Check this page out, it has some Dreamlands coversions as well as other CoC D20 stuff: http://members.aol.com/CountryGrrlHere/dreams.html

I forgot about this aspect of the square. I never caught on to it when I played through the module, but when I started running it every group of players I've had put that phrase together. Too bad it doesn't work. ;) Actually, I'm convinced that the square was just randomly picked from some...

This module is high in the running for my favorite ever. I definately prefer more high-magic, madcap fantasy to the grim n gritty stuff, and X2 definately qualifies as the former. I even used it to open my Glantri campaign, tying it into the setting enough that it served as an intro for the...

I didn't have this link, thanks! Also, Kershek (and others) check out rpgarchive.com. It's not exclusively D&D, but there's a lot of good stuff.

This is how I've generally done it in my campaigns. My last Mystara game, for instance, churches of radically different creeds could worship the same Immortal, possibly even unknowingly because the aspects were so radically different. This was due to the fact that the Immortals derived power...

I voted for WW2. I just see this setting as lending itself more to an extended quest type of campaign, whereas most Cthulhu campaigns go from one scenario to the next. If you're looking for ruin and suffering, the final days of the war in Europe (and even the postwar in many areas) should give...

I primarily listen to jazz and blues- I'd say that's probably half my collection of CDs, maybe two-thirds. Of course, I've got a lot of other stuff I listen to as well, just sort of picking what I like from different styles. There's some electronic, some pop, some country (well, just Johnny...

Isn't there already a thread about paladins having sex? I'm betting Alish wishes he'd invented Johann the old man commoner instead. :p Anyhow, most of the basic ideas have already been covered I think. One possibility is information, if the paladin's new to the area the girl might have some...

So, if I read the review correctly, the main differences are the generic classes and the dangerous magic system, am I right? How do the classes compare to other D20 classes? If, for example, I were to try and build a fighter or thief through talents and whatnot, would they be roughly the same...

I don't think much evidence is required to show that Chaosium modules are built for violence. They generally assumed a final assault on the cult or monster, and often didn't give any other means of solving the plot. Actually, I think a lot of the authors assumed that the investigators would have...

Chaosium has had several versions of the Dreamlands over the years; the latest is a slicked-up hardcover, which I don't think has any D20 material. So you'll have to do a fair bit of conversion. Monsters won't be too hard as the attributes are calculated the same. For spells, use the ones in CoC...

I'm also in the "50/50 on one adventure" crowd. Generally, I use published modules as a baseline, and then modify them heavily. When I ran Demon God's Fane, for example, I had to increase the power scale for my 16th level group, so I decided to still have the lich hanging around as the BBEG...

You might want to try this thread over at RPGnow: http://rpg.net/showthread.php?t=140818 I might be interested in getting a game together in St. Louis, but I honestly don't know how much longer I'm going to be around town. So it's kind of up in the air at the moment.

No argument here- like most republished campaign settings, a lot of the ground is retread. For someone like me, who didn't have the original, this was a good way to get the material (I'd rather have a book than a PDF). But I doubt that there will be much more new material than has been done for...

I must be the only one who liked the game, then. The flavor and writing were good, and it had a lot of useful information on both the setting and the period. I never had the original set, so I can't compare to what was done in that. I likewise don't have OGL Horror or Grim Tales, so I couldn't...

Thanks for the clarification, Est. It's the changes in Wrath of the Immortals that were throwing me, and all my stuff is packed away so I can't really consult it. And even after running Mystara for close to 20 years, I still get confused over the details. :p

Nope. Just been watching the boards, and know enough about the original stuff in the setting. (You were joking, right?)

I've also been thinking of running an LXG type game for Eberron. I've also thought of handing out AP during play, and might even switch over the Spycraft's action point system instead- I like how PCs can use action points to activate villain errors, for example. One thing I'd thought of for the...

The ship that crashed in Blackmoor was the Beagle; as for the engine, you're probably thinking of the Nucleus of the Spheres, which was the artifact left over from the ship millenia later on Mystara. It's kind of murky whether it was the Beagle itself or another device which caused the Great...

Well, I might give this a shot then. I'll go and take the test, at least. Thanks for the info, Merric!
