My wife's company had their Annual Company Picnic yesterday, which was held at Six Flags Fiesta Texas an hour and a half away. Needless to say, I missed Free RPG Day as well. I'm very interested in Traveller Book 0, the Goodman Games offering, the Paizo offering and the Troll Lords Starsiege...

Jester: You might be able to use the following Master Monster Index to help with your quest: http://www.sulerin.com/creatures/creatures.asp Simply do a search for "1E 2E" having Any of these words in Source and sort by CR. That should give you some good ideas, I hope, of creatures that have...

Jester: Are you keeping a master list of the threads you've started on this project? I think it would make it a lot easier for people to locate your efforts and enjoy them. Perhaps you could create a simple thread whose only real purpose is to track the URLs for the level threads in the first...

I'm working on OGL products myself (Traveller and Fantasy Concepts stuff primarily), and as I cannot afford a lawyer to review the GSL, I think I will be erring on the side of caution and just skipping GSL support for the moment. It just isn't worth losing the ability to do any OGL conversions...

But the OGL is owned by Wizards. No matter who uses it, the OGL is still owned by Wizards and anyone using it could be considered to be entering into the OGL with Wizards because of that fact. Check out the first few lines of the OGL, from any source. By using the OGL, you are at least...

Fantasy Concepts is another one for the list. :) Enjoy, Flynn

I got mine via Walmart.com on Monday, and have been leisurely perusing them. I'm in the middle of a Savage Worlds campaign, so it'll be a while before I really need to bring 4E to bear against my table. With Regards, Flynn

Hence the use of quotation marks. For these purposes, consider the request to consist of identifying any books that will possess content which the GSL will allow third-party publishers to use in their GSL publications in support of 4th Edition. With that understanding in place (and I apologize...

Good Morning, All: I realize that this is likely too early to know, but perhaps some of you may have read sources that I haven't, and so you might know the answer to this question. We have been told that the SRD for the GSL will simply be a list of page references by book and a series of game...

Session Notes - 05/28/08 Good Morning, All: Another week has passed, and last night, the group began a new adventure. Having taken the hook from an encounter the previous week, they are now actively pursuing a mystery that is wrapped up in one of the character's backgrounds. We also formally...

Would the following be of any assistance in pursuing this path? http://basicfantasy.org/download.cgi/BF-Monster-Conversion-Supplement-2006.2.pdf It's for Basic Fantasy, which I believe is a retro-clone of OD&D/BD&D with some D20-isms thrown in. It would probably not be hard to look at this...

Domains are simple. For AB(Miracles), you select two domains from the god list, and each domain is associated with a single power and a trapping. Instead of getting to choose your powers, you get the two associated with your domains, and you use the trapping (with special effects as defined in...

Good Afternoon: Personally, I would suggest the following, assuming a general pseudohistoric or fantasy bent to your games: Horror Bestiary Toolkit Fantasy Bestiary Toolkit Fantasy Gear Toolkit Fantasy World Builder Toolkit If you also like running Pulp games, the following are also good...

Session Notes - 05/21/08 Good Afternoon, All: Last night's game allowed my group the chance to "interview" the first candidate to fill the empty seat we have available. At the same time, this was also one of those recovery/bookkeeping sessions, but we got enough RP and action in to properly...

I used the Arcane Background right out of the book. You choose 3 of the powers provided with Magic, or 2 with Miracles, and use your arcane skill roll (your magic skill) to see how success you are. Your power is limited by a Power Pool that recovers at a slow hourly rate. The system appears to...

I would second the nomination of Savage Worlds. It meets all of your requirements, and is truely a blessing to GM. For a more detailed review, I would suggest that you read through the following notes on my first Savage Worlds campaign, to see how it compares...

The only thing I could find with two minutes of Google Fu was this: http://www.jonhodgson.com/wordpress/?p=47 Dunno if that's it, but I like it, either way. :) Hasta, Flynn

Yes, I think 4E will be successful. I also think that 70-80% of the vocal 4E Haters will probably be playing it within a year, for any of a various number of reasons, and some of them may even be enjoying it in the process. (IMO, of course, YMMV.) As for the rest of it, I have no idea if it...

I've run one campaign to 16th level, one to 19th level and one to 24th level. For me, the problems stemmed from three primary sources: 1) prep time, 2) combat time and 3) challenge. Prep Time: I can build characters and the like at those high levels, but it does take time to do. Even if I can...

Session Notes - 05/14/08 Good Morning, All: It's been another week, and the game goes on. Over the course of this last week, Yngvar's player came to realize that he had some life scheduling issues that required him to drop the game. Since his character was at a good point for departing, we...
