I've bashed Mongoose rather hard in this thread and a few others. I want to make it perfectly clear that it's been at least three years since I've looked at a Mongoose product at all. The items I've looked at were simply bad, and that is clearly a matter of opinion. I's quite possible that their...

Any player may choose to take the average before rolling. .5 HP are gained but not treated as a true HP until another .5 HP is taken. Non-fighters may reroll a one (classes with a d8 or lower). Fighers may reroll on a one or a two (classes with a d10 or higher). The Second reroll is final...

Huh? Peep?

Thanks Amal, but there is one thing I did forget to add. If a player for some reason looses enough xp due to being forgetful about names to actually go below the required xp for the level they are currently at, then they DONT loose the level, they just remain below the minimum xp needed till the...

Consumable XP I award consumable xp to the group. Whenever a member brings a food item to share with the group he/she earns extra xp that goes into a group pool. That group pool can be used (though a majority vote) to bump characters who are close to the next level, pay the xp cost for magical...

Perhaps Rasyr, however Mongoose has already laid a bed of coals for itself to walk over, so they are ripe to receive fire like this. I've not been poking holes at them over it, but thats because they are already so riddled with them that one more wouldn't be noticed. ;)

Just returned from Staples with the plastic adhesive tabs. Thanks!

Thank you very much Greymist. I'm thinking of doing the same.

What do you use to tab your books and what type of info do you usually mark an how? I'm curious because I've thought about doing this in the past but haven't really investigaged it. The most I've done is to write down page's in the front cover of info that I thought might be useful, and I don't...

I have used (recently) xp penalties for alignment infractions. The following (kinda large) thread had changed my thinking on this issue and I will no longer be doing so. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=127142

3.x makes the game less lethal As a GM who has experienced each edition of the game, I'd say that 3.x is less lethal than the earlier versions only because the CR system (which is far from perfect) gives less experienced GM's a guideline by which they can measure what a party of adventurers can...

I see a lot of speculation on what the "market" will bear but very few facts, and I'd want to know the origins of the facts. I suppose its safe to speak in generalities, but it seems to me that there are a lot of adventures on the market, unless my FLGS just carries all of them that are out...

No need to be sorry, but the title of the thread was reinventing cyberpunk right? Transhuman space has a large number of cyberesque themes to it. Monolithic corporations, cyberspace, implants, futuristic weapons, and a dark feel. It's a modern interpretation of the not too distant of human...

This question is best suited for the Kenzerco boards however they are down for the weekend so I will post it here hoping there are some Kalamar Guru's who frequent these boards. I run a Kingdoms of Kalamar game, and am currently running a bastardized version of the Coin of Power adventure...

I read roleplaying books for pleasure. I often use modules during play as an outline than bastardize at will, with a few notes here and there to tie it all into my plot. Doesn't take much time at all. When not using a module, I just look though books for the baddies I want to use and mark a few...

I agree with the Jungle idea. I'd say somewhere from the Wild Coast. Depends also the type of cat breed you are thinking about. There are mountain breeds (cougar), plains breeds (lion), and jungle breeds (jaguar, panther). If you have a specific cat in mind that might influence your decision on...

Perhaps a better title for this thread is, "One man's junk is another man's treasure."

I do exactly this. My players donate freely, there is no requirement to pay, but we do $5.00 dontations a month and if a player can't pay that month they give the treasurer a $5 IOU and pay as they can(I donate $10.00 to keep our web page up). We use the money not only to buy books for my use...

I'm glad you found your book, very glad. Friends aren't friends if they can't trust each other. You're welcome for what its worth, I'm just glad it was nothing. :)

Meh. Why bother. There are so many other publishers whom I can trust, and so much other material on the market, I prefer not to gamble my dollars. I can trust Fantasy Flight Games, Sword and Sorcery Studios, WotC, and a handful of small publishers to provide me with excellent material. Mongoose...
