Very quality. It all reads differently now that I've been hanging about the city off and on for over a year. Seeing the places referenced and whatnot. Now I miss Modern gaming again. KAAHHHNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!! --fje

Personally, I like what they did with it in lieu of totally screwing it up. I mean, they could have said: "Let's revisit Dark*Matter, but we'll reimagine everything from the ground up! All new content!" Which, frankly, would have probably turned me off unless they had me write it. ;D The...

It works in D&D the same way, but the text explaining it is a little less clear on the fact. As opposed to the d20 Modern SRD - They're the same thing, different wording. The Modern one specifically says that you get your move action, but you'll notice that the D&D Ready is a "Standard...

Actually, that's how Ready already works. You take your move action and "ready" your Standard Action to go off when the specific condition is met. So soldier moves onto battlefield expecting trouble ... he takes his move action and readies his Standard Action to "shoot any badguys attempting...

Aaaarrrrrrrr, Jim Lad, it be feedback ye seek, I ken. Well, if I'm reading the undertone correctly, the point of this is to make a PrC based on the Alternity tradition in the same vein as the PrCs presented in the d20 Dark*Matter book, correct? Which, this looks like it does that. I can't...

I need to alert the publisher that I'm winding up on the MS, but I'm about 70% done with SFX Skills: Hermetic Alchemy. Hermeticism was one of my least favorite of the traditions. It always felt a little "2nd Ed D&D Wizard" ... Fly, Sleep, Iron Bands of Billaro/Hold Person, Homunculus ... and...

I think the additional material makes the book a little more useful this time around to PLAYERS of Dark*Matter ... which can be a good thing ... player books sell better than GM books, all across the board. If players see it as something they can pick up for extra races, feats, options and...

Because not everyone is of the opinion that SC2.0 is a "better" game. I, for one, don't see the need to unlearn D20Modern to learn a new, very different, system that doesn't improve a whole lot. I know and work with d20Modern already, and I know how to get it to do everything I want it to do...

I bought the new D*Md20 book today. And ... well ... :( I knew what I was getting into, anyway. 99% of the useful stuff is reprinted material from the original text ... up to and including the good art. (There are some other pieces of good art in there, and I'm not sure if any of them are...

That combat I hadn't cast any buffs, they were in place from earlier. It's a party of clerics. Literally. We all have at least three levels of cleric. We've got clerics spending slots on AoE spells. There's love to go around. I do the Hero's Feast for breakfast for everyone and keep a...

Rod of Absorbtion, why didn't I think of that? :) Now, to save up 50,000gp. I think we have two items in the whole party worth that, at this point. The fighter-type's Holy Mage-Bane Dwarven Waraxe +1. And my Legacy item. And neither of those were paid for through normal means. It's a...

I'm playing a melee combat cleric and a few times in the last few fights I've found something unfortunate. Targeted Dispell Magic can wreak absolute freaking havok with melee combat clerics. One targeted dispell just runs through every single spell with a pretty good chance of hitting each...

Adamant Entertainment approached me and said: "Would you like power, fame, and riches beyond your wildest imaginings?" And I said: "Yes, my Dark Masters, yes!" And they replied: "Well, you're probably not going to get there writing supplemental products for RPGs, but drop us an email...

Depends on the type of people your players are and the kind of game you like to run. If everybody wants to agree that everything happens in full dollar amounts, that nobody will play the stock market, no-one gets credit cards, etc etc, it would work out just like D&D or any other game that...

And the bigger point is, the Wealth system is supposed to be a fast, easy, and dice-interactive method for doing something that is very complex (track modern finances in the age of investments, credit, direct-deposit, and trust funds) ... not a system of "perfect realism". It's akin to...

D20Modern has only one "core" product, the d20Modern Core Book. It's a PHB, DMG, and MM all rolled into one. Beyond that it's all add ons. :) Now, how core those are depends entirely on what kind of game you want to play. --fje

I think it is less the +5 Greatsword and more the +1 Flaming Holy Adamantine Greatsword. Tis foolish to spend good gold on +s when you've got a cleric you can strong arm into casting Greater Magic Weapon on yer goodies. --fje

The three classes that got cut were classes I saw not getting alot of play time. So I can't say as they're wrong. I'm one of those people that don't find VP/WP any sort of improvement over HP/MDT. I've done the skill-compression thing for my own games, so, good improvement there. And I'll be...

Seems like a crap feat, myself. There's loads better feats out there and most spells of any decent level will do more damage on their own than the attack+xd4 is going to deal. Unless your caster level is really low, and then you're going to get better benefit from that spell slot by plugging a...

Well in the adventure, the point isn't really to fight and kill the Winter Demon. The point is to SURVIVE the Winter Demon by outsmarting the situation. From running the adventure, it seems like most groups eventually try to fight the thing with fire, and the notes on fighting it say that it...
