This avatar matches me! Since I am Jonathan_Shade's son, I thought it fitting to pick the name of his second longest surviving ADnD character. For those out there who remember it, yes the character does have a bloodline back to the D'Ambervilles.


*bump* For the Demonmistress of Baked Goods and Supreme ChatMistress.


Ok so you have been captured and stripped of all of your items, what if the group, that just captured you, casts dispel magic on you. Wouldn't that negate most of these options?


Happy Birthday Lilith!

Looks like he never completed his conversions, but there is a lot there...

Thank you, DigitalElf. very grateful for the effort.

Just as an aside, did you know the world of Tamriel was first conceived of as a homebrew D&D campaign setting? It was then adapted to the Elder Scrolls games. It would be cool if Bethesda would put up information about conversions, but I suppose they don't because of various copyright issues. That, and they're too busy producing awesome games of their own!

No I didn't know that, that's great. Too bad it isn't still posted somewhere out there.

It has some (homebrew) stats for the races and a few other (related) things...

-That One Digitalelf Fellow-

Thank you, that was definitely helpful. Anyone else have anything that I might be able to use?

None that I know of. What would you want to convert? Just the setting? The classes? The races?

I don't think the setting will be terribly difficult to convert, mainly looking to not reinvent the wheel with regards to the races, classes, and magic system.


We are looking to see if anyone has seen or knows where we might be able to find an Elder Scrolls Conversion for DnD.

Thanks.


If you are waiting for LFR, RPGA has the herald test up for those 4e DM's who wish to cert.


*bump* - I would like to read about more kills


When I was hired for this position, the guy that I was replacing was leaving because he had sexual relations with the Executive Sec. and had gotten her pregnant. He tells me this on my second day there, and that I am not supposed to tell her anything about him leaving.
That's just the beginning, most of the ladies here don't bother with the soaps, because work is much more interesting than anything they could bother to put on TV. Far more drama about who is sleeping with who, different family members on the payroll, etc.

I hated this as well. However, I think they did eventually make it available on their website somewhere as a PDF. I'll try to find it again and post a link.

Edit: Found it. It's on page 7 of the download, I think.

I stand corrected.

Are you referring to a city map? Ghostwalk is based in a town/city at the base of a mountain, whose underground tunnels finally connect to "The Portal to the Other Side." I believe it was setup that way so you can drop it into any world.

I remember when Games Workshop released their own version of a tactical game/RPG hybrid - it was called Mordheim, and it created quite a buzz for awhile around the LGS. It seems that the fast-paced and simple rules and lesser RP element was just what people were craving, and everyone was playing it like crazy those first few months.

Had Amazon or E-Bay been around back then, I'm sure the game would have produced some pretty impressive numbers in the first week or so as well.

A year later, I couldn't find anyone to play with.

Lesson learned - while its fun to ride out a fad, a rulesystem needs to be interesting to have staying power.

Lets see what 4e is selling for this time next year.. if its still selling at all. ;)

Hear, Hear

Well said.
