    Hrothgar, just a quick note to let you know I will be on vacation from this Sunday, October 8th through Thursday, October 19th. I will possibly have internet access while I'm away but will probably have little time for posting. I will return to normal posting on Friday, October 20th. Feel...

    Out of the Frying Pan... (d20 Star Wars)

    "Let's get near the starport, try to find Haebes," Femi says, already heading towards the back door. "Let's stick to the alleys out of sight. Once we make it to the place where Haebes was docked, someone may need to sneak in and see if he's been...bothered by the Imperials." Femi cautiously...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 3, Baden's Bluff

    Valurel staggers under the impact of the vardatch and grunts in pain as the blade bites deep into his shoulder. With a feral roar, he again attacks the orc who wounded him, spittle flying from his mouth in his rage. OOC: Claw attack +6/+6 to hit, 1d4+5 damage each

    Out of the Frying Pan... (d20 Star Wars)

    With a weary sigh, Femi quietly moves to Tal's side. "Be still a moment," he whispers. He lays his hand on the worst of Tal's wounds, closes his eyes and calls on the force to mend it. He doesn't go out of his way to hide it but he does attempt to use his body to block the line of sight of...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 3, Baden's Bluff

    Valurel turns his attention to the orc savaging Ensin. With a feral cry, he springs towards the orc and slashes with his blood-soaked claws again, hoping to finish off his foe quickly. OOC: Claw attack +6/+6 to hit, 1d4+5 damage each, unless he only gets one because he had to move too far.

    Best system for a Pulp/Indy game?

    I had heard really good things about Pulp Hero but the Hero System rulebook is intimidating in its sheer size. Spirit of the Century sounds pretty cool as well. I might have to check that one out. Thanks for all the suggestions and opinions everyone!

    Best system for a Pulp/Indy game?

    In the same spirit as the Yarr! What be yer' favorite system for runnin' a Pirate game?! thread, I was wondering what folks here consider to be the best game system for running a pulp heroes/Indiana Jones type game? I have d20 Past, which has the Pulp Heroes campaign model and seems like it...

    Yarr! What be yer' favorite system for runnin' a Pirate game?!

    d20 Past has the Age of Adventure campaign model, which covers pirates, muskateers and the like. Having only read the book, I have no idea how it plays but the information in d20 Past combined with d20 Modern would probably make a decent pirate game.

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 3, Baden's Bluff

    Valurel curses under his breath as the orcs move in. He is barely able to restrain himself as the orcs begin hurling insults and taunts. A few moments later, he watches helplessly as Fallax makes an attempt to kill Herger. Somewhere deep inside Valurel was not overly surprised by the...

    [FULL] Star Wars D20 Revised Episode III - Episode IV

    Shadow, is that the first XP we've received since we started? I still had Femi at 3,000 XP, which was minimum for 3rd level. Had we earned any other XP since we started playing? I don't recall. No biggie either way, just checking. I did add the 600 you just awarded to Femi's character...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 3, Baden's Bluff

    "You may join our group but trust must be earned...and I will be watching." Valurel says simply, a hard scowl on his face. "Let us make plans to be away from this place as soon as possible. We have a long journey ahead."

    [FULL] Star Wars D20 Revised Episode III - Episode IV

    I have been in the same boat as Bobitron over the past week or so. Busy. While I have had time to check in from time to time, posting has been more difficult. I should be able to post more frequently now though. Shadow, I will warn you now though...I will be on vacation from October 8th...

    Out of the Frying Pan... (d20 Star Wars)

    Femi regards the strangers with an impassive look, listening to the exchange between Tal and the Bothan and wincing when the Bothan mentions the word Jedi. He was still trying to get used to the idea that he needed to cover up his true identity and abilities. So much had happened in such a...

    [Scarred Lands] I call on the power of Nightfall

    Okay, I'm not Nightfall but... You can try this site. And this one is the Scarred Lands wiki. And yet another decent site. This one has good background information on the world and it also has a full-color PDF map of the world as well. Maybe Nightfall will come along and point out some...

    Shout out to Psion!

    Let me just add that I have never met Psion nor have I ever had an online discussion with him of any kind. I just felt the need to compliment him on his great reviews. After reading one of his reviews, I feel like I've actually skimmed the material being reviewed. When I have doubts as to...

    Shout out to Psion!

    Not sure this is the appropriate place to put this but... I just wanted to say thanks to Psion. His reviews in the review database have really been an excellent source for me to determine whether I really want a book or not. He has reviewed so many of the books I have been interested in over...

    How do you go about making your own world?

    Tinkering is an excellent way of putting it. I am constantly tinkering with my world. Sometimes I have thought that I've spent so much time working on the world that I have little time to work on the actual campaign itself. But then I realize that my best campaign ideas have been born out of...

    How do you go about making your own world?

    World-building can be quite difficult and is pretty time-consuming. However, it is fun and rewarding. I've been working on my own world for over a year now, and it remains a serious work in progress. In my current campaign, running since this past February, I started with a continent that I...

    Midnight: A Lost Faith's Shadow. Book 1, The Awakening. Chapter 3, Baden's Bluff

    Valurel flashes his claws at the insurgents, a low guttural growl coming from deep in his throat. "Stand away from the girl or many of you will die here today," he hisses, spittle flying from his mouth. He drops into a crouch, ready to launch himself into combat with the people standing...
