Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the game does go on Once more you kick in the door And you're here in my fight And my game will go on and on Cheers, -- N

In my experience, Saga supports a mixed group where everyone feels able to contribute, yet where Jedi can still feel cool. Your bullet point is inaccurate for Saga. If you meant the previous d20 versions, your bullet point is on-target. Cheers, -- N

Yep yep. An appendix of variant rules -- with discussion about their implications, both in isolation and combination -- will add a lot of value. But the baseline should be the core rules. Cheers, -- N

Unilateral conflicts certainly do exist. For example, the attack on Pearl Harbor was an act of war, even though only one side was doing any attacking. - - - Pedantry aside, some sigs do seem to contain things that would not be allowed in the body of a post. Is there a different policy on sigs...

Yes, it is wrong. And bad. And badwrong. Furthermore, all of these "names" lack internal punctuation, which is vital to a high-quality fantasy name. Where are the hyphens? Whither the apostrophes? Nary an en-dash nor em-dash grace those monikers. Also, they need more exotic letters, like X and...

Playing a SW clone is awesome! You absolutely can recreate the small-squad tactics feel of Republic Commando. Cheers, -- N

Indeed, what is legal is not the same as what is polite, and being polite is often better. Hopefully Ryan contributes. He has a bit of experience in this area. :) Cheers, -- N

You are incorrect. Ideas can't be copyrighted. Words can, so I recommend you don't copy & paste anything original of his for this write up, but the rules for the first six levels of 3.x D&D weren't his words or his ideas. Cheers, -- N

DOOO EEEEEET! I'll be happy to give it a look-over and add some thoughts where relevant. Cheers, -- N

I played all the d20 versions, and IMHO the best one was Saga Edition. The book is funny shaped, but that's my only substantive complaint. Unlike earlier d20 editions, Jedi are NOT just plain better than muggles, yet they still feel fundamentally Jedi-like and are lots of fun to play. So, now...

I had a warpony... Cheers, -- N

Perhaps it's a consequence of the Snowflake Conservation Hypothesis*, which goes like this: Every NPC deviates from "normal" by a fixed number of traits. Unfortunately, since you're a sane male, "female" and "evil" are deviations which compete. To get around this, try building your NPCs by...

If y'all do this, you should do it as a set of core rules (the stuff that everyone agrees is core for E6), plus a bunch of variant house rules with discussion of the implications & complications each variant carries. Basically, like a PHB + Unearthed Arcana in a single tome. Variants that need...

The kind of people who like E6 would only read the first one-third of the book anyway. Cheers, -- N

When I voted, the ratio was 2:1:2. Soon after I voted, the 4e option grew by 200 votes. Remove those 200 votes and you get about the same 2:1:2 ratio as before. "Moral: Nifft shouldn't vote", -- N

Any intelligent weapon that can talk and read, bonus points if it has limited telekinesis abilities (mage hand at will). I would compel it to run games for my group. If it had prestidigitation at will, it could also help clean the house. Cheers, -- N

That's right, my username establishes that I could not have stolen the Lindbergh baby. :angel:, -- N

The important thing to remember is that shoes have more than just a brand: they also have a size. If 3.0 doesn't fit, try 3.5. If that's still too small, try 4. You owe an apology to all Yuan-ti and Hobbits. Cheers, -- N

I have 10 years of experience playing 4e. "Lying on my resume", -- N

Depends on the transitivity between "cloud" and brain activity. Since the brain tends to be a poor inductor, probably not much would happen. The body has its own signature, called oily "fingerprints". What would happen if you manipulated that? Answer: you could mess with people looking for that...
