Having an AP that is all in the Arctic Cold...or the Arid Desert sands of a world similar to Dark Sun... or one that is entirely set within a Gigantic Urban City with multiple Factions and Sides and gang wars and political backstabings and things like that... No Planar Hoping, No Outsider BBEG...

I think with the nature of the game that buffs are depended upon way too much, and monsters and certain encounters are created with the assumption that a spellcaster with access to buffs are mandatory to the success of the encounter. All of this I can't really stand because it shows a...

I will simply say that it depends on the maturity level of the players involved in the game. If you can find a group of players that won't treat romance and love as a simple form of teenage puppy love and then play their characters out as sluts (like the last group I was in) then it might be...

Sorry ya'll, this trophy goes to Spiderman 2 as the best trailer of the last five years, followed in a distant second is Revenge of the Sith and in third place is Spiderman 3. I'll give Ghost Rider and Return of the King and Batman Begins as nominal attempts at being the greatest, but this is...

I prefer point buy because in my mind everyone begins on equal footing. Someone can specialize in one or two stats, but no one is great in all of them. I also like to randomly roll, but I do it like this. 3 columns, 4d6-L 6 times per column, reroll 1's one time. After the three columns are...

I'm a BIG fan of the original, not none of this new anime influenced crap cartoons that we are seeing nowadays. The original is awesome, but after seeing the new megatron it's not really based on the original, is it? Perhaps they are going for something totally different for most of the...

Besides the bickering going on in here... Can someone tell me what is all in the book besides the new Adept class and the mistake in the writing of the natural armor bonus (which, IMHO, should stack with other natural armor a person of any race would already have). What else is in the book?

Is this the first game he's ever played in an rpg? If so, give him a break and talk to him, see what his motivation is. If it's that crap that 'real' men are evil because being good is lame and boring, then still talk to him but that the next time he does go against the social contract of the...

I don't think it's overpowering, just like the wizard isn't overpowering when it gets his massive killing spells and the cleric has almost unlimited healing ability, etc. This is D&D. There is no balance. There is no such thing as too overpowering... unless the DM runs the game that way! ;)

I like this book for the different feel it brings to the game, and it is even making me think of tinkering with all the core classes a bit so each of them also gain maneuvers, except the wizard and sorcerer due to their lack of martial focus. That way, the martial maneuvers becomes more...

For a rant thread there's not too much ranting going on. :) I shall therefore rant for me and perhaps other DMs that feel like they just don't get enough appreciation for all that they do by their players. First, I think part of it comes down to the personalities of the individual people...

Sometimes when I have began a campaign, sometimes I tell players to create their characters and then go from there in designing the campaign, and other times I've made detailed character handouts, player information and house rules into a document (sometimes in excess of over 25 pages...

After seeing these images I will still go and see the movie, but the original news I heard (over a year ago) is that they were basing the look of the transformers on the original cartoon... I guess that's a big flipping dissapointment. The last thing I wanted to see was an anime influence into...

I liked DMC more than the first, granted, but I didn't expect it to do so well... unless we consider that this year there isn't a whole lot for DMC to compete with. Next year, however, will be a total different year for blockbuster movies.

That's cool. I was wondering if it'd ever come out. :) I'm glad it is.

Like others, if its a one shot, I will make the characters. If it's just a dungeon hack (ick) then anything is allowed cuz I just don't really care. I don't usually do dungeon hacks though. If it's a more immersive campaign, with the potential to have substantial roleplaying and opportunities...

Cool idea, but since you originally posted this for 3.0 psionics and not the XPH, could you kindly repost it with the updated rules since the new rules don't use psionic modes and the monk class was redone slightly a bit. Up to you. Your idea is awesome, by the way. I like the versatility and...

I think someone should combine the Warlock with the Spellcaster from True Sorcery from Green Ronin. We'd have those minor abilities the Spellcaster can use at will, which, instead of class abilities, should (or can) be just unique magic skills. Then you have the Spells, which the Spellcaster...

I kind of did this once... for each natural critical failure or success the character got in a skill roll, that skill got a tick. Once they got so many ticks, they got a permanent +2 circumstance bonus to that skill. The number of ticks I dictated depended on how often the skills were used...

My .02 cents. I've owned both, tried both, and like both. Add in Grim Tales, and we have three really cool systems that can emulate much of which any three can play. If.... Spycraft 2.0 had been named Moderncraft 2.0, or just Moderncraft, then we would not be having the discussion of saying...
