Good point - that's exactly what I want for those areas. And the northern tip of the Business District (which I might name the Financial District) above the downtown loop up by Fort Triton will have more of an "old world" street layout based on the layout of the early settlement, like around...

Yeah, things are a lot more spread out into suburbia on the West Coast than they are here in the Northeast. I remember that from my year living in San Jose. You successfully get by without a car in New York City, not so easily in Los Angeles. And borrowing from real world examples is a great...

Whatever it is, I hope a lunch is provided. B-)

A very good question, Janx, and thank you for complimenting my maps. B-) In retrospect, sandbox was a poor choice of words on my part. There's a reason they are referred to as the Marvel and DC Universes - the action takes place not only in a central city but across the globe, across time...

FYI: As a New Year's resolution, I finally got around to launching my ICONS blog, Just Add Heroes. I'll be continuing to develop the Grimm City campaign and maps from now on over there. Thanks again everyone for your interest! B-)

No News is Good News? Unfortunately in the Internet age, the only time you ever hear about anything is when you've done something wrong.

If the OP were dated July 2008, I'd probably agree. With an announcement of 5e by all indications eminent, and EN World being the premiere D&D news site, not so much... B-)

One can only hope that's true... Board Games & Card Games : How to Make an RPG (Role-Playing Game) - YouTube B-) Seriously though, I have watched some pretty awesome video tutorials at YouTube that have got me up and running with software like Scribus, FreeMind, and GIMP. And don't get me...

Yes you are absolutely right - I forgot about that. But if the GM is willing, you could probably just stunt increased velocity off of Wall Crawling as an option too. So probably not the best example. Again, we're more on the same page then I initially thought. Yes, the best Wall Crawling 10...

I agree with beverson, even though site traffic to that forum might not agree with my preferences. Still, I like knowing where to look and looking in one place. I still haven't seen any messages about new products and announcements from publishers yet elsewhere since the experiment started -...

That's not a bad little list to file away and try sometime. Thanks for sharing that! B-)

Yes they are both movement powers, much like apples and oranges are both fruits. But at the end of the day, the ultimate Wall Crawling 10 guy is not the guy I'm going to go to to get from New York City to the opposite side of the world in the blink of an eye. That's the ultimate Flight 10 gal...

Superman and Robin: "The Boy Wonder is - believe it or not - a frequent partner of Superman's. Yes, The Dark Knight's junior partner has teamed with Superman several times in order to counter crime. Sometimes Batman has been injured, and so Superman has done his friend a favor and watched over...

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Holidays! [Edit: I ran out of XP to give out! :( ]

Again, that's because Wall Climbing is not Flying. 9 apples vs. 9 oranges. ICONS is an "outside the D&D box" game. Don't get me wrong, I love that box through three editions, Pathfinder and a couple of retroclones (OSRIC, Labyrinth Lord). But I finally realized its core conceits can be...

True, but I'd also add that it's not much different than the challenge a GM faces in keeping a diverse party of bards, paladins, halfling thieves, clerics, dwarven fighters, elven wizards etc... challenged and spotlighted throughout an adventure and a campaign. A challenge, yes, but not an...

The first thing that popped into my mind about the Challs was their "we're living on borrowed time so lets band together" mind set. If I were thinking in terms of ICONS, I would have them pool all their Determination into Team Determination rather than have any individual Determination, and any...

In other words, you end up with a team of PC characters just like in the comics or cartoons, when you compare Superman to Robin for instance, yet they are still both members of the team. And both can shine and steal the scene with what they got in different ways. Unfortunately, D&D is so...

Well deserved, too! In addition to the great writeup, that was a pretty sweet layout you did as well! B-)
