Please tell me you've found another publisher for this book?! Barring that, any chance of a PDF release... I'd certainly buy it in PDF, especially if I there was some sort of discount for the dead trees version when it becomes available.

True, but they're probably being shot at by a many more people. Throw enough lead at them and they will eventually fail a Fort save. You could, I suppose, raise the DC as they take more damage. +1 per 5 or something like that. I know that variations of what I just suggested are fairly popular...

My roomie and I hashed over this one as well. His take was to give me a occupation that gave me access to the two skills I needed (was shooting for Drive, Pilot, Repair, and Disable Device) so I could make my over-the-top car thief/wheelman. :) We also talked about making a new advanced class...

Yeah, I'm sure that narrows it down. Sorry. I was following another thread where books on Firearms for D20M came up and someone had mentioned a soon to be published book other than Ultramodern Firearms. Does anyone know what the heck I'm talking about and who was publishing it?

Yes, because that number conveniently matched the existing number... it's still arbitrary.

Perhaps he is making money, but not enough to increase his wealth level.

You're a Republican, aren't you? ;)

My experience with games that use hit locations and such has been mixed. In general, when past players have asked me as their GM to attack a specific location (like the head for instance), what they really want is an instant kill. I can use a system like that... but I always make it clear that...

Exactly, which is why they get a cover bonus... there's less to hit, therefore they're harder to hit. d20 combat is abstract when it comes to whether you hit or not. Armor adds defense because it's 'more difficult to hit them and do damage'. If you roll high for damage, you hit them where you...

My gut says that while 1,080 is correct, it seems too cheap. Partly because it's non-expendable, and partly because unlike a potion, I don't believe that this would invoke an AOO like a potion would. In defense of the cheaper price however is the fact that it's only a CLW. In a few levels a CLW...

My thoughts are close to yours... I'm not sure about the availablity approach... you could just as easily use a DC value for the requisition. They can request that Zat's be issued... but it's not assured. First shot... some amount of nonlethal damage. If it exceeds CON, make a FORT save. This...

Hey, if I wanted errata I'd still be playing MegaTraveller and Star Fleet Battles.

I don't have the book in front of me, and I'm also pulling on memory, but IIRC, the standard .50 cal round has a flat line trajectory of close to a mile. Now, I have no idea if that means that you could realistically hit a target at that range, even with absolutely everything working in your...

I'm not trying to weaken your point, but actually, the creatures account for less than 15% of the book.

Well, the #1 answer I suspect would be that you're one of those people that doesn't play fantasy and resented the idea of having to buy the PBH so you could play something else. Reprinting the core rules was, I suspect, a calculated business decision, and one that I also suspect, will pay off.

I prefer the ensemble(sp?) cast concept... all of the PCs are stars in their own right. They all get their screen time. They all get to shine. Think Kelly's Heroes or Ocean's Eleven.

I have to admit that I like some of what was done with Spycraft. It's sitting right next to d20M on my shelf. Mind you some of that is because one of my gaming companions wrote some of it, but even so, I like it. You want to do Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., this is the system for you. I...

Electronic games are excluded from the OGL, for what it's worth. It can't be OGL, and therefore can't use OGC. I suppose you could use OGC content yourself, but I'm not sure of the legality of making it available for others. As for adventures, etc. I'd have to check Bioware's license, but I...

Sure they can... all they need do is secure the permission of AEG. I don't see a problem with that.
