This will be interesting. I'm curious to see which "version" of Batman people use - from the comics, from the movies, from the TV show (let's hope not), from the Fox/WB Cartoon, or even from The Dark Knight Returns. Will he be a straight-on fighter with lots of gadgets and lots of martial-arts...

Like a lot of stuff in d20, it's been done a few different ways by a few different companies. There are things you can get from Dragonmech, Swashbuckling Adventures (which even has a Saboteur PrC class), and there's one of AEG's Spycraft books with a Saboteur-like class (I forget which one)...

I've only had one thing reviewed by you, because, well, I've only written one thing. But, as someone else said, I think that the reviews are helpful beyond just giving people an idea of what they'd be buying. As a writer, the review helped me zero in on things to work on while I'm writing my...

Just curious - which version of the game are you playing now? And, how many books do you use to play?

Yeah, he used to be in the "main" group, but life got in the way. He wants the solo campaign to keep him involved in the story line (we're going to play during lunch at work) but his intention is to eventually be able to rejoin the main group so I'd like his character to be somewhat balanced...

I've used a few bits from the book in my campaign. I'd use it more, but my players are more interested in other elements of the game rather than politics. Anyway, it definitely has topics that cover each one of those areas that you're talking about. Well, it doesn't really cover "sabotage"...

I posted something similar over at RPGnet when the boards were down, but wanted to ask here as well. I have a player in a solo campaign who wants to use the Ninja class from Dragon #274. However, with the exception of the Ghost Step ability, he does not want to use any of the ki powers. We're...

That's sad - that's more than there are in Los Angeles. :) Is there still a store downtown called "Cosmic Aeroplane" or something like that? They used to have music upstairs and then downstairs was all this weird funky stuff, and that's where I bought a set of Gamma World character sheets...

My recollection from art history class in college was that most works of art in the Middle Ages were commissioned, either from the Church itself or from wealthy patrons. Most works were religious in nature, although as you get later into the Middle Ages and into the Renaissance, portraits also...

Here's how good Crothian is - I went over to RPG.net and posted in their forums as to what happened to ENWorld. Crothian answered my post over there in less than 3 minutes. The guy's insane! (In a good way). :)

Cool - thanks for the advice and tips. Keep 'em coming! He kind of wants to do basically the intrigue/political machinations/espionage thing. He's envisioning kind of a "East India Trading Company" type organization that he works for (instead of the traditional ninja family) and they send him...

Lots of stuff... creativity, reading comprehension, memorization, vocabulary. Mainly, though, the one specific incident that sticks out in my mind: 10th Grade English Class Teacher: "We need to pick who's going to read from the play. Let's see...Eenie, Meenie, Minie, Moe. Does anyone know...

I do a few things: 1) I have very specific folders in my bookmarks area. So, when I was writing The Quintessential Aristocrat, I had a folder within "d20 Writing" called, cleverly enough, "Quintessential Aristocrat". Then, within that, I had folders for class ideas, feat ideas, background...

Absolutely. The books encourage total immersion in the game, and suggest performing rituals for magic spells as well as buying swords, crosswbows, and axes to "simulate" combat with your "friends". In the "Top Secret" game I played in the 1980s, following the instructions in the game, I...

I have a folders for each campaign (one which I run, two in which I play).] The ones in which I play have folders like "character sheet", "character development & background", "e-mails with the DM", "character journal", "e-mails with other party members", and "Adventure Log from DM". Both...

It was suggested that I bump this, so...

Yeah, you're right. I was just having a bad case of "Nobody picked me for the kickball team" flashbacks. :) I always forget I can do that. All very good ideas. Yeah, I'm actually looking forward to it. Between preparing for my regular game, playing in two games, writing for publication...

Nothing? :(

One of the players who used to play in my regular weekend game can no longer play, but through a bizarre set of circumstances, he and I are now working together at the same company. He mentioned that he would like to keep playing and asked if I would DM him through some solo adventures in the...

Just because you're playing C&C (not that you are, but if you did) doesn't mean that you can't recruit players using the D&D name. "D&D" is akin to d20 kind of like "Kleenex" is akin to "facial tissue". When's the last time that you told someone you were going to the store to pick up a new box...
