What's D&D? Last played that before the move to 4E. Since: PF1, PF2, Fantasy Trip, Lancer, Traveller(blend of recent Mongoose and older stuff).

Could do worse then read up on the US based Lewis and Clark expedition then find a game system that best models that adventure. GURPS might make a good fit.

A lot of 20th century authors probably read many of the dime novels about the American West when they were young. Said dime novels would pre-date TV/Movie westerns by many decades. Same novels were probably sold in Europe and other places during the heyday of the traveling Western Shows of the...

I have learned to mostly separate something from its creator. If a story, or invention, is good, enjoy it or use it. If the person that made it is bad, stay away or punish the person.

Haven't had OP's fingerprint problems but those public use touch screens are about a 50/50 tossup as to being able to use one without applying moisture to my fingertip. Try not to think too much about how many other people have the same problem and use the same solution.

Not exactly a tale of adventurers meeting but there is the mention in the Bible about "No room at the inn" for Jesus being born in a manger and later shepherds arriving to see him after being told about the birth by angels. It does sort of check the "Meet the mysterious stranger" box. Seems...

Most definitely not a new thing. Played several D&D/Traveller crossovers before D&D had versions. Between planar travel, gates and miss jumps, fairly easy to provide an in game explanation for D&D characters suddenly appearing on the bridge of a Scout ship or said Scout ship setting down...

I think the welcome lack of CPM or W at cons is most cons mention in the con docs that lack of personal hygiene can result in revocation of a con badge. I imagine that most CPMs reform or give up on cons after being booted a couple of times. Also, CPM can't hide behind the pall of smoke that...

Liches are normally intelligent(often very much so) and very driven by a desire to stay alive. Kinda how something becomes a lich. Playing one as less then very smart is setting up a participation trophy scenario. If the thing has a powerful effective spell, not using it so the players can...

If you can print it yourself, places like Kinkos(often Fedex) will bind for a reasonable fee. Having it printed there plus the binding can get costly. Or use 3 hole paper and 'bind' with a 3 hole notebook.

The story wouldn't be any better if the end boss played weak so the characters could win easy. Pretty much a meaningless participation trophy at that point. The risk of a true boss fight at high level is bad things can happen. With no clue as to the tactical situation of the battle, second...

The poll assumes D&D is the only alternative. My group left the D&D fold when 4e came out. Switched to Pathfinder and others instead and so far we haven't looked back. So the selection is.... the non existing answer 6.

Good defense against ranged attack is ranged attack. When goblin archers start targeting the party's archers, its all fair. Whatever the party has available for attacks, or defense, the opposition should have available as well.

Oddly, as part of my collection, I also have a Dallas game. The Game Store had several when I was in college and was giving them away. Don't think it has ever been played. No Gorn but I do have a Harcourt Fenton Mudd figure. Task for later today is to pickup 3 large bookcases purchased for...

General. With indexes similar to the PF1 Bestiary: CR, terrain, role, etc. If you are going to publish more then one, maintain an online master index so one can quickly reference all the monsters and figure out which book has the one you want.

Why? The purpose of a point buy character system is to be able to build a custom character. The point cost of telepathy is offset part/fully by the point gain of deafness. Would you lessen the cost of deafness if the character had the sign language skill? The classic example of 'free'...

Share the overage items with others or make tactical decisions on which items to attune before a mission. If you are about to enter the Cave of Icy Doom, the Staff of Frost might not be very useful as a lot of the critters in such a cave might be cold resistant while being able to travel a bit...

Seems like a perfectly allowable combo. Deafness relates to communication via sound waves. Telepathy is communications via mental waves. Two different things. Much like blindness could be offset by acute hearing. Also, deafness with telepathy seems to be a close description of the aliens...

Is there any export option for said content or is it just gone forever? This does highlight the danger of creating stuff on someone else's servers.

I have a couple of this version.... Sadly, don't currently have storage space for the other variation. But it looks cool.
