I am a professional forum lurker, both at enworld and rpg.net. I enjoyed reading the passionate discussions, but I didn't write much, specially because English is not my first language. But I'm very tired. In these last months something changed, and the struggle between D&D4 and 3.5/Pathfinder...

Is it possible to use normal 3.5E monsters (for example, from the MM) with d20 Modern? Is there a conversion guide or no changes are necessary? Thanks.

Sometimes I read in these forums that the new GSL will avoid one indesirable effect the d20/OGL licenses had: the 90% of crappy books that flooded the market. I know the vast majority of 3PP supplements were terrible, although 90% of published fantasy literature, even mainstream literature, is...

In his famous post, Clark says that "The market for 3E is not there". And I really believe him. But do you think we'll see new OGL games based on d20/3.5? I don't mean generic games like Pathfinder or True20, but books with a setting, like Conan, Etherscope or M&M. Do you think there's still a...

I know, it's for balance reasons, and one of the core assumptions of D&D. In other games, like Ars Magica, wizards can magically heal. But what's the in-game reason? Why in no D&D/AD&D game setting a single mage has developed a "cure wounds" spell? Come on, it's only moving a bit of flesh, not...

The other day I was wondering how many OGL fantasy games, based on the d20 system, are out there. I mean books with a complete set of rules, not just campaign settings. For example: Conan Pathfinder (still Alpha) Etherscope OGL Steampunk OGL Ancients More names?

I've been mastering for nearly 20 years now, and in all my groups I've had one kind of player: the one who doesn't want complex rules and just kill the monsters by hiting them with a big weapon. Of course I had other players, including those who loved long spell lists and the ones trying to find...

I have read that this setting has a "big secret", which is the cause of the apocalypse. Is this secret explained in the main campaign book?

Yesterday I spent two hours with the core books at a friend's place. The rules are completely different, but the game’s philosophy goes back to AD&D1. The “role playing” part of the game is downgraded compared to 3E, and everything is around combat, combat and more combat (the famous “character...

I love the Planes concept in D&D, I really do. Planescape is my favourite AD&D campaign setting, and even before it I used them for High Fantasy stories. But we must admit that they're a wonderful castle built on sand. After reading the three marvelous boxed sets describing the Outer Planes...
