Re: backup site down
Mike, if you hate pop-ups, then I really recommend the Google Bar. Check out http://toolbar.google.com I haven't had more than twenty unwanted pop-ups since I got it. I absolutely love it, best pop-up stopper I've seen yet.

Re: Firestaf world as a Rollplaying game
The only real way I see of having the weave is through either a skill such as the Force skills in the Star Wars D20 system. The real problem lies in the form of making a weaving system. Though the best way would be to use the Vitality/Wound point system and as you go to create a spell involving fire ...

Re: Firestaf world as a Rollplaying game
The strength in spheres thing is basically just being a specialist wizard which means you choose a certain school or sphere and gain more power in it but in return lose other spheres or schools. Or it could be done by giving people a certain amount of points to distribute to their power in spheres ...

Re: Firestaf world as a Rollplaying game
We'll also need a pantheon of gods, what they rule over and what not. Probably also a list of magical artifacts/weapons that have been lost to the sands of time. Stuff like that as well.

Re: Firestaf world as a Rollplaying game
Let's see, what will be needed primarily is races, such as the Wikuni, Selani, Sha'Kar and all the other races, humans can remain the same with no problems.
We also need important sites (places for adventures like old ruins or whatever) in certain regions, and important characters.
We probably ...

Level Adjustment - Something used for Drow and Ogre when they are played by PCs or leveled up class enemies. The more powerful races generally recieve a racial adjustment.
And making it in to a class rather than a race is great in the fact that players can choose to improve their class or racial ...

Re: Firestaf world as a Rollplaying game
Let's see, a good explanation, there have been 5 editions of Dungeons and Dragons. The first is called Basic, then there was Advanced Dungeons and Dragons and that was followed by Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition. Then, 3.0 came out rather lately and with it introduced the d20 system which ...
