What no Mystic? I was playing one of those to 4th level. But I also had a Paladin which was on the list.

Well when I run a game I try to set what a reasonable exchange of services might look like. (i.e. What does the NPC need that the players can supply [quest runs, magic items, solutions to their own diplomatic problems, and/or other services). It becomes a negotiation of who wants to pay what...

So it's clear from the Giants descriptions and SKT that the lowest storm giant is better than the highest ranked cloud giant but would giants from different types ever marry and/or produce offspring? My players were seeking an interesting solution to dealing with the ambition of a cloud giant...

I liked the vibe of Arcanum 101: New Students but it's a mix of magic and science which I would love to do with GURPS. http://www.mercedeslackey.com/books/arcanum.html Magicians was college level students and I think the SyFy show is a good reference as well as the books.

Do you let your players know the kind of game you are planning? I used to hang out on the Pyramid newsgroup and one thing that always impressed me was treating starting your game as if both the GM and the players were auditioning for each other. The GM gives a synopsis of the goals of the...

I've used the Stone Giants elites and the Cloud Giant elites and they both gave the party a new fear of giants. The party loved the description of the Stone Giant Runecarver with his spells written into his body.

Does anyone know what issue of Dungeon the AL site goes up to? It looks like I have to select TSR or Paizo to get the different publishers of the magazine. It would be nice if I could pick Dungeon and then set the issues I have available.

As per spell description you have to be able to see your allies at the start of the spell casting to exclude them from the effects. Too bad people coming around the corner later and invisible or hidden party members.

I thought The Expanse was originally a modified GURPS Transhuman Space game TL8-9 with a reactionless drive available. I would love to see the campaign notes for the game though. EDIT: I was wrong, apparently it was a D20 Modern game. One of the players just prefers GURPS.

oops double post

I run a game at the Long Beach (CA) Unitarian Universalist Church. I won't turn down any players and we range from 10 to 50 at different times. The 10 year old and her brothers moved away so the youngest now is 12 and her father plays too. I've had to limit teenagers from playing evil...

For me the problem with Maelstrom is there isn't any clear way to exit. Sure the conch gets you there but nothing takes you back. Fine if the players wait until teleport is available but doesn't make sense for the giants without access to magic/teleport. SKT definitely requires some playing...

I always enjoyed the James Bond RPG over Top Secret. If I wasn't using GURPS or HERO system.

As a DM, I work to present multiple plot lines and let the players pursue those they are interested in. Often they will follow multiple plots at a time a main villain plot and a few secondary plots. Plots players don't follow up either get resolved off screen by other heroes but not as well as...

I use this all the time too and I've contributed to creating xml data for some UA and some monsters

It would seem that you'd want proficiency in grapple or at least to be able to hit (on) your spouse better on your wedding night.

I find myself paying attention to CR for the most powerful opponent and then add minions as necessary to complicate the situation. The only kinds of solo's I use are ones with legendary actions or ability to hit and run. I have a large party most of the time so what I try to pay attention to...

I've been using the Game Master tool from Lion's Den and with the ability to import my own XML data, I'm not sure that this has much added value to me. This is late to the game and I already have a tool that does what they say they will do by phase 3.

I played 1st edition and then played other RPGs (GURPS, Champions, CoC, other) and then after college I didn't have a regular group to play in and I don't usually care for online groups. I found a 3rd ed group but they were mostly combat optimizers and I didn't fit in with them. When my kids...

I'm using the witch class that one of my players was interested in. I also would use the 4 elements monk changes I've seen.
