The thought is appreciated, but I am a realist. I am grateful for each new day of lateForgemeister said:
Plenty of time for that if you quit fiddling with those mini-games you crank out by the dozens
There might be an additional use of the Lejendary Earth world setting in the future, but one never knows. I would have bet on the Gord the Rogue graphic novels being a go, but the poor market shot that project down in flames :\
Like I said, mini-game crankin'! Ah well, as they're a lot of fun, have at it!!!
All the LA game projects, right. I wouldn't dream of messing with your own creative work, amigo....and then its time for the next Lost City of the Utiss adventure, Hekanaptra.
We're also due for another free downloadable LA Module...
...and again, all of these go through Gary before being sent out into the world... so he'll know about them, just ask
Errr... Not even after showering? Oh, I get your meaning now, sorry....Don't ever change Gary

Exchanging communications is fun. As for goosebumps, likely there's a cold draft there at your computermark_j said:
To make it quick and easy, we always used the target's AC, except as you note for shocking grasp against metal armor which is the same as no protection. That all makes sense to me, because a touch means contacting a bit of exposed flesh or possibly a garment touching the subject's bare flesh. A shield fends off such a touch, and dexterity enables better avoidance of such contact.
Yes, the Lejendary Earth is somewhat similar in land masses to this world, but the continents are rather different in form, and the eighth is not at the south pole but to the northwest of the LE world's version of Australia. There is also a group of large islands some distance off the west coast of the LE world's equivalent of North America, a sort of Lemuria-like groupingGray Mouser said:
Such a place might have existed to the east of Oerik in the area that Francois Marcela Froideval had created for his campaign. I seem to recall him mentioning it, but it's been about 25 years...
It can ft in anywhere the GM using it wishesAlso, does the Lejendary Earth fit in at all with the Oerth/Aerth/Yarth parallel worlds? (BTW, I designed a campaign world with the name Ærth before I knew you had used that name in the Gord books!

The history I have created for the setting has the planet ruled by a strange non-human race that enslaved humans, then because of mankind's growing capacity to use magic, lost it all in a long and terrible war.Well, I figured that our brave adventurers would pick up these skills on the run, as they sallied forth! The thief might have to pick up the skill of being party teamster, or the MU may study a sagely field as a normal part of his arcane training.Col_Pladoh said:
Having PCs with abilities that qualify for the comic book superhero role is not desirable in a FRPG, I concur. If you have secondary skills, be sure to keep them as just that--secondary and not powerful in application, uncertain in application.eyebeams said:
I don't regret that in the least. If demi-humans, already given some advantages, were as able as humans, the world would be dominated by them, and there goes the whole of having a relatively familiar world setting in regards to what cultures and societies one will find in control. So a demi-human is unlimited in thief level only, as that is a class not destined to control the fate of major groups or states.dead said:
If you create a setting with a complete demihuman culture and varied societies, complete with a long history for that dominant race, then have them take the place of humans and restrict humand as if they were a demi-human race. The only unlimited race should be theone that is dominant on the planet.
How many people do you know that are able to excell in more than one field? what some bozo wants to do so as to have a dominant PC isn't a matter for consideration in regards a campaign. Saying "why not" is a lame excuse. In a world where magic works, many-ton beasts can fly, things breath fire, it makes as much sense for a player to demand that his PC can ivent a spell that always slays his target subject, ot armor that is impervious to any and all forms of attack.
So? Maybe the whiny player should take his wannabe PC off to a game world where everyone is a superhero of unpteenth level with barns full of magic.
Bah! It is a mistake to bow to the wished of munchkins who whine. If they know the restrictions on dfemi-human characters before they create one, then they haven't a leg to stand on.
The player is not a munchkin. They like the story idea of a diverse character. They're not thinking about how much stuff they can slaughter at and loot to steal at all.Col_Pladoh said:

Thanks Ken!Joseph Elric Smith said:
Okay, you know better than I do. I am left wqith the nagging question: If the players aren't concerned about power gaming, wish only to create "stories," why should they worry/express concern about level limitsdead said:
Then I did a somewhat satisfactory job in responding.
It is your campaign, and you best what the participants expect and enjoy.I'm glad to see your stance on this but I'm gonna stick to my house rules (which don't create over-powerful, comic-book characters, by the way).
Thanks.

That is a good point indeed! When only two or three players generally adventure it is typically necessary for them to play multiple PCs or else be multi-classed.tenkar said:
Now there's an observation with which I have no disagreementAh well, it all went down hill with the 2nd edition anyway
