Re: Back!

I am right with you Brightmantle on doing home-brew. In fact, back in the day when I posted here a lot I was getting some great input for my home-brew world: http://arborris.wiki-site.com/index.php/Main_Page When I am DM'ing for a serious long term group, this is almost always what I would use, that...

Re: Back!

The warm welcomes here are great :)

My question was about 2nd Edition AD&D Modules, I am looking for some classic non-theme-heavy adventure modules that are worth a darn. Jaded already threw a recommendation my way, but I am always happy for more info if you have it.

Back!

HELLO! We have two forums now? I had forgotten :D I had posted on the others, but not here, so here goes: Hello everyone. Glad to see the borg still up and running. This place is awesome, it has been awesome. For those of you who don't know me, I started posting here... in 2004? Maybe 2005? Back whe...

That city map is fantastic. And in general I thought that CC3 was pretty fantastic for city mapping. Unfortunately, I found it incredibly difficult for land mass mapping, or whole world mapping. Maybe I just didn't have the patience to work through it. I watched the tutorials several times, and stil...

Well, thats a lot like what I have done with the Superheroes campaign. ITs still nice for there to be some overarching story, but otherwise its a blast. Sometimes you want to RP with a DM who is restrictive, and forces you to think outside the box. Other times you want a DM who will say "Sure, ...

It really provided an interesting framework because vampires are essentially superpowered. There were so many mechanics already in place for many of the thematic ideas I wanted. The greatest example was the actual powers. In VtM, each clan of vampire has access to certain "Disciplines", th...

Thanks Cole, I appreciate the list. It is pretty comprehensive, now all I need are some ideas implementing it into the WW system. And hey, who knows, the other posters of PADND might think of something else as well. I have found that many powers can be simplified into more basic versions, and that m...

Superheroes RPG

Hey guys, I think I discussed this on another thread at some point, but I have sort of rebooted this RPG and I want to get some ideas and input. Basically, my friend Punitive_Damages and I have together created a Superheroes RPG that is based on the mechanics of the 1st ed White Wolf world. PD did m...

Topic: How much detail should a character have?
Replies: 24
Views: 9353

I think it depends on the detail. For current stuff, such as clothing, style, personality, goals, quirks, manerisms, and description... I would say as detailed as you can be. For background stuff I would say you want to have some moderation. And thats mainly so that you can leave room for the DM to ...

Wow, great questions. As a Player: Best: Dragons, bar none. They allow for great flexibility, they are difficult, they are huge, they are classic, and they come with a buttload of treasure. That said, they are also rare, and I recognize that they are more of the BBEBG kind of creature. So as far as ...

A friend of mine who used to post on here under a name I can't remember had a system that he created. Simply called "Super Heroes". It was based off of the VtM system, by WW. It was simple, it has a mechanism for powers and that weird durability that super heroes seem to have. It even had ...

Haha, I love it IL. Thats great. And remember, you don't have to get that detailed... but you can mix it up. Player: I dive towards my foe, striking low! (attack), (rolls a 4) DM: The Orc parries your blow, he's a crafty sunuva... Player: I'll roll to the side, jump up and try to hit above his shiel...

You could always RP them differently. Describe your actions in differet ways, give detail to what you are doing.

Instead of:

I shoot goblin A with my bow.

you can do:

Spotting the runty goblin 10 feet from Bors, I pull the arrow back, feathers brush my face, and I loose!

I completely agree that both choices in the examples are "Good", but also, the Law/neutrality/chaos axis comes into play. Lawful Good characters SHOULD go for the trapped miners since they are in immediate danger, where as the crime boss is a preventative measure. Why do I say that? Becau...

Um. Gotta agree with IL. That's just a different wording of what I said, save maybe for evil (what I can say, I prefer my evil to be more interesting then being selfish. Because of this, I would label someone like Jack Bauer from 24 as Evil because of his methods). Actually, maybe in a vague manner...
