    [Star Wars d20] Let's see some published campaigns!

    Has anyone heard about the possibility of the reason that they are now releasing something in 2007 is that the current contract is/has expired and they were able to negotiate a more realistic one that is more feisable from a RPG product standpoint? Major slip-ups like no support for...

    [Star Wars d20] Force Power Cheat Sheet?

    If someone is willing to point out all of the errors on this sheet, I can open it and edit them out, then resave as a PDF for your use. I figure if someone has already noted the errors, it saves me the time of being the editor too. :)

    Dice: How often do you buy them?

    One of my players from the high school game I DMed gave everyone a set of dice for christmas, and I still use those. They are awesome. But that was over ten years ago. :o I purchased a set of dice to match them (ivory to match the onyx set I was given) about six years ago. I've been thinking...

    PS3 600 dollars? Sony is on crack

    I think the retail video game & rental market players will force them to sink that idea, assuming that this is not just a rumor/misinformation anyway. Places like Game Crazy or EB would be looking at a huge hit to their current business strategy that promotes used games... half or more of their...

    Question about SATA drivers on Win XP

    In my experience, personal and professional, I've only needed a special driver for XP with SATA controller cards (PCI or otherwise). If the motherboard has SATA connectors on it, I've only seen options in the BIOS to choose between IDE and SATA as primary boot. I've never seen a board that makes...

    Mutants and Masterminds - Move up to 2nd edition?

    I played in a 1e and now a 2e campaign, and the biggest thing I think needs mentioning that has not already been very well covered above is that the conversion document from Green Ronin is completely worthless if you're just starting with the 2e rules. It literally did more harm than good for...

    How many homebrew adventures have you written?

    I didn't count adaptations to modules, even if 90% of that was homebrew changes/rewrites. From the ground up, I've can really only lay claim to around 20 or so adventures that were totally mine. My want to play outweighs my time available to write, so I use pre-generated material as much as I...

    Counterspelling -- Does It Work?

    I've only used it as a DM, and only when the NPC in question had a chance to interrogate survivors of those involved in combats with the PCs or had been attacked themselves and survived. That way, they have a realistic chance of being able to predict what spells they may be casting. I've...

    At what level do you start your campaigns?

    I always - *ALWAYS* - start them as level-0 henchmen, and only if they carry their bags correctly, brush down the horses at EVERY inn, and get the proper adventurer NPCs tea made just the way they like it, can they level up to Level 1. :lol: You forgot the option of "depends on the campaign"...

    Does anybody use Master Maze for their gaming?

    Two DMs I know actually bought them when they first came out (One got a discount from the distributor because he worked there), and I have played with them in a few different ways. Here's my experience and stand on each, including alternatives I've seen/tried: 1. Master Maze: Bring them out and...

    Ptolus - Six Days Early!

    ...I'm about to loose control and I think I like it.

    Best Playing Aids: Nominations

    I nominate a website/newsletter: Johnn Four's Roleplaying Tips Weekly He complied the first few years of them onto a indexed and searchable CD. It is awesome and well worth the money. The newsletter is free, which makes it even BETTER! :)

    Why _DON'T_ You Buy Dragon Magazine?

    I'm not really part of the target audience either... I don't play Eberron at all and as a DM I dislike feats/PrCs that are not from the core books on principle. Dungeon, like everyone else says, is awesome. Dragon strikes me like a piecemeal "Complete Book of..." from 2E days, which lights the...

    Star Wars: Heroes of Another Kind

    Dragon and Dungeon as PDF?

    By that token, one could also argue that article by article could be made available, like tracks of music rather than the entire album. That may be a more realistic avenue than the entire magazine, especially if you include full pages of advertisements included in the documents. The problem of...

    Dragon and Dungeon as PDF?

    It is one part of the larger arguement that includes cost, price and market realities. Since everyone else made the points for the other parts, I did not repeat them. The major sticking point is simply reading text, not the use of content or reference there-of. It is easier on the eyes and more...

    Dragon and Dungeon as PDF?

    I would respond by saying that those people probably never saw or forgot the fiasco that was E-Books. The moral of that story was that, in general, people will not choose digital copies of text over physical copies of text. You can give them away for free, and they STILL will choose a paper copy...

    Dragon and Dungeon as PDF?

    I like the idea of being able to get PDFs of the books/mags. A DM I play under recently stated that underwater combat was going to be modeled under 1st edition rules as a base. Rather than trying to scan my DMG for the spell casting rules to show the group (most of which hadn't even SEEN the...

    Running D&D for the first time (or so it seems to me!)

    Dungeon is a great source of new adventure ideas these days... by all accounts that mag is seeing some of its best days thus far. I like to read through my DMG (both for 3.5 & 1st editions) to get back to basics. Like you, my games seem to veer away from "D&D" into my own stylized version which...
