Personally, I consider Whedon's departure to be a good thing for one primary reason. He'd already said that he didn't want to use the WW costume. I can take some jockeying with 'traditional' costumes, like the 'armor' look in Batman Begins and the color alterations in Superman Returns. Both...

To throw in a voice in exactly the opposite of many replies so far: 'Tolkienesque' is absolutely fine with me. To gain any interest from me, a setting should NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES include psionics, new races, new classes, new feats, 'steampunk'-ish stuff, 'sci fi' stuff, etc. In other...

I rather doubt that this is what the Rules Compendium is going to be...but I'd love it if it were. I'd really love to see a 'skimmed-down' version of 3.5 with all the miniatures-dependent chaff thrown by the wayside and organized a la the old Basic D&D Rules Cyclopedia (that is to say, basic...

I daresay I agree. :) Yep! :) That's why one of the primary changes I made to my microlite20 house rules was puttin' CHA back in. It's way too important in my games. Regards, Darrell

Oh, they roll their fair share of dice; just not (usually) for combat. :) Well, they've been involved in one orc invasion since we've been using m20, and there was a good semblance of a 'horde' involved in that. :) It ran pretty much by the book, save that I do allow fighters a sort of a...

Heh. :) I guess I've been messin' up a bit. :) Because that's how far the example description went in the original .rtf document (which is the source for my 'personal' m20 rules document), I've been giving 'em a maximum of three attacks per round. As far as combat being 'too short,' I...

I think I've got to agree with the 'wulf on this one. From the beginning, part of the real beauty of m20 (at least for me) has been that I can, say, go to my local Barnes & Noble, buy a D&D adventure like 'Scourge of the Howling Horde,' and run it from the source material without a lot of...

Thanks! :D Glad you like it! Can't wait to see what kind of 'musculature' gets added to the 'skeleton' I wrote up. :) The pantheon, incidentally, is one I've been working on off and on for several years. I've been trying to cover most of the 'traditional' areas of deific influence...

Hello, all. I've finished (at least tentatively) the microlite20 campaign setting I was working on. It was too big to post on this thread, and I'm too techno-illiterate to know how the m20 wiki-thing works yet, so I've e-mailed it to greywulf. Whenever he puts it up, let me know what you all...

Well, if you have a look at the map I posted earlier, that's pretty much what you're gonna get with my Dragonclaw Barony setting. Major cities and towns will be tagged, along with a few fortresses and known adventuring locales, and there'll be a few paragraphs of text describing what lies to...

Let me know when you get this going. I know WotC isn't going to stop random-packing; they make too much money. Separately-sold themed packs of common minis, however, would be a different story. They would allow for a small degree of non-randomization, but wouldn't affect the collectibility of...

Around the Gaston County area. My usual touring path doesn't take me to Raleigh/Cary/etc. very often. I'll look in when I'm up that way. Thanks! :) Regards, Darrell

I have told him that. He maintains that it's 'too much for him to keep track of;' and then he'll have box on box of used '80s toys (Transformers, GI Joe, He-Man, etc.) all over the store. That's just it. He's not selling out. I buy dust-covered boxes of minis there every other week. The...

I'm not really asking them to change their business plan, per se. I'm simply saying that it would be nice to be able to buy commons en masse, rather than trading or buying a squintillion booster packs. :) Note, however, that I'm only advocating theme-packs of commons--the ones that there are...

OK, I'll respond. :) For many people, nothing. For people like me, a great deal. In the first place, the secondary market is difficult to reach in a first-hand manner, at least in my area. The closest place I've found that sells individual minis is in Myrtle Beach, SC...some five hours...

Sorry, man, but I disagree. I was given a set as an 'end-of-the-run' gift on the closing night of a play I was doing. I played it twice, and gave it to my nephew. I can't understand how it got the green light, other than Hasbro/Wizards trying to find a use for all the extra card-printing...

Depends. The games I run, I use tons of orcs and goblins and skeletons and zombies and such. Animals (wolves, bears, hyenas, spiders, etc.), about the same. Tons of humans, dwarves, elves, halflings, etc., too. More exotic critters, not so much. Demons, devils, elemental critters, drow...

I understand the advantages to the collectors of the random packing, but I still think it would be cool to be able to buy common minis in a multi-pack, say, a ten-pack with 5 Orc Maulers and 5 Howling Orcs, or 5 Free League Rangers and 5 Doomguards, or something of that nature, just as a side...

Thanks for the offer, kensanata, but I already have a map, and it's been colored for me by a kind soul over on the ENW Art Gallery forums (thanks, hafrogman, if you're reading). See below for said map, sans labeling. Yours are really, exceptional, though. I love your gallery. :) The...
