Would you expect to see more magic item crafting with a level cap? If you figure a caster takes the item crafting feats available to them under the level cap (Magic Arms and Armor, Scroll, Potion, Wand and Wonderous, give or take), they could pump out a whole party's worth of items and only be...

Here's the wiki entry for Roger E Moore. Nothing after 2000 it looks like, though there's a link at the bottom to Pen and Paper that says he edited something in 2001. That's all I got after an exhausting 1 min internet search.

I actually liked 1e more than 2e. I don't really have a good reason for that, it didn't have smoother game play or anything like that. I suppose it was because it was 1e and it was supposed to be arcane and byzantine, so the wonkiness really added to the "Hey this is 1e!" experience whereas in...

I was thinking today about how Illusions really have to be specifically tailored to a situation to be really effective. An illusion of snakes or cats or even a big wheel of cheese (okay, that you would need a Major Illusion for) is going to get some sort of reaction out of rats, where as an...

What does it matter if a cat can see itself in the mirror? (If someone says their cat can recognize itself in the mirror, I'm willing to believe them and if science hasn't proven or disproven this yet, its probably because every time someone has asked for a grant to determine if cats can...

Well, Minor Illusion is a 2nd level spell, which keeps getting skipped over.

Is this a bad time to ask about the guy in my bathroom mirror who shaves at the exact same time I do every day?

The only reaction my dog ever had to a mirror was to think to himself, "Man, I am almost shockingly good looking." I'd let it work, at least a little, because its a creative idea. How well it worked would be dependent on the level of the spell. A Silent Image would probably delay the rats one...

Exhausted is pretty steep for one night without sleep, if only because you skip the Fatigued condition altogether. I could be sold on Fatigued after a night of no sleep, and then Exhausted after a day of normal activity so you'd be exhausted at the end of a 36 hour period. "Reality" makes a...

I picked up a 8'x4' sheet of white panelling at my local DIY for about 12 bucks. Its basically a sheet of MDF with one side coated in a white plastic that seems fairly resistant to all forms of markers. I attached it to a piece of plywood and put some looted folding table legs for it, and now...

You're always within a few hundred feet of a type of "shore" since bats and other fliers can roost (or whatever its called when bats do it) in the roof of the caverns. I ran my first session of this about a week ago. The main encounter was with some chitine who lured in ships with a bit of...

And nezumi!

I say have them enslaved, handwave a thousand years of brutally evil murderous servitude (Angel: I offered ugly death to everyone I met and I did it with a song in my heart.) and then have them reawaken when their master is slain by-- well, whatever you want. I mean, thats a radically different...

This is one of those issues that I can never be truly rational on, because no matter how great v4 might be, I just completely and instinctively grokked SR2 and 3. Every rough spot in the system was either something I had houseruled to work (vehicle combat), didn't use (decking), or didn't mind...

Hey, that was the plot of Blade II: vampires who could only feed on vampires. (Well, to the extent Blade II could be said to have a plot. I liked it, but I might be the only one.)

I'm not sure how the RAW does it either. The short version would seem to be a character who gets insufficient rest is Fatigued the next day, and if a character is Fatigued and gets insufficient rest they're Exhausted. In some groups, "insufficient rest" is less than 8 hours, although I might...

The vampiric ixitxachitl (good guess on the spelling, btw) isn't technically undead, its an aberration with similar abilities. A vampiric gibbering mouther is just a neat idea though, but I kind of like the idea of vampiric everythings. In a fantasy game, there's a way to make whatever you...

If you want my advice-- and no one does-- I'd say just expand the the vampiric template to giants, and that'll give you trolls and ogres as well as, well, giants. It seems to me like this very issue was covered in some capacity over at the Wizards site on Elite Opponents or Fight Club. But...

If "mercurial" were a property added to the weapon (like say AE's Dire property) then the feats would likely apply, but I don't think that's how they're written. (It's been awhile since I've read mercurial weapons. They never grabbed me.) Its pretty much its own weapon, requiring its own...

That's no moon. That's a space station. Although this does remind me of something my GM said one time while he was running the original Undermountain boxed set. "I'm pretty sure this entire map was knocked out in one weekend using the old random dungeon generator from the 1e DMG." Maybe...
