What do you mean by "meat"?

My reading has always been that the jump is more of a descriptor, i.e. the character leaps through the air and lands at the end of the listed distance. Note how the description of this power compares with the ones where a Sorcerer may hover at the end of a move.

I'd look at the following changes: - Encourage more third-party support for 4e; - Publishe a 4e Unearthed Arcana; - Electronic publishing of older adventures, supplements, and settings; and - Publish a Modern SAGA with updated mechanics and the modular NPCs and streamlined approach for GMs used...

This. Plus, it would give your group a chance to find a new groove while trying out different games and giving each person a chance to sit in the GM's chair, if they're interested.

This is actually the first SW Saga book that I've been interested in looking at for awhile. I look forward to hearing more about it.

Actually, now that you mention it, Cinematic Unisystem would be perfect for a LotR game. Also, keep in mind that Cubical 7 are the folks that just produced the Dr. Who RPG, another license with huge differences between the abilities of characters. The RPG designer for the new LotR RPG...

I had one session go south when I totally failed to anticipate how the players would react to a situation. While en route on a mission, the PCs encountered some bandits who were mostly monstrous humanoids. The PCs negotiate with the bandits and get taken to their camp. This is a large bandit...

Pencil.

Star Wars Saga is what put an end to my house-ruling d20M, and Savage Worlds is now my go to game. I like the talent system, with additional talents from d20 Future and the d20M Companion. Still, I like the talents from Star Wars Saga even better. Yes as to action points. This was the first...

I'd allow this, but only to relieve a condition once a PC had failed a save.

Lots of interesting ideas here. Or, it is a treasure hoard that has been concealed beneath an illusion so that it appears to be rubble.

Don't do dungeons. I know that sounds glibe or a like a smart-ass answer, but it's a good place to start. Pick some new locations: bandit camps, islands, ships, river crossings, temples and other urban sites. Focus on adventures outside of dungeons. Awhile back I drew a line on the battle...

Many of the d20M players and publishers appear to have moved on to Savage Worlds. Like d20M, it is setting agnostic with easy char gen. Plus, it provides the fast, furious fun.

One of the described settings in the core book and later supplements is essentially Buffy with the serial numbers filed off (Shadow Chasers?) I say "was" because, as many of these comments have suggested, d20M is badly in need of a second edition that updates the rules. WotC, though, has...

This was particularly insightful. I loved the discussion of the distinctions between a Fighter and a Barbarian. A Fighter involves lots of choices as to weapons and fighting styles. A Barbarian hits things with their axe and must decide only if it is time to rage. Plus, Barbarians are Metal.

Ah, the promise that was d20M. Really, if you're thinking about playing it now, I would recommend you buy Star Wars Saga and run that for whatever campaign you were planning. Otherwise, the one supplement that I think everyone should have is the d20M Players Companion from Green Ronin. It is...

The magic preview is now up: http://grfiles.game-host.org/dragon_age_rpg/dragon_age_preview_2.pdf Key points: - Mana points of 10+Magic+d6 at start and Magic+d6 per level - You can cast in armor but have to pay more mana to do so - Three spells at start - Five suggested builds using different...

It will also help if you prevent them from maneuvering behind you. ;) As for the ranged backstab, it may be that there are stunts, like Pierce Armor, that will allow for a devastating ranged attack. This is looking like it will be a fun game.

Nice idea, but the water needs to be deeper. Otherwise, it's just a trip hazard.
