Tsyr and Stormfalcon, I agree that something like Spiritual Attributes would not work well for every group. That's why it's nice to have different games so people can find what works best for them. Like I said, I wasn't trying to claim superiority or even effectiveness, but simply illustrate...

There are ways to intrinsically support roleplaying and D&D does not take a very aggressive approach as regards to some of these. On the one hand, as compared to 1e and 2e there is extended support for non-combat related activity in the expanded skills and feats system. Non-combat related...

Vemuz tells his hostage, "Your weapons too. Slowly and no games." He then calls out to Malachi in the heavy pigin slang of the islands, hoping the elves grasp of common is not good enough to understand the heavy dialect "Waja do nah blood keep, Malachi?" He is asking Malachi what he should do...

What an adorable little girl. Congratulations Greatwyrm!!!

I think a definitive low magic d20 fantasy book would be cool, although Conan is coming out and so is another book by -- was it Wulf Ratbane that has one coming out? I also think that Tamriel would be a good PnP game setting (the world for the Elder Scrolls computer game -- daggerfall...

Congratulations! Nice, big, baby. :)

Unearthed Arcana from WotC or Arcana Unearthed from Malhavolic?

Vemuz whispers "shhhh..." and waits to see if his captive will ever prove a useful bargaining tool. Not yet...

If Eberron really does incorporate "magical" industrial technology extensively (we only know about the train for sure now, right?) then I also think that it would be more interesting to take a look at how to make the more high-magic elements unique rather than copying industrial items. I could...

My older boys are 2 1/2. Statistically, the frequency of twin births varies by ethnicity. For us it was probably around 1/60, which theoretically might mean the odds are 1/3600 for people with two pregnancies. However, it's more complicated because women can be genetically predisposed toward...

On Thursday, Owen and Oliver were born. Along with their older brothers (also twin boys) Wressey and Jackson, I now have the ultimate gaming family! :) They've got at least 7 years or so to figure out who gets stuck with the cleric though...

Good luck on day 2 Ryan!

New Mexico. Best.Food.In.The.World!

ooc: need to get to bed now, sorry I don't have time to reply, but my wife and I are headed in in the morning to have babies, so I'll be indefinitely out of commission. The general plan for Vemuz now is to keep quiet and use his captive elf as collateral in negotiation if an opportune moment...

TROS isn't about how well you can kill though. That's the thing. In the book proper there is an interesting essay by Ron Edwards about why the magic system is the way it is. I'll readily admit though that it's not for everyone! Ars Magica is another good system, but it really doesn't support...

Vemuz presses the blade a little more firmly against the skin. "Where? Point."

It's not supposed to be balanced. You have to run it around spiritual attributes for it to work well. That's why it won't convert to d20.

Ryan, do you have a dietician with HIV experience working with you in addition to your doctor? I think it might be a big help! As always take care, -Kenji

Are you looking for d20 games or games in general? If the latter, The Riddle of Steel has a magic system that sounds close to what you're referring to. I would not port over to d20 very well at all though. There's a simplified version of the magic system in the quickstart rules at...
