There are some valid, interesting points there Technophile. As I said, I am looking to make the staff a suitable replacement for the Wizard's familiar. As such, I anticipate several changes for it to work as I intend to use it. The Eldritch Staff from Path of Magic is pretty nifty, but it...

Hmm, to be honest I don't look at Mongoose books a whole lot. But I see you gave it a very favorable review. So maybe I need to take a look at it. Do you happen to know if that section of mechanics is OGC? Thanks for the suggestion!

For the ones I have, by email address. It looked like I might have had the first 48 names. As I recall, there were roughly 300 donors weren't there? So maybe I had the first 1/6th of the list or so? There could be other volunteers working on this and just maintaining a lower profile. But I...

In the recent What flavor are sorcerers in your campaign? thread, Jon Potter mentioned taking the familiar away from the Wizard and replacing it with a Wizard's Staff. I like the idea and I have been looking at a way to implement it. I don't have the Dragon article mentioned, and would prefer...

OK, it seems I haven't been as clear as I have meant to be regarding the Agents of the Gods campaign. Probably too many late nights and not saying all the things I meant to. ;) There are a couple of issues that I want to kind of clarify. Time: Time is an interesting thing in general, and...

I only have a small portion of the overall list. I would hazard a guess that Cthulhu's Librarian does as well. Dinkledog is probably the only one that can provide a comprehensive answer on that.

One thing that I probably didn't make very clear is the implication of how damage and HP end up working. If you look at the different ways that damage is handled, you will recognize that there are certain ideas and concepts that do not work as well depending on how damage is handled. These can...

Yep, I haven't had a response for 12 hours now. All told, I think that gives me 24 replies and 2 bad addresses out of the 48 emails I sent out. For those of you following the thread, be sure to check your SPAM filters and such. Both Cthulhu's Librarian and I clearly marked subject lines...

OK, I have received responses from roughly half the addresses I have emailed. I also have two bad email addresses and I found an alternate address for one of the bad addresses I had earlier. Given that we are an online community, it seems likely that the greatest flurry of responses will be...

No worries. I don't even expect everyone to answer. Just because some people are that ambivalent on the mechanics. But there are several interesting variants out there that might make for an interesting feel and tone to a game. As well, I am looking at moving away from pure generic D&D...

Sounds fair enough. I have one more NDR. Between replies and bad addresses, I have 1/3 of my portion cleared. Really I don't think that is too bad for just a bit over 12 hours since I sent out the first one. Hopefully more will come in today while I am at work. How long do we want to wait...

Ah, Gwen neglected to mention the part where Aaron attacked with his greatsword at the doorway to the tower. I had described the tower as being very adobe-like. It was built very stout with hardened adobe brick. The group was trying to push back the ogres at the doorway. Aaron attacked and...

Damage, dying and death (And Armor too!) OK, we all know hit points. I'm sure we all see how they are an abstraction at best and don't necessarily reflect pure physical damage that your PC receives. How does everyone feel about HP? Love the mechanic? Hate the mechanic? Somewhere in...

A few questions then. You wouldn't want to see an internal combustion engine, but what about a magical engine that essentially serves the same type of purpose? Let's consider the necromantic engine that powered the flying ship. Essentially it servers as a replacement for an internal...

OK, I sent out the last of the emails for my list a short time ago. So far, I have 7 replies as well as 2 bad address rejects. As I said, I think I know who one of the folks is and have tried to contact that person through alternate channels. Etiquette-wise, would it be a gross...

Dang Aaron! You were fast. I was still getting ready to open a browser window to tell everyone that my first series of emails is out and I already have one response :) (Aaron_L) and one reject. :( I think I might know who the reject is though so I am going to try alternate methods of...

OK Folks, The concert I went to last night went later than expected so I didn't get around to this until lunchtime today. I even brought my laptop to work with me so I could work on this. :) I have the A's prepped to go and as soon as I reconnect to my home network, and my ISP, they will be...

I think the question is more a feature request. If the person cannot receive PMs, either due to a choice, or lack of account access, do not show PM as an option to contact the person.

Agents of the Gods: We have reached a point where we have 4 PCs in that game now. Mike has his PC finished up. Potentially we can play with very few. There is a lot of stuff that can be done. But yes, there are rough spots in that game where being undergunned could be bad. But seriously...

I volunteered to help a bit. I have a list of email addresses and will be trying to send some out tonight. I'm not sure if either one of you are on my part of the list or not, but it looks like I have A's & B's, with a few C's. Mind you, those are email addresses, not usernames. So be on the...
