Drop-down problems I'll second the drop-down menu problems. When on the top of the page, half of them popped up behind the ad, so I couldn't see what they said. And when the menu is on the left (in your second iteration), I had to move the mouse in strange ways to cancel a menu dropdown, as...

Gosh, well there you go. I enjoy the stuff in Dragon a lot. :)

I used to read gaming fiction a lot. In fact, it's what I read the most when I was ten to fourteen years old. That was a long time ago. When in the hobby store a month or two ago, I picked up "The Temple of Elemental Evil", a Greyhawk game fiction book, written by Thomas M. Reid and published...

(just kidding, folks) :)

"i told my girlfriend i was havuing an affair on wednesday nights to avoid her knowing i game" You big kidder! Gamers don't have girlfriends!

Oh, sorry! :) I didn't know about the redesign contest being over. Thanks much, Morrus!

I'm curious as to what kind of coverage would be offered to other systems. There are so many other systems: GURPS, Palladium, Storyteller, Ars Magica, Deadlands, Fading Suns, Feng Shui, and many many more. I just think that the logistics of expansion would be overwhelming, unless it was clear...

Nice concept, nice start. Here are the first things that came to mind on reading it: 1) Replace the word 'charge' with something else, like 'defended'. While 'charge' is the proper English use of the word, it's also a primary D&D keyword. 2) Clear up the "Two-as-One" ability text description...

Gosh, Stargher, don't you think that will slow combat down mightily? I don't see why everyone wouldn't take that feat, because it doesn't cost anything to use.

Hi Canis. I see what you're saying, but I wouldn't want a player (or character) to spend a feat and maybe end up getting hurt by using it. I mean, why would a failed parry negate things like armor or magical protection? Maybe if you were using Tony Vargas' system where anyone can attempt it...

I like the idea, but the matched powers don't make sense to me. Draining life from living creatures helps you fight undead? Energy-draining is evil. Positive energy damage to undead is good. Healing is good. This item does both. Also, what effect does this have on the target? When they are...

I like the concept, but why not use stats that are already there, instead of a new equation? This is what we've been using in my campaign, and it's been working well: Tumble opposed by Reflex save to tumble through someone's threatened area. To tumble through someone's square, it's Tumble...

I'm starting the second major writing phase of my life, have no degree in writing, and have only been seriously writing and attending my writing group for six months, so I have little to add that hasn't been said. Thank you all for the freely given advice and conversation on the craft of...

Hi Pielorinho. Thanks for posting your modification notes. Very interesting setup. I tell similar stories in my campaign, where the PCs walk into a situation that is already developing. It's nice to hear another DM describe similar ideas. :) I'm looking at mining Speaker in Dreams for ideas...

Thanks TV! I like your method as well. In my game, I wanted to avoid making Parry a standard action available to all characters. I envisioned these feats as being special combat actions, because are likely to slow combat down considerably if everyone could do it. Plus, hopefully these will make...

Hi, Von Ether. Thanks for your review, I liked it. It was very detailed and informative. However, when you give a different number grade than how much you enjoyed the product, you're doing it, and your review, a disservice. Tell me that you thought it was a 4.5-4.75 and the product leaned...

This section seems to divorce the faith of the Acolyte from the powers granted. It feels like leeching off an unaware or undiscerning god. If the gods don't care about someone leeching off of them, then why does it matter what alignment the Acolyte is, or that the target of the Faith Healing be...

Hi, all. I'm talking the following feat chain over with the players in my campaign. What do you y'all think? I'm aware that expertise, dodge, and mobility are all workable, too, but I wanted something more... martial. Like Gladiator in the Arena parrying. Any comments appreciated. Parry...

This thread inspired me to write a review of the product. It's here: http://www.enworld.org/d20reviews.asp?sub=yes&where=active&reviewer=Clint&product=SASC Hope this helps. -Clint
