I contributed some information on city-states (Caulis & Zhosur, mainly) and maps for this setting: Prometheus Project Unfortunately, the others involved stopped contributing and I don't feel like fleshing out all by myself everything that's left, so it's languished. I still have some ideas float...

When I was in 4th grade (1981 or so), my best friend introduced me to D&D. He moved away a year or so later and I spent a couple years reading the books and dreaming up adventures, until I introduced some friends I made in Jr. High to D&D and Marvel Super Heroes and MERP. We didn't start pla...

Expression Blend is another option for GUI design. It uses XAML for the interface and Visual Basic for the code-behind. You wouldn't have to port any of your VB code to Java if you don't want to. I 've found that Blend does have a steep learning curve and a frustrating overall lack of resources for ...

Not good. And not just for the spelling and punctuation errors and the bad layout either (although they are all rather bad in their own right). I don't have the time to go through it line by line and give it a critique at the moment, and to be honest I don't think a critique would help. So when I'v...

I had a pair of d10s a long time ago that I used for percentile rolls. They came in one of the MSH boxed sets; one was red and one was blue. They were the kind you were supposed to fill in the numbers with a white crayon. Instead, I filled each number with a different colored crayon. They became kno...

My suggestion: TUN-wee
though the more obvious pronounciation would be something like [TOO-noo-ee] or [too-NOO-ee]

I've made a pretty substantial update to the page detailing the city-state of Xadir in Caulis ( HERE ). Comments and suggestions are always welcomed and appreciated.

count zero and Amberjack have come up with some great stuff in the Region 2 thread. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should.

The only thing that I'll change is the population of Xadir from 100,000 to around 20,000 - 30,000 just because the emergence of city states is a recent phenomena and I think cities haven't had time to becom this large yet. However, a population of 20,000- 30,000 should still make it the largest cit...

People and Culture The people of Caulis are commonly referred to as Caulisian, though the residents of each city-state tend to identify themselves by that place (i.e. Xadiri, Kalracian, Xarosian, Onaari, Zethian, etc). They are--in general--tall and slender; the average male stands 5'8", femal...

Our armor house rule is simple: Unless specifically targeted, armor will take only ten percent (10%) of the damage rolled against a player, always rounding up and a minimum of 1 point. For example: someone does 15 points or damage, but it is below the armor’s AR, the armor would take 15/10 or 2 (rou...

If I'm statting out a monster or other type of adversary, I tend to just give give arbitrary bonuses depending on how tough of an encounter I want.

Because frankly, the critical 20 effect doesn't do anything that special, and an automatic miss of a 1-4 MORE then balances out the double damage effect of a single nat 20. It may be borne out in your experience, but not in mine. And if the effect of a natural 20 isn't that special to begin with, t...

Mechanically, thematically, AND because the fact it is a game that's supposed to be fun, critical fumbles are childish, idiotic, and just plain wrong. I think that a game where nothing potentially catastrophic happens the the characters just because it's "supposed to be fun" is exceedingl...

A roll of a natural 1 in my games is always a critical fumble. If the players want a critical success with every 20, they get a critical fumble with every 1. That's how we treat it too. We went as far as creating a fumble table to determine the result of the fumble: 1 Roll save vs. weapon breakage....

Impressive. Have you playtested their use? How much time do they add to average combat encounters?
