    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    Well, that was a "summed up" statement, but what you end up with as open is: All Charts, All Tables, All Stat Blocks, Spell Blocks, etc., and the rule itself. Essentially, it's a simple matter of re-explaining the rule in use. The rule, and everything about it, is the OGC. I have considered...

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    By contrast, however, I'm already using more from UA than I do from MotP, where as most other WotC books see no use at the table (actually, the only non-OGC material we use is from Oriental Adventures and the Book of Vile Darkness, plus the monsters from Manual of the Planes, all of which we...

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    Actually, going back to this point, wasn't it Ryan Dancey himself that, in early-January, was talking about an SRD+ project, one that would take the SRD and add-in material from a multitude of sources into one large depository of OGC? The OGF-L Server Archives aren't functioning at the moment...

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    Actually, no, this isn't "crippled" OGC. Crippled OGC is when re-use is made less viable. There are also "degrees" of crippled... For example: Name Identity Claims: "All Spells, Feats, Classes, and Prestige Classes are OGC; All names of Spells, Feats, Classes, and Prestige Classes is...

    The Culture of Third Edition- Good or Bad?

    Well, I get a little irate on page 4 or 5 (can't remember). This thread was mostly good for strawmen arguments and assumptions about worst-case scenarios, though. Sorry to disappoint...

    No problems... We have a "6 month buffer" at d20X as well. This one's personal, though.;)

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    There's also the idea of getting this material into our house rules and more thouroughly intergrated with the rest of the components. Considering the list I posted above (Environmental Races, the alt. Classes, Prestige Classes, Generic Classes, Complex Skill Checks, Character Background, Action...

    The Culture of Third Edition- Good or Bad?

    And a suitable reason to include a Paladin-ish Prestige Class or three (possibly using UA's Honor mechanics to determine one of the Prereqs). Of course, that's only in "my book", as the saying goes. In other words, I could easily houserule them in on that basis, but I would't expect another GM...

    Is the Unearthed Arcana SRD online?

    That would be the primary reason for me. Now, if you (Cergorach) would be kind enough to copy/paste requested parts (i.e., kindly send me Environmental Races, the alt. Classes, Prestige Classes, Generic Classes, Complex Skill Checks, Character Background, Action Points, Combat Facing...

    Gestalt characters in a normal game

    Oh, that reminds me of something else I thought of: Gestalt-style is perfect for solo games and 2-3 member groups. At the very least, it makes adjusting CR a little easier than for non-Gestalt and the PC has more of her own abilities to draw on without needing (occasional-to-frequent) help from...

    Gestalt characters in a normal game

    Agreed... To me, Gestalt Characters are more for settings akin to Dune or Amber, where a few individuals (such as a Noble Caste or the last survivors of a dying Race) are head-and-shoulders above everyone else. So, I haven't tried them (since incorporating them into Aedon would meen yet...

    Do DM's ever go on strike?

    Assuming that you aren't really gaming with an autistic-savant-dork, but rather with a "jerk", than I'm going to say "yes"... However, I don't tolerate it. Indeed, I'd be hard pressed to get the jerk out the door before the rest of the group does, and in situations where I'm a player and...

    The Culture of Third Edition- Good or Bad?

    Actually, we've been repeating ourselves since page four. This is actually the point where I start to throttle down on my own participation in a discussion, especially since the "opposing" side has pretty much had to resort to contradictory answers to side-step questions, as well fall back on...

    The Culture of Third Edition- Good or Bad?

    Exactly. That's really the role of psionics in the setting. To which, Paladins aren't a part of Dark Sun because "Good vs Evil" isn't the main theme of the setting; Rather, it was "Destruction vs Preservation" of the ecology/environment, for which Defilers/Preservers and (at higher levels)...

    Are you a Pseudo-Gamer?

    1. No 2. Playing, yes, but not more time than I spend transcribing, designing and planning. 3. No 4. No 5. No 6. Hell no 7. No 8. No.

    And Manual of the Planes, but I'd say it's still "core"... The core "base" rules, the core "psionics" rules, the core "planar" rules, the core "post-20th Level" rules, etc. The most seperation these rules really have is a prefix at the beginning of the file name; otherwise, all of these rules...

    Unearthed Arcana: un-sell me

    Interesting... I do see a few problems with it, however. First, it has d20 in the name (indicated as Product Identity in the latest SRD update and generally a frowned-upon no-no to begin with). Second, it seems to indicate a lot of "we have... we have...", yet there's very little I've...
