    Removing Divine magic?

    I long ago told my players that there was no arcane/divine magic IMC, just straight up magic (called Sorcery). Mystics (wis based caster similar to a cleric) learn their spells just like a wizard, they are not given "by the gods". As I reworked the spell organization spells used by "good"...

    Warhammer Fantasy Role PLay

    Not significantly so, I've just always found the swarm of carreres difficult to navigate. Its simpler when your working from a specific character instead of just reading through them all.

    Warhammer Fantasy Role PLay

    I picked the book up today, and the plundered valuts companion book... all in all a very good looking system... It did take me a while to navigate the careers section though but I think I have it now. The basic system looks rock solid, maybe as easy to arbitrate as d20. I absolutely LOVE the...

    Are you planning on buying Races of Eberron?

    Nope, not getting it... Not only do I have zero interest in the Ebberon campaing setting I just spent 61 dollars for the Warhammer FRG book and the plundered vaults campaing pack.

    Creative Exercise - Describe these Buildings

    Large Barracks: This structure stands on the very edge of town, part of the very wall that surrounds it. It is one of the largest structures, and the most imposing. Made from smooth stone the structure looks like it could stand forever. Three stories tall, with a tower standing another two...

    Gnomes

    Like Halflings and Dwarves Gnomes are the decendents of a now extinct race. That race, know to scholars as Proto-Dwarves, had a very segmented society. There were warrior clans, builder clans, priestly clans, noble clans, and arcane clans. Though most clans had some cross over the study of...

    Profit warning hits Games Workshop

    I was realy into GW for a while there... back around when WH40K 3e came out. I built up some armies, and moved on to WHFB when that new edition came out. But after a while, and a few price hikes, I stoped buying their stuff (honestly, have you seen the price for White Dwarf... its gone up 3...

    What are you reading? (April 2005)

    Im still waiting for a new crop of Games Workshop novels to show up at the local Waldens... so I dont have much to read right now. I just finished Rebirth #13 and Ruroni Kenshin #13, and am still reading through "The Grapes of Wrath" (my copy turned up the other day out of the blue...)

    Help controlling player wealth

    One thing I've found to limit the players wealth is the High Living Rule from Conan d20. your characters pretty much lose 10-15% of their wealth each month. For characters who arent the sort to spend money or ale and.. companionship... I say that it goes to stuff like room and board, fixing...

    Romance? Err... ok?

    Though I dont have much of a problem with it Romance is rarely played out in game. The last major "romance" was when the party cleric had a thing for an evil cleric (well the character didnt know that she was evil at the time, he just thought she was a handmaiden to the locak Duchess)

    "Thou shalt not.." Specifics

    Most of the good gods/panthions have the usualy 10 commandments type list (no killing, stealing, ect). In addition the practice of Dark maigc is forbidden, as is the worship of old gods. Racial pantheons have a bit that says that their followers are supposed to put members of the pantheons...

    Optimal time for character creation

    First as a DM I usualy give everyone at least three weeks advanced notice that we are changing characters. Usualy I already have a good idea where the campaign is going and where its set so I can give them some broad outline of what characters would work. We usualy spend the first 2-3 hours...

    What race can you not bring yourself to play?

    Gnomes, I dont care for their race at all (I've been slowly removing them from my homebrew, being replaced with Goblins) Halflings, I just cant see myself playing them. Half-Orc, Are Orc women realy so unattractive that there are all these half breeds floating around? Besides I'd rather play a...

    Your favorite Magic system?

    Conan d20, the spells are just so flavorfull... even if the system is kinda a pain. I just dont like the fire and forget spell slot nature of the core system, it feels lacking, even if I havent found a good alternative yet.

    Okay so you hate Dragonlance, how can the current designers improve it?

    Though I wouldnt say I "Hated" DL its just not the setting for me. Nothing they could do can change that, except completly reworking the setting (at which point it wouldnt be DL anymore anyway).
