Forget d20. Now Ryan, why is it important to choose a single oracle? Couldn't you mix the oracles for your choices and try to make a story from there? Say do player's choice? And if you did that would you use the owe list to allow them to change the Oracle?

I did the test interview for an Oral History project and I couldn't believe how many times I used vocal fillers. I memorized the Japanese vocal fillers to keep from losing points on my Japanese Oral Exams, but I still had a lot of them.

I just used numerical values, inspired from the SAGA system (not Star Wars) and Deadlands. You draw two cards and added their values together. Jokers were 0.5, Jacks were 4, Queens were 5, and Kings were 6. The trump suites were: Strength, Constitution: Clubs Dexterity: Spades...

After hearing your podcast on "In a Wicked Age" I heard: 1) No prep 2) atactical 3) strongly story oriented and went SOLD! and bought a copy and posted the show on Facebook. I'm just waiting on the .pdf link right now.

You are the spambot assassin.

The Stronghold builder's Guide had Trebuchet stats but they were so awful I made my own. If you look at the falling objects rules a trebuchet should be doing 15d6 damage, not one die more than a heavy catapult because the shot is much, much heavier.

The system that made my players happiest was a 40 point point buy (gasp). I use the DMG system and the points are based on the oWoD 7/5/3 split which 40 points is mathematically equivalent to. Then I allow them after they have set their stats to roll 3d6 straight down the line taking the die...

I think if you do it the second way, then you can still use the table. You just make the encounter, set the DCs for the specific case and then use the table to find out what the CR of the challenge was and use that to determine how many XPs they get for the encounter.

I called the game because we had a foot of snow fall in a few hours and I have little to no experience driving on the snow. Apparently everyone else did.

Cool. Its a nice, simple system. I like it.

You know, I don't have to be introspective. I am currently running a very successful Thursday night game that the players in that game rave about and I have a very large number of successful games under my belt since I began running back in 19*cough*cough*. I know I am a good Storyteller and...

I would probably have more of a problem if it was the whole party, but it was two out of four people who decided this (the other two have played with me extensively and enjoy my play style). And they just brushed it off as me just being stressed over my demanding schedule (I am an adjunct...

No, they did that too.

Because I just can't do it. As soon as one of the players does something interesting I want to follow the consequences of it and it bothers me not to do so.

No, I've had someone run a sequel to my Dallas by Night game after I had graduated college and left town permanently. I came back to visit about two years later and heard all the stories, that was somewhat flattering (because I was not aware of it). Yeah, my Thursday night Scion group is a...

The closest I came was taking the Star Wars Saga talents and readapting back to Modern d20 (along with a few class features from D&D). I have that an a classless spellcasting system hidden somewhere.

The person who took over is into "system mastery" and his characters are always builds. He plans his build at 1st level and it doesn't matter what happens in the game to his character he always sticks to his builds (for me builds are good for making a new character because it speeds up...

So, I had had some problems with my players over play styles (they are more gamist and I'm more narrativist). We abandoned a story rich game for an established game universe and I lost control of which house rules to use. To top it off, I decided to cancel the game today because of bad...
