I don't know how much influence M.A.R. Barker had on Gygax (who never really quite got EPT), but I do know he influenced Arneson, so maybe a bit of his cosmology carried over. In EPT Barker had Demons of Stability and Demons of Change. Though he didn't like the alignment system Stability can...

Well, they did release the Silver Anniversary set with a reproduction of the Holmes rulebook in 1999. So they are releasing the original corebooks in 2012. So I guess these last 13 years have been 1977 all over again. To bad I wasn't yet in Kindergarten then or I would appreciate it more...

Playtesting through DDXP is all and good, but most people aren't going to be using D&D playing Wizard's adventures in a public venue. People must be allowed to home test the rules, where they take the rules home to their friends (and, of course, have them sign an NDA), write their own...

Oh, yes and call them thieves.

I need to organize my thoughts for the variant I am writing for myself. 1. Introduction 2. System (roll d20, roll high) 3. Ability Scores 4. Action Points (awarded per level, modifying die rolls, use to get extra actions, use to reuse expended class features/powers, use for healing surges...

That reminds me, I haven't downloaded ProgressQuest on my current computer.

Too bad some of the work he did for Gygax won't see the light of day. His maps for Castle Greyhawk were impressive.

PB's art is pretty awesome. Of course, I get to see it all in development since I know him personally.

Mearls needs to know what a true Storytelling Game is all about From the recent Escapist Magazine article about the future of RPGs: "I have a theory about RPGs," Mearls said. "When 2nd edition really got focused on story [in 1989], we had what I call the first era of RPG decadence and it was...

And actually with Intelligence if you are going to match the IQ bellcurve to the 3d6 die bellcurve it is more like your 10.5 + (IQ - 100)/15, but rounded up just to be nice.

Actually all the D&D classes fit well into Ytarria. Druids and rangers represent the old faith, Sahud and the Far East Towns in Tredoy and other cities give excuses for monks, and clerics and paladins can be found in Islam and Christianity. And the presence of magic allows for Bards...

Thank you.

I had something at one time, but I think it got stolen. Xp

Why is it when I am navigating from EnWorld to the Escapist Magazine, neither of which are Facebook sites, I am getting a security warning from Facebook before I can proceed? Something sounds wrong and invasive here.

Also, not quite a return but I bought a bunch of White Wolf modules for less than a dollar a piece and took them to the used book store and sold them for 25% cover. Made enough money to eat that week (don't miss that level of poverty).

I would probably include the number of boy/girlfriends in the charisma number.

I've not seen that problem. I know at least seven women who GM. Two who specialize in 3.5e, one in d20 Modern, one Pendragon, two who ST White Wolf, and one very good Dread ref.

Lucifer has been accused of being a chess master though.

A Werewolf the Wild West book, about a dozen pages were repeated and a dozen pages were missing.
