Tank wrote: Yeah.... I changed my mind. I won't be buying even a PHB. Immediate actions, dozens of free actions, fighters doing 500 hp of damage, AC's of 49? Sounds like they didn't change that much after all. I think the dragon's turn alone took 20 minutes. *Pukes at the example!* Glad to see that...

If not, look here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/downloads They have been available since 2000, but I am still amazed that so many people apparently don't know about them. So check it out if you haven't. Actually, I grabbed the ones I wanted ...

<t>That is what's currently available on one file sharing network as of about thirty minutes ago (as of the time stamp on this post). The file size of the PHB though trends towards not being text selectable, unlike Castle Zagyg. While it's not shown on the screenshot, at one point the condensed PHB ...

Your kids wouldn't like me then, because I don't reveal the numbers.

<t>Well, one thing I've said a couple of times on this thread applies then. If Mongoose has you worried that they're going to botch Traveller (and if they do, I'll actually go back to the QLI forums and form a lynch mob), save yourself the hassle and pick up the Traveller 5 rule book when it's relea...

<t>All Mongoose is doing is taking out the apparently copious amounts of explanatory material and releasing a rulebook. Smart Traveller fans will be buying the CD-ROM and book that Marc himself is publishing, rather than relying on Mongoose to do justice to the system. So, look at Traveller 5 rather...

Treebore wrote: True, but Marc Miller is actually involved in developing this. To chime in on what you both have said, the rights to the game system reside with MWM. Ever since the debacle with Imperium Games and T4, he has kept a rather close eye on the system and is very guarded about licensing i...

<t>The task resolution system of MT is the basis of the C&C system I use, but since I am strictly a Classic Traveller person, I don't use it. I use something similar...but I have to find it in my pdf files in order to describe it.<br/> _________________<br/> NOTE TO ALL: If you don't like someth...

<t>I guess Mongoose is stripping down Traveller 5th edition, with MWM's permission. <br/> They have a lofty goal in trying to stop the fragmentation of the fanbase caused by the various rule systems. Unfortunately, they seem not to understand that it isn't so much the rules that caused the fragmenta...

<t>Or your next weapon description could look like this:<br/> Type III Edged Weapon: HKA 1d6 (1 1/2d6 with STR), Ranged (can be thrown; +1/2), Reduced Endurance (0 END; +1/2) (30 Active Points); OAF (-1), Range Based On STR (-1/4), STR Minimum 7 (-1/2), Real Weapon (-1/4). Total cost: 10 points.<br/...

<t>Having been through the playtesting of the system, having gone through the collector's edition box set and the first two printings of the PHB with a fine tooth comb and the help of many others, I have to disagree with the notion that the way the books are written assumes a person has gaming exper...

Well, were I a power that be, you'd have permission.

If not, I'm sure someone who has a physical copy can provide a scan.

<t>Heh, in my quick read through of the Quickstart rules, I found a spelling error. <br/> Mechanically though, the book is good.<br/> <br/> On a side note, you have the Quickstart, and you have the monster PDF. Have you thought about a cut down treasure pdf, so people can see that the magic items ar...

<t>Anybody know where I can find a graphic with the BACK cover of True20? There wasn't one in the PDF, and while I would ordinarily be annoyed at the lack of a back cover, for free I cannot complain too much. If I can get a scan of the back cover or the back cover through some other means, I can add...

I have to order my 3d print soon.

<t>I'll see what I can do about getting more quickstarts and the DCC. They had three of the DCC's, five quickstarts, and only two copies of Tell Qa.

<t>Free RPG Day was a bust at my FLGS. While they advertised it on their website and on the store, almost nobody showed up to pick up the freebies. I was able to go back in there today and pick up everything else I wanted.<br/> <br/> There are still things left over, including multiple copies of The...

<t>I was there for an hour, and NOBODY had picked anything up. In fact, I was the only customer. However, my location here is running lots of non-RPG events along with a couple World of Darkness demos, so they were expecting more people later on. Otherwise, I'm sure they'd let me have a copy of Tell...
