Sorry, what is Iron DM? -Clint

Let me humbly offer my campaign as an example of an interesting Good campaign. We started out as a simple Good vs. Evil campaign, but is now really a Good vs. Good campaign. There's a ton of Evil stuff under the large city that is the setting, locked in a vault (the Banewarrens, by Monte...

I'm in for $20. If I weren't out of work, it'd have been more. Glad to see that the site is back on its feet. -Clint

Thanks again. I thought that OGC/PI worked in reverse. I added a statement that should be clear. I wrote this with the intention that anyone (DMs, publishers) would use it freely. So, any thoughts on the generator part? -Clint

Thanks, kingpaul. Even though I've read quite a bit on S15, I didn't realize that I had to include my own line even when not including new source material. But I trust that you're giving me sound advice, so I've included a line under S15: <i>NPyC, Copyright 2003, Clint Howarth; Author Clint...

Good games for the PS2 that cost $20 or less: If you like fighting games, you can't beat Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution. If you like console games (ala Mario), Ratchet and Clank is great. It's a couple of years old and is a Greatest Hit. If you liked Gauntlet, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance is good...

Thanks to you both for the feedback. Well, like I said, equipment isn't likely, mainly because it's a pain to code, but also because it's the most likely generated information to be changed by the user, and pretty easy to compute manually. I'll leave that to an NPC equipment generator. The...

Hi. This is a call for friendly people to test and give feedback to my beta-version web-based 3.5e NPC generator. I don't know about y'all, but I loved Jamis Buck's NPCGen. I got a ton of utility out of it, and I wanted to give something back, so I wrote a 3.5e update, currently called NPyC. (I...

Yay! I get to play. Thanks much! I'd also like to be in on the breakfast gig. I'll bring a dozen blueberry muffins. Joy! -Clint

I'd love to participate, too. I live near Boston, and am really bummed that I missed the initial posting of this. Miss the boards for a couple of days, miss a great opportunity. In any case, if there's any room as an alternate, I'd love to be there. Thanks much. -Clint

My group's hero point system is for our heroic but gritty medium-fantasy game. This game world doesn't have raise dead or resurrection, so the following system tries to make the hero's life a little longer. A hero gets one hero point to start and one for every four levels. There are also...

First, thanks everyone for replying. Hi, Lupa, I appreciate your reply. I apologize for mistaking that the service was free for you. I saw Roving's webpage and assumed that you were using their free trial, which lasts for two months. I still disagree with you, though, for two reasons: The...

Valar is the company that gave the emails away; someone there has to be aware that they shared the emails. Besides, there's not much to get right on. Even if it was a mistake, it's not like they can ungive the information. -Clint

You're right. I'm sorry, wrong forum. Can we get this thread moved to Computers? Thanks. [edit: already done! that was fast. :) ]

Yeah, I know it, TiQuinn. The answer is don't give your email out. I worked for an email server software company for four years, and we worked on spam control all the time. I know the problem up and down, and your solution is the only correct one. Don't get me wrong: I'm not upset at the...

Need to vent. Valar sold my email today, and yours too if you had a registration with them. I gave Valar my email address to get a login which would let me preview their product, since only registered users could download their previews. I should have known better. On the registration page...

I took the liberty of starting one: http://www.mortality.net/board/read.php?TID=7339 I also threw up a few converted items to seed the thread. Hopefully more will pop up. :) -Clint

I'm sorry, I was pretty unclear. What I meant was prestatted NPCs, in a world that's already working. I was just wondering how people have shoehorned this system into a world where dozens of NPCs already have core-balanced equipment sets. It sounds like you created characters (PCs and NPCs)...

BardStephenFox, thanks much! That's great advice, that's exactly what I'll do. I'll post back afterwards and let you know how it went. And your converted document offering is a fantastic idea. Those six pages of appendix are incredibly useful. I would love to give the converted information to a...

Hi. I just got the Artificer's Handbook today, and I love it. I'd like to drop it in, but was hoping that I could tap y'all for some advice on how it actually plays. The system provided, while beautiful and logical, is a bit more work. How does it actually run in game? How do you like it when...
