If you can, print on demand from a publisher, it's usually cheaper, and better for the publisher, thus encourages them to write more, similar stuff you might like. Failing that, LuLu.com. I haven't tried it yet, but friends swear by it, and it may become my favorite way of doing this. Take a...

I'd like to include a rule in my new game that makes magical healing non-instantaneous. More like a fast regeneration up to the amount rolled when the spell is cast. It seems to me that I've seen such a rule somewhere, and if I can avoid it I'd rather not have to make one up whole cloth, so...

I had to cancel my game today at the last minute :( My Sunday game only has three players, two of whom had to show up late, and one who had to leave early. There would have been like a half-hour of overlap. Ah well, there is always Friday.

I want to buy 101 Zones.

In a fit of nostalgia, I started playing Knights of Legend today.

Generally I think it is a good idea, but would this mean that only people at Gencon would be eligible to be judges? Also, if judges are running around soliciting their own entries, what happens if one judge doesn't hit every booth, and ends up not getting a copy of a book that the others will...

There was a race called the Ramen in the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant that used a length of rope as a weapon. I've always thought it was a neat idea. Too bad I haven't read the books in nearly 20 years, I just don't remember enough about them :(

To make battles hurt a bit more I lowered the maximum damage threshold to equal the character's Con score. Then I upped the save DC to 10 + 1/2 damage taken. Failing the save means the character is injured, and takes -2 to all actions until he is healed. Failing by 5 means the character...

I am seriously considering adding gith to my game modeling 40k races. The githzari would be Tau-esque, with a strict caste structure and "For the Greater Good" mentality. Githyanki would be like Necrons >:)

The Lifepath stat basically fills a few very specific roles. First, it gives characters the number of terms they did before becoming "PCs". Second, it represents general knowledge gained during their previous life. It's almost like an education stat. For instance, if Clalibus needed to know...

Sure, sorry it took me so long to remember this. The system isn't complete, and it's much to long and jumbled to post as it is, but I posted an example here. That'll give you an idea where I'm taking it (most of which is stolen from T20), and I can post a full version of it once it gets...

Someone on another thread asked me to post my Lifepath stuff I'm working on. Since it's not done, I'll forward a quick example I wrote up while playtesting it a bit to see what you think. Now, a word of warning. My game is heavily house-ruled, so some things may not look familiar. Most...

Thanks all, especially those who voted for me :) Jeramy Ware, is indeed a ENWorld poster, but I am at work, and the site is blocked here. I am actually sitting in my car "borrowing" wireless from the business next door as I type.

It's a PrC from the Eberron core book. Basically they spend action points to gain extra actions and the like. Sorry, I don't have my book with me, or I would give you better information.

Wow, that's borderline offensive.

Arg, beat me to the punch. Damn my slow typing.

I'm new to podcasts myself, but I'm really enjoying the Dragon's Landing Inn.

It kind of reminds me of Alex Flagg's (Crafty Games) attempt at converting Star Wars to Spycraft. He got rid of the Jedi class altogether and simply made a series of feats to represent the Force. That way, if you want to be a militant Jedi, you play a soldier with the Force. A standard Jedi...

I own my company. Taking time off is unnecessary, I'll simply do it at work :)

In my new campaign I switched things up a bit as well, but strictly from a cultural standpoint. The dwarves a basically late-republic era romans with an ancestor-worship religion. Gnomes are a slave race. Their nation lost a war with the dwarves and the vast majority now serve as thralls...
