit Points

    "The only solution to hit points is not to think about them. " That is the only way I am going to be able to cope. :) Hong, mind if I borrow that for my sig?

    D&D for very young kids

    There was one thing I forgot to mention, and maybe someone can help me out. There was a card game somebody brought up on the old boards maybe over a year ago and I don't remember the name of it. I was going to order it, but can't find it anywhere and must not have saved the link. It was a...

    Skill based magic system

    Sable Wyvern, I think you just singlehandedly created the magic system for 4th edition D&D. :D Actually this is a great start. I am busy today, but will think about applying the concept later this evening.

    Anyone play Basic anymore? (and other questions)

    GWolf, you might want to check out this thread: Who still plays Basic D&D? Everyone touch on the technical stuff, so I will pass. The feel of basic is a great rules lite feeling. No need to bog yourself down with lots of extra codification. Character creation takes me no more than 5 minutes...

    Skill based magic system

    Sable Wyvern, that is a great idea. I never played RM. I didn't know it worked like that. That is just the premise for magic I want to use.

    D&D for very young kids

    Here are a couple of suggestions, from one who has been there. Rules, depending on the maturity and intelligence of the kid, they may or may not get even the basics at 5 or 6 years old, no less adding 1.5x you STR bonus and that if you BAB is +1 or better you can draw your sword while moving...

    Action-less combat

    [/b] Got it. I agree that the -5 makes the most sense now. [/b] I agree. That is why if they fail the first "action thing" that has a -5 penalty, they don't continue. However that might cramp the style you are trying to achive. [/b] Spells do cause the most "thought" to make this work. I...

    LOW FANTASY/HIGH GRIT RULES, or, D&D meets Call of Cthulhu d20!
