I hate it for both the bait and switch and its (IMHO) awful content. When it first came out, I thought some of it was at least funny, and tried to run it; and it was pretty unusably bad. It put its jokes ahead of being a good adventure, far far ahead, and it suffered terribly for it. But...

Not a bad idea! So far I have been using 1d10 + Dex score, which is quick and easy. But your idea is more consistent with the rest of the game. On the other hand, I wonder if it would slow things down somehow- I really put a premium on making the game move pretty fast.

Currently reading Building Steam (Pratchett), which is not as entertaining as the other books of his that I have read. Next up are Nona the Ninth (apparently the third book in the series that started with Gideon the Ninth) and Seveneves, by Neal Stephenson.

So an update. First of all, I have changed a few things; bonus dice start at a d4 now, I have removed Action Surge from fighters, and I have instituted Action Points for all characters. These work like in 4e: they reset to 1 AP after a long rest and you gain 1 AP about every other meaningful...

I'm a long time regular player and DM and I don't like the new stuff. It's got some serious power creep, it fails to offer sufficient DM support- the lack of rules for making a new monster is a particularly egregious case in point- and quite a few of the decision made (e.g. what has happened...

I haven't made it through the whole thread yet, but has anyone else mentioned Airwolf, Misfits of Science, and Stingray?

Gurpleburg Oontz ("Babbling brook, single drop" in Aquan)- water genasi barbarian, but an erudite barbarian. He reads and writes, he casts (a few) spells (from his race and the gate warden background from Planescape), his "rage" is actually letting the River Oceanus flow through him and has...

Something in the style of 3e's Unearthed Arcana- a book of alternate rules, allowing for a lot more customization and fine tuning of the game toward different playstyles.

Duskblade, ardent, runepriest, seeker, and jock are ones I can think of off the top of my head that aren't on the list yet. Yes, the jock was an adventuring class from Dragon Magazine back in the day, albeit one from (as I recall) an April issue.

These are my notes for the first adventure I'm running for one group that is playing my custom system ("DnD Jazz"): (EDIT: Maps not included. They are hand drawn and the city map is something like 3' x 4'.) ADVENTURERS’ INITIATION The pcs are the next group of possible initiates into the...

Just finished Morning Star, the third Red Rising book; next up is Harrow the Ninth, sequel to Gideon the Ninth.

Currently reading Morning Star, the third Red Rising book. Then on to Harrow the Ninth. And I just finished Snuff, by Terry Pratchett, who is an author about as enjoyable and humorous as Douglas Adams for me.

Perhaps Paranoia? It's very funny, but a constant series of disasters for the pcs.

Rassled with a storm giant.

Ghost wagon is drawing undead.

I really like the Sovereign (E) design. My second favorite is the refit (A)/original Enterprise. The Galaxy class is really far down my list- probably last. I just don't like its looks, and never have.

Yes... with caveats. I want to know what my character would know. So it depends/somewhere in between. Yes.

Awesome!!! One of my personal favorites returns!

Yeah, but it's neither an adventure or a setting, although it includes some setting material. It's a whole system. That said, I love me some Arduin.

Or maybe he meant what he said at the time, but something or someone persuaded him to change his position. I don't think it's too generous to acknowledge that Goodman isn't necessarily a liar. Sometimes things change. Which isn't to justify that change- I think it was probably a bad decision-...
