I've been out of the loop so long spammer tactics have changed. I'm getting old.

A spam account would link to something, somewhere.

Initiative and Speed... One of the more evil things 3e did to the balance of power between martial and magical classes was the removal of casting times. Prior to 3e initiative was more complicated - it changed from round to round and spells had a delay from when they started to when they...

On alignment - I think I should clarify that while socialism and capitalism are sympathetic to Valra and Sodra respectively, they are each too narrow to be applied to these alignments. Instead, let's look the #1 priority of each ethos: Valra - My Community Abora - My World Shunra - My Family...

A persistent problem of the d20 game is balancing martial against magic classes. 4e's solution was to make all characters spellcasters. You can use all the wordplay you want, but when a fighter has a technique he can only use once a day - he's become a spellcaster. And that isn't acceptable...

Dusk's 4th edition was for D&D 3.5e. The overlap is as follows. Dusk 1 - AD&D 2e Dusk 2 - AD&D 2.5e (Player's Option Rules) Dusk 3 (unpublished anywhere) - D&D 3e Dusk 4 - D&D 3.5 The file in question is for D&D 3.5. I played 4e all of 6 weeks before deciding it wasn't for me.

Yeah, I guess. I started work on a non-infringing version of the book but stopped out of a lack of interest on my own part. But that was a long time ago. So much has changed. To be honest, I'm not sure if I should care.

This morning I was working on a thread in the Pathfinder forum and ran a google search looking for something I thought I'd posted here at ENWorld before. Well, the search turned this up Just goes to show that if you do upload something to the Internet it will eventually turn back up. I...

The 3.5e writeup had some additional abilities, including some you mentioned above, but I didn't know whether or not to plug them in for the pathfinder update. These were Draining Touch: The touch of a deathspeaker disrupts negative life forces. Anyundead creature gains an effectivenegative...

One of my players is taking a level in death speaker, a custom prestige class of my setting. So I have to convert the class to Pathfinder. The class has, since it's inception as a specialist priest all the way back in 2e, has been the setting's go to class for undead extermination. Turn...

Today I'm going to move off of class implementation and look at ability scores. The classic six: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma. Here I'm considering strongly a change that violates the very foundation of what makes a d20 game a d20 game - removing an ability...

I like paladins too, but they may return as a prestige class or a kit of some sort. The archetype is solid, but narrow, which is why of 3e's 11 classes he's the one that got voted off the island. The backbone will start from d20 Pathfinder with influences from several areas. But the core...

The solution I'm considering is that spells themselves 'level up'. We see this already in chain spells in 3e, but this should be a little cleaner. Consider this draft of the iconic magic missile Magic Missile 1st level Daily Shunran Evocation [Force] This spell creates one bolt of force per...

I could look at Mutants & Masterminds I suppose for idea mining. When the group plays superhero games we use Savage Worlds (Necessary Evil). I'm building a system. Please stop posting to suggest I use Pet (toolbox) System X instead. I'm not adverse to idea mining (I'm taking a couple of...

To alleviate some confusion - the following is the original first post, to which Johnny3D3D is replying. This is being done because the first post now appears on all pages. I'm currently doing a D&D setting rewrite. The previous (briefly published) version of it borrows Magic's chromatic...

The Dusk setting is my home brew that I've been toying with since 1990 or so, and publicly since 1995. For those who are fans of older versions of D&D I'll be uploading the older versions of the setting shortly. For the moment I've uploaded the work in progress Pathfinder version, chapters...

Yeah, that's definitely one way to do it. Another way is to learn the mysteries of Blender Pro: Map is digital, can be shared. Con: 3d printers are expensive.

Hello everyone. I stumbled upon an interesting crafting project - making a campaign setting globe. To start you need to get a dry erase globe from a teacher's supply store, like this one fisherSci.com - Dry-Erase Markable Globe I personally used this one Elenco 11" Color My World Globe With...
