    D20 Modern/Dark Matter

    Definitely! I've looked at d20 Modern on several occasions...well, OK, about a thousand...and have resisted purchasing it, and will likely continue to do so. A full-on DarkMatter setting hardcover, however, would be another story. I know that DarkMatter elements have crept in to several d20...

    Worn out scenes

    Mel Gibson in The Patriot. When Benjamin Martin (Gibson) is rescuing his son, who is held prisoner by the British, one of the foot-soldiers holds said offspring hostage, with a knife at his throat. THWACK! Thrown tomahawk to the head. Love it. Regards, Darrell

    [Total plug]West Wood Barony

    For what it's worth, I would HIGHLY recommend this pdf, and I'm not the type who generally likes ANYTHING that's released in pdf form. It (and the Religions of Karathis download--also free, BTW) is one of my all-time favorite d20 products. It's a well-thought-out setting, with just the right...

    [FDP!] Visit the West Wood -- now in PDF!

    Originally posted by FDP Mike We're glad you like the West Wood PDF, Darrell! :) So am I. :-) If you poke around a bit on the Fiery Dragon site, you'll run across a few more goodies that would be of use for running a West Wood campaign...[snip]... Got 'em...and got NeMoren's Vault as well...

    [FDP!] Visit the West Wood -- now in PDF!

    Hi there, FDP-folk! Y'know, I don't really care for pdf material for the most part, but it so happened that on the day the notice about the 'West Wood' release went up on the EN World front page, I was looking for a 'mini-setting' for the next three-months (I'm leaving town for a bit, and don't...

    Fantasy Sex Roleplaying Game Releases October 2003

    Changeling & Mage, huh? That'd be why I missed them. With the WW/WOD stuff, I looked at Vampire, then Werewolf, and then gave everything else a pass. The White Wolf stuff just ain't to my liking (well, the Sword & Sorcery Studios/Necromancer Games d20 stuff is technically White Wolf stuff...

    Fantasy Sex Roleplaying Game Releases October 2003

    Hmmmm.... Since it now appears that Morrus has had confirmation from AV, it also appears that the press release is legit. Sounds good to me, to be quite honest. As someone else pointed out, I'm much more likely to purchase something like this than I am to pick up yet another...

    Are you using any of Mongoose Publishing's Power Classes?

    I'm all for 'em. I currently use the Noble and Assassin classes in my game, and would probably allow the Exorcist and Gladiator if a player desired to do so. Of the new crop, I'm most looking forward to the Hedge Wizard and the Knight. I'm probably in the vast minority here, but I greatly...

    Who "Owns" Old PC's?

    Suuuuuuurrre. If you wanna believe that, then consider this... Only the parts (primarily name and backstory) that exist prior to the first moment of the first game session can even marginally "belong" to you. EVERYTHING that happens 'in-game' (including all creatures, characters, and...

    What Would You Like From the Mongoose?

    What I would like to see: About a gajillion more Slayer's Guides. A hardcover "Ultimate/Power Class"-type book detailing old and new 'core' classes instead of prestige classes. A d20 'low-magic' ruleset (and maybe a setting, as well). Regards, Darrell King

    Could you make a Christian-oriented RPG?

    Something to consider RE: Arcane magic in a Christian-oriented RPG. There is no reaso to suppose the non-existence of arcane magic. The Church could seek to completely control the use of arcane magic, promoting its use for students within the Church and its agencies, and labeling secular study...

    [Nostalgia, Poll of sorts] IF you could have an old D&D product/s revamped for 3E...

    I'll join the call for Mystara/Known World stuff--though I'd prefer a HC book to a boxed set. It could easily be done by updating the information from the old gazetteer series (taking the opportunity to retcon things like Shadow Elves taking over Alfheim), and bringing out a "Known World...

    Mass Combat: Abstract or Tactical?

    Full books, no. Mongoose Publishing has published two mass combat systems, though--the Open Mass Combat System in 'Quintessential Fighter' and the Cinematic Battle System in 'Crusades of Valour.' Both are rather simple, but the Open Mass Combat System is more detailed than the Cinematic Battle...

    3E art and age

    Age: 36 Feeling about 3E art: mostly positive While there are several individual artists I dislike (Scott Fischer being among them--his stuff just looks sloppy.), I _really_ like others (Todd Lockwood, Kevin Walker, Arnie Swekel, and Wayne Reynolds being among them); but it's really been the...

    "Perils of GOR" RPG?

    Anybody have an idea as to which publisher might be doing this thing? If it sees the light of day (and the lights of the shelves in my FLGS), I'll probably buy it--not so much for the setting itself, but as source material. One of the kingdoms in my home-brew has a "GOR"-type feel to it...

    Must see movie for D20 Modern.

    Personally, I preferred 'Predator 2.' Primarily because I prefer "'ordinary guy' vs. big, ugly critter" stories to "muscle-bound military guy vs. big, ugly critter" stories; but also because Danny Glover, by himself, can out-act the entire original 'Predator' cast--without even trying hard...

    Gamma World to Return -- What Else Should Come Back?

    Another vote for Dark*Matter here. Mystara, too, though I wouldn't mind seeing it whittled down to a 'small-scale' setting featuring only a few countries--say, Karameikos, Darokin, Alfheim (giving it back to the elves and getting rid of the 'pseudo-drow' Shadow Elves) and Glantri--and released...

    Question for Mongoose--RE: Cinematic Battle System

    Hi, Gez-- When Mongoose_Matt says, "The CBS is very much rules-lite," he isn't kidding---and that's exactly why I like it so much. In a pitched battle, I can run normal combat with the PCs for several rounds, then 'zoom out' to the larger battle and (usually with a single d20 roll) see how the...

    D&D artwork which captures something for you

    Some of my favorites: Elmore's 'Dragon Slayers' pic showing the group standing around the small dragon they've slain. Robh Ruppel's cover to the 'Night of the Walking Dead' module...creepy. Todd Lockwood's 'Invisible Stalker' pic on p.123 of the 3e MM. Tordek hacking away at a red dragon...

    Question for Mongoose--RE: Cinematic Battle System

    Hi, there-- I was just wondering... Since you guys are doing the 'half-size' book thing now (with the 'Power Class' series), why not adapt the Cinematic Battle System from Crusades of Valour as a similar release? Just add in a way to determine the MC for an average military unit of a given...
