Thats great, man clothes in the 80s sucked, and those glasses!

Too bad I don't fit into my parachute pants, these days.

(just kidding -- I never wore parachute pants -- really... I swear...)

meepo wrote: Yes! I've personally like WSmiths variant. Simple and elegant! Yeah, that's the approach I like best, too. My only question about it is what to do if one of the two weapons is "special." For example, what if one is +2, and the other is normal? Or what if one is poisoned, and ...

I got "We'll be your girlfriend."

Ewwwww.

My favorites are:

The New Argonauts (Sean K. Reynolds)

Testament (Green Ronin)

Black Company (Green Ronin)

Arcana Unearthed (Malhavoc Press)

If you think that's weird, search for windowlicker on the same site.

If you're interested in some variations, take a look at this link.

Eh, *shrugs* I wanted to like HACKMASTER much more then I did.

That was my reaction, too.

<t>The thing that made my jaw drop was the statement about the WotC development team assuming that the DM heartlessly applied the rules, like a computer. Boy, does that explain a lot. The other one was the assertion that losing some equipment made the game "not fun."<br/> <br/> (I got involved in la...

You're dirty and sweet ooh yeah.

That lyric doesn't go well with Arioch's avatar.

Yeah, it's working for me, now, too.

Oddly, most of the site still seems fine. The home page is broken, but deeper links still work:

I'm getting the text-only page, too. On all browsers. Did somebody delete the image directory and css on the server?

I'd love to playtest this, too.

<t>The most important thing to realize is that 1 roll does not equal 1 swing or strike. That is, the roll doesn't really represent 1 attack, but rather a series of feints, strikes, and maneuvers. The roll represents your "best shot." It's an abstraction. When I describe a combat, I'll often say thin...

I'd go with Yggsburgh...within Greyhawk.

I edited mine, too, to make it more "pro C&C" and less "anti 3E" in a couple of places.

<t>C&C borrows the best approaches from all the various D&D editions and combines them, along with a few new twists, into an awesome game.<br/> <br/> - Classes are strong archetypes, like classic D&D.<br/> <br/> - Classes have different experience advancement points, like all pre-3E vers...

In fact, I think they published an OGL version of Orcus in their Tome of Horrors. (Actually there's an OGL versi...

During a game there is usually piles of junk food or healthy foods even (depending on the group - I do have people that eat only fruits and yougourt and RICE CAKES! SERIOUSLY!).

Rice cakes are good if you add about triple their weight in cream cheese.

I'm just north of Houston, so Muskogee is about 450 miles away, for me. That's within reason -- I'd probably go, work circumstances permitting.

I would love to see that.

Exactly like beef, eh? All the better to go with the beer, then! (Making myself hungry -- unfortunately, it's quite soggy and dreary, here, at the moment. Not barbecue weather at all.)
