Same here. Too much work, not enough reward. It's a lot of fun to play though. Whenever I get the opportunity to play, I take it (even knowing sooner or later the DM is bound to crash).

My problem with both versions of Oriental Adventures has always been this: I could have already ran something oriental with just the core. In both books, the only items I ever found constantly useful were the monsters.

Don't forget the Dungeon adventure "The Razing of Redshore", which is supposed to bridge the gap between non-epic and epic level; there's also tie-in articles further detailing the organizations/powers presented in that adventure in the corresponding Dragon issue devoted to epic level play.

I agree with Vigiliance. I love archetypes and find customization to be highly overrated.

Make me a PHB. :(

I prefer kits, but I think kits, substitution levels, and prestige classes are all equally useful and have thier place.

I vaguely recall reading a thread posted here about an old article calling for the advocacy of game equilibrium over game balance. I found the thread pretty fascinating but unfortunately I did not bookmark it. Would anyone be so kind as to give the jist of the argument or perhaps a link? You...

I got the following idea off an old RPGnet thread... Haven't used it but it can't hurt. You might also want to check the Book of Iron Might. It has a more extensive stunt system.

What new gaming systems? Hackmaster and Castles and Crusades?

Noted. I figured hit points, attack bonuses, saves, and relevant skills and abilities will be enough, but I guess having everything detailed would be good too.

Yeah. I figure I'd need to make the town bigger so I'll double it in size and see how it works. As for the wildlife, yes, I'll need to redo the miscellaneous encounter charts. Nonetheless I was thinking about putting a deepspawn somewhere to the east of the city, which would make encounters...

Bulettes are landsharks. The PCs should eliminate the bulettes since they're an important element in the shaman's plan. They could also eliminate the shaman himself but I figure the death of the bulettes would be enough to discourage him for the time being. Yeah. I really didn't give enough...

I'm running a d20 modern game tomorrow night and I want a quick critique for the night's adventure. Excusing grammer, spelling, and poor punctation, tell me what you would change, add, delete, etc. With that said, the adventure follows: Quakes of Fear Quakes of Fear is a d20 adventure...

Tough. If he can't handle character death, then he shouldn't be gaming at all. Right now, I am in a very brutal M&M game and I found the actuality of death made my character's survival much more awarding.

Right on the mark.

Agreed.

Game designing question here, relevant to AD&D... Say I wanted to emulate the 'child of destiny' archetype, would it be effective to have such a character start ridiculously weak, but grow quickly in power (shorter needs of experience) and abilities (class features)? On the opposite side, what...

More player versus GM standoffs. Like Hackmaster.

What can I say? It's very expansive.

What if Conan and Moses teamed up to battle evil In Greyhawk?
