The casting in this movie is definately ominous... Every since Pulp Fiction, every time I saw Tim Roth in a movie I immediately thought "there's the guy for a John Constantine movie." How hard would it have been for Hollywood to make this connection? :\

Are you talking about 3.0/3.5 psionics? If that's the case, then no, or at least not without a lot of adaptation. SA uses a "skills and feats" system similar to Force powers in Star Wars- entry level feats grant access to psionic powers in the form of skills. Since there arent' individual powers...

My longest-running 2e character (I've mostly DMed 3rd ed) was a CN illusionist. He was a sort of surrealist artistic type, using magic to try and alter reality (or at least the perception of it) around him. He was fond of experimentation (both magical and chemical) and large quantities of magic...

I more or less play it by the book, but take a different spin on things IMC. Without getting into the whole "D&D is low/high/meridian magic" or "magic is the same as science" topics, I do think that the ready availability of healing magic at lower levels will have an impact on the death rate in...

Well, I was going to suggest Island of the Damned, but... nevermind. :p WotC has the old Ravenloft adventure Ship of Horror for free on their downloads page- http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/downloads They used to have Night of the Walking Dead, which would be much better for your...

Someone set up a Modern webring a while back: http://j.webring.com/hub?ring=d20modernwebring

Pretty cool! Another option for the end would be to have more than a couple of survivors- movies like Scream, for instance, seemed to have 3 or 4 people make it out alive sometimes. Another idea I had was to have the last round of people all definately be innocent, and to have someone who was...

I think they're talking about the Greater Finesse ability; it seems to be a natural progression of the swashbuckler's chosen weapon type. I checked the books and there's no Greater Weapon Focus listed in either D20 Modern or Urban Arcana, so it's definately a misprint. No official erratta that...

Put me in the "old adventures work better now" camp. I've run updated versions of Castle Amber (my personal favorite), Skarda's Mirror, Cult of the Reptile God, the Assassin's Knot, Tree of Life, Where Chaos Reigns, and Night's Dark Terror. I didn't have any trouble adapting them at all, and for...

I don't know how the campaign creation is set up in Stargate, but a solution for Spycraft could be to only have the Masterminds be able to use action dice to crit. That way you don't have to worry about the PCs getting dropped by a henchman's lucky shot- only the Big Bad can actually kill a...

For Historical Fiction, the first thing that immediately popped into my mine was The Killer Angels by Michael Shea. It's the book that the film Gettysberg was based on. It's very well done, not too heavy on the military history aspect of things, and probably represents parts of US history that...

I think my current favorite would have to be Codename: Kids Next Door, and I'm surprised no one's mentioned it yet. It's sort of like the Spycraft version of Harry Potter, kids team up to Fight the Power of Evil Adults. And there's no way they'd sell out! :p Otherwise, I'd agree with the...

Got it. Thanks Ghost! Err, Ghostmoon. :p

Near as I can tell, the whole jet engine/alternate future scenario is more or less what's supposed to have happened. Unfortunately, the movie doesn't really bother to explain any of this, instead focusing on Donnie's difficulties in dealing with life and those around him. I think of it as more...

I would like a copy actually, I think I missed this one the first time around. My email is in my profile. Thanks!

I remember reading somewhere on the boards that RPGnow had gotten rid of hosting free downloads due to bandwidth considerations. The Enworld download page has a link for the module at the top of the menu on the left. However, the link leads to the old d20reviews.com site. Possibly some...

Welcome on board! It's hard to give specific suggestions for spells before a campaign starts, because every campaign is different. Different spells are going to be more or less useful, depending on how the DM runs things. Things like the "sonic fireball" are also open to DM interpretation, so...

Ok, again I haven't read the story hour, so this is going to be sort of vague. Basically, try to set up the second problem in a way so that solving it makes the first one more difficult. For example, several people have mentioned having some sort of mine or other resource in the area. Let's say...

I like the ideas here. Especially the adventure idea of getting stranded in a town full of slightly deformed, superintelligent people who all look slightly similar. Someone get Rod Serling in here... Anyhow, here's some thoughts. When I first read about the need to reset the bloodline, it...

Demonstrations- lots of demonstrations. People showing off new spells, new components, new processes, or just showing off for the masses. Especially flashy magic such as illusions or transmutations. In one fair I ran, there was an illusion demonstration for a crowd, showcasing different monsters...
