    Delta Green d20 is coming!

    I have tried and failed to understand the exact reasons for the delay. But I tell you what, if it was a matter of costs, they should've "ransomed" it, Greg Stolze style. They would've made a good amount pretty quickly. I know I would would've coughed up the dough.

    Industry Advice for buying a hobby game store

    I was the main employee/assistant manager of a store that failed, so I have some insight. #1 - Try to make a small profit, but know there is no way you will make a large one. Just over enough to stay in business is a success store. And be prepared to operate at a loss your first year (both in...

    Wow, this is nerve-wracking. My teeth are chattering, and not just from the dentist. I don't know how IP addresses work. Do roommates who share an Internet connection have the same IP address? Also, would the computer lab a large university (like say, my own current scool San Francisco State...

    Covers of "Shelter from the Storm"

    Excellent, looks like the art on a Shadowfist card... which is a VERY, VERY GOOD THING... there's probably like eight people out there who remember Shadowfist...

    Covers of "Shelter from the Storm"

    This is my favorite cover art yet. The statues seem to be a bit of an homage to the old cover of The Temple of Elemental Evil-- Nice touch.

    He is a popular guy around these messageboards-- I went to sleep last night ahead of him by 11 votes and when I got up I was behind by 3! He's doing very well, and honestly, his sample chapter does indicate to me that he is uniquely qualified to novelize the War of the Burning Sky. All the...

    Thank you for the kind words. Just to let you know, yes, the drunk priest is planned as a main character, one of the protagonists. I wanted to structure things so that the main characters were introduced over time, organically, rather than everyone introducing themselves at a bar. This is also...

    Pantheon Suggestions?

    Since you're in this thread, RangerWickett, I wanted to mention that I had toyed around with the idea of using the four elemental spirits from the Player's Guide – the Tidereaver Kraken, the Worldshaper Worm, the Flamebringer Dragon, and the Stormchaser Eagle - as deities, specifically Torrent...

    Which Is The Best Spontaneous Divine Casting Class?

    Ah, okay, that explains why I hadn't heard of them. I keep track of most of the d20 Fantasy products out there, except those from WotC, whom I stopped paying attention to around 2003/04. That would be my choice, too, as that is the one I am familiar with, or the Green Ronin Shaman, which is a...

    Which Is The Best Spontaneous Divine Casting Class?

    The mystic is from DLCS, but what products are these other classes from?

    Conversion to two player campaign.

    Best PC survival variant from Unearthed Arcana is Reserve Points. http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/adventuring/reservePoints.htm Doesn't change game balance, but keeps PCs alive.

    Who Has Actually Played/Run Burning Sky

    Sounds like you had an easy time with the fight. Are your PCs 1st or 2nd level?

    Zothique D&D (Moldvay)

    Note that Castle Amber uses Clark Ashton Smith's Averoigne as a setting, not Zothique. Averoigne is a fictitious region of medieval France, Zothique is the last continent on earth thousands of years in the future. Not that Castle Amber isn't worth looking at. Clark Ashton Smith is awesome. My...

    What are the top 10 elements of a Lovecraft adventure?

    To my mind, Clark Ashton Smith is the best writer of the three. And that is saying a lot. A lot of D&D comes from him I think. Read Empire of the Necromancers, for example.

    Sell me on Burning Sky.

    Do you want to use it just with Arcana Evolved, or the Diamond Throne setting specifically?

    Best variant AoO rule?

    For me, I shy away from AoO not because I can't remember the rules, but because we don't use minis or maps. Makes it hard to arbitrate. There a good way to use AoO without a map?

    War of the Burning Sky - Updated 1/18 with discussion of the Player's Guide

    Ah, of couyrse. Thanks, that makes perfect sense. Another question: any tips to a player using the commander class? One of my players is looking at a multiclass half-orc paladin/commander, and another guy is arguing that with the Charisma penalty that race/class combo will be like shooting...

    War of the Burning Sky - Updated 1/18 with discussion of the Player's Guide

    Player's Guide looks really good. A smart, useful way to engage the PCs. I wish TSR had done one of these for the original Dragonlance modules when they first came out, so the implied associations of the PCs with the setting could've been tied-in crunch-wise. Players love free stuff. A...

    Can anyone recommend a Sci-Fi/Future game?

    I can't believe no one has mentioned Bulldogs! yet. Here's a review: http://www.enworld.org/reviews.php?do=review&reviewid=2039829 I think it's been reviewed more than once on EN World, but this is the one that I found.
