Psion already chimed in with my first thought - the PCs lead a small escape team to another dimension and seal it off from barsoom, allowing barsoom to be destroyed, but preserving the PCs in a pristine new world (kind of the "Adam and Eve" story?). Your next campaign can be set in the new...

It is an easy thing to fix... in fact, I'm currently working up the companion volume to the Player's Guide you linked to - a GM's guide. Right now, I am looking to include the following: 1 - Monsters 2 - Treasure 3 - Traps 4 - A Sample Dungeon 5 - A few odd examples and some notes for...

The problem with the bard as written is that his principle schtick - his music - is woefully underdeveloped. Plain and simple. I mean, if your wizard had the same spell list as every other wizard, and there was only one spell per level, it would suck. Clerics have tons of domains and spells...

Not a good example - the apple is the object of your desire (to satisfy your hunger) in this case, not the vendor. The vendor is merely that which is required to facilitate you getting you the object you want. Thus, you have not objectified a person. In the case of prostitution, the body of...

Looked in my FRCS. They made it an "Instantaneous" duration spell, 1d8 fire damage (5d8 max) with (IIRC) multiple rays. :( --The Sigil

(Without reading the rest of the thread) oD&D immediately jumps to mind. You remember, the one that eventually morphed into the Basic/Expert/Companion/Master/Immortal Boxed Sets and upon which most D&Ders cut their teeth? First printing: 1977 Nineteenth printing: 1999...

Or perhaps (and I recognize this, too) the spell type is particularly ill-suited to direct-damage spells. ;) --The Sigil

Hopefully that "can't do anything else" is itself offset by the (D) in the duration - the caster can end the effect and do something else if he so chooses. ;) And of course, if he wants to do something else but doesn't need to use the hand taken up by the jet spell, he's free to cast other...

It was, in my view, the weakest of the spells included (in terms of effect versus spell level). I wanted to err on the side of weakness, however. On further review, I think you're right - the 15 dice may be a good cap to use. My concern was not so much with the damage dealt (even at 15d4 per...

Geez, a revision already! ;) When the spell was originally written, it was set as a level 3 spell (at which point the d4 per two levels makes a bit of a difference) without the fatigue effect; however, on further testing, that turned out to be too good for a level 3 spell. It was still too...

That's in the hopper, too. ;) Other things I am working on include the Basic GM's Guide and formatting/cleaning up the other 4 out of 6 adventures - but we're going to be selling our home and moving within the next month or two, so time will be hard to come by. :( --The Sigil

S.T. Cooley Publishing is proud to present our latest release, "Arcane Arsenal: Jet Spells" This is the second product in S.T. Cooley Publishing's "Shaheen's Scratchpad" line. This line consists of "short subject" works focused tightly on a single subject. Arcane Arsenal: Jet Spells...

Gotta be careful, though, as I deliberately "cut out" some of the special abilities and combat options all us "advanced players" are used to in the interest of ease of use. Miss chance, for example, while interesting, is one more mechanic for a newbie to wrap their head around - which I want to...

Hey, all... I have been inspired of late to work up a "sequel" to my Basic Player's Guide - a Basic GMs Guide (I won't provide a pluggy link, because I am providing this information as context for my question, not as a plug) - and need some help. I need to find 25-ish "iconic" monsters from...

I've used his sheets for years... so I sent a little donation his way. Least I could do.

Hey, I want in on that! Oh, and bump... any word yet? --The Sigil

IN this sense, I think the first definition of "Objectification" from dictionary.com works just fine: "To present or regard as an object." We do not (usually) get into relationships with objects (when we do, a "personification" has developed - we treat that old car or the dearly loved teddy...

Maybe not, but I find it interesting that when WotC had the "talent purge" (Sean K Reynolds, Monte Cook, Chris Pramas either leaving or being "let go") I heard rumblings that the problem wasn't that the D&D unit wasn't making money... the problem was "it wasn't making money hand-over-fist" (or...
