Well here is some crunch to go along with all my ramblings. A starting fighter will only get 2 class powers at level 1. There are probably some question that might come up as you read this. I'll explain as best I can and will go into further detail as this thing grows. (copy and pasted from...

Horse or peon. Honestly this looks like a big list of 'essentials' and considering I can't just toss everything into the back of a pick up truck I'd love to have someone else carry all my sh...stuff.

OK so to get the ball rolling I will dive into Classes and some of the big changes I am tossing around in my head atm. Classes in DnD, or any classed based system for that matter, are the most important aspect for players. Because they determine how PCs are going to fundamentally interact...

Indeed I have done all of the above plus more! Thanks for the comment. Hopefully it you will be entertained by this project as much as I am.

Hey everyone! This is going to be a thread for me to post everything I work on for my OGL system that has the working title Basic 20 or B20. It is a design experiment meant to re-create the "DnD experience" in less than 50 pages. The ideas presented here are based off the SRD and everything I...

Avatar: The Last Airbender. All I could think of while watching the show was. "Man! This plays out just like a DnD campaign." You've got your 4-5 people in a party. They become more powerful over time. They face off against an evil empire and lots of faceless goons. Perfect.

Not a problem. I even resurrected the thread so that its easy to find too.

By the Power of Greyskull! Revive! Here is a random doodle maybe someone can make use of it.

You could try looking for art that has been placed on the internet via creative commons licenses. I know Storn, who has art in the Media Lounge, uses this for a lot of his art. You could also put in a request on the Art request thread, also in the media lounge. I am one of the artists their and...

Maybe it's all in the name. Fighters gotta fight. They are pretty one dimensional in this regard. In earlier iterations of DnD they were the "simple" class to play. Enemy? Smash!; Door? Smash! Flying Thing? Shoot it full of arrows, toss hammers/axes/javelins at it; whatever. The problem, at...

Nope I guess not. I find I should at least ease it into conversations instead of jumping straight into the pitfalls of linear fighters and quadratic wizards. Being a gamer does seem to show up in some odd situations though. I was at guys house for a party one time and he was playing Skyrim and...

I'd say fighters are usually spot on in whatever edition of dnd you are playing. Wizards need to magical, I like wizards with their nifty "win" button magic, but it is annoying, esp in 3.x that a wizard's low level spells get better and they get higher level spells which then also get better...

Not at all ashamed. I find being a gamer rarely comes up in conversations though. Even though I work in a very blue collar environment the majority of my coworkers are geeky in someway. Video games seems to be the biggest area for geekiness but films and TV seem to be the other area where...

Considering that you can buy and sell pretty much anything used. I mean if I can get used books, cars, homes, furniture, clothes, musical instruments or nearly any other item under the sun! Why is it that game publishers feel a need to be excluded from this reality. Once I pay money for...

I think a problem with this line of thinking is the assumption that non-casters = no magic. For every spell that a caster slings their is probably a magic item that counters it or goes around it. For years I derided the "walking equipment rack" fighter that I feel typifies 3e dnd at higher...

I feel it should have been fighter, mage, thief and cleric. With variant feats or something to give the flavor of the other classes. Because seriously these are pretty much the only core classes everything else is just a spinoff from them.

Viktyr Korimir True but could they articulate it to the group?

Int and Wis are areas where I like to make judicious use of skill checks. If the characters ask what do I know about (whatever) make a check and viola answers. OR if a character is about to do something foolish, but have a high Wis then I just have them make a roll and maybe politely ask them...

I've never played MMOs before so I wasn't sure what to expect going into this. But I am a big fan of Bioware so decided to give it a go. I'd say the game is about 3.5 out of 5 for me. The story is what really keeps me moving forward in the game. The voice acting and the lore are great. For me...

I'm neutral. I tinker enough with the OGL that I have no problem amusing myself for years at a time. 4e had some really solid ideas, especially monsters, that made it really easy to prep and as the DM I loved that. As a tinkerer though 4e wasn't for me. Its mechanics were so well defined...
