I wish I could afford transportation and rooms, because I would definitely qualify under the Expose-A-Friend program they've got going. I've never been to Origins. However, given a choice between going to Origins alone or to Gen Con with friends, I'm going to have to choose Gen Con. Good Luck...

In Advanced Bestiary, there's a manimal template that you could use to do exactly that. Why not apply it (with a little elbow grease) to the moon calf, and see what you get? Hope It Helps, Flynn

Oh, I almost forgot. Last week, I asked my players for their thoughts on the Savage Worlds system so far, particularly the Mass Battle system. Here is the first response I got, from the player of Calyt the Shade: And here's the second, from the player of Magus Chrysander: I just thought I'd...

Good Afternoon, All: Last night, we had another exciting session in our Savage Worlds fantasy campaign. In this session, we began a new adventure, and I explored one of the most complex monsters, stat-wise, within the Savage Worlds system. We were down one player due to Real World isssues, but...

Thanks, GMSkarka, for the clarification. I stand corrected. I don't think it changes much of my previous statement, but it does remove some ambiguities on my part. With Regards, Flynn

I thought the SRD would become available to all on June 6th, 2008, when the core books come out, and that the OGL wouldn't be made public (save in the Phase One publications) until January 1st, 2009. As an aside, I imagine that some adventurous soul will likely take up the challenge of doing...

If I had to guess, 4E will pretty much be as open as 3E was, but WOTC isn't going to just hand over the rules already typed up for free. I believe we'll still be able to use the rules in the same way as before, but we'll have to go through the trouble of typing up our own rules out of the book...

My fun answer: Better and more interesting camera angles. My experienced answer: The combatants are looking for openings, trying to slip past their opponent's guard for a strike at an unprotected area. Most combatants keep their best defense towards their foe, to stop direct attacks, so an...

Currently, we have two scenarios for the Austin Savage Worlds Game Day on Saturday, January 19th, 2008. If you are interested in signing up for one, please post something to let me know. With Regards, Flynn * * * * * "Plunder of the Pirate Queen" by Jason 'Flynn' Kemp Genre: Fantasy Synopsis...

I'd like to see a streamlined intro game similar in concept to Kids Easy Play OGL, by Steven Ruske. It doesn't seem to be online any more, but it was a very streamlined version of the first ten levels, aimed at allowing kids to play without making too many decisions, etc. After that, I'd like...

My D&D/D20 "resolutions" are: 1. Write at least one companion for "Fantasy Concepts"; 2. Play the 4E introductory adventure to give the system a fair shot; 3. Work on my Gaming ADD. Hope this helps, Flynn

Session Notes: January 2nd, 2008 Good Morning, All: The Holidays always impact my gaming schedule in some form or another, and this year was no different. We did not game on Wednesday evening, Dec 26th, but we were finally able to game again last night (Jan 2nd). The Synopsis: After...

Here are two threads I've started that deal with Savage Worlds in a Fantasy environment. I hope that they help you with your quest: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=212054 http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=213056 I find that the spellcasters have fewer spells to select from under...

My apologies, then. I misremembered the quote myself, and should have checked before posting. Thanks for letting me know. :) Enjoy, Flynn

I'd suggest just going with Heroic levels only, as 10th level in 4E is supposed to be roughly equal to (20/3=6.67, rounded down is) 6th level in 3E. Of course, that's just a guess without seeing the rules. You'll be better able to make a proper judgement once you've seen the rules, I'm sure...

I don't think it's any more accurate than other terms that have been presented. (If anything, its origins make it too specialized for its current usage, but things change, don't they?) All in all, it's probably just a matter of who prefers what. That being said, I prefer not to use it...

Umm... just because there's two different minis doesn't mean it's two different monsters. One monster, two sculpts. In theory, the yuan-ti may not be in MM1, despite having two sculpts in DoD. Those that think the yuan-ti might not make it believe that it is because the yuan-ti have psionic...

I think I would like to see a mid-range devil, to see how creatures with MR, DR, spell-like abilities and special defenses/attacks are handled. Devils and demons are creatures with all of these, and so we'd get a chance to see more details that way (or at least hints of details). Just My...

Using the quotes mentioned above in regards to WOTC's words on the progression rates, instead of 13.33 encounters per level, it appears that we're looking at something like 8.75 encounters per level. Considering how I run the more action-packed of my sessions, that could be two sessions per...

Personally, I'd prefer not to see any unique monsters in the MM1, just to make it more user-friendly. With that in mind, I'd rather see the Tarrasque skip MM1. Maybe it could be in the DMG as a plot device... er, uh, I mean, an example of unique monsters, but the MM1 should be about facilitating...
