I asked Dragonhelm about what he means by story based and was told:

Well, something that when played out, comes across like a short story in a book. Something with fantastic locales, NPCs. Dragonlance's Age of Mortals trilogy is a good example.

What I'm not looking for is tactical adventures.

Not sure if I should post here or elsewhere on the site. Dragonhelm from the piazza forum asked this question : I'm a very story-based DM. When I'm not running my own original adventures, I sometimes like to use a good module. Thing is, I'm finding it harder to find good story-based modules. WotC's ...

Yeah, I've been thinking about this myself a little, too. The comic should become a reality around the middle of next year, and I plan to include game material with the comic (mostly short adventures). That might lead to something... who knows? :) Wait there was going to be a comic? Did it ever com...

Is Level Up no longer accepting submissions? I don't see a link to the submission guidelines but did find them through google. Just figured I'd check before sending an email.

I came here for the DragonMech section and by the time I got the setting it was no longer getting new products. So this forum has always been low volume to me. I was really excited for DragonMech Battles since I really wanted mech battles and didn't really like the regular rules. Unfortunately they ...

If the setting does not match what your are looking for, the rules themselves may still. There is a chapter at the end that explains how to alter the rules for your own applications. That's why it is still on my wishlist. It just isn't needed for my current campaigns so I haven't picked it up yet. ...

Drivethrurpg (or Rpgnow) has Dragonmech pdfs on sale for a couple more hours.

I didn't realize that Amethyst existed before 4E until someone mentioned getting the 3.5 version. Knowing that I understand your limitations to what is allowed. Once I read about Amethyst I determined it wasn't the setting for me but I still have it on my drivethrurpg wishlist. Still hoping D&D ...

Can we share our favorite melee weapons here? Yes. Assuming you are talking in relation to DragonMech. If you just want to talk about real weapons then no this isn't the place. (I normally wouldn't specify this but your sig and lack of other posts makes me wonder if you are just trying to market th...

Played through the original .hack series (Infection/Mutation/Outbreak/Quarantine) and .hack//G.U. Still waiting for the .hack//Link to come to the US. I have the dvds for .hack//Sign, Legend of Twilight, and Roots. Also have most of the mangas and novels. It was the inspiration for Worlds Within Wor...

And I take it you run a DragonMech game converted to 4e, then? I have some steamborg stuff worked up that needs feedback. (I keep forgetting to post it here. I think I linked it on 4e DragonMech though). 4e Steamborg: http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/21799657/Pushing_the_mechanics_...

My players will hate you when they get to higher levels.

I like the Rift Dragon more but both are pretty good. In fact the Scum Dragon would probably fit better with my campaign storyline.

Actually the pdf is available again. That is rather expensive. Paizo actually has the print version available for less at the moment.

Well I didn't get any response for my first question. Hopefully that is due to my suggestion of 5+class level SR seems reasonable and not because you feel I'm not worth your time. Nevermind. It does seem obvious with the description that they must be grabbing the opponent. I guess I shouldn't have b...

I was looking at the Sih'hel found in DCC #51.5. They have a SR of 6 with 1 Warrior Level. The Sorcerer 2/Cleric 2 Oracle is missing the SR. I assume it should be 9 (5 + class levels) but 3.5 isn't always consistent about SR progression.

I've been bothered by the disappearance of pdf products due to the ending of the d20 system license. To combat that Identical Games has created the Endangered Races line. It will take open game content and expand upon the material so that it is not lost. The first is the Quasta , originally from Dra...

1) The specific text of the cat lord from MM2 AD&D1, Epic Level Handbook, and the Tome of Horrors 1 is copyrighted. OGL allows you to reuse the Tome of Horrors 1 version. You can certainly make a similar cat-themed character. How much similarity is allowed is up to debate. 2) GSL is very differe...

What about this: http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=RADM01 That's technically a Ronin Arts product produced with a license to the Dragonmech setting from Goodman Games. Some companies have been removing the d20 system license products. Others have been replacing the logo and updating the product t...

Did any of the other dragonmech books ever become PDFs I can buy and download other than rumors/lies? They were pdfs but with the ending of the d20 system license they have been removed. Or at least I assume that is why they were removed. They could be modified to removed the d20 system logo and ot...

Do small characters use only 1/2 a payload unit? I haven't found anything to suggest that. I'm inclined to say no they still use a full PU. We do know that the aboleth count as 4 crew but the Brine Worm only lists it as having 1 PU for crew and 1 open.

Despite all the cool 4E stuff you have, I keep looking for an update on this. Any word?

The one thing I can't recreate from the time I first started playing D&D (and other RPGs), is that no one knew what anything was! You described some weird thing (or had it described to you) and no one knew what to expect from the beast. To some degree I've gotten that with my 4E game. No one kn...

But has anyone, from either side of the screen, ever dealt with 'mythical' creatures in D&D? Stuff that is said to exist, but that isn't ever confirmed to exist? I've created myths which may or may not be true but have never used them in a game. Lost Knowledge of the Spheres of Many Eyes has tw...

I've just started running a 4E game. My suggestion is create an overview of the world and fill in areas important to the campaign. As the PCs move to other areas or decide they want to play a character from a different area fill in the information. I used DragonMech, Aztecs: Empire Of The Dying Sun ...

I was looking through the pdfs on sale at drivethrurpg and found Doom Striders. Anyone bought it? Is it of any use for DragonMech?
