No no no no no no no no no no. No. The problem with this, higher is better, is that you no longer have an upper limit. This creates problems for d20 starting around level 18 and getting worse in Epic. Further, for drama purposes, the game keeps increasing the DCs of skills for higher level...

Been gone, so I am behind on this thread. I did and I used many of them there, including Red Dragon's fantasy rules. It's all awesome and I still read a bit in the forums there, don't get me wrong. But, for myself, I really do feel like I played out the options and wanted more than can be...

Coming late to this as well but it's been a fascinating read, so thanks to all who have participated! For myself: 1E: Secondary skills were an okay idea but too random. If they had broken up the charts by class, race or even geography (town vs wilderness) it would have been better. I...

Wow. A good question. Assumptions: Alternity system is not heroic but realistic game. Dark*Matter and Star*Drive still used as settings under Alternity. Keep: MOGA roll results, durability tracks, weapons and armor, F/X and mindwalker skills, miin/max limits on ability scores based on...

Oooo. What's Joss Whedon's Runaways? I read his Astonishing X-Men and enjoyed that as a nice stand alone comic. Back to the DND comics. I did try and collect them, both back in the 80s/90s and the ones from about a decade ago. Most of the time I try and get the trades, so I at least have a...

In the fwiw category, I pre-ordered it and thought the PDFs read VERY WELL. Probably some of the best RPG books I have read, and that's a lot. I would love to be able to play this game. As someone else said, the RPG books contain spoilers through book 10 but the earlier books are "more...

I also disagree with the OP's point, especially in 2E. However, I don't blame them, as game designing was still "new" and DND was the main RPG. Without getting into the details of game design, RPGs were used for a lot of different reasons, same as board games. In playing RISK with anyone...

Woo hoo! Now I just have to make it in to get my kit! edg

I got them back in the day and still have them. I take them out and re-read them every five years or so. I think the AD&D title was best but I love Waterdeep and they stayed a bit more serious The FR title could be goofy especially with the Avatar stuff, as mentioned. I, too, am wondering...

:D Wow! I just noticed it as it was four minutes old, according the RSS feed! You are good! I liked it! Of course, I love OotS! edg

I am curious, now that it can't be downloaded, what's going on with it. Good luck to the creator, whatever happens! edg

love it! Love it! LOVE IT! I fell in love with Alternity after reading it. I really enjoyed it and had my group play it in a Dark*Matter campaign and I enjoyed it. So much that I ran Star*Drive and then a fantasy game using Alternity. I even went out and bought multiple copies of the PH...

As I have said, I wanted to help bring DND to others, so starting running Encounters at Mayhem in West Des Moines. (shameless plug but I am not an employee or owner!) I went to a game day and was told about the DND encounters and the person organizing it needed help. I gladly volunteered...

There have been some really good points here. I agree that the history isn't needed. It would be cool if Dark Sun wasn't a standard fantasy world that is now different. For me, there are some things that I want ideas in how to explain them. For example, most of the world is illiterate...

This wiki entry Dark Sun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia has a lot of this information as well. I know I keep using it instead of the second boxed set, where I think most of this came from. I also agree that a new and different history, or several options of history, would be cool for...

I decided to get involved with this and went to Game Day for PH3. I ended up running the adventure instead of playing but was fine with that. A good group of guys and a fun time! Not only was it free but we were told WotC sent out Pizza Hut gcs and we got a pizza for our table out of it! I...

I run a weekly game with Masterplan, a total of seven computer, four webcams, TightVNC and instant messaging. So far, it's worked great for over two years now! If you want details, let me know. edg

I already have a remote group, well some of them, and so this interested me. I downloaded and played with it and it's pretty good. The only bad side for my group is we play 4E and while it could support it, it would be work. So, if you play 3E, it looks like this would work well! I know...

Neither. I started DA:O a while back and nothing is pulling me back to it. It's not that interesting to me. The thing is, same for NWN2. I found AI in both of them to be terrible. I don't know what it is but computer RPG games don't do it for me. I have even started the Witcher but...

Well, I will try. As I said in MetaDM's review, while I understand the importance of sound, I'm not good at recreating. So, if it's simple and easy, I might be able to make it work. I will see if I can make this work for me. Thanks! edg
