has anyone converted any of the Greyhawk products put out at the very end of 2nd edition? Specifically I'm looking for the trilogy of The Star Cairs, Crypt of Lyzandred the Mad, and Doomgrinder.

Well I'd like to say I'd not be using any of the rules but alas my GM and group as a whole seems content to spend money they don't have and switch to these rules. As I don't have the time or inclination to find another group of adults to game with I'm switching too. As it stands we probably...

I'd probably play a play-by-post game of paranoia. Never actually played although I've run it a dozen or two times at conventions and colleges. Doesn't make for a very fun long term campaign, but for short term or one-off's its great. So much pop culture references you can throw in such as a...

At what point is the SA damage worth sacrificing the attack? 1d6 A rogue's BAB is generally low (compared to a warrior of some type). Unless you have a significant list of bonuses to attack, I'd suggest going with the one attack with SA damage, and negating the enemy's dex bonus (which of...

I use my own dieties with names and portfolios stolen from earth (we's gots a lots of gods) since its incredibly easy compared to 2nd edition. As for the spells, I definitly use the names as printed. This is a hold out from the old days of 2nd edition where travelling from Krynn to Oerth to...

Cyric (or other evil god of your liking but not Shar) has grown tired with the world. He is an evil diety and wants destruction wrought against the realm. He wants intrigue and terror and has possibly tricked another (probably evil but more interestingly good) diety into indirectly aiding him...

Can you give us an idea on when it was published? Terror TRAX sounds likely as well. The only horror games I can think of at all are GURPS Horror, Kult, Chill, and White Wolf's products (and of course Cthulu).

Its pretty much here already. Expect new books, one for each class with PrC's, abilities, magic items, feats, etc.... which will now be known as a "Codex™." These Codecies™ will be in increacing levels of power as they're published with whichever one's most current being more powerful than...

That's not entirely true. Certain rulesets favour high-action/heroics/cinematics. In games like BESM/d20/Star Wars(d6) you could state "I'm going to swing across that rope shooting my pistol from one hand, do a backflip and land on my enemy's head and punch the man next to him" with at least a...

I'm not switching for a variety of reason. First, I'm not really satisfied with the changes. Too many were unnecessary. The few changes I do like I can incorporate into the game I'm in now. I'd have to like everything (well almost everything) to be convinced to shell out cash so soon after...

Good luck with your new(ish) company! I do have a question though: Do you have any plans for or intrest in freelance writers for either whole products or portions of larger ones?

What about old school questions? Just like the regualr purity test it takes time to get all your points. So here are a few: 1) have you fought a flumph 2) have you ever played elf as a class and not as a race 3) have you ever used a spelljamming helm 4) have you done #3 while battling...

ALthough I never played any high level games (lvls 15+) I never saw a problem with the save DC's always being too high. In fact I despratly rely on it because I rarely play blast mages, prefering illusionists and even enchanters.... the guys with spells that don't do anything at all with a...

It would've been fine if they had left all 3 spell powers and just not let it stack. Even if you could take spell power multiple times (and you really really dug having higher caster levels and not higher DC's) I'm not sure if scrapping multiple 5th lvl. slots would be worth it. As for...

Like someone else mentioned its not a railgun. No magnets involved. Although I've seen a few testfires of prototype gauss weaponry (with its attached roomsized equipment) and it was amusing although far from practical yet. Was on discovery or A&E of all things, about a month before Gulf War 2...

Are you interested in any backgrounds longer than three pages? I have a few quality ones around 9 or 10 pages which aren't a drag to read (although I could find a few that are drags probably :D ).

Its been done a lot but is still quite possibly one of the best builds around: Wiz5/Incantatrix10/Archmage5 You do not get the extra spells that you want. However, the improved metamagic ability will allow you to get around raising spells so many levels and will net you more open upper level...

I had thought about Slaadi. The only fair way I can see this is remove the alignment DR for this specific race and use magic or silver or gold (gold isnt' used enough) instead. For races that are only partially neutral (LN,NG,NE,CN), they can have the single alignment DR (IE., an NG creature...

Offhand, I got to thinking about Empower Spell and Fireball. Fireball states the maximum damage caused is 10d6. This part of the spell does not appear to be variable. Thus, why would the ES feat work at all? Sure it'd give you Xd6*1.5 more damage but why would the maximum part change? I...
