It was 1979, City-State of the Invincible Overlord. Bob's fighter is chasing an assassin across roof-tops and down alleys. The assassin runs up a flight of stairs and through the door to a brothel. Bob lunges through the door after him and yells to the assembled harlots- "Did a man come in...

Just downloaded my copy. Looks great. EDIT: DOH! Didn't realize this was old news in the Preview thread!

Played in several friends basements, never in my parents' though. Haven't gamed in one since college oh so long ago.

LEGO is one of the Exhibitors at Gen Con this year. I hope they bring enough of the little guys...

It is remotely possible that the DM is using the Archer class from "Three Arrows for the King" 3.0 supplement which does allow an extra shot by level 2 as a class ability.

Simple, just replace the "20" in the above formula with whatever size die you want rolled.

Do you have plans to update the "SORD plus" produced for the BETA rules to this new version?

Party resource for sure, either bought or found as treasure. In fact, they also pooled money to eventually get everyone a healing belt (from the MIC).

And for even more fun, you then quote Lennon re: the Beatles being more popular than Jesus. Yeah, this is a slow motion car wreck.

Never had this issue come up. In all my campaigns the PCs (and the players) know that the world is a big place and there are lots of things going on that the npcs and other adventurers may be involved in. Their little corner of the world is vital of course but with wars raging and dragons in the...

We mix DnD minis with Fiery Dragon counters I make into standees and I also use the PIG disposable heroes standees.

Brutish louts. Oh wait- you mean the characters. They never name themselves.

Lord-Commander, or even just Lord?

There are tons of different magic systems out there. Unearthed Arcana has both spell points and recharge-time systems. The Sovereign Stone setting used a casting threshold system where you rolled to build-up the power to cast the spell. Arcana Evolved is vancian with more flexibility to...
