Right, I'm hacking away at trying to come up with a balance system based on the DMG, the Magic Item table in the PHB, and some developer notes. I know switching out magic items and just substituting in level-based bonuses CAN be done, I'm jut stumbling a bit on the math. Has somebody already...

Hey all, quick question I couldn't resolve from the FAQ. Do we think armor spikes ADD to unarmed damage in a grapple or REPLACE unarmed damage in a grapple. The description of the equipement says "extra" damage, so I'm leaning toward the former.

I'm going to post one (thinking of dropping a Buffy one-off on the players) but I was wondering whether any Green Ronin folk had any definite versions they'd be using. Vamps are mentioned in the SPECTACULAR "Freedom City" expansion but none are statted.?

I consider myself pretty savvy -- anybody else having a hard time opening this zip? I've emailed the company. but no response.

A war rages across the Blood Steppes. As battlefields run with gore, ancient ruins are uncovered in the wreckage. Supply stops become thriving towns – and perhaps more. Perhaps new kingdoms in the badlands. From chaos can come heroism … or opportunities … Distracted from family rivalries...

I'll post a few more idea later, but there is one I want to get out there --- Warren Ellis' great new comic Global Frequency. He's structured it so every issue's a one-off, and they're brilliant. From the Russian teleporter linked to an H-bomb to the "real" 6 Million Dollar Man to the "memetic...

Well, this thread serves two purposes: First, a suggestion, for anyone else who has a problem with the TECHIE advanced class. Robots? Frikkin' robots? Err. No. Montgomery Scott does not build robots. So a suggestion to get a more genre-wide Tech: For the "Robots" (arrr) talent...

PULP SPYCRAFT Born of an unholy blend of Spycraft, D20Modern, and a one-shot for some of the usual Dark*Matter crew – Ross, Johanna, and Denis. The year is 1940. The US has yet to be drawn into the war – officially. London burns, Europe is in chains, and the behind the scenes the Great Game...

Anyone seen a system that's quickly convertible and they've played?

How would one run this little thrill ride? Specifically, say the Mind Flayer hits with his one tentacle attack. Does he then have to maintain a grapple and hit with the others? If he has to make 4 separate attacks, can the PC try to wriggle away with a grapple check before the round where, if...

Hey, kids, I think although we may all snipe about degrees, from "completely broken" to "good enough", I don't think anybody is deliriously happy with the trip mechanic. I think I have something here, and I'm looking for feedback. Now, as a guy who's gotten elbow-deep in the mechanics of a...

Right. Not in the Mithril sourcebook, not in the Hollowfaust or that Rat-race sourcebook, not in Secret Societies. Am I missing it somewhere? Because in our Scarred Lands campaign the Vigils are playing a huge role, and we'd love to stat them out completely. Why isn't what I think is your...

Finally dug up the activation code and rejoined the forums. As we're once again taking a one-night foray into Dark*Matter Monday night, I was inspired to start updating again. I'll begin by reposting the original chapters, one ever couple days, to sort of ease in and give me some time to work...
