    Rules Questions

    I have a few rules questions if anyone might happen to know the answers. First, a little background. I joined this group a number of months back. The campaign is fairly well established, with characters up around 17th level. The players in the group trade off GMing duties. I recently opted...

    Oh hmm...it does appear to be working today. It wasn't yesterday afternoon before I posted that message. All is well! SB

    Community Supporter Account upgrade

    Last week, I went through the process of becoming a Community Supporter. I paid the $19.99, but I never saw any change in my account, nor did I receive any emails notifying me a change was made. What is my next step? SB

    Saga: The Jedi Council

    A friend of mine adapted Star Wars to World of Darkness to run a game that took place during the Knights of the Old Republic era. During that game, he decided that Yoda was a Whill. SB

    Star Wars Adventure Writing

    I actually ran across this last night, then saw your post today. An article written by Steve Darlington on Star Wars adventures: http://ptgptb.org/0022/theforce.html -SB

    Item Help - Magical Books

    Currently, the game has items that will allow you to inrease your stats by reading them. I am looking to create a similar item that will allow a character to increase a skill in the same manner. I would like to keep the bonus along the lines of the currently existing magic books. At the end...

    Sneak Attacks

    I'm a level 17 rogue/swashbucker with Two Weapon Fighting and Improved Two Weapon Fighting. I get three attacks normally, plus an additional two attacks for the two weapon fighting feats. More than likely, if the group actually lets me do sneak attack damage on a flatfooted target again, I...

    Sneak Attacks

    I situation recently came up in my D&D game. My character is a rogue, and thus has the Sneak Attack ability. We were in a fight, and I was informed by the other players that when I made my attack, before the flat-footed manticores we were fighting, I would only be able to get my Sneak Attack...

    Setting the Hook

    I have no intention of granting any character godhood, but that is one of the character's long term goals. Which, in this particular case, means that it provides a great hook. The carrot to lure the party into some adventure. My preference is to use character goals and desires as a hook...

    Setting the Hook

    I am currently in the process of creating an adventure for a group I play with. The trick is I haven't been playing with this group for very long, and am trying to find an appropriate hook to draw the characters into the adventure I'm planning. I've come up with three ideas, but have rejected...

    [Star Wars] SECR Preview #5 is up

    I had to do a double-take on this as I asked myself the question "Where did Tarkin pick up levels as a Wookiee soldier?"

    What makes a game/group good?

    Not wanting the same thing was fairly evident in the last game we played. It was a mishmash of Fallout and X-Com using Mutants and Masterminds rules. A large portion of the time, one of the players would be buried in his laptop browing online messageboards and the other would be either...

    What makes a game/group good?

    Wanting the same thing is very true. I think that was the biggest issue with the old group I was part of. There were three of us that seemed to want the same thing in the game, one that didn't really seem to care one way or the other, and one who was more interested in the mechanics and...

    What makes a game/group good?

    I've recently joined a new group for a game. Scheduling conflicts with my old group sort of eliminated any chance to play. Long story short, one of the players from that group had a Friday night game that switched to Saturdays and asked me if I'd like to join them. I sat in for a session, and...

    Help Requested: Seeking Old Information

    Ah! That wasn't the one, but Thowing Dice Games are the same people who did the other. Just looked back in their older downloads and found the one I was looking for. Pyks. Thank you very much! SB

    Help Requested: Seeking Old Information

    A couple years back one of the companies producing D20 material posted a free new race on their website. I am no longer able to recall who the company was or the name of the race, making my search fu incredibly innacurate. I am fairly certain there was a link posted on the front page here...

    Character Race/Template Conundrum

    The half-doppelganger template gives a wisdom bonus, a bonus to bluff and disguise skills, and then grants the character 3 alternate forms and empathy at will. I do like the Fiendish Changeling option, though there was one part that I forgot to mention. The other characters are currently good...

    Character Race/Template Conundrum

    I have recently joined into a new, ongoing campaign. The current characters in the game have been doing a bit of plane-hopping, and I'm not entirely sure where (which plane of existence or world) I'll be joining them on. It's a high level game, and the character I'm making will be ECL17...

    Dexterity and Intelligence: That stats deities are made of

    I haven't received a response from him yet, so I don't know if he's even read it or if this is the sort of thing he was looking at. One of the issues we've all had in our group is the idea that characters are essentially expected (or just end up this way) to be carrying around all sorts of...
