    Tell me tales of Savage Worlds!

    I'm really, really interested in picking Savage Worlds up - sell me on it or convince me not to, please!

    [April] What are you playing?

    You can add Resident Evil: Code Veronica and Red Faction to the list of games being played in April. Hopefully Ghosthunter will grace the list as well. The reviews make it sound like it's good for one play-through. Hooray for the used game market!

    Prestige classes as branches

    I was going to say that SWBaxter's idea sounded a lot like the Grim Tales model, but it looks like Grim Tales already came up...

    Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind d20 Ideas

    I straightened up the table for you. Yay for notepad! I'm not sure what the benefit of "Quirky Controls" and a few other airship feats are beyond personalizing a ship. Other than that, I think this thread is super-cool stuff and I've been subscribed for a while. Thanks for all the work...

    The Test of Time

    Upon hearing Rurrahr and Elrion's remarks, Shi-Torib lets a sonorous guffaw escape his lips. As silly as it sounds, Rurrahr, you've read my mind! You're right about Elrion as well - would that I kept my head about me as well as he did this combat. I'll have the wisdom that comes with age and...

    The Test of Time

    "We should bury or burn the corpse quickly to get the scent of blood and death off the wind as soon as possible." Shi-Torob pauses as an amused grin spreads across his face. He nearly laughs as he muses: "Hmmm. I wonder..." Do I know whether Hippogriffs are good eating or at least edible...

    Wasn't Creamsteak working on something like this for his Final Fantasy d20 thing?

    The Test of Time

    Shi-Torob, Giant Champion of Death 1 Depending on the range of the hippogriff, Shi-Torob will either move and draw a javelin or his Swordaxe, and attack while yelling loudly and calmly. Injuring, killing, or frightening the creature away are all acceptable outcomes. Here's the rolls...

    What's your favorite way to play D&D over the net?

    I've only ever played two ways online: I've done play-by-post on these borads, and I've used a custom java chat client that my friend threw together.

    [April] What are you playing?

    God of War is beaten! I'm looking forward to starting again in God Mode and going through the Challenge of the Gods. I'm guessing that when I start a new game that I have to power up everything again, though it seems that in Challenge of the Gods my moves are intact...

    The Test of Time

    Shi-Torob, Giant Champion of Death 1 "If we desperately need to dig and not waste the time to return to Navael, the broad head of my swordaxe could serve as a poor but passable digging tool, I'm sure. Other than that - our strides are long, our backs strong, and the day's young. I don't think...

    Building a Better Tumble

    Hmmm. Now I kinda wish Wulf Ratbane would show up to talk about his design decision for Grim Tales...

    Building a Better Tumble

    Welll... bluff is used for feignting, ride pretty much directly affects combat, same thing with hide, spot, move silent, and listen for working denying/allowing dex bonuses to AC and sneak attacks. Personally - I'm in favor of almost all skills having combat potential. I love stunts and all...

    The Test of Time

    "The ritual certainly doesn't save any money - even at festival prices - but it does make the occasion seem special. It is useful for travel, though: you don't have to carry as much food. I've never performed the ritual for three before - I'm not sure it will work, but I will try." Shi-Torob...

    Ghost in the Shell Stuff

    That's what he's talking about. He's using a simple set of guidelines to predict character performance as it's represented in the Challenge Rating system. Fractions are only important insofar as they can add up to 1, which is roughly equal to a character level, a point of a monster's challenge...

    Advanced GM's Guide Simplified NPC Design rules - how are they?

    I'm interested too! Are they as good as Henry/S'mon's system/guidelines?

    The Test of Time

    Shi-Torob is initially shocked at the response, and then visibly excited. "I was only expecting one or maybe two to take me up on my offer - this is great!" Despite the presence of another local in the group, Shi takes charge picking out his favorite local produce to share with the others. He...

    Building a Better Tumble

    Bump! I just want to see what more, if any, experiences there are out there with Shallown's/my/Grim Tales' version of the tumble skill.

    The Test of Time

    Shi-Torob, Giant Champion of Death 1 Torob smiles, bows his head, and makes toward the exit, asking of those around him, "Would anyone care for a meal and conversation? I'll treat." Alone or with others from the group, Torob will make his way back to the market, enjoy a variety of fresh...

    [April] What are you playing?

    It's called Shadow Hearts and I'm almost positive (as in, I didn't do a quick search to check) that it's a PS2 game.
