    Cthulhu d20 -- Is it worth it?

    I've been looking at this book since it came out, and part of me really wants it, but part of me feels that d20 isn't right for CoC. So here's your chance, folks -- convince me. Tell me why you like it, love it... above all else, tell me why I should shell out my hard-earned cash and get it.

    [OT] Need help with Adventure!, er, adventure

    I've been looking at running a game of Adventure! for a small group of fellow gamers I know that are outside of my normal group. I'm trying to leave a good impression in case any potential recruitment options arise... the problem is, I'm stuck for a plot idea! I'm dying to run Adventure!, and I...

    Getting psyched for new games?

    So, who out there is getting psyched for some of the great-sounding new things coming our way soon? We've already got Dragonstar, which looks like a TON of fun (I need to get that soon), we've got D20 Cthulhu soon, Spycraft should be in the next week or two, and Godlike looks freakin amazing...

    Looking for a PrC class...

    I know this is going to sound really vague, but I remember reading about a prestige class before (I think I read it on this site) where one of the pre-reqs was that you had to die... can anyone remember which one this is? Thanks a ton if you can...

    Forgotten Realms question concerning Shadow Weave Magic

    Has anyone out there made up any rules for the effects of mixing Weave magic and Shadow Weave magic? In the Return of the Archwizards novels, the mixing of the two magics is very messy, but there are no rules whatsoever in the Forgotten Realms game books. Has anyone written anything to...

    Star Wars D20 New Jedi Order Sourcebook -- Any good?

    I guess I should have mentioned this fact in the first place... I doubt I'll be running/playing a NJO game anytime soon. To be honest, I'm more of a West End Star Wars kinda guy. I'm more or less interested in the NJO sourcebook as a companion to the novels, which I greatly enjoy. So how does...

    Another ?: CR and EL

    Yesterday I asked about CR and ECL and how they're comparable, today I'll ask the same about CR and EL. And, since my original text works here, I'm just gonna cut and paste to save typing... Okay, can someone please clear this up for me? I'm completely lost on these two concepts and just how...

    ECL and CR

    Okay, can someone please clear this up for me? I'm completely lost on these two concepts and just how they differ... what is each one to cover? Why do we need them both? Is there a way to convert from one to the other, and if so, what is it? Any and all insights that anyone has on this...

    Spell component costs? Please assist

    I was just reading the Book of Eldritch Might II, and I was thinking... the sorceror spends an amount of XP equal to 1/25 the cost of the components, right? Well, how much are most components? I remember seeing a chart with component prices in one of my friend's second edition books, but I...

    Opinions of Hollowfaust: City of Necromancers?

    I was wondering if anyone could tell me about Hollowfaust... is it worth it, what's it cover, etc, etc? I'm thinking about including a necromancer city in my Forgotten Realms game, and if Hollowfaust is any good, it would save me a ton of work. Thanks in advance.

    Need a hand with character concept

    In a few days, I'm going to start playing in a new campaign under one of my friends. It's going to start off in the Forgotten Realms, but it will soon shift over to Ravenloft. He has us starting out as 0-level common folk, and we will build our characters from there. I have what I want to...

    Uber-nasty kobold tactics?

    Most of the time, I feel I'm a pretty darn good DM. However, when it comes to kobolds, I'm never quite sure how to run the little buggers. Can anyone give me any advice on how to properly use these little critters, focusing in especially on how to f**k with 15th level characters with them?

    [OT] Godlike?

    What can anyone here tell me about this game? Over on the RPG.NET forums, everyone seems really freaking pumped for it, but I can't get an idea of what it's supposed to be like or about or anything. Anyone here got any info?

    Why the hatred towards FRCS?

    Having cake and eating it too You know, I've watched this debate go back and forth for like forever now... and what it boils down to is this: in my personal opinion, the Realms book is, bar none, the best bang for your d20 buck at this time. Yes, the book is insanely detailed, and that's why I...
