[QUOTE="baakyocalder, post: 358747, member: 7404"] [b]Hacklopedias Yes Because Conversion in Progress[/b] You should permit Hackmaster reviews on ENWorld. 1. Hackmaster, though a variant form of D&D, has material that you might want to use in your campaign. Having an idea of what's in a Hackmaster book might help you as a GM or a player come up with some way to make the game more fun. For example, Hackmaster has a full Honor system which the recent article on Knights in Dragon #299 (the Knights and Chivalry issue) uses in a different manner. There's also magic item stats in 2e terms for many of the items that appeared in KODT. The background tables in the Spellslinger's Guide to Wurld Domination are good for thinking about life at a magic academy as is the section on spellware in that book. So reason one for Hackmaster reviews is: you may want to borrow stuff and it's better to borrow if you know what to look for. 2. Anthony Roberson is working on an official project to convert the 1600+ Hacklopedia of Beast monsters into 3e compatible monsters. This is found at [url]www.hacklopedia.com[/url] Wouldn't it be nice to know what's in the Hacklopedias so you can suggest to Anthony and the other folks which monsters you'd like to see converted first? Also, the Hacklopedias have a block that's not in 2e and to my knowledge not in 3e: Yield. Basically, you kill the critter and that's what its body is good for. Like the dragon hide can make magic armor and dragon blood baths keep you from aging. Basically, you're missing a big chance to get other ideas on how to run your 3e or d20 game by completely excluding Hackmaster. But this is a d20 site, so not every Hackmaster product is essential to the reviews. If you just permitted reviews of the Hacklopedia of Beasts volumes, that would be helpful to d20 players since the conversion is free. [/QUOTE]
