    D&D Trivia Quiz III - Dark Sun special

    7/10, but I made two guesses. Shame on me. I have the entire Dark Sun collection including the mini-book of the original box (I loved the mini-books, but our FLGS stopped carrying them because a few fanboys got incredibly angry about them). I preordered Dark Sun when I heard about it and...

    Why is the Mule considered a Game Breaker?

    Egg laying mammals that do produce milk but do not have mammae (or breasts as it were).

    What point buy system do you use?

    40 points based on the 3.5 system. This makes the characters mathematically equivalent to a 7/5/3 White Wolf character and gives an average of 14.5 for an ability score. After I played it I also used the Star Wars +1 to two different ability scores every 4th level, and when 4e came out I...

    What is the name of the world for these settings?

    I thought about taking all these campaign bits and putting them together in a single world: Ghostwalk, Tianguo (from Dragonfist), Jakandor, Asheba (from one of Gygax's works), the Io's blood Isles, and Narajan. Maybe a few more might be in order.

    Fixes for Mage: Sorcerer's Crusade magic?

    I like the idea of sticking to the amount of damage a mage can do, I used a cross between 1st and 2nd edition damage for Mage (so damage was exponential with successes). If you want to spark the gunpowder, doing one success isn't enough, you have to the same amount of damage as you would do if...

    Big Bang Theory and the Dungeon Master's Guide

    I would say that I enjoy the show. All four guys are very successful in their fields. It does have the problem that they unrealistically portray graduate students as if they were undergrads and they seem to have a problem with writing dialogue for nerdy females. I don't know, Sheldon as a...

    Big Bang Theory and the Dungeon Master's Guide

    Now, the question becomes who plays what? According to episode 21, Howard is the DM, so what do Sheldon, Raj, and Leonard play? And have they ever gotten Penny into it?

    Big Bang Theory and the Dungeon Master's Guide

    Am I the only person to note that the 4e Dungeon Master's Guide was on the coffee table in Leonard and Sheldons' apartment in episode 23 of season 3 (The Lunar Excitation)? It's the scene where Raj finally finds a date for Sheldon and Leonard is lying dejected on couch.

    Why is the Mule considered a Game Breaker?

    You all are just stubborn and can't see the freedom and change that lack of mules gives you, embrace the change. Just stubborn, stubborn as a mule.

    James Wyatt new Creative Manager

    Couldn't happen to a better guy (I am a bit partial because he linked my old Masque of the Red Death conversion).

    No Naval Rules?

    AD&D had 1 minute rounds so 1" a round would be 1 yard in 6 seconds. There are 1760 yards in a mile and 86,400 seconds in a day (60 x 60 x 24). So it is 1/6 yard/second x 86400 seconds/day x 1/1760 miles/yard = ~8. A ship can travel 24 hours a day.

    No Naval Rules?

    Oh, here are my d20 conversions of the Foy articles and Spelljammer ships. I've used a slightly different vehicle building philosophy than the people at Wizards.

    New Campain Setting

    Why make a new campaign setting, I would just place that into the drow based campaign I was in so long ago.

    Burning nostalgic for Alternity

    2004 version, pages 129 and 132, variable modifiers, though they did smooth out the dice values a bit instead of just jumping straight to +1d12 to +1d20 to +2d20 to +3d20.

    No Naval Rules?

    There are 176" outdoor to a mile and 1440 rounds per day. So you divide your tactical movement in inches per round by dividing by eight or you multiple your movement in miles per day by eight. Siege attack values for creatures are 1/2 a siege attack value per 1d6 of damage the creature...

    D&D + CoC

    The one I've always wanted to try was to run two parties. The first were CoCd20 characters who were the awake characters. Then when they went to sleep they would walk down the long stair case, meet Nasht and Kaman-Tha and when they walk into the woods they generate D&D characters and I would...

    Burning nostalgic for Alternity

    The die mechanic itself was reprinted in Unearthed Arcana. And the original wound system was the ancestor of the wound/vitality point system in the first two Star Wars games.
