    Fantasy Concepts: An OGL Fantasy Saga Project

    Good Afternoon, All: I'm writing today in regards to Alignment, that component of the rules where you indicate in broad and general terms how you will be playing your character. How would you suggest we approach that particular subject? Should we use alignment as it appears in the SRD? Should...

    What actually occured between TSR and Role Aids?

    They probably don't have permission. The material mentioned above is old stock from the warehouse, that kind of thing. Other than that, they probably have no desire to be in the RPG business. The stuff should work with limited translations for 1st Edition, 2nd Edition, C&C, and those kinds of...

    Base Attack Innovation

    Like Defense Bonuses under SWSE, I'd assume each class has a one-time offset, and when multiclassing, you take the biggest offset instead of adding them together. At least, that would be my suggestion under such a system, Flynn

    Fantasy Concepts: An OGL Fantasy Saga Project

    Actually, that's not a bad idea. However, I am considering getting rid of it just because several people have posted concerns about abuse. Your input might change that, though. Let's see what they say about it. Thanks, Flynn

    Fantasy Concepts: An OGL Fantasy Saga Project

    Current OGL is -4, and I've included an optional rule to change those to -5. This protects us legally, and the implementation is as simple as saying you use the Combat Consistency Optional Rule. Please bear in mind that, for legal reasons, we cannot simply duplicate Saga word for word, so there...

    Con assistance needed ASAP

    If you posted a maximum for your game, you can stick with your original plan and just limit the number of players to your posted maximum. Otherwise, I would suggest that you organize them into teams of four, with a caller or leader for each team. If you need to, create an NPC that is the...

    What actually occured between TSR and Role Aids?

    I would suggest that you first check this out if you are interested in the old Role-Aids products: http://www.mayfairgames.com/shop-special/roleaids/mfg-ra.html The prices are incredible. Check out the Demons campaign setting, 7 products for only $13...

    D&D 4E What do you think of the 4E background to demons & devils?

    I voted "not concerned" because I don't use the Great Wheel cosmology anyway. My cosmology was shaped by Mayfair's Role-Aids supplements, particularly the Demons campaign setting. Likely, I'll continue to use my own cosmology going forward. I do like the direction of the new cosmology on a...

    What actually occured between TSR and Role Aids?

    All I know is that I really enjoyed the old Role Aids products, and try to use material inspired by them in my campaigns, even under 3E/v3.5. :) The Demons Setting was the best of that type I've seen to date, IMHO. YMMV, of course. With Regards, Flynn

    Stop DMing

    More than one four hour session spent sitting in a bar with no forward motion in regards to the campaign would kill the game for me. Heck, having lived through that just one session, I should probably say that doing it for one session would put me close to the edge. I am all about forward...

    Typo on the front page?

    It's pulled directly from Chris Thomasson's blog entry, so the original error comes from there. Since Morrus isn't directly quoting him with the quote tags, he could probably change it without a problem. Hope That Helps, Flynn

    Is it still D&D?

    I thought that was Classic Traveller... yeah, I'm sure of it. Classic Traveller is the one true game, as the quote often goes. Just ask any (Classic) Traveller fan. ;) Hasta, Flynn

    What other games do you play?

    Over the last six months, I've played: Grim Tales D&D 3.5 Traveller T20 Classic Traveller Star Wars Saga Edition Deadlands Classic My favorites have been the two Traveller systems and Grim Tales, but I've enjoyed them all. Hope That Helps, Flynn

    Is it still D&D?

    Yeah, but if you don't already like OD&D, it's harder to jump on that bandwagon... Just A Thought, Flynn

    What Makes an Encounter Exciting?

    To Quoth The Raven: I'd daresay that Factor #3 would be the primary means of empowering that fight, by giving the goblins class levels so that the stakes are higher and there's a chance to lose. At that point, since there's only one character, Factor #4 is an automatic, and if you're facing...

    Must you have and use every book for D&D

    I didn't vote for anything, because there's no option really for only getting the things that sound interesting. I'm not really interested in keeping up with the Joneses, and I don't have a problem saying "I'm only using these rules", etc. I guess having a few years of being tight on money...

    Fantasy Concepts: An OGL Fantasy Saga Project

    Regarding the conversion of Spell Resistance... Good Afternoon, All: In terms of converting SR for creatures, since there's already a power check, presumably at half character level to keep it in line with Save Scores, we should not have a second roll for the SR. The same power check should be...

    Why all the fiendish love?

    Umm, why does a trend in one gaming product line have to be about our society? I've never been of the view that D&D represents our society, simply because high schools play football on Friday nights instead of D&D. (There are a lot of other reasons for believing that D&D does not represent our...

    Fantasy Concepts: An OGL Fantasy Saga Project

    Needing some input, please... Good Afternoon, All: I would like some input on how to address the following special abilities under Saga. I just don't remember if these are covered in SWSE, and so I may have to consider alternative approaches (or just leave them as they stand). Please share...

    Do your D&D campaigns use additonal rules?

    My current preference is Core Rules plus House Rules specific to the setting. Once Fantasy Concepts is done... well, we'll see. :) With Regards, Flynn
