This is just Monte thinking outside the box again.....and I am glad he is. :) Just bought Ptolus, AWESOME book, it's my new love and I don't even like D&D all that much, so I am going to use True20 with it. One of my biggest reasons why I don't like D&D that much is the spellcasting system...

And I'm the opposite, I think Runequest would be a better fit for Conan than the current d20 verison of the game.

Mine is Alternity, hands down. IMHO, the best dice mechanic system ever devised that could represent many possible situation modifications with as easy as it was. I don't know all of the Indie games published so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but to me it's the best. Alternity...

Alterntiy, hands down. I think the system designed for Alternity is one of the best ever. Simple, straightforward, and a blend of profession and level based experience with character points. I liked it. I wish another company would buy the rights for it and put it out again. It deserves a...

I'm a Gurps fan over D&D, but for a starting GM (like myself as I am just getting into Gurps as well) I am finding that it does require a whole lot more prep time to get a game going, or at least it feels that way since I've been playing D&D since 3.0 came out. So, 5 years plus D&D, just got...

Where do you get the quickstart guide for true20?

I'm just happy and glad that they are working on a new edition....period! I'm sure most of us thought the game was dead, so I'm excited that there's a new edition coming out. I'm getting it.

I got the Campaign Planner Deluxe from dtrpg for $15, 93 pages of forms and tables to help consolidate information. This product is definately intended to help a DM focus his mind. It has forms for a listing of deities and portfolios under the deity, a form for which books the DM allows (so if...

I can't get into her books either, no matter how hard I try, and I've pushed myself through some rather bad boooks. Her style just comes off really dry...same reason I haven't read the Lord of the Rings, just really dry and bland.

Zathura was a funny movie and well done. Not as good as Jumanji, but for what it was, being a space adventure, it did a darn good job. I was laughing quite a bit. Jumanji is a 8 where Zathura is a 6.5. Both worth watching, but Zathura is a matinee where Jumanji is a friday night date with a...

What's RAW? I have no clue what this means. You are right about one person saying one thing and another saying another... unfortunate it happens a lot, but you are right on that. Then arguments happen and nothing gets solved and life goes on anyway and all this argument shouldn't be happening...

I based my decision on the alignment in question, and what that alignment itself dictates. I'm not gonna read a thread that's 500+ posts long to formulate what I'd do. Way too much time to read people argue back and forth the same points they said on page 1 all the way through page 10+...

I think one problem with the Paladin and D&D is that the D&D game, by the core rules, is that the alignments system a game of absolutes and fundamental forces and not really based on behavioral attitudes. Asking questions of "What is good?" and "What makes up a lawful society?" while good...

Well, I don't have a group right now, so I don't have to really worry right now. Sounds like Grim Tales is a toolkit approach to campaign building, am I right? If so, then I'll probably go that route. Plus, it's cheaper than d20Modern I am assuming. I have neither but both interest me. I...

All I know is that this sucks but time. I might have not liked his style, but I sure respected him as one of the top athletes in the business. Total bummer.

I am asking this because I know what's in d20 Modern but I don't know what Grim Tales is except its heavily influenced by d20 Modern. What makes one better than the other? Which do you all prefer?

All this sounds like a really cool sci-fi game, one I am sure I'm going to pick up eventually. :)

Those three above are the ones I've vote for based on the criteria you've listed. All three are amazing, do the job, and are damn fun.

What are all the books in the Dawning Star line and what do each of the books provide to the gamer? How much are they? Just a couple questions a curious mind wants to know. :)

I've been a fan since the original, but I've never had the chance to play it. I want to, oh so very much. My favorite archetypes are the dwarf combat mage and a troll physical adept. :)
