Sorry about the three posts in a row, there is also the Oriental Adventures coinage: 1 Fen = 1 copper piece 1 Yuan = 5 copper pieces 1 Tael = 10 silver pieces 1 Ch'ien = 10 gold pieces This is a slight translation due to the fact that 1st Edition didn't use decimalized currency. 1 Ch'ien =...

There is also Exalted currency: 1 talent = 8 bars = 64 minae = 128 shekels = 1,024 obols = 4,096 bits A talent is a sheet of jade that weights 68 lbs. and each type of coin is a subdivision of those. Each obol on the talent has the imperial seal engraved on it. Then there is the alternate...

I've seen mithril and adamantine coins used in other settings before. In one such setting when we were transported from modern day they thought our dimes were mithril coins, that was nice.

Also, any city adventure can give you plenty of fuel. And there is always: Troops (Star Wars COPS Parody)

Real World Values 0.01 Libra (which could be represented by platinum coin, if you wish) = 1 Golden Solidii = 12 Electrum Triens = 24 Silver Denarii = 7,200 Copper pentanummi I just mix Runequest and D&D and use a silver standard (book prices move down a step gold -> silver -> copper -> lead)...

I'm not a fan of Shadowrun in most of its incarnations, so I had toyed with the idea of running an Ars Magica/Cyberpunk 2020 crossover since the systems are fairly compatiable.

Pick five, ouch: 1. 3.5e Player's Handbook 2. Vampire the Masquerade Revised 3. Transhuman Space 4. Ars Magica 5. Call of Cthulhu the Anniversary Edition And given the book choices I would pick you Chris Pramas, then I could substitute #5 for Hero 5th Edition, the even bigger black book...

If wizards really want to aim at children they just have to not lead them as much. They'll hit them everytime. Other than the poor attempt at remixing Full Metal Jacket, I like the product and our hobby will gray and die if we don't find ways to reach out to kids (I know I gray more with each...

D6 is open. Sweet.

It's already been said, but again: System: 4th Edition Storyline: 2nd Edition

Do you mean like the tick-based system used in Exalted and Scion?

There doesn't seem to be an SRD for Runequest II, I don't think many people jumped on the license anyway.

Yep, just missed that one, you won't catch the other one I made because I fixed it. I forgot the big one, almost all classes had level titles that they were supposed to use instead of the class name. And alignment languages were eliminated in 2nd Edition.

Changes Races The Half-orc was taken out of the corebook, but was given an entry in the Monstrous Manual I. It was placed back in the game in the Book of Humanoids and Skills & Powers Classes Classes in 1st Edition were organized with classes and subclasses. The classes were Cleric, Fighter...

When used as an indicator of wealth and privilege it works in any era, and it still eliminates the headaches of "how much does this cost?" or "do I really have to pay 50 gp/month/level of maintenance?" Noble families with castles, heirloom weapons, and fields tended by peasants could easily use...

And your "All too Human"? Sorry, if it looks like I'm asking dumb questions, I know how you feel. In the early days of d20 when I made my web conversions I had a lot of people e-mail me questions (and a few people wanting me to scan and send them free stuff from my gaming library).

Can you give me a little bit more of a breakdown of the Oracles? I mean Blood & Sex and the others are self-descriptive, but I would like to see in more detail what each of them mean.

So what is the composition of the "All Too Human" Oracle. Do you have it in .txt, .pdf, or .doc format? And could I do this with the random adventure sheets from d20 sources (Dungeon Master's Guide, Races of the Wild, Races of Stone, Complete Mage, and Epic Level Handbook and for non-canon the...

Yeah I'm an educator, so I tend to ask complicated questions.

Somebody beat me to it. Drat! Can you explain the Owe list a little more, the rules just don't seem to be that awfully clear. Anyway, why can't you mix up the Oracles and just mix the results? Could you use the owe list to allow drawer's choice. I've also found in most games, if the party...
