Goodman Games

Ok... so I've been a little lack on making progress, here so I'll be throwing myself at this again! New thoughts. Mechs as templates. The classes in the PHB will apparently have 2 basic power sets(ranger has TWF and archery... warlord has int or chr based buffs... fighters sword and board or two han...

well eventual happy birthday to him... you should buy him a PHB for his birthday.

well i don't mean to break the system, I mean to find the things that will/may need to be houseruled.

Oh... here's an idea of some nasty things to throw th template on for a dragon mech game.

Bullette
rust monster
badger
Roc
Gnome

depending on if my local game store is going to be having a midnight release or not I'll be there to buy one. and spend the whole rest of the day pouring over it.. getting a few hours sleep then DM for the world dnd game day... the swag from it is always awesome...then I start dismantling it for pos...

And another idea from my sleep deprived brain from work... Articifial Parts as FEATS!?!?! Steamborg gets a bunch for free, and can pick up more if they want, but it's basic tech in the dragon mech world so having an artifical part or two would not be too much of an investment. Guess the whole thing ...

Now the wholly scientific explanation.... the state of moon light is based on it's position relative to the planet it orbits and the solar body the planet orbits. Not so scientific explanation.... The moon has moved much closer, so it's brighter(relatively) and bigger (relatively) so if takes less t...

I am both proud and scared to play in your campaign...

The same thing would happen but a bit faster if a shadow managed to get on bored... though it would be harder for them to use it...

And here we go again! New things are popping out of wizards on a regular basis now. It's not too long till the release of 4th ed and the Wotc Stormtroopers bust down your doors and burn all your 3.0 and 3.5 books and supplements(even the third party stuff). So here we go! More things to discuss... O...

8 o ...Just a thought ...?!??! That's a capital-A Awesome idea! :mrgreen: I very well may swipe that for something...! Agree! I'm already running a game where aliens are one of the active enemies and I've already made them connected to Mind flayers (though it's not in a dragonmech game). Still a re...

That's exactly what I was thinking(and previously posted) the real problem is not knowing the specifics of how some things work. So other than making lists of things that would be good powers for the dragon mech specific classes. it would be hard to make any attempt at balance at anything other than...

They don't do it cause it leads even more to Min/maxing or the fact that penalties are not a good thing.... especially penalizing INT which really doesn't effect much(since it doesn't effect skill points gained and when was the last time you saw a fighter with a bunch of knowledge skills). The peopl...

Making Mechs Simple(at least for combat) attempt 1 I'll start with a very basic Mech... The Bastion. Bastion Colossal Construct * Mech HP 264 Bloodied 132 AC 20 Fort 25 Reflex 10 Will - Str 30 Dex 10 Speed 12 squares( 60 feet) Weapons Huge Axe * Melee * damage 2d8 + str mod (weapon normally a x3 cri...

Yay! new forum! and no spam! at least not right now....way to go!

Methinks Mr Goodman has had a bit of practice.

eh... I'm very excited for 4th ed... and hopefully the guy in my group that is ancy about it will like it more after this weeks game(we'll be doing another one of the premade 4th ed dungeon beat'em ups) And he's one of those obsessive need to buy all the third party game stuff, kinda guys. Though he...

*deep breath*

The moon is falling on a fantasy world, dragons came with it, the oceans rose and the only protection the world has is Mechs the other recently invented steam based technology and ancient magics, It's a fantasy Steampunk mech based civilization.


A bit of a run on sentence but hey...

Mechs part 1. wherein the basic concepts of Mech building, combat, and space are discussed. To start I'll say there will need to be a very nit-picky and intense reading of the current rules for designing and building Mechs. But the overall goal of this should be to turn the current stat block for me...

yeah... From what i can tell the real reason they are putting it out is to make money since a lot of people are reacting very badly to 4th ed.

I like the old school style of the pics. very retro. Pretty good looking rooms... may have to steal some for my game...cause player handouts keep me from describing rooms...

Whoooo... way to True Res. this umm... 4 year dead thread....
I wish i could have gon to Gen Con.. haven't been in forever, at least since they moved to Indy...

After that little think I do think that it should be a feat to use as it is common enough for a lot of people to be able to do it, but not common enough for everyone to get it for free. FEAT Boiler Training Prerequisite: Trained in Steam Engines. Effect: You gain the Start Boiler, and Pump Boiler ab...

Ok, not knowing the powers that will be released for the standard 4th ed classes we'll start with a few theoretics Steampowers. Originally based on the use of boilers and gears. Some abilities however made their way into the quasi magic zone. most notably, the darkness generator(which never made muc...

and i continue the endless ranting and basic trying to get the easy stuff out of the way... up now HP and skills! From what has been gathered and compiled in the PHB lite Roles say how many HP characters get. Defenders: 15+con score and 6 per level Leaders and Strikers: 12+con score and 5 per level ...

How about dragonMech? is it going to get upgrade to 4th edition? I really liked the setting and would like to see it get updated to 4th edition. Goodman Games is weighing its options for 4E. DragonMech isn't slated to be one of the initial releases, but I know it's a setting Joseph G is fond of. An...

[sblock=feats]blah[/sblock] Hmmm... I believe that this forum can't do the shrinky dinky, hider boxes... ok not to waste the post field... i'll talk about skills here... some skills have been compressed and knowledges have had the "knowledge" knocked out of them.... so now it's only religi...
