You're not the only one. But, I'd rather not derail the thread. Instead, I get all the kinks out by posting at the Castle of Fun at the WotC boards.

For any of you who like to kid around and be plain silly, I reccommend you visit the CoF. It's a cool place, best place at WotC boards for me.

You can find it here.

Bad Xen bad!

You know the rules, no hustling new members.

*Takes big stick away with obvious indent of MMtM on it*

And no bashing members either, as a council member you have a high standard to uphold.

*Takes big stick and chases Dyne with it*

And you, stop derailing the thread!

[Silliness]That's the spirit! Wait, no, no it's not. Wrong forum. Wrong boards entirely.

I've posted before that I was attempting to create a new game system that would emulate the D&D game while attempting to expand and stream-line it more. I've been thinking about the Races of D&D and comparing them to LotR, and I've decided to alter them slightly. Here's what I've got for the Elves and Dwarves so far:

Elf
+2 Dexterity
-2 Constitution
+2 Wisdom
+2 Charisma
Maybe a few abilities pertaining to magic, or something that makes them more adept at being a magic user.
LA: Probably +1
Everything else would basically be the same.

Dwarf
+2 Strength
-2 Dexterity
+2 Constitution
-2 Charisma
Size: Small
Powerful Build: Can be treated as a Medium-size character in a circumstance in which this would be more beneficial.
Everything else would probably be the same as D&D.

I will probably change the Abilities a bit so that they affect the game in slightly different ways. I'll try to make the Mental abilities be completely equal to the Physical abilities, to get rid of the discrepancies when balancing a race's ability adjustments.

Third Party Materials

I mine a vast expanse of resources for stuff to fit into my game. I homebrew and I tinker a bit. Overall, I am fairly comfortable adding anything that I think will enliven my world. I have removed races, and adjusted races. My criteria though is that I feel it is powered for the game I want to run. That means it is relatively well balanced against the rest of the group, and it fits the atmosphere of my campaign. In the current campaign, let me run through the books that have material which has been used so far. I am just going off rapid memory, so I al almost certainly miss some things.

Core rulebooks
Psychics Handbook (Green Ronin)
Shaman's Handbook (Green Ronin)
Beyond Monks (Chainmail Bikini Games - In print via Goodman games)
Complete Warrior
Complete Divine
Swashbuckling Adventures (AEG)
Path of Magic (Fantasy Flight Games)

These are used almost every session since we have PC's with character classes from these books.

Other books that have seen, or are likely to see player use include:
Artificer's Handbook (Mystic Eye Games)
Spellbound (Living Imagination)
Book of Exalted Deeds
Occult Lore (Penumbra/Atlas Games)
Book of Hallowed Might (Malhavoc)
Book of Iron Might (Malhavoc)
Portals & Planes (Fantasy Flight Games)
Corsair (Adamant Entertainment)

There are many, many more books that I take material from. Most of it would be available to PCs in the correct circumstances.

Overall, I mine third party materials heavily. As it is, I have bought far more third party books then I have WotC books. I like to sprinkle new ingredients into the mix once I see something that feeds a new idea to me. I think many people would look at the variety of books I use and think I am completely out of hand. But I don't allow books into the game wholesale unless the entire book fits my vision nearly flawlessly. I am just careful to try to keep each PC with a niche that they excel at. There are a lot of books that can provide a little material here and there for PCs to benefit from. I encourage that and I tell my players that if they have a concept, or an idea, they should tell me so I can help them reach their aspirations.

Overall, I have been fortunate and I have not yet allowed something that broke down in play. So it has all worked out nicely.
 

Dyne: Interesting. I'll be curious to see were you go with this. Out of curiosity, shouldn't the Dwarf have a LA +1 like the elf.

Bard: I love that list! Great material there. To bad I live across the country, or I'd ask to sit in one night and see it all in action :)
