Sounds to me like someone formed an opinion without even reading the product, then looked for only the things that would confirm that opinion, while ignoring the rest. I mean, seriously. :\ I've run several Urban Arcana games and it's worked out just fine. Shadow is supposed to be enigmatic...

I like to call it Urban Arcana (because that's its name), and I'm currently running two games: one online, one offline. So far in the offline game, two PCs are earth-born humans, one PC is an earth-born tiefling, and two PCs are former denizens of Aber-Toril--one a goblin ninja (fast hero), and...

Sorry, but could you explain exactly how this works in a gestalt game? I've done it the other way without any problems at all. LA tends to be weaker than class levels in most cases anyway, especially at higher levels.

Try hitting the Display Modes text at the upper right of the thread display, especially in large threads where people hit the Reply to Post Quote button a lot. You'll figure out how it works pretty quickly. ;) (edit: oops, wrong forums for that button)

Dream lifestyle all the way, dude. You need to support yourself too, and you want a nice car. ;) Sometimes there are sacrifices to be made to support yourself or a family, but in the end it's worth the loss.

Oh, it takes a few character levels to kick in. Until then, I'm with diaglo. It's fun to see what kind of person I can make with the ability scores I'm given, without worrying too much about perfectly optimizing everything to make an effective combat monkey. I guess that makes my PCs excel...

I think they're right, though. Different strokes for different folks, I guess, but everyone I've ever seen with that kind of attitude on religion fell to what their religion defines as a life of sin and never returned to the morals they'd been taught their entire lives. It's a slippery slope...

If I made a rules mistake and it is discovered within one full round, I will go back. Otherwise, let the dice fall as they may, and all that. The game creates a story, not the other way around, so I don't go back to change what happened unless it's due to a glaring error on my part.

QFT.

It's more like the Underdark than an actual dungeon, but in the shareware Exile video game trilogy by Spiderweb Software, miscreants from an aboveground empire are sent through a one-way portal into a massive underground cave complex akin to the Underdark, with no known escape to the surface...

In my online D&D game Age of Elements II, I have a crucial NPC from the prequel 800 years in the past acting as the "Gandalf" to the party. As a descendant of the gods (aasimar), he has many connections to the Spirit Realm, and can provide them with information, healing, and various items...

After moving up here to Spudland (actually, Southwestern Idaho is Mintland as I learned, and boy does it smell great in the summer), I didn't have a gaming group anymore. I spent 3 years searching for one that wasn't averse to outsiders joining in like some of the more extreme examples from...

I guess I'm one of those guilty parties who talks on his phone while driving. :heh: Of course I'm using a headset, and the conversations are usually very sparse as I am paying too much attention to the road to yak. I just wish all the people around me would do things like signal lane changes...

It's gotta be High or low? -- the availability of magic in a campaign. Statistics in dice rolling is fun, but even at second place it doesn't come close. I guess I like those threads so much because it's funny to see people argue about demographics they don't actually know anything about, like...

CG human Rogue/Ranger. As a gestalt, multiclassed between Rogue/Mage and Ranger/Mage (Mage from Elements of Magic - Revised). S - 12 D - 16 C - 10 I - 18 W - 15 C - 15 Honestly, with those scores I'd be better off as a straight Mage as a non-gestalt, but my life and training so far point to...

This idea is chock full of w00tness!

Yay! I like the Magic Man's idea!

Bump. I've been just filling the numbers in myself and using redneck Excel skills to calculate it all. A resource like this would be wonderful!

O... M... G...! :D

I loves me some hardcore d20 Modern action. :cool: It's modular enough to tinker with, but still having the same type and amount of balance that 3.x D&D does. Plus it's just cool that I can pull the bulette stats out of my Monster Manual, alter them a little, and create the "Beetle" alien bug...
