    Post Apocalypse Travel From England to France then to Spain

    You shouldn't decide how the PCs make it to Spain, just keep in mind lots of the possible routes they might take and some modular encounters you can throw in their way. Half the fun of survivor horror is the complete lawlessness/ openess/ anything-can-happen-ness of it. If they take a boat...

    Good Superhero-Game?

    Yeah, 1e M&M got some criticism for it's lack of focus on skill-type characters, and fixes like this. "I don't want a guy who's good at all INT skills! I want a guy who builds robots! Just RObots!!" But that's gone the way of the dodo. Skillful characters are super easy to make. & b/c...

    DINO-PIRATES: True20 In Action

    True 20's sweet. The next time I run a modern-type game or a no/low magic game, I'll probably use it. The damage kinda' annoyed me actually. I don't know why they didn't keep it more in line w/M&M2e just to keep it simple, and y'know, not confuse me by being just a little bit off. I also...

    Good Superhero-Game?

    Mutants and Masterminds all the way. I've heard it's the world's greatest superhero RPG even. I've played HERO (some version of it anyway) a few times, and I played alot of GURPS supers in high school. I had fun playing both of those games, but they never had quite the same comicbook...

    [Game a Day 16] Werewolf: the Apocalypse

    From what I remember, no one ever wanted to play Werewolf, but lots of people wanted to play A werewolf in whatever Vampire game was going on. Even though they were supposed to be (im)mortal enemies. I liked Vampire okay, but it always bothered me that all the other WoD games seemed like...

    Yoda/Old Bear

    Really? I thought that might have set it up that way for simplicity's sake, but then, nothing else about wildshape is simple, so I had doubts. Well, forget that idea.

    Best Class for a new player

    Cleric's not bad. Even subopimized/played loosely, they're very durable and can hit stuff and are always always appreciatied by the party. Everyone will have helpful suggestions on how to use those spells.

    Yoda/Old Bear

    Okay, I cannot find this anywhere. I tried googleing for it but all I found were out of date arguments. So, sorry if this is old news. B/G: There've been some PKs in our party, and I wanted to make a back up character to have ready, so if I die, I can jump back in the game the same session...

    PHB II Dragon Shaman - Power Level

    No, no. Travel (running for the border)

    Mutants and Masterminds heroes vs. D&D monsters -- is it possible?

    This is the recommended way to convert a monster: this guy's done a few conversions already, but no dragons. http://www.skiltair.com/Ian/Index_mutants&masterminds.htm (of course, this is assuming you're using 1st edition...)

    Any published rules on Shrink Item on ammo?

    What if you animated it first?

    Stupid Archery Question

    Maybe you're thinking of striking cover? It looks like this was removed from the 3.5 srd EDIT: also shooting two grapplers you have a 50/50 chance of attacking one or the other.

    Stacking... Ugh.

    I'll make sure not to say anything. What's his email address?

    Describe for me a 10 X 10 room

    You open the door and look into a 10 ft by 10 ft room. Each of the other three walls have an upright, metal coffin attached to them. The floor is a rusty metal grate, and you can see water or some other liquid about a foot below that. There are four chains hanging from the ceiling. One is...

    Its Official: I HATE Vitality/Wound. You?

    I ran a one-shot, multiple Jedi game using Mutants and Masterminds 1e, and it was sweet. It was neither grim nor gritty. The players loved it and said that it had the most Starwarsy feel of any SWRPG they'd ever played (And both of them have Rebel Alliance tattoos, so that's something). It...

    D&D Magic -- how would you fix it?

    Yeah. I'd like to see enough different systems developed so that I could chop off the Vancian Magic and stitch on something else.

    The 'What D&D character are you?' test...

    You Are A: Lawful Evil Human Thief Fighter Follower Of Mask Sounds pretty good. My inverted character would be a NG Elf Monk Cleric. Yuck. Detailed Results: Alignment: Lawful Good ----- X (1) Neutral Good ---- (-6) Chaotic Good ---- (-5) Lawful Neutral -- (-1) True Neutral ---- (-3)...

    Are Skills Mechanically Important in d20?

    I don't even see it as a problem, as much as it is a D&Dism. If you want a more skill-heavy game there's lots of other d20 games w/more focus on the skills.
