It has far more to do with the tenor of the game and the reasons for any actions taken. and this is more towards the answer for W.R.Xavier. All the styles more so depend on 2 important things. 1. the GM 2. the players after all these 2 things anything else is possible. Preference is the main key of...

MMOs killed "typical roleplaying". ???? I seem to be a little behind in the abbreviation department. MMO= Massive Mulitplayer Online- basically World of Warcraft, Conan, City of Heroes, etc etc. most tend to call themselves MMORPGs, meaning you can get together with various other players ...

Was there ever a 2nd addition published of yin-sloth jungles, if not any tips on adapting skills or occ’s? I know there is a now conversion rule, and I don’t know of that a applies to adapting first addition the 2nd addition rules or not? any thoughts? and if this is agenst the rules, let me know p...

Has D&D become more like PF? Yep! Has PF become like D&D? Yepers again. Im sorry- what? D&D unfortunately has a large supply of books and realms and writters, editors, and so on. They are large and greedy and put out there. PF has no mere mention of the vast size of D&D. With that s...

Actually in that situation, since the dwarf rolled a successful parry, that he managed to deflect a finger just enough to cause a grazing or otherwise insubstantial hit or miss. Just because the chances of it happening seem improbable, does not mean that our intentionally above-average PCs can't ma...

When I have my players fighting extremely large opponents I sometimes do not give them the option to parry, for example if you are fighting a 30 foot tall monster and he swipes at you with his claws/tail putting your sword up to deflect the blow really won't do you much good. When fighting somethin...

I don't know what you mean. I can read it any time I like. I think my favorite chapter is Chapter 8, on the miscellaneous magics (warlocks, cobblers, psi-mystics, & witches); the new warlocks are neat, and the look into the mentality of psi-mystics gets my ideas bubbling. I think I'm most proud...

I just hope when they finally do get to publish it, they make enough copies for us to buy them up and have it got out of print within the first 2 months.

Entiago

They need to change the business model, that's pretty much all of it in a nut shell. The job has gotten too big for them. This is where most control nuts lose it big time, because they can't manage it all themselves. By the time they might finish printing some of the books that have been advertised...

Mh... as far as I understood the main rule book as well as Dragons & Gods the CoL&D is as successfull as it is because it keeps all it`s different sects together even though they sometimes stand on oposing sides. For me this indicated that the CoL and CoD are part of this big family. Readin...

Entiago

Yes as Mark understands correctly. The Church of Light and Dark is a seperate and distinct from both the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness. You can look at it like 3 different Curches. As discribed earlier The Church of Light and Dark will have representation for all the gods under light an...

Stupid question: I don't know about the Great Barrier. Give me a short description? Brian Mysterious wall that surrounds the southern Hemisphere of the Palladium Fantasy world. Basically sits around what would be the equator...and preserves the "southern half" from getting content (not th...

I have alot of favorite articles in the RiFTERS....and i dont think i can pick one as the most favorite, because there is alot of good work in there from people on the boards.

Entiago

I do feel it is unfortunate that RIFTS books keep coming out when PF (the baby) was left behind a while ago. I dont really know what the idea behind this is, but to my understanding there are a good number of people here on the boards and around out there that are waiting for PF books so they can p...

Entiago

As far as i can recall the great barrier destroys anything that it touches. Actually there are different rumors to this. The other is that "The Great Wall" is a large teleportation structure. Which it "dissinigrates" you and teleports to a different world (pick anywhere in the M...

yeah its been 5 years since PF has seen any love. IIRC, Lopan Olympiad was title changed to Phi + Lopan that would include all info on both islands and big info on the olympics. AlSo (IIRC), the original manuscripts for Old Kingdoms (lowlands and highlands) was ment to be 2 books, 1 for highlands an...

Yeah they have alot of power. the spells, magical items, and able to fight in melee as well. But remember, they go up against the bad asses. Undead. Vampires, deamons, deevils, ect. They put it all on the line from level 1, and it keeps getting worse. Although 12 stars to start is too many IMHO, may...

Here is the opener for the one I started working on- halfway finished, but still a long way to go. “Magnificent. Today a breath taking view broke from the sunrise.

11. Considering many dragons love to accumulate wealth and magical items, what do you think a dragon would do with a dragon slaying weapon? Is it like playing with a loaded gun and would try to get rid of it/destroy it? Most dragons (i would think) would try to have it destroyed. Although.... Some ...

Who are the ghostly warriors and what is the purpose of the temple? To whom did the temple belong? With whom are the warriors fighting and why? Can you discover the secret of the Killing Field? My guess is elven warriors, or a Legion of the Order of Light (121st). The purpose of the temple was to s...

The City of Llorn in ET primary earns its money by contracting its different armies to merchants and citystates all over the east. nail head Other than that- there should be a large number (one would think) of Merc companies in the world.

A long whiles back I was researching this very topic for myself and thought it would be a great supplement book to have (like AHS2-or something). Unfortunatly the project (like most things i do) fell by the wayside and lays in a pile.

Entiago

WOW...for a sec I thought this was new....until I looked at the date of the first thread.

Man it has been kind of dissapointing to see how long ago even "filler" books were supposed to come and never did (unless you count Rifters).

Close to a Beavis and Butthead quote: "I'm not casting it on his ____, I'm casting it AROUND his ____!" Either you know what I mean or you really don't. This is for Entiago. Things like armor and weapons CAN have a save if GM believes that personal effects and gear should be subject to th...

1. If a player was allowed by the GM to become an alchemist, would the player be allowed to start off as a Wizard, level to level 6, switch to Diabolist until level 6, then switch to Summoner until level 3, then finally start as an Alchemist?

While it is a general good idea lets take a look at the Caravel which can weigh anywhere between 20-160 tons (depending if it is fitted as a merchent vessel or a warship). The spell Weightlessness would decrease weight by 100lbs per level...so a level 10 mage would decrease wieght by 1 ton. Helps a...

any of the books have sailing or water combat magic items? The PF books that cover most sea is the Adventures on the High Seas book. Also you may want to look into Rifts Underseas for some future and tech ideas- just find a way to "dumb it down" for a fantasy setting. also what are carave...

Basically was just woundering how those of you like your maps when given one with an adventure.

Well to start off you got a great start off on your selections....now onto some suggestions:: PFRPG 1st ed would be more of a collector buy, as most PF books are now 2nd edition, that is unless you want to go back to 1st ed with the books. Dragons&Gods is a good buy as eventually (or even now) y...

[... you could take a break and write the Old Kingdom books - just to relax a little... It would be great with some more books for a great game. they are already written, same as LotD3. Its just that they never got around to fully being edited. IIRC LotD3 will probably never see print as it is writ...

I just thought of this for an optional way to handel combat: in Rifter #22 there is an article by Dan Felkins for PFRPG called Medieval Army Combat Rules, it may help for your situation. Bassically it shows how one can put an army (or any size force really) into a grouping as such that they can be &...

Yeah, i see it...it contradictis itself which is why it really was cut (IMHO)- I mean you cant have a section in the book on a place that was totally wiped from the face of Palladium that nothing exists other that this "Spiritual City". But it is still fun tho think about what the city was...

Basically a good idea would be to pick up the RIFTS Conversion book and go from there. Especially for making a "Megaversal" Creature. For me, since I basically run just PF, it is pretty easy to make things along. Once in a while I do run a BtS game, and sometimes I even look into BtS, Nigh...

Ahhh that can be a bit difficult. As far as GMing groups of assassins. I once had a player as an assassin, in a group of Mercs and a Mage.
