550 posts in 6 months does not make you a lurker.:p (P.S. Should have the Fell done for you by Monday.)

Yeah, but you made me chuckle anways...

The only people that are "gung-ho" are the folks with OCR capability, and they don't seem to be sharing. Myself, I'm gung-ho for doing the parts I'm using, of which I'd gladly contribute those parts to anyone compiling an SRD or, for that matter, wants the material for their own works. As is...

Ah, but you see, there is a license, and by the terms of that license, they have already said "yes" by the very act of using it. No one has yet given a single valid reason why I, using the license as it was written, should have to ignore their original "yes" and provide them with a pointless...

I would define that as "universal". d20 is far from universal; the basic premise of its entire scaling system is based on a default environment. However, this does not prevent the system from being "generic" enough to remove a "default" component and replacing it with a component more suitable...

To date, I've yet to use any of those four. I've never used a rust monster, either. I doubt I've got even a quarter of the MM flagged for use (and that's between two different campaigns with only a little overlap between them). This is primarily why I'm always buying monster books; I look for...

That about sums up my advice...

I would agree that Buffy is a bad example of this theory and relating it (a story centered on one character) to an RPG (a group event). A better analogy to me would be ST:TNG, in which the characters routinely exchange what character type they are depending on the story-line and focus of the...

Ouch... Guilty as charged.

Honestly? I think it's both. That is, for the sake of "heroic fantasy", it's practicly (but not necessarily) essential. On the other hand, to change the tone of d20 (i.e., darker fantasy, grittier fantasy, more "plausible" fantasy, etc.), this lack of realism needs to be reigned in, so to...

To answer each question except the last, I'm going to say no. I view world creation and campaign management as the realm of the GM. If he asks for help and I'm suitably inspired to do so, I likely will. But if not asked, it doesn't even cross my mind. If I make some choices that are...

The Junior High Flashback was the last thing I needed today, thank you very little.

"Better" would be subjective, although I've found it's "better" at achieving certain in-game effects (mostly making Criticals more dangerous and allowing mooks the occasional lucky shot, which generally makes combat a less viable option than usual). The basics of my system can be found in the...

MEG's Hunt: RoE has a Blood-Magic system in it.

Please don't give WotC any more reasons not to make their OGC freely available.:p

Every day, I like D&D a little less and d20 a little more...

I do similar, although the creature summoned is composed of the energy of a plane (thus why they have their planar traits, alignment, etc.). Sometimes a little eraser goes a long way.;)

I gotta say, I prefer this method... Now you got me thinking about using it.

That's about the clearest piece of gaming wisdom I've read on these (or any!) boards in quite some time.
