    Strangest place you've gamed...?

    I'm not in the running but anyway: In a college radio station while one of the players was running a show. In the physics department conference room. In the psychology department's rat lab with the rats. On the college stage at night (good thing Dr. Danny never found us, he would have killed...

    Don't Rest Your Head

    I clicked on this from an ENWorld Ad and it seemed interesting enough to buy as a .pdf. I read reviews on RPG.net and none of them seemed to make the connection to Kult, the original game with an extradimensional city. DRYH seems more graphic novel (not to sound disparaging) in tone whereas...

    In A World Where Magic Exists...

    And since D&D doesn't have spells or powers that can say divert a teleport cough* Divert Teleport :: d20srd.org *cough no one will never, ever be able steal such goods. Given that Forgotten Realms haters always point out how many high level NPCs there are, it is a cogent argument. Yes, because...

    In A World Where Magic Exists...

    I missed that part. Oops. Oh well. So it's only 648,000 gp about 7 voyages. Since using wages for professional above the GDP of Spain in 1500 was about 38,000,000 gp so that would be about 2% of its GDP which is somewhat reasonable. But then again only 4.7% of the population would have the...

    Okay, permanent circle of teleport 324,000 gp (Circle of Teleport 18th level caster x 9th level spell x 2,000 gp for permanent enchantment). Can carry up to 1 ton (115 lbs. per person up to level in people) up to 2,000 miles. You will need 7 of these to reach all the way around the world (if...

    RP *versus* combat? Not when I play

    I don't know, that Duke's boring dinner is a place where the player's jockey for position; trade, buy, or sell; meet new contacts, friends, and enemies; find new leads; uncover parts of their character's pasts; and develop their character's personalities. This could lead to duels, rivalries...

    In A World Where Magic Exists...

    There will always be people pretending to know magic, even in a world with magic. You'll have fake potion sellers, fake magic item sellers, and people who will fake the ability to cast spells with elaborate rituals. Given that D&D spells are 10 gp a spell level (times caster level) and your...

    Best space marines system?

    I ran a Bughunters game using new World of Darkness and it ran pretty well. The only problem is that after converting the weapons they were weaker than the Arsenal Weapons. With Trinity you can supplement with High-Tech Equipment (especially if you have the Technology Guide). I converted the...

    7th Sea in the Real World

    I disagree, no fictional setting will ever match the complexity of things that were happening in history. The default year for the "Age of Adventure" setting in d20 Past is 1667: 1667 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia However, it fails to mention that the last of the great generals of the...

    Vampire the Masquerade 20th Edition version

    Well all of this opposed to a game that assumes the default game is you and your friends invading the home of other intelligent creatures with different noses, skin color, ear shape, religion, and moral outlook; killing them, their women, and children; taking their life savings; and then going...

    Veteran of the Edition Wars [comedy]

    So I've played the Holmes set (my first game), BE, BECMI, AD&D (1st and 2nd Edition), D&D (3rd Edition), and I've played a little bit of 4th. So how many medals is that?

    How important are fantasy races to you?

    I just dislike it when races are used as shorthand for nationalities. Humans have six or so cultures and each race has their own culture. Why don't the nonhuman races have multiple cultures? Well, barring story reasons for having only a single culture. Races can add to the flavor of the...

    It might've been too long since you last gamed if...

    Some of the gamers in your group weren't even born when you started playing. Heck some of them weren't even born when you first changed editions.

    System suggestions for modern horror?

    Sorry, I have to disagree. I ran a Bughunters campaign using nWoD instead of Amazing Engine and it ran really well for me, even with combat. I had added some 2300 AD and Justifiers in for extra flavor and used the psychic rules in Second Sight. In most horror games combat is something to be...

    Where did campaigns stop?

    Before Zeb Cook came out with the 20 level limit in 2nd Edition (which carried over to 3rd with exception of the High Level Options [which raised it to 30] and Epic Level Handbook and exists in 30 level limit in 4e) at what level did longterm AD&D campaigns stop? And yes, I know that BECMI had...

    So Ryan What about Incantations in E6?

    So I'm tempted to write up 4th and 5th level spells as Incantations, since spellcasting stops at 3rd level spells. So what would be a good target DC for 4th and 5th considering that most incantations are DC 32 and because of the level limit the max roll will be 38?
