In the words of Eddie Izard, the 'transvestite-exectuiv': "Yes, there are many differences between our languages .. Americans prounounce herb as 'erb', while we British pronounce it as 'herb', well, because there is a f***king 'h' in it."

Text has the Track(Full) at 19th level, table has it at 18th.

Being a mature, patient adult, I realize that only having waited 2 months for the release of the Atlantean edition ... waiting ... waiting ... to finally order all available core and sourcebooks (158 USD) in a shot yesterday.. that I should not be impatient .. not be green with envy .. not be...

How about Days of the week?

Of course, I am sampling (another word for 'ripping-off') this from BRP CoC, but, do you think this would work? Much like BRP, every time a PC succeeds at any skill roll, he 'checks' that skill. When he advances a level, those skill are treated a class skills, and allowed a 1 to 1 point...

Yes, and no. You could port the different rules between the two. AN OGL game could be a D20 Modern Horror game. In general, most of it would port, but, there would be some issues. For example, Mongoose's Cybernet game is OGL and D20. But, you would have a hard time getting the rules to...

I have Twin Rose's Campaign Suite, I can look at it. It just may work.

Almost 40. Started back in the 70's ... the boxed basic D&D (still have it), then the first hard cover AD&D books (still have them). Met Gary Gygax at the first D&D camp in Shippensburg, PA. Quit because it wasn't cool ... until my kids started playing 3E about 4 years ago, and got back into...

I have DM'ed D&D 3.0 since it came out. Got so bored with hack and slashing, dungeons-crawling, exp and treasure hording players that I eventually convinced them to play Call of Cthulhu, BRP version. But this .. CONAN!!!! All I have read and seen make me want to gobble it up now. REH ... I...
