Dragonstar and Fading Suns dont look right for my gaming group. When we play Modern or Sci-fi, we like to avoid mixing fantasy with either of those genres. Which version of Traveller is the most recent, and which version receives the most support? Will the newest version be around for a...

No super-hero games. Looking for sci-fi or modern only. I have heard of Traveller. So there are two versions of traveller right now? The d20 version, and the original version? Which one is getting more support, which one is better, and which one will be around longer? Btw, I dont want to...

Can anyone recommend a good sci-fi based or modern based RPG? The only criteria I have for a new game would be that the game has a good chance of being around for a while. I dont want to buy a bunch of books for a game that disappears in a year. If you can, please provide a link to the game...

Considering you wont take WOTC material, you have harpooned your own question. There is no anti-WOTC post 30th level material. Either change your demands, or expect no answers.

I just read on www.gamingreport.com that people are playtesting the Revised 3rd edition d20 WOTC rules: http://www.gamingreport.com/article.php?sid=6709 I am sure these people are under a ND agreement, but nevertheless, they can give us some hints about what will change or be added to the...

Remember kiddies, any spell that the dragon wants to cast on itself would have to penetrate its own spell resistance (page 82 of the DMG)! To lower your own spell resistance, you must take a standard action. The dragon certainly could not take a standard action to lower his spell resistance...

I think haste is too powerful for one simple reason: it allows a spellcaster to cast two spells in one round. I think Haste is fine for melee/ranged attackers, but being able to cast two spells in one round, especially if you are a high level caster, is too much.

Yep, the ranger mentioned in the first post, while rather exhaustive, is also far too powerful. Monte's ranger is also too powerful. The ranger from the PHB is too weak. Expect a buffed-up ranger in the revised PHB, which comes out in July.

Re: stuff that didn't make the cut

I would recommend staying with the monsters from the MM and MM2 until you have one character in your party reach 21st level. Once you have a character reach 21st level, then your campaign is truly epic, and thus you should start using monsters from the ELH. The MM, and in particular the MM2...

But Moridin, how much can you discuss about the new SW Heroe's Guide? What prestige classes will appear in it? Perhaps I am better off asking this on your website, or on the official WOTC SW messageboards.

I dont want to spend another 90 dollars for three books I already own, but if the changes are worthwhile, perhaps I will buy them. I am a ranger junkie, and have always felt that they are under-powered in 3rd edition. Perhaps the revised PHB will restore my faith in rangers.

I enjoy reading this website for WOTC news. I started reading it like most people when it was Eric Noah's site. I also read the messageboards, although not as much as the WOTC boards, but I never realized the independent/anti-WOTC attitude of these messageboards. Thats ok though. Everyone is...

Dont worry Caliban, I am not exactly firing up my email to ask you, even though I am from Phoenix, and you are from Mesa.

Re: Re: Re: Yeah, but... He expressed his opinion on FR, and I expressed my opinion on home-brewed campaigns. Both opinions are just as valid, because at heart they are just opinions and cannot be proven or disproven. I insulted your campaign? I am sure this thread is insulting to the...

Perhaps you are starting to see my point of view? When does a campaign become a home-brewed campaign? When do you stop playing FR, and start playing something else? If you make a few changes to a few NPCs, are you still playing FR? What if you make wholesale changes to everything? Are you...

Nope. My gaming group started when we were generally 16 years old. Needless to say, we didnt know what we were doing, but we tried to stick to the rules as best we could. I gave the example of the 19 year old as an abstraction.

I hate to admit it, but my gaming group may have to make an addition to Orcus. Since he is a lesser god in FR, he will be more powerful than the BoVD version. If we do this, and thats a BIG IF, I forsee one of two things happening: 1. We use the guidelines layed out in the BoVD. If these...

Re: Yeah, but... If FR is fast food fantasy, then everything else is Turkish prison food.

In my SW campaign, we are playing the Rise of the Empire era (prequel era.) We have meet several movie characters, but havent affected them. Two of our characters are Jedi, and work for the Jedi council (as prescribed in the RCRB.) We have been playing official modules found on the WOTC...
