I don't think anyone wants sentient-helicopter PCs...

HARP, MERP, GURPS (don't remember what edition), 1st and 2nd Ed. AD&D, and...I think that's it. All of the above are in (legitimate!) PDF versions, too, so that probably contributed to it; if I ever really wanted to play one of them, I'd buy the print version.

Jorran lowers his head at the rebuke, and continues walking in silence.

In the campaign I've been running for just about a year, exactly, and put on hiatus after last weekend's lackluster session, we went from level 1 to level 8 over the course of that year. This was just perfect for me, but a little slow for my players. In a game I was a player in, we went from...

I generally go with realism to make good at least as good an option as evil... If you're involved in a truly, inherently [Evil] organization, you are going to get backstabbed, figuratively or literally if you ever get any real power. You don't just have your enemies to worry about; your...

Well, the purpose is to make spellcasting a bit more safe, but keep it limited. On that front, however, it might make sense if the failed fort save vs. "Massive Non-Lethal Damage" resulted in being unconcious (as if their non-lethal damage was greater than their current HP)... The other thing...

Well, not including games that are OGL but not D20 only by some technicality... Decipher's CODA Lord of the Rings. I haven't run anything with the system in about a year, but that's only been because I've been busy with other campaigns. I am planning to play again in the near future.

My 'big' group totals 10 (including me), but no more than 8 of us (7 players) ever show up for a single session between the two campaigns we have going. Usually, it's more like 5-6 of us. My small 'off weekend' group totals 6 (including me), and shares three players from the big group. My...

Jorran Kaarai While he walked with the two refugees, Jorran turned to Miera. "I was distracted before I could ask you earlier," he began, "but I sensed you were very strong in the force. You're stronger than most of the Knights and Masters I knew before the wars. I've met a few people in my...

Ok, so, I've come up with a spellcasting variant for a new campaign I'm starting in about two weeks...basically, my goal is to make spellcasting a little bit less dangerous to the caster, while keeping spells/spellcasters very, very rare. Oh, and this is combined with something else I thought...

"Fair enough, Jorran says, following Miera.

"Thirty years?" Jorran asked, amazed. "I guess you may not have heard about what's happened in the last ten years, then. Palpatine's empire was overthrown by an alliance of rebels, and a new republic is said to be rising. But that doesn't answer your question, does it?" Jorran continued...

Jorran Kaarai "Well, you could say that. I'm also lucky that I made it into the pod at all. Which reminds me...how long ago did your ship crash, anyway?"

Jorran nodded and grabbed the transponder before following after Miera. "So, just how big is this settlement of yours?"

"It was just me, but I landed near a settlement," Jorran replies. "One of the locals says that those creatures are called 'Masliths'...you should move the corpses as far from your ship as possible."

Glad to hear someone on the other end, Jorran responded. "This is the escape pod from the Umber Dart, and I'm also planetside. I think we met in orbit. Are any of your crew injured?"

Jorran nodded and ran back to the escape pod. After climbing up the side, he lowered himself through the hatch. Inside, he brushed dirt off of the com system near the front of the pod. He set it to an open channel, and cleared his throat. "Does anyone copy? I repeat, does anyone copy? Over."

After blinking a few times, Jorran regained his composure. "I've got an short-range com system in the pod, but I'm not sure how it fared in the crash. Anyway, the other ship looked like it went down after it hit me. But...if you're not from the other ship, how did you get here? Are there others?"

Average, the way the book says to do it. That is, at odd levels, they gain the odd 'half' of average (5 on a d8 or d10, 3 on a d4). At even levels, they gain the even 'half' (4 on a d8, 6 on a d10, 2 on a d4). I much prefer it to rolling. The way I see it, HP is such an abstraction that the...

"Were you in that ship that hit me?" Jorran asked, lowering his blaster. "And I hope I didn't hurt your...uhh...pet when it met me earlier. It gave me the distinct impression that it wanted to eat me." OOC I'd like to use See Force (which, come to think of it, I should have done earlier).
