I gotta agree with Belen on this... Your willingness to accept "flavor" seems to have a direct relation to replacement crunch. I also agree that one player can ruin the fun for the other players; I've experienced that first-hand several times over (indeed, such experiences shaped my philosophy...

That's how I see it. Ehr, don't see it... Whatever.

If you are the sort to reconsider every possible rule when provided with a new option, than I extremely recommend putting this off until you are planning your next campaign. If, however, you can control yourself to, at most, change only one or two things no matter how tempting everything in the...

In addition to what Dogbrain posted, I'd add that it's also a question of "muddying" the waters of the SRD... That is, the SRD is "The Core" while UA is a collection of variants and options. Granted, they could have released a "side" document, but they certainly didn't have to (and, to be...

Hello, my name is Jimmy and I'm also a rules lawyer. Granted, I don't use the Core Rules as-written, but the rules I use are the rules, and I'm often a stickler about them in every situation. I also find that I'm more of a stiff about it as a GM than I am as a player as I believe in the "GM is...

See how much work you've just saved me?;) The "legalities" is one of the reasons I'm willing to set up a private forum; We can "get it wrong" in private and fix any errors prior to releasing it in public.

Actually, I did type a reply to this before, but the web was acting up and it was lost... The concept itself? No. If that were true, we'd likely still be playing 2E (or, at the very least, not "running" 3E/d20 games); If anything, I switched to d20 because the rules did mesh better and were...

Actually, though, this raises the question (yet again) of why a published setting (with it's own flavor) is held to a different standard than a homebrew setting (with it's own flavor)? The fact that a "professional" campaign is accepted as-is and that a GM's campaign is questioned shows a lack...

Isn't that because scanning/OCR'ing it and then sending it to you without editing out the PI and Closed material first an OGL violation? Whomever did the scanning would have to make it a legal-copy before sending it to you or anyone else; they make a mistake and that copy got into circulation...

Actually, folks that haven't seen this thread may want to take a gander...:cool:

I think the book is a tad off on a few points. For instance, the rates you cite would (in my mind) be related mostly to a short-term, high-risk assignment (as "roaming" mercenaries seems more the books focus despite having the soldier-styled Legionaire Class). I pretty much always go with a...

Indeed! Bravo!

Actually, I was just making a little joke at FR's expense. However (!)... ...This post has caught my interest... ...And that one has just about ensured a sale (I always look before I buy, but now I want to look!). Between this and Ubris, I'm kind of in awe... In the same 28 day period I've...

Yes.

So lower the concept and you've got Forgotten Realms? ;)

I voted counters, mostly because I (as GM) see them as a needless expense. My players, however, are invited to use one for their PCs assuming they ever find one that looks like their characters, which they've yet to do.

I voted Dark Sun/Player's Option, but that was for 2E and shortly after 3E with a conversion that worked on its own but didn't mesh well with the d20 System. I didn't vote for currently, though. Granted, I use 3E Psi (and will likely switch to 3.5 Psi once I see it), but it's been reflavored...

Another vote for Twilight 2000... Although I think Twilight 2015 would be a little more long-lived (2010 has a shelf-life of 6 years ;) ).

AEG's Mercenaries. It's one of my most-used books.

Another write-in vote for "varies by campaign".
