I think the nature of many of the complaints are based on the fact that "100% Official" and "conforms to 3.5" don't necessarily have go hand-in-hand. In other words, the changes aren't so much about conforming to 3.5 as they were of conforming with a narrow view of what must be included in...

Sorry... You likely noticed I was wrapped up in a few threads, and I assumed that you started the thread in General... Considering how much I gripe about people that ass/u/me, I'll kick myself in the arse three times after posting. Hmmm... I'll have to add those to my "to read" list. (I've...

Three reasons... 1. Clean and easy mechanics 1A. Easily add more detail to processes 2. Plenty of options compliments of 3rd Party Publishers and Fans 3. I can put all of my rules online without getting slammed with a lawsuit

Barsoomcore: Just a quick FYI for ya... Word on the Erotic RPG Mail List has it that Robert Rodriquez (of Dusk 'till Dawn fame) is slated to direct Princess of Mars in the near future. Thought you'd like to know.

Okay, as I know that none of my players do the 'net thing, I'm going to post an Aedon Spoiler (if you live near Cape Coral, Fl, and are interested in playing in an "Aedon RPG" game, don't read): Absolutely! Kinda like being "tight fisted" over a "precious campaign" that is really "poorly...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Kalamar a licensed product during 2E? Ah... It was the "2E and Dark Sun" that confused me... No problem. That's basically what I'm talking about in my last post, yes. Generally, I see two other forums here: Rules and House Rules. The Rules Forum, by its...

Actually, it's the opposite: The more complex the language, the more specific the meaning. It's in not understanding the complex that gives rise to obscurity. Which is why I don't use grammer check. Spell check, on the other hand, is a great tool for the self-treatment of dyslexia. Yeah, but...

Actually, I think it's the opposite: People assume D&D when this is, in fact, a forum called General RPG Discussion. In addition, the previous Editions have a previously established standard that divergence from the Core is still D&D (Planescape, Birthright, Dark Sun, Ravenloft, etc.), so the...

That about sums up 9/10th of the debates on this forum, don't it?;)

Let's go back over the statements here... Me: Now, can someone explain why on Earth anyone would spend that much time building and running a game they don't like just for the sake of catering to every little whim or fancy that a player comes up with? You: <First Point Removed> Second, the...

This is strictly a problem with the player. If the player insists that everything has to be explained, the player is a problem. Really, why would I explain things time and time again when we are supposed to be playing the game? Which, as I said, is a player problem (in this instance, your...

And that's a good thing because it would obviously be wrong. However, saying "I want a good reason for [Option of Choice] not to be available or it should be there" is coming dangerously close to this point. This is side-stepping the issue. Let me rephrase: Why should I change my world from...

Promotes metagame thinking. Every time the PCs hear about or encounter a Druid, they'll be wondering about it. Best game-wise to just keep the info off the table. Or perhaps the character concept doesn't have him as a bumpkin. Should I force him into that situation? Or perhaps The Order...

See, this conversation keeps coming back to this point, and it's been acknowledged: A concept is almost always viable, it's a matter of how it's done. Now, if a player wants to play a Paladin in my game, it ain't going to happen cause they don't exist (actually, there are 12, but they are all...

Alright, here's a possible situation where it might look arbitrary but it isn't... In 2E, all Druids in a campaign were supposedly part of a world-wide organization of nature priests (The Order). In this organization, the Balance between Good, Evil, Law, and Chaos were crucial, far more...

It will be a sad day indeed when the need to keep a thesaurus on hand to read EGG's latest release is no longer a part of my life. Take care, good sir.

Egads! I wish this thread never existed! Just when this thing (Word) got me spelling better (I use flagged mistakes rather than auto-correct for self-improvement purposes and its worked rather well), now it's making me feel inadequate again. Like I wasn't already over-critical of my own...

Adventure-Based Advancement

Wheel of Time.:)

Sorry for the absence... We got a killer storm last night and the power was out; When it came back on, the DSL was still offline. Glad to see things are progressing though... This has got to be one of the most brilliant comparisons of the difference between CRPGs and table-top RPGs I've ever...
