Ok, let me see if i got this straight: I'm kind of talking tangential to the topic, but i'll get back to it in a moment. There is Publisher X. They have selected your group to play test one of their products. During playtest (though i guess it's technically before playtest even began), you...

Quick! Do Nobilis with GURPS! :p :D

I agree, actually. Constructive criticism is a good thing. Rambling on about how much you hate everything in teh system and how it kicked your dog for 500 words without a suggestion to "do it better" (besides "Play x!", i mean) isn't particularly constructive. Not that i'm bagging on "Play...

I read the preview pdf a few months back. Between the "too cool for owrds!!11oneeleven" writing style and the lame convept for cybernetics, i deleted the pdf and stopped caring.

It just seems to me that all those words and all that time spent on bagging what amounts to "let's pretend with dice and paper" is kind of pointless, and could be better used for something more productive.

Actually, no. :) And i also give this a 5/23 eldritch pseodopods. Not enough emotional vitriol, an nowhere enough flamebait.

Yeah, i'm looking at that and going "Whoa...waittaminnit!" Are these adventures supposed to be really long, or what? I'm asking because i don't know the 3e stuff at all, never having bought them. 4 levels in a module like that seems pretty fast. I dunno...maybe i'm just jumping at shadows...

Not bad, but i don't think this passes the Talisman Test. By "Talisman Test" i mean "Could this be used to describe play of the Talisman boardgame?" Why do i use Talisman? The game includes many elements that roleplaying games do (characters, a fictional world and so on) but is not really...

The stuff about Miska didn't exist in the original version of the Rod of Seven Parts, back in 74. It talks about the Wind Dukes of Aqaa and Pesh for a bit, and sounds quite a bit like something lifted from Moorcock, actually. There is also a minor change in that "as soon as three joining...

I totally agree, actually. I remember arguments back in the days of 2e over whether or not some character could throw 6 (or maybe it was 9, don't remember) darts a round because he had used both hands, had weapon specialization and a really high dex...i forget exactly what the heck was going...

It jelps big time, Thanks. Actually, you're both right. On a roll for HP, the average difference is 2 (3.5 vs 5.5). On a "max HP at first level build", it's 4.:cool:

Ok, if you just want a little bit of one class, say, 4 levels of fighter and plan on filing on another class, would it be best to: a: take the four levels of fighter first, and then multiclass into something else b: take a few levels of the primary class, say, 2 or three, and then take the...

I think this would be a cool idea, combining the ideals of the Kalashtar love of physical and mental perfection into a single package. It would probably be a lousy build, mind you, but i don't care too much about that (i think). What would be a good way to start a build for such a character...

Sounds pretty interesting so far, guys. Would it cause a huge flamewar if i asked in what ways things were "broken"? If so, then it might be best to point me to some old threads on this topic instead of reigniting something better left dead.

Ok, I like magic, but i'm also interested in psionics for a possible Eberron game. how do these compare in terms of relative overall power? Is one way more obviously powerful than the other? Are they about on par? Are psionics too horrifically stupid to even bother with? I would have to buy...

Ah. Didn't realize that unarmed strikes were a different weapon category and not considered natural weapons. Thanks.:cool:

First off, some questions about monks and razorclaw shifters. Ok, razorclaw shifters do something like 1d4 damage (can't recall off the top of my head, and i know there's a level based or feat based bonus in there as well, but for now, let's assume no such bonus applies right now). Monks also...

I was actually thinking of running U1-3 with the Saltmarsh information in the DMG 2.:cool: Of course, converting it over to Eberron.

You better not be in my group, or there will be much slaying of characters (mostly yours)!:p

So they're not suicidal bloodthirsty sociopathic murderers out to slaughter everything that looks at them funny. D&D is generally more than a wargame, and the fact that your players are exercising the option to not fight everything in sight is a Good Thing, not something to be deplored as stupid...
