Yuan-ti (perhaps with some oriental dragon-tainted blood for the royal line) are winning but only by a small margin. It's still a close race between Kalashtar, Gray Elf, and Yuan-ti. :cool:

D&D Earth Players start in a fantastical version of China at the beginning of the 13th Century. The world has no humans dominating everything so each culture is represented by a different group of humanoids (taking a cue from Eberron, I ignore the alignments from the Monster Manual). Southern...

All the Medium size humanoid races of ECL +2 or less.

Per Wikipedia: The Kamakura period (1185–1333) is a period of Japanese history that marks the governance by the Kamakura Shogunate, officially established in 1192 by the first Kamakura shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo.

The Kamakura period of Japan and the Shogunate. ;)

1. The Sunless Citadel - I've used it as a straight dungeon crawl, run my PC alongside inexperience players, and used its maps for homebrew games. 2. Forge of Fury - I played in this dungeon but the Dungeon Master (Jason Carl of Sword & Fist fame) modified it heavily with extra "atmosphere"...

In my Fantasy China game the players will start in the capital of the Song dynasty (Hangzhou) but I want there to be a cosmopolitan feel to the game. Therefore I need to flesh out the neighboring countries such as Korea and Japan. There are no humans in this game. The Setting So Far… Special...

You present a very interesting question. Should Future20 be a supplement to Modern20 like the Eberron Campaign Setting is an expansion to Dungeons & Dragons? Or, Is future, science fiction roleplay gaming better served by its own rules? In this case Future v.2.0 would be its own core rules...

D20 Wizards of the Coast already used this approach (D20 Apocalypse, D20 Cyberscape). Which means it should work fine. Perhaps you could differentiate your products by slicing the toolkits a little more narrowly. Would it work financially to separate cybernetics from VRNet and also from...

The King is Dead… (part 3) What are Imperial Jedi? The Emperor was driven slowly insane by his exposure to force ghosts. However, he had a special facility hidden on Coruscant that was shielded against the force ghosts. There he trained his Legacy. With the help of Tremayne and Mara Jade as...

The King is Dead…Long live the King! Anything interesting The Skywalkers are supposed to bring balance to the force but it’s not really clear in the movies what is the imbalance (other than bad guys are in charge instead of good guys). In my game the restoration of the force is a primary...

The King is Dead…Long live the King! Facts explicitly shown in the original versions of Episode IV, V, and VI are valid canon. Almost all of the on-screen action of Episodes I, II, and III are true. :heh: Other items I use at my whim. Many published materials about the Empire depict them as...

QFT. Too bad D&D mostly gives us Good fey Radical Environmentalists.

I care nothing for Winter Fantasy and I really don't want to wait almost four (4) more months for greater information.

I don't subscribe to conspiracy theories and I understand that Wizards of the Coast feels that milking previews is somehow "good". Given the facts dug up by Riley I hope that we start getting 4th edition information faster and in greater volume, ASAP. :heh:

Human nature being what it is this poll will be heavily pro-folklore. I believe it was JRR Tolkien who studied the fact that similar myths exist across cultures (for example, a dwarf race). The closer that an author's fiction matches universal "stories" with a fresh twist the more likely...

Star Wars Saga Edition skill rules are superior to Dungeons & Dragons skill point buy system. Low level NPCs can be skilled artisans and trained-only skill checks handle the +1/2 level oddities.

That's very kind, thanks! :D Funny, for about a week now I've been mentally building a campaign set in Victorian times with a Stargate that leads to the Forgotten Realms map (a post-apocalyptic version of it). It would feel very similar like a gateway leading to ruins, monsters, and a few...

Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition is its own beast. I'd like to stay true to the design goals of this project and avoid distractions like AC versus Reflex Defense. I vote for Saga rules.

Since feats, after E6, are like adding levels what if Level Adjustment monsters created a feat debt (that need to be repaid) as part of the Point Buy solution offered earlier?
