Sorry about all the grammer mistakes in that post, I shuold have proof read it better

I am hoping that the rules provide fairly regiours guid lines about what each level of an MDoA can do. Something like this: 3+: only an action or a move, can't combine both. Cannot cause any effect that would last more than a single round. The highest penaltiy that can be bestowed is 1d3 4+: Only s...

For the truly imaginative, role playing games are an opportunity to meet heroes, to become more like actual heroic versions of ourselves than we might otherwise have access to in the world of “reality” television and its superficial, tacky role-models. And maybe, just maybe, that’s the real reason ...

I'm a grown man with a job and responsibilities. Yet I feel like Christmas is two days away and Joseph won't let me have any presents early. :D I have been seeking a real swords & sorcery D&D experience for the last few years. I love Pathfinder but my players are using rules that cover 1,16...

Not with my experince, I have seen entire campaigns end becuase of a long and heated argument over what a player can or can't do occur between player and GM, especially when the survival of a character or campaign plot hinges on how something is ruled, either a GM or a player can get pretty bent ou...

I'd much rather risk arguements than have something so dry and limiting though. If you go this route you completely remove the magic and mystique from the MDoA. The last thing we need is another rules-bloated D20-type system where everything has been systemized and nothing is left to the imaginatio...

As far as actual content goes, the main "space drain" is the spells. The easiest way to PLAY with spells is to have one spell per page, but it's not the most efficient way to lay them out (eats up lots of space). But in every game where we've used the "efficient layouts," the pl...

The rules include guidelines on what a disarm means if the warrior rolls a 3, a 4, a 5, etc. on his second die; what a blinding attack means in similar circumstances, what a bull rush means, and so on. A blinding attack with a 3 means you just throw sand in his eyes or smack him in the forehead or ...

Well, I got to read the adventure starter and it refrenced Aereth so, sounds like they plan to stick with that setting at least initially. But I agree, a full setting just for DCCRPG would be really cool, and it should defenintly be a box set, no pdf nonsense. I'd vote for (and purchase) a boxed se...

I got some from my loca game store in Illinois and they were not inked either. I wonder how long teh sharpe marks will last....

Well, I am more of a fan of DnD basic, which I thought went up to the 30's. I suspect we aren't talking about the same game. :shock: Basic D&D went from levels 1 to 3. It came in three versions: Holmes, Moldvay, and Mentzer (authors). Basic D&D was followed by Expert D&D (levels 4-15; C...

But the quote says: Interesting. The DM should add his own roll of the same MDoA die to the fumble chart (assuming the results get nastier the higher the fumble roll). 1st level warrior rolls a fumble while doing an MDoA. DM adds d3 to the fumble chart roll. 6th level warrior rolls a fumble etc DM ...

Interesting. The DM should add his own roll of the same MDoA die to the fumble chart (assuming the results get nastier the higher the fumble roll). That would mean that a fumble potentially has more dire effects for a higher level warrior because of the larger range on the dice e.g. 1-3 for a level...

how about this: Every character has subdual damage "hps" equal to their con score. If they take subdual damge equal to or geater than their con (um, I mean, stamina) than they pass out for d14 hours or something like that. But, only certain weapons can deal subdual damage. There is no deal...

Perhaps I over stated with the term demi god :P but basically, I liked that there were three stages in the level system that felt different. It seemed like once you hit level 3 or 4, you felt a little safer, you werent likely to die from a single crossbow bolt to the chest any more. From 4 to about...

I am still a little confused about how this works exactly. As i understand it, the process is: 1: decalre your attacl and your mighty deed of arms before rolling to hit 2: roll action dice (d20) +bonus die (based on level) +other mods from magic and strength 3: if total equals or beats ac you hit, 4...

Also, if the MDoA reqires a succesful hit in addition to rolling 3+, than even a 75 percent chanch at level 6 will still fail to activate about half the time. If you used precentile dice for both rolls, its like you have to roll 50 percent or less (on average for a fighter, im assuming), and than y...

Frankly, in this market I wonder if any RPG will ever really "take off" the way some of the old ones did. There are just so many options nowadays that this tends to slice up the fanbase so many ways. Back in the 1970's when RPGs were pretty new, every game seemed like an amazing innovatio...

I have to admit, combat in DnD basic is little more than taking turns rolling d20's and hoping you hit before you get hit. I agree and disagree here. I think it depends on the DM and the players. But a lot on the DM. We played a short LotFP (Basic D&D retro-clone) game recently and the players ...

Um, on your home page it sounds like the beta is being released sometime next week? is this true? any ideas on if it will be early or late next week? I can't sleep im so excited!

my BnN has a small selection of role playing stuff. Mostly DnD, some shadow run, gurbs, and even warhammer fantasy role play, both current and, when it was in prent, the previous edition. It also has a couple books from osprey publishing for historical wargaming (field of glory) and modern wargaming...

I got to read the adventure yesterday as I agreed to run both adventures at the game store for free RPG day. All I can say is wow. Beutiful art and aswome adventures. I really hope the portal under the stars gets made into a more full adventer, perhaps even realesed in three seperate moduals. It has...

I might have been tempted to go back the next day to see if I could buy another copy. :P On second thought, maybe it's best not to test karma too much. Moes1980 clearly rolled well on his "luck" attribute, buy mine isn't that high... They did have a second copy at the time but I felt guil...

Drat. I missed that set because I was still playing OD&D and AD&D and didn't keep up with the newer editions of D&D. Guess I'll have to haunt e-bay for it. :( Well, if you were full swing into ADnD this product would have seemd odd. The rules are more watered down and uses the "elf...
