Darn it, you sold me on it! Now I'm going to have to buy it! :D My only concern is the idea of a meta-plot. If a large amount of the setting revovles around the mystery of the canticle, will I have to buy a lot of supplements and adventures to further reveal the meta-plot?

Well, I occasionally base things off console rpgs, but I try to avoid ripping them off directly. For example, I once played a foul mouthed chain smoking pilot in a pulp rpg. The character was based loosely on Final Fantasy 7's Cid Highwind. I've also had a mysterious thief/assassin npc based...

After what seemed like a deluge of "grim and gritty" and dark settings, two heroic mythical settings are coming out. This IMO is a good thing because I've always loved epic and mythical campaigns. However, I'm torn between Goodman's Morningstar and FFG's Dawnforge. From what I've read of...

I'm just wondering. In some ways it's nice to have some description of the monsters but so many of them are poorly written. And too many times the description seems to dictate the monsters action monster x approaches you. What if the monster doesn't approach the party? What if it stays back...

Ugghhh...I played in one session using 3.5e rules, and disliked about everything that I've seen. I ended up playing a fighter because wizards and sorcerers are so nerfed! (In fact, no one in the party played a wizard or sorcerer!) Buff spells are practically useless now. It used to be that...

I seldom feel the need to get into arguments over messageboards. However for various reasons, which I will not discuss here, mythusmage's posts hit me on a very personal level. First and foremost, contrary to mythusmage's ramblings, I do, indeed, care about the quality of my writing. However...

Thank you very much for your great critique of my apparently poor grasp of grammar. Perhaps you should act as my personal proofreader and point out all the grammatical and punctuation errors that I made in my previous post. God forbid that I ever make an error or typo! Obviously since posting...

I love epic/legendary games. One thing that I would do to emulate the feel of myth is to make the heroes powerful and avoid meaningless deaths. This doesn't necessarily mean "min-maxing", but rather pit the characters against hordes of lower level foes that they can defeat with ease. Also I...

This is just my theory, but I think the changes have more to do with D&D licensed products than the game itself. Wizards has been talking a lot about "brand recognition", and how the D&D game is widely recognized (although poorly understood) by the general public. Hence, owning the D&D game is...

The two questions I ask myself are: 1: Is it fun? 2: Do I enjoy the people that I'm playing with? I left a group before simply because I couldn't stand their playing style. I enjoy epic/mythic campaigns with larger than life heroes. They wanted to play grim and gritty complete with doomed...

I'm really excited! I've been waiting for some solid mass combat rules for some time. One question though, if the system utilizes 3.5e rules for combat, will all creatures and units be assumed to have square facing? This concerns me, because, under the rules would I be able to change the...

Geez! Go back and read my original post! I never called the BoEF "pornography". (Although in my personal definition it may be, but I haven't seen it yet.) What I said was that players were free to incorporate "porn" in their games if they wanted to. I meant to imply that a ban on...

Yeah, I'm disappointed with the changes to the license. Although WotC is in every right to do it, it seems to violate the spirit of the original license. However, for everyone screaming doom and gloom: CHILL OUT! This is not the end of d20, or D&D. Just because you can't have your d20 sex...

I see this new clause as aimed against Valar's BoEF. Sure other companies might publish artwork with some nudity, but given the time and money, it's unlikely that WotC will take action against them. I think AV really played fast and loose with the rules with the whole BoEF. Given the fact...

I've not seen the preview, but from what I've heard, it contains a lot of fetishes and bondage- a fair amount of "kink". Not exactly my definition of erotic.

[/url] Well, although I believe that he's free to speak his mind, I really have to think of the article as a little odd. Did anyone catch the part where he talks about the cthulhu mythos as being real? Although in his defense, he is probably confusing the cthulhu mythos as Christian demons.

My mom never really banned D&D. She never got into the whole D&D = satanic thing. (After all, my uncle, my dad's brother, was really into D&D in the late 70's and early 80's). However, she has subtly expressed from time to time the fact that I waste too much time and money on the game. (The...

The funny thing was that I was never really into the whole Cthulhu thing untill CoC d20 came out. The idea of the PCs fighting against the chtulhu mythos is appealing to me. Of course I'll probably make a lot of changes to the mythos to better suite my world and playing style (after all, CoC...
