Because I really have nothing better to do ;) I've put up the last of my little information pages before the game starts, information on the forbidding No Man's Land. Now you can know a bit about the terrain before you get yourself lost in there. You don't need to read any of the info pages to...

I've tried to do a heist twice, and not been happy with the results in either case. Both times the PCs were at a loss and would have just gone in guns (metaphorically in one case, literally in the other) blazing if I hadn't had an NPC come along and "suggest" a heist that would get them past...

You know I actually thought the attacks were much too low at first, but I sort of came around when I realized how epic and high stakes it was for the PCs to fight off wave after wave of enemy forces, where a string of really good rolls could bring a PC down, but they fought and won despite the...

One of those simple things that I somehow never thought of. I'll have to try it out some day, sounds cool! Makes it really important to get your attack stat up high enough to hit that sweet spot. I wonder how it it will mesh with bounded accuracy. It seems like monster defenses and PC attack...

I've done something like that before in a d20 modern game. I thought weapon skills (and combat skills in general) would be wildly more popular with my players than other skills, but was pleasantly surprised to find it less so than I'd anticipated. Part of that was probably the fact that the...

I missed that you were asking for a setting! I only have experience with a few, but they all had their ups and downs. Since choosing a setting is even more a matter of taste than choosing a system, I'll just say what I liked and disliked about each. Forgotten Realms: Almost anyone with even a...

Character Roster - EN World: RPG News & Reviews You can make a new page or comment in the roster, and I'll add the new page myself. Either works.

I'd actually really consider the D&D 5E playtest. Not a whole lot of customization options for the veterans, but then it's all new so they still have some unfamiliar toys to size up and begin exploiting. And it's fantastically new-user friendly. For a group that's looking for a long term game...

Oh man, thank you! I can work around them for now, just knowing the issue is enough to get me started, and again I really am grateful to you guys putting in the work on this project. I tried debugging punctuation, looked at ? and ! and so on, but for some reason apostrophes didn't occur to me...

I'm loving the generator, but I'm having another problem. Twice now, when editing my Harmless Magical Mishaps table, I've tried to save the edits only for a "database error" to occur and I lose all my progress. It's especially annoying because incremental progress is hard to save, since the...

It seems like the rats and kobolds in the playtest were WotC sticking a toe into those waters. 6 rats attacking a single person could get condensed into a single attack, with a single roll and a single source of damage. No other fuss necessary, although their hp are counted separately. I like...

Loving the equipment list! Seems like Ortley is going to be quite the versatile wizard.

The minisheet is mostly used in combat, though occasionally you might include it in scenes with a lot of skill interaction. Other than that you don't need to post it in every post, no. In other forums I have people put it in their sigs, but that isn't possible for all of us here. :( Depending...

I was always raised with octopuses one-true-wayism, but after a little searching around there seems to be a delightful little spat between linguists about which is correct, and why. I have declared allegiance to the camp claiming that "octopi" comes from a mistaken belief that "octopus" is...

Agreed with bogmad, though I can't xp you. For most games, combat is a pretty big part of the game, but not the only part (IME). Those games will use Specialties and Backgrounds. Some games will want to refocus a bit towards the other pillars, and don't want to overburden their character...

I added them as their own pages, yes, and those are the official and to-be-updated versions. Include the rest of your equipment there, and update the page as things change. You could also post things like ongoing conditions as they happen. If you want to delete the comment version, go ahead...

Lol, quote recognition fail. And on such a classic. :blush: Since I've exhausted my expertise on nuclear weapons engineering, I think that I'll let your last word on our gunpowder cannon nuke stand. :) I still think that America after the fall would be lousy with guns, especially in inner...

At the risk of beginning to discuss real world politics, those who are concerned about Iran's nuclear weapons program disagree about fission bombs not being worthy of discussion.

All you need to to is accelerate a subcritical mass into another subcritical mass, so that the result is a critical mass. A cannon would do, and they were making cannons long before we had modern welding. Again, not a nuclear engineer, just going off what I've learned. Really?

Ah, the old fallback of gun control. Can't control the guns so you go after the ammo. ;) In seriousness, yes, the firearm situation is not actually an obstacle for my suspension of disbelief. I was just pokin' fun.
