First, one must roll a 20, and another, and, the last as well, for it to be a median. 20 x 20 x 20 = 8000. The same sort of thing happens for any very high...

<r>Another option that is between the steepness of the 3d6 curve and the flatness of the straight d20 is to throw 3 d20's and take the median (a.k.a., the mid20).<br/> <br/> There is a lot that can be done with this mechanic. If one is using any type of Fate/Luck points, they can be spent to use the...

I guess sometimes you eat the "bare" and sometimes the "bare" eats you.

I'd be interested in listening in on the Skype games (I plan on running one myself soon). What's the protocol for this?

Best,

<r>OK. I put up the loot (well gift certificates, actually) and ordered the Deluxe set from Amazon. I just received it yesterday. I plan on doing a review of the whole bundle over the weekend (soon anyway), but wanted to post today due to something odd.<br/> <br/> The slipcase came rubber-banded (~4...

You need to make that order!

Nice.....WT is about as close to gaming without actually being gaming as you can get.

Fair enough. Has the page count stayed the same? Or is that still negotiable?

All the best and good luck with the writing,

<r>What is the Estimated Time of Publication for the Castle Keepers Guide, or rather, "That Book that until very recently was known as the Castle Keepers Guide"?<br/> <br/> Not to nag, or take away from the editorial/kotex/kleenex discussion , but when can we expect the book? <br/> I understand that...

<r>I definitely like the "pool of points" idea for what I'll term "add-on abilities". The old Atlantis Game from Bard Games (~1983, The Atlantean Trilogy: The Arcanum, The Lexicon, and The Bestiary) used this to add binary skills/special abilities/specialties (not unlike Feats really). You saved up ...

Very nice list.

Hell, I only recently discovered the roots behind "Yggsburgh" which is just as appropriate!

What was it?

<r>I would very much like to get a hold of non-standard classes that others develop. Hopefully, some sort of repository could be set up. I will see if I can contribute to this as well.<br/> <br/> Best,<br/> _________________<br/> ~Adaen of Bridgewater, <URL url="http://www.highadventuregames.com">ww...

<r>Thanks for the information. Being an avid reader of game rule books, settings, supplements, etc., I don't typically have an issue with Gary's verbose style. It has character. <br/> <br/> That being said, part of the appeal of C&C is that you can prepare for an adventure in about 20 minutes (w...

I'm hoping to see it soon (and that my subscription will start with this issue). I really miss hard print gaming magazines.

Best,

<r>Actually, Dungeon and Dragon Magazines are no longer print (eMag's only). They've been brought in house to WotC unless I'm mistaken:<br/> <URL url="http://highadventuregames.wordpress.com/2007/04/19/alas-the-dragon-is-dead/"><LINK_TEXT text="http://highadventuregames.wordpress.com ... n-is-dead/"...

<r>I'm gathering that (I've been looking up reviews and such). Thanks. One more question: Many of the original D&D adventures lacked a lot of the motivations, characterization (of NPC's), etc. Am I right in understanding that Zag has all this characterization, etc. built in. I mean, I can genera...

<r>Thanks. That's what I was hoping. Because I spend a lot of time working on my homegrown system, sometimes I just want something simple to pick up and play (esp. for online play).<br/> <br/> Best,<br/> _________________<br/> ~Adaen of Bridgewater, <URL url="http://www.highadventuregames.com">www.h...

<r>Hey,<br/> <br/> I'm imagining that the Old Dungeon Mags would work well for C&C. Any experience with converting them? How long did it take?<br/> <br/> What about the newer Dungeon Mags?<br/> <br/> Thanks,<br/> _________________<br/> ~Adaen of Bridgewater, <URL url="http://www.highadventuregam...

I just subscribed. When is the next one due out? Thanks.

<r>Hello All,<br/> <br/> One of the key benefits for multi-classing is that with only a couple of characters, a group can cover all traditional roles needed for success. Many groups stick to the "one-character per player" rule. Multi-classing allows for a party to be much more versatile. A good exam...
