Do you have any of the various sea-faring source books? Many of them have rules and conditions which deal with a lot of your problems and have been out long enough to be heavily discounted on amazon and other sites. Case

Good question. My suggestions: Use night-time to your advantage Use fog Use creatures with clerics that cast obscuring mist and silence to assist their fellows getting on board. Use a ship with port-holes and the like nearer the waterline. Use other events as a distraction to keep the PCs...

Groovy, now if they could just make PHB 2 OGL i'd shell out the bucks for it. Case

Absolutely one of the points I was trying to make Kormydigar. I guess I just house rule the obvious stuff then again I've been using miniatures to play out combats just so everyone knows where the heck they are in relation to everything else since I got my first sets back in like 1980. The...

Rather than Best Game... How about Best New Game This being a new spun game and not a revision of some other rules set or classic. I'm flexible on this however because hey, I'm a fan of Deadlands. Their new version wouldn't by definition be a "new game" but would get a vote from me in some way...

Hmm Couple things... First encounter where a PC used a spiked chain in one of my games... had some dwarf who had a spiked chain "given to him by his father's father's father or some nonsense backstory...and the weapon was immediately disintegrated when it came in contact with a well described...

Rust monsters and Bullette were wierd "dinosaurs" that came in packages of cheapo plastic toys marketed as "land of the lost" toys sold at Ben Franklins Five and Dime stores back in the early 70's. The old boys wrote up stats for the plastic figs and used them in their original D&D games. Nuff...

I second the James Bond game. Outside D&D it was all I played or sought out original source material for. At one time I had it all...now I have none of it *sniffles*. Great game, simple, easy to play, but as an old friend says "When everyone else is playing D&D, it doesn't matter how good the...

Grapple... rather than rolling twice, unless someone unarmed is trying to grapple an armed foe, they just roll grapple checks for grapple rather than attack roll then grapple check and it saves a load of time. If an unarmed opponent tries to grapple an armed one, the armed one gets an AOO. Saves...

John Stark: At the relative "risk" of being considered part of a "prickly lot" let me say that I personally retain the creative rights to materials I have written for C&C. TLG/C&G publishing has rights to their respective game engine and publication and reprinting of any contracted...

Actually... Nevermind. It's been covered. Case

Pretty much what the last few posts said. That is according to my airport cabbie. Largely because of the success of Gen Con and the fact that the city recognizes (and subsequent businesses realize) the amount of revenue that Gen Con brings to the city, they intend to expand the convention center...

I'm pretty sure it was 100 copies to Gen Con, 10 comps, 90 sold. What is in distribution is what is left. Case

I do that too, I thought it was a given but I guess not. Nothing wrong with cloud and storm giants having giant silkworms is there? Frost giants would keep dire mountain goats or other such critters and have their slaves weave wool for them. Iron mined for their weapons. I don't see that as an...

No problem at all SoA we all come from different places but share a common love of RPGs! It's all good! Case

Yes, which is why I replied that I may have misinterpreted. Thank you for pointing it out to me again. I agree with the first part of the statement, which is why I compared it to the Ire and passion which the ever on-going psionics debate wages. However the second bit offers another...

See infernal teddie's post. I may have misinterpreted his "Most american offerings" as meaning something else, thus presented several other "american offerings" that include more cultural diversity. Sorry if I read that wrong. Case PS Morten Isn't American but Mesopotamia was released...

Hmm... First of all, is the question posed on this thread inquisitive of whether or not gamers hate oriental flavored things? Or if the posters to the forum simply dislike or are vehement in their disdain for anything in RPGs that is not Euro centric? Or...Is "oriental flavored D&D hating"...

Karl Edward Wagner's "Kane" series. Darkness Weaves, Bloodstone, Death Angel's Shadow, Dark Crusade. Hard to find the out of print novels but Joe Kushner suggested to me looking them up through certain fantasy book clubs. The Kane series is especially good if you don't mind a bit of science...

BINGO! HaHAHA. At any rate, just speculating, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE! ;) Besides, I think a monte written/developed video game would probably kick some major ass. Case
