I'm Rich Redman, one of the designers of the d20 Modern Roleplaying Game. I may not be an expert, but I'm experienced and opinionated. Here in the bunker, we can explore some corners of the d20 Modernrules and create rules variants, and I can offer suggestions for your campaign based on my experience writing and running games. This past year, I saw a message board thread in which posters complained about how difficult it is to write non-FX adventures for modern games using the d20 System.

Writing Tips No matter what I do to pay the bills, I think of myself as a professional writer. A Writer Writes, Always I first heard this expression in the movie Throw Mama from the Train, and experience has taught me that it's true. Write for some period of time every day. KISS generally stands for Keep It Simple Smiling or Keep It Simple Stupid. Finish In keeping with the KISS principle, finish what you write. Good Enough Is Great Silence the Voices Pick a topic.

This month, we'll finish talking about how to write adventures. We'll focus primarily on non-FX adventures for modern-era d20 games, but hopefully the concepts presented here will be applicable to writing any kind of adventure. This column has two main sections: Process and Ideas. Process is for people who like to do their adventure preparation in advance, either for the next installment of a campaign or for publication. Process Last month we talked a little about general processes for writing.

Get an Opponent Your first step in writing an adventure is to define the opposition. Yes, I said "opponent," not "villain. " Have a Plot Hook the Heroes. Judging NPC Opposition in Combat - Burning Wiki. Judging NPC Combat Opposition First off, I highly recommend using the rules for Simple NPCs and Deeper NPCs outline in the Burning Rogues appendix (page 280 of the Burning Wheel). I only burn NPCs that are Crucial Opposition. That said, the biggest differentiator is number of opponents. A difference in numbers can be punishing to whichever side is outnumbered.

So encounters where the PCs outnumber their opponents will tend to be easier, encounters where both sides have the same numbers will tend toward the average, and encounters where the opponents outnumber the PCs will be more difficult. I know that seems obvious, but I point this out because your characters are not going to survive an onslaught by 15 orcs unless they're lucky. After that, it really depends on the abilities in question. If you're looking at combat, the first thing you want to look at is what kind of Positioning dice your NPCs will have, especially in Range & Cover.

In Fight! Keep in mind that in Fight! - Thor Olavsrud. Fantasy Name Generator. By Samuel Stoddard - Version 1.5 One of the perks of creating fantasy stories -- whether by writing a story or game or by role-playing -- is you get to make up the names. Some people relish the task while others are frustrated by it. Some like it but can't seem to create names that are diverse enough. Fantasy Name Generator is a tool that can help you. It can generate an endless number of random names (of people, places, or anything) that would be suitable for use in a fantasy setting.

In addition, this tool can be fairly amusing to use even if you don't have any name creating to do. You can use the fantasy name generator below.
