So? People lie all the time. Hell, politicians make a career of double dealing and lying. If they are leaving people alone let them be left alone... with their lies.

When a government becomes corrupt and no longer heeds the will of the people it is the right and duty of the people to depose that government, forcibly if needed, and replace it with a more perfect union.

I am more worried about our own government than any muslim. I am just glad we have less than two more years with this bugger of an administration. Hopefully Congress can stonewall Bush and his cronies good enough that we can get out of Iraq and not start another war, this time with Iran. I am sure Bush would love to start a three way war.

Watcher's Keep was a POS as was the ToB expansion. BG2 was better without it.

You... ...have a rifle? 2 rifles and a shotgun. ....... are you kidding me? Why do you need so many weapons anyway? Why do people keep asking that? Ramza, have you turned on the news today?

Thats a good and simple way to do it. I guess thats why you make the big bucks as a game designer, eh J.E.. :D There is a 3rd party DnD 3e book that has interesting rules about hit locations and critical hits. Its called Torn Asunder if memory serves. I am sure it can be adjusted to d20 Modern.

No, just the more ridiculous, especially in d20. The gameplay balance simply breaks the d20 game mechanic when you get above 20th level. 3e and 3.5e just were not made for such higher levels in mind. Dungeons and Dragons isn't Diablo, you know.

I don't know if it "kick's ass" or not. I am currently getting the first draft done. I am taking aspects I like from Fuzion, Alternity, and d20 Modern and making a composite System that meshes the aspects I am taking into one system. So far I only have 4 out of the 13 chapters done.

Oh, I haven't trashed the old components. I still have them stored. I could remove all the new components and return the computer to base manufacturing standard if I want to.

Damn those hobbitses... They lies!

In ny case I do hope that that the expansion for NWN2 will not have Epic Levels. I really hate the epic level rules. I do not use them in my PnP campaign, I hated them in HotU, and I really hated how Obsidian implemented Level 21+ in KotOR2. I would prefer that they focus on mid teens up to 20th level content over anything else.

I guess it beats sawing the wife in half.

Whoever wins, the player loses. HA!

So do I.

Did you check your pocket? Maybe behind the fridge?

When it comes to large weapons it means you barely got out of the way of taking a serious hit. There are many short comings in d20 Modern that does not allow realistic combat in the way it handles weaponry, armor, and the character;s life pool. That is one of the reasons why I am making my own system. Don't get me wrong, there are many things I think d20 Modern does right, but combat isn't one of them.

I'll "teehee" you! Okay, that just sounded wrong.

I am just argumentative for the sake of being argumentative. GRENADES ARE NOT MELEE WEAPONS!!!! AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!

It doesn't have any real character creation system so I don't really care much for it. Such designs might have been okay in the days of PS:T but not today.

When I use a limb based system I have the Players roll to hit and the limb location dice at the same time. It cuts the time, if the attack hits it hits that location and damage is rolled and applied. Another way to do it is to only do the body location roll if the attack is a critical. Keep in mind that in the d20 System hit points is an abstract system that not only represents the characters' life pool but also his ability to roll with the punches. An alternative is to use the Wound/Vitality system from d20 Star Wars, then apply the hit location system only when the characters take Vitality damage, since Vitality is the measurement of the character's actual life pool.

Just cart over the Fuzion System hit locations. It works decently enough, but remove the baseline critical hit system from the game 20 Head x2 Damage -8 Aimed Shot 18-19 hand x.5 -6 16-17 Arm x.5 -4 13-15 Shoulder x1 -4 9-12 Chest x1 -2 7-8 Stomach x1.5 -2 5-6 Vitals x1.5 -4 3-4 Leg x.5 -4 1-2 Feet x.5 -6 Roll a die, odds Right, Even left.

Make a term limit then for the Prime Minister position of 8 to 12 years.

Well, so far no problems with it, though Scribus is a different matter. Not quite as user friendly as Pagemaker. Once I am finished with the document that I am working on I'll post it up in the PnP gaming section. I am working on new rules system for my homebrew Science Fantasy setting Concrete Kingdom.

Well, you could have a set of ministries that overlooks various aspects of society, and in a council format each Primine Minister has a single vote on issues that concern the nation as a whole. To reach the station of Prime Minister it would be dependent of the ministry's goals and style in which it reaches that goal. The more merit you gain the higher rank you become.

I am NOT in my forties, damn it. I also vehemently refuse to wear any sort of hat. Also, we don't usually just talk about games, mostly hardware, either console or computer, and a bit about PnP. Hell, a couple of them visit me at the convenience store I work at and do the same. Sheesh, nice backhanded insult, buddy.
