Then there was the number of skills that Felix eeked out with the features of the Wanderer class! But no, none of it seemed to be unbalancing. If you want to find traps with decent DCs you still need the Trapfinding class ability. I suppose UMD could get unbalancing at some point, but it just...

Races So what races should we keep around for the next campaign? I am partial toward the following for PC races. Humans Gnomes Halflings Hobgoblins - Possibly Everything else is something I am unsure on. As I am plotting out the world, I will probably make decisions based on the cool...

Gods, Powers, etc Melinda asked me last night if I would be using the same gods and such in the next campaign. I certainly can! I like some of them a lot. But I am asking about everything else. so why not ask about this? What do you folks think about the Gods and Powers? Should I hold the...

Well, yes you have. But there are others involved in the game. ;) OK, keep in mind a few things here when I ask about Planar Interactions. That includes things like outsiders being included in the game, spells that interact with the planes, etc. In a game where the planes have very little...

I'm sure there are other threads with comparisons, but I am interested in comparing current feature sets of Campaign Cartographer and Fractal Mapper. First off, I am at least passingly familiar with Campaign Cartographer. I have used it since DOS days and have been on the upgrade path since...

Whoa! Bad Axe Games recently released a product named Mythic Heroes. It looked interesting to me as one thing I might use to award you guys when you finally do something noteworthy enough to be considered legends. (What? You didn't think that hero cards were the only reward you will ever get...

Oh my! The exclamations I would otherwise use are not friendly enough. Wulf, that is freakin inspiring. I guess my only concern is that my normal group is a large group, 7 players. So there will definitely be some sort of overlap. As well, I can see where archetypes might change between...

Skills What does everyone think of the way we are currently using skills? I haven't seen very many people moving outside the normal boundaries so it hasn't really come into play yet. But would you prefer to revert back to the standard rules regarding skills? Or should we continue to use them...

Well sure, in terms of raw time. But then, that has little practical impact when you only get one action within that 1 minute long round. Comparing between editions is much easier if you retain the 'round' unit of measure.

Just a bit of commentary here. I am asking all of these questions to see what you guys think you prefer with your gaming 'experience'. I am pretty sure that, as a group, we don't want to delve down into completely immersive roleplay 90% of the time. I am pretty sure we don't want to go for...

Classes As you have probably guessed, the removal of Clerics and Monks will carry over into the next campaign. Divine spellcasters will be covered, in all likelihood, by the Priest from Priests of the Celestial Spheres, the Faith Caster and the Thaumaturge from Path of Faith and the Shaman...

Well heck Wulf, I will post a topic because I am interested now. I've been preoccupied with RL for a bit and I didn't even see an announcement about Mythic Heroes. I have just seen a casual reference here and there, and the link in your .sig. So tell me about this Mythic Heroes product...

I'm not sure you could make it smaller without losing a lot of the picture. It might be easier to crop the picture. But it doesn't sound like that is what you are looking for either.

It's interesting that the IP for the originating server is assigned to Global Net Access in Atlanta Georgia. Isn't White wolf located in or near Atlanta? I wonder what the odds are that the perp is a former employee of White Wolf that is trying to 'get even' or something equally childish?

Primarily because I am not looking to just replace the fluff element. I want to change the fundamental flavor with a different mechanic. It is a little more convoluted than that of course, but that is the gist of it. My next campaign is going to be different from what I have been running in...

Remarkably similar in many ways. I just kept my post relatively short since I was also being distracted by kids rampaging through the house. :) Your commentary on advancing plans 'offstage' is a crucial piece of the equation that I neglected to mention. It is one of the things that intrigues...

I design NPCs with goals. Everybody has a goal in life. It might be to have a healthy family, it might be to get rich, it might be to gain personal power, overthrow the king, reclaim a heritage, destroy a person/place/thing, cheat death, or whatever. NPCs have goals. Next figure out how...

Absolutely! It isn't the only decision, not by any means. But it definitely has an impact at some point. Interacting with the author and publisher gives me insight into which people have thought processes that complement mine. This makes things easier to integrate into my games. It is kind...

Planar Interactions One thing that hasn't been a particularly strong element in our games has been planar travel and interaction. Obviously the Agents of the Gods campaign is delving into planar aspects, but the focus is still very much on the material plane. Planar travel can be...

Purzel, You have some really neat ideas here. Thanks for sharing! I'm not sure that is exactly what I am looking for, but it is a great bit of work you have here.
