Gentle Warrior Improved Grapple ability and Military Martial Arts School

feeds@yuku.com (davidburnside) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 11:41:53 GMT

Good evening to all the mechanics. I have two questions regarding the Gentle Warrior's Improved Grapple ability, found on Modern Player's Companion, vol. I; the way I interpret the ability is that it seems to have the effects of both the Improved Grapple and Improved Grab feats, found on Martial Arts Mayhem vol. I, but the ability's name is Improved Grapple, so, does the ability work as stated, or does it have the effects of the feat of the same name only? Secondly, if it has the...

The publisher doesn't release new material if the product line doesn't sell.

The product line doesn't sell if the publisher doesn't release new material.

We call this a downward spiral.

The Game Mechanics used to have an active website. This forum used to have active discussions. Liberty used to be an evolving and thriving community.

I don't know exactly why the Game Mechanics' production suffered, but I do know that it...

Arcane Quarter Monday!

I know you're probably getting tired of me saying this, but, this time, I have it on good authority that Arcane Quarter will go live this coming Monday!

More Martial Arts Mayhem Freebies

feeds@yuku.com (davidburnside) — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 09:33:18 GMT

Good evening! First of all, I'd like to congratulate all of the mechanics for their explendid work in Martial Arts Mayhem, it's an extremely well done job, and I use it in my every campaigns. Because of that, I wanted to see if the mechanics could make a special freebie for all the fans here; I know that the mechanics borrowed some elements from third party publishers, namely Blood and Fists; thus, I would like to see how a knife-fighting martial arts school ([i]Tanto-jutsu[/i]), such as the...

TGM Update

feeds@yuku.com (effrenatus) — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 22:15:01 GMT

We've posted a news item about TGM to the website. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but it's the first one in a long time and it tries to explain some of our challenges as of late. Feel free to ask questions here.

Init Cards for True20

feeds@yuku.com (Rikrail) — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 10:02:42 GMT

Do TGM have any plans for making cards for True20? I've notices that GR and TGM have worked together on the Bleeding Edge products and I thought of the next logical conclusion. I'd love to see them (and pay for them).

Liberty Street Names

feeds@yuku.com (SilverForce77) — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 08:25:04 GMT

I was looking over the maps of Liberty and realized that none of the streets are named. There is the occasional reference to named streets in the text (a couple in the arcane quarter come to mind), but none on the maps.

Is there a plan to give official names to the streets? Also, when there is a street named in the descriptions, could you indicate which it is?

If not, I'll go ahead and name the streets in my own game, but didn't want to overlap with official names if I could...

Online gaming in the world of Thieve's Quarter

feeds@yuku.com (naturaltwenty) — Sun, 27 May 2007 07:19:42 GMT

Greetings,

I'm looking at starting a campaign set in the Thieve's Quarter "world". I'll use this thread as I get things started. This will be an online virtual tabletop game. I'll more than likely use Screen Monkey (www.nbos.com ) and Skype ( www.skype.com ).

Later,

Liberty calendar

feeds@yuku.com (Jack Spartan) — Sat, 26 May 2007 11:33:15 GMT

If anyone is interested, I have developed a calendar in Excel and Word for a homebrew campaign I am setting in the High Kingdom. It would also be suitable for any Liberty campaign.

The calendar is based upon the pantheon of the eight gods and has eight months of forty-five days each. Each month is further divided into three fortnights of fifteen days each. (If you're a real student of Roman history, you will note that I have taken some liberty with the terms Kalends, Ides, and...

SW Saga edition skills -> Modern

feeds@yuku.com (PsiSeveredHead) — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 17:04:01 GMT

The new edition of Star Wars has drawn a lot of attention. One of the things that caught my attention was how skills are dealt with. The new system makes creating NPCs take a lot less time, although it seems to reduce the breadth of skills available, and I can't figure out how multiclassing skills work (I have to wait for the book *sigh*)

On to the point. The new skill system works like this: you don't buy ranks anymore. You get a bonus to a skill equal to half your level (if...

Random question; does the "D" in JD Wiker stand fo

feeds@yuku.com (PsiSeveredHead) — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 17:02:08 GMT

Here's a mostly random question.

Does the "D" in JD Wiker stand for Dennis? There's a Dennis Wiker character in the Alternity StarCraft supplement, and I was wondering if the same last name was coincidence.

Arcane Quarter Text Finished

feeds@yuku.com (JD Wiker) — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 08:34:23 GMT

I finished it over the weekend, and I'm going over the whole text again to look for errors while I wait for the last map to show up (which I've been promised will happen this week).

Everyone re-cross those fingers!

d20 Supers?

feeds@yuku.com (Grakarg) — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 21:54:03 GMT

Any chance that TGM might work on a d20 Supers expansion book? Maybe an improved version of d20 Spectaculars that has vanished from development at WOTC?

Myself and many others would LOVE to give money for a well done book like this! (see thread "pls don't abandon d20 spectaculars' on WOTC's website)

Thanks!

Proposed minor change to the Gunslinger

feeds@yuku.com (PsiSeveredHead) — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 20:25:24 GMT

Would this be a fair and reasonable change? Would you like to play a Gunslinger like this? Would you allow this?

Proposed changes

Remove Weapon Focus (at 2nd-level) and Greater Weapon Focus (at 8th-level). Replace with "Marksmanship" instead.

Each time you gain Marksmanship, you choose a specific type of pistol. You gain a +1 bonus to hit and damage with this pistol. The choice stacks, so if you apply it to a pistol twice, you get +2 to hit and damage. Note that...

Filling blank cards on computer

feeds@yuku.com (mikepmarkey) — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 07:03:54 GMT

It may be posted elsewhere here, but I didn't see it. If you have a full version of Acrobat, can you fill in the blank initiative cards and save them? I use them routinely now, but would love to be able to just print cards for my custom monsters instead of hand writing them each time.

Printing Pre-printed Init Cards?

feeds@yuku.com (gregrh) — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 13:43:25 GMT

Hi,

I have a question about printing the pre-printed initiative cards (I bought them from ENWorld). Is there any way to get the backsides of the cards printed directly on the back of the appropriate front side? Right now, it appears that the backside pages are not mirrored properly to the front side pages, and plus, the individual entries are not mirrored to their respective front sides. Right now, it only seems like one can print out both sides on separate pieces of paper and taping...
