    Relationship between Evils . . .

    I'll take that as a sincere compliment.:cool: The Warp Worm is derived from a creature in Where Madness Dwells; My own isn't written to straight Core Rules, so I always recommend the source (and it's free; can you beat that?). An older version of the adventure had the creature with a...

    Twist my Plot. Please!

    Ever see The One? Similar premise, completely different take (kinda Highlander meets Sliders). You could have it that these echoes exist in a limited reality. FREX: A Chaotic Evil echo would exist in a "ripple" where only pain, fear, hate, anger, and rage are represented in the living...

    Relationship between Evils . . .

    Gothmog said pretty much what I wanted to, although I'd add that "unmake the world" is probably a bit narrow in scope. More like "unmake all of creation". Speaking of Gothmog... From the Aedon Bestiary: Warp Worms, like all creatures of Madness Dark, do not belong to any part of Aedon’s...

    I DM Standing up

    I tend to do both, though the larger the group, the more I tend to remain sitting. (Personal Theory: If I can't see your face, the group is too big, and standing reveals more faces.)

    Katana wielding

    I always figured it was a defensive-fighting style; Catch and slide your opponent's blade to the left while opening your opponent to a slashing attack from the left, turning the return-motion of your block into an offensive strike. Not that I know a damn thing about katanas, but that was...

    What Bastion Press pdf Supplements do you use most?

    Minions: Rebirth (I was offline for a while, so I ended up doing my own 3.5 updates and I'm content with them as my own "spin" on Minions). Follow-up would be Ink & Quill, with some material derived from Norse Gods. (Is Oathbound in pdf? That would be so... Weird. Regardless, I play in...

    Get dressed already! (does your mage wear robes?)

    Depends on the Mage, in all honesty. I had one that wore nobleman's clothes, while another wore a robe. I had one that wore garb similar to a gypsy, and I've had one that wore skins and furs. Then there's my Oathbound PC's lover/cohort: NE Grey Elf Shaman/Witch/Mystic Theurge (5/5/2) that...

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    Actually, Nell, I think you are focusing on part of a definition; One that supports your views when taken out of context. For instance, consider Section 1g of the OGL which states: "Use", "Used", or "Using" means to use, Distribute, copy, edit, format, modify, translate and otherwise create...

    Why I Hate Unearthed Arcana

    Probably why I love it so much.;)

    Where do your monsters come from?

    DM's with no sense of verisimilitude.

    Where do your monsters come from?

    I'd say a bulk of the monsters "present" in my campaign are from the MM, although there are quite a few "basics" in it: Animals to Dragons, Goblins to Fiends, etc. Of course, there are a few that I don't use or those that I have renamed/redescribed (ex: Owlbears are called Gu'Nok Bears and look...

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    To comment on this, the idea for Aedon is to have complete rulebooks. That is, only the 3-Ring binders containing the Aedon Rules will, in the end, be all that we will require at the table. (Note that Aedon does not carry the d20 logo; Character Creation Rules are included.) My players do...

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    Actually, I did have a line of thought once that the whole Open/Closed/PI issue was just backwards. I think (opinion, pipe-dream, whatever...) that it would have been better if the product itself was declared untouchable copyrighted material but the contributor had a period of time (3-6 months)...

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    I agree... The topic of piracy does pop up in these discussions on occassion, and the subject is bound to derail the actual discussion. I think we can all agree that the sort of people that would download a scanned copy of UA (being a digital reproduction of the entire UA, covers, PI, and...

    How would you describe your style of play?

    "Minor Deviation", with the understanding that we've changed Core Rules and replaced with our own; but we do follow those rules most of the time. By comparison, I'd probably express my games as being 75% role-play, 20% problem solving, and 5% extreme bloody gore. If you check out the section...

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    Actually, I'm going to pull a part of your reply to Barsoomcore before addressing this... This is the "bad light" that AC put himself in. Also, I was only indicating why he received the flak he did; the statement itself is not flak. Alright... Threads sometimes gets two people at each other...

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    See, here we have two conflicting interests... Now bear with me, I'm just trying to explain this. See, we have essentially two choices: (1) Transcribe the material word for word or (2) treat it like "crippled" OGC where it is transformed into an outline (i.e., just the rule and specific...

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    No, it's one of the things the OGL was originally intended to do. You may want to go back the the beginning of this thread and take some notes; for instance, dispite my personal disliking of AC as a game designer, I've never villified him in this thread. At most, I indicated that his opinion is...

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    No, it's "pretending". "Public display" means just that. Do you think that was left in the OGL on accident? Actually, you never answered my question about the conditions of your "super module". Mind going back and finding it? Or would you just admit that your "moral stance" is simply that: a...
