Like many gamers, the bulk of my adventures have been in the fantasy genre, but my favorite setting, bar none, is the posta- pocalyptic campaign. In fact, when I was on the d20 Modern design team, I started up a campaign in the office to playtest our rules—and my setting of choice was postapocalyptic. From the launch of that campaign almost a year before the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game was published, my players are still traversing the wastes, battling bike-gang marauders, and delving into the supernatural origins of the nuclear doomsday today. I’ve long believed that the postapoca- lypse is a perfect setting for roleplaying games. Postapocalyptic worlds feature high adventure in a gritty setting. The landscape is the epitome of lawlessness— a make-your-own-rules world in which adventuring heroes thrive. As in fantasy, anything is possible in a world twisted by mutations or the incomprehensible effects of alien assault or supernatural incursion. And postapocalyptic settings blend the best of modern worlds— firearms, technology, and a modern outlook—with fantasy’s powerful foes and epic stories. Beyond all that is the fact that postapocalyptic games are inevitably thematic. The world as we—the players—know it has been destroyed. Can civilization recover? Will the heroes be a force for order in the chaos, or just another part of the problem? A fantasy world allows for all vari- ety of motivation: If a character simply likes kicking in doors and taking on the monsters, that’s enough. But in a postapocalyptic game every player, consciously or A survivor surveys the KA wreckage of his world 620_88046_Chpt0.indd 4 4/1/05 12:00:16 PM d20 APOCALYPSE not, makes a decision about how he relates to the world his character has inherited. What You Need To Play The most compelling aspect of a postapocalyptic The d20 Apocalypse supplement is intended for use in any d20 Modern or d20 Future game. setting, perhaps, is how it is at once familiar and You will need the d20 Modern Roleplaying alien. We’ve all seen abandoned buildings with Game and the d20 Future supplement to make their broken windows and weeds growing in the use of the material in this book. In addition, corners, and dented hulks of cars collecting rain- d20 Apocalypse contains references to the d20 water and rust.

  • SILVER AGE SENTINELS (D20)

    Talking Up Our Products With the weekly influx of new roleplaying titles, it’s almost impossible to keep track of every product in every RPG line in the adventure games industry. To help you organize our titles and to aid customers in finding information about their favorite products, we’ve designed a set of point-of-purchase dividers. These hard-plastic cards are much like the category dividers often used in music stores, but they’re specially designed as a marketing tool for hobby stores. Each card features the name of one of our RPG lines printed prominently at the top, and goes on to give basic information on the mechanics and setting of the game, special features that distinguish it from other RPGs, and the most popular and useful supplements available. The dividers promote the sale of backlist items as well as new products, since they help customers identify the titles they need most and remind buyers to keep them in stock. Our dividers can be placed in many ways. These are just a few of the ideas we’ve come up with: •A divider can be placed inside the front cover or behind the newest release in a line if the book is displayed full-face on a tilted backboard or book prop. Since the cards 1 are 11 /2 inches tall, the line’s title will be visible within or in back of the book. When a customer picks the RPG up to page through it, the informational text is uncovered. The card also works as a restocking reminder when the book sells.

  • Dice-Rolling Mechanisms in Rpgs

    Dice-Rolling Mechanisms in Rpgs

    Dice-Rolling Mechanisms in RPGs Torben Mogensen email: [email protected] March 28, 2006 Abstract Most RPGs (role-playing games) use some sort of randomizer when resolving ac- tions. Most often dice are used for this, but a few games use cards, rock-paper- scissors or other means of randomization. There are dozens of different ways dice have been used in RPGs, and we are likely to see many more in the future. This is not an evolution from bad methods to better methods – there is no such thing as a perfect dice-roll system suitable for all games (though there are methods that are suitable for none). But how will a designer be able to decide which of the existing dice-roll method is best suited for his game, or when to invent his own? There is no recipe for doing this – it is in many ways an art. But like any art, there is an element of craft involved. This paper will attempt to provide some tools and observations that, hopefully, will give the reader some tools for the craftman- ship involved in the art of choosing or designing dice-roll mechanisms for RPGs. 1 Introduction Ever since Dungeons & Dragons was published in 1974, randomization has, with a few exceptions, been a part of role-playing games. Randomization has been used for creating characters, determining if actions are successful, determining the amount of damage dealt by a weapon, determining encounters (“wandering monsters”, etc.) and so on. We will look mainly at randomizers in action resolution – the act of determining how successful an attempted action is.

Don't think of it as a library index, think of it as a road filled with bookstores and little street market booths and you have to talk to each shopkeeper. A HUGE THANK YOU to the Anon Brigade, who do the digging, loading, and posting. It has been cleaned up some, labeled poorly, and shuffled about a little to perhaps be more useful. There are links to ~13,000 pdfs. Don't be intimidated, some are duplicates. Go get a coffee and browse. As Anon says; “Surely in Da Archive™ somewhere.” Part I is the Personal Collections. They are Huge. You need to go to each one and look at them. They often have over 1000 links each. Part II is the Alphabetical Section. Well........ when I say “alphabetical”, I really mean artistically arranged according to my whim and level of sobriety. Ctrl+F will be of limited use in this document, you have to wander around and look with your eyes. Please buy a copy of a book if you use it. No really, I mean it.

    The master of Ravenloft is having guests for dinner . and you are invited. A dark shape emerges from the shadow of Castle Ravenloft. A fl ash of lightning reveals the sneering countenance of Count Strahd von Zarovich. His eyes burn with eternal hunger and contempt for life. From a narrow balcony, he peers out into the drizzling twilight at the few sad lights of the village below and mutters a single name: “Ireena . .” The Expedition to Castle Ravenloft campaign adventure updates the original 1st Edition Ravenloft® module, retaining the Gothic fl avor and familiar elements while expanding and reimagining some of the locations to create a deeper, richer adventure experience. This campaign adventure is designed for characters of levels 6–10 and features a new, easy-to-use combat encounter format.

  • Menace Manual

    Menace Manual

    MONSTERS THAT TIME FORGOT CONVERTING MONSTERS When I was asked to help write the Menace Manual for the d20 MODERN Roleplaying Game, I was overjoyed to see so many monsters on the list from the Dark•Matter Campaign Setting for the ALTERNITY Roleplaying Game. After all, I’d had a great time writing Xenoforms: Aliens, Demons, & Aberrations with Rich Redman, and I was really looking forward to converting some of those creatures to the d20 MODERN rules. Then reality sank in: Converting monsters from ALTERNITY to the d20 MODERN rules wouldn’t be the same as converting monsters from DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, with its built-in d20 System compatibility. Heck, it was starting to look like work. So I put together a system for conversion, which I’ll share with you now. We’ll see how it works with the conversion of a pretty basic Dark•Matter creature, El Chupacabras (from Xenoforms). The Original El Chupacabras is a small creature with 2 Hit Dice that can climb, attacks with claws and bite, and has psion- ics and a blood drain attack. It gains its sustenance by sucking the blood from warm-blooded animals. So let’s see how the conversion process works. Size and Type By JD Wiker El Chupacabras fits nicely into the Small category for size. It resembles an animal in many ways, but its psionic powers make it a good candidate for magical beast. Ability Scores The first thing I needed to change Dark•Matter mon- Converting Monsters for the d20 MODERN Roleplaying Game sters into d20 MODERN creatures was a method of con- verting ability scores from ALTERNITY to the d20 d20MODERN System.
