    Why does Grim Tales have the most customized CharGen?

    So the Talants and the Feats are all together in a pool of Abilities that people can choose? Are they still really crippled by a bunch of Pre-requisites? One thing I recall from d20 Modern was the AbilityScore Prereqs on feats. Sure you could switch to other classes to make up for your...

    Why does Grim Tales have the most customized CharGen?

    What? Feats are assigned 20 level progressions? How does that work? Did they add more talants or just make it so you had to wait even longer to get one that was interesting?

    Why does Grim Tales have the most customized CharGen?

    I saw a claim to this on a thread. I looked through reviews. It's based on d20 Moderns Attribute Scores, which sounds good. But in the reviews I saw, I didn't see anyone really explaining why chargen was so flexible beyond d20 Modern. d20 Modern was a flop in our games. People loved the...

    Recommendations Please: Rules-Lite Modern Game?

    My FLGS can't get it because the distributor is out and has indicated that they can't re-order. I don't trust Amazon not to take my money and then try to find someone who has a copy. They've done it before (with my university textbooks no less!!!) and I won't go there again. Once something...

    Recommendations Please: Rules-Lite Modern Game?

    And out of print too... I want to get a copy of this and I've been searching cons to no avail. If I actually got some spare cash at some point I might actually search for it on ebay. I have the suppliment Weep for it. Crazy assed psycho-cool adventures. Real demented stuff in there :confused:

    Recommendations Please: Rules-Lite Modern Game?

    Sounds exactly like Spycraft 2.0. But that would fall under the "getting something new" and not "Modifying it". I absolutely adore the Feats in Spycraft 2.0. A ton of feats which gives anyone in any aspect of the game room to grow without being confined to a limited path. It's really spoiled...

    Recommendations Please: Rules-Lite Modern Game?

    Angel/Buffy/Army of Darkness (Unisystem Lite) are pretty much the same rules set and would work well for modern. Spycraft 2.0 if you cut out some fat would work wonders as there are no AoO's there. I'd just ignore the initiative system and play fast/loose with the skills rather than looking...

    [Spycraft 2.0] Hey Phil Reed! Are you making a fantasy version?

    I would kill for a pdf of spycraft 2.0! It would make character gen so much easier, and gameplay faster to have a Gear Packet, Feats, Skills, classes all in seperate packets. probobly multiple Class bundles. It would speed up character gen backlog so much!

    [Spycraft 2.0] Hey Phil Reed! Are you making a fantasy version?

    I'd like to see a fantasy adaption of it. It would be a lot easier to do a Spy/Mission based fantasy... but a normal fantasy could also be done, but you would have to rework some of the class abilities as they pertain to missions and aquiring equipment from missions. But Action Dice, Core...

    Midnight 2.0 PDF on sale now...for $50!!!!

    As to the number of PDFs sold... Army of Darkness (unisystem lite by Eden) was selling the pdf for 30% off retail price. I can't remember the exact number, but it came to less than 20 PDF sales in the first 2 weeks of release. There was a thread that discussed the number of sales and how quickly...

    An idea about character classes; your opinion wanted

    I want something *else*. After playing d20 modern, I want generic classes. I love being able to swap between them freely and pick up different progressions and abilities. I'm playing D&D 3.5 with friends now and I feel like I'm in a straight jacket. I can cross class, but there isn't anywere...

    Which On-line SRD do you use?

    The Hypertext SRD for a few reasons. 1. Everything is cross indexed. If you come across a keyword, you click it and get the rule/definition. 2. It's intuitive and I can find everything. 3. It has a die roller built into the monster blocks. If a Monster has +5 to hit, you click that and a java...

    Spell database

    www.d20SRD.org has all of the spells and they're cross referenced with any other D&D - Spell, rule, monster, whatever reference there might be. Theres a reason why this site is up for an Ennie this year :D

    Spycraft 2.0 is awesome!

    I think a lot of us are in this boat. Due to work & wife constraints I havn't been able to finish it off yet... but I'm slowly digesting it like a python devouring a fat man... great eatin' but it takes a while to digest.

    Spycraft 2.0 Skills

    The skill section is intended to be more... "involved" I'd say. Skills are such a large portion of espionage gaming, yet usually they're so flavourless and bland in d20 and most games. Roll, add/subtrack bonuses, compare to target number. I think the Error/Threat is great because it adds...

    Whatever happened to Stargate?

    One spot were eden gets stopped up is on the post production... the editing & layout/graphic design. They've got quite a few finished books, but just can't get them out. They've said as much before that they were just bottlenecked.

    Iron Heroes...what's your opinion?

    asdf I purchased the PDF for IH last week as well as Spycraft 2.0. I've only skimmed the IH PDF and noted that the art/layout utterly turn me off. Spycraft 2.0 has captured my attention and is a really deep read, so I'm stuck on that right now. I really hope I at least get some milage from...

    Anyone know of websites or suppliments for ritual magic?

    Ohh, that sort of ritual magic looks dreamy :)

    Anyone know of websites or suppliments for ritual magic?

    Thanks for your input. Blood and Relics seems like it may be a bit too exclusive in it's magic if it requires Skills & Feats to use. I'm talking about someone picking up a book and following the directions: Reading the words, drawing the circle, killing something or putting ingredients in a...

    Anyone know of websites or suppliments for ritual magic?

    I don't want spell flingers in a modern game I'm going to run - just ritual magic that anyone with the proper knowledge can perform. Sounds like the magic from Angel for Unisystem Lite. I'll look that over tomorrow... but is there anything for d20/OGL like this already?
