Basically, there's a lot of things that could be improved. I just kinda wanted to know what everyone thinks is the most important thing to work on. Everyone seems to have their own channeling system, their own version of the blademaster, and everything else. What do you think?

I'm in favor of more campaigns myself. I'd like to see more of what other people are doing in the campaign setting, how they deal with different parts of the world, etc.

I think many of the other things like channeling systems have been talked to death, but I think everyone could use new campaign ideas to spruce up their own campaign. More than just encounters, but ideas on extra themes to weave into a campaign.

I wanted to do this poll for several reasons. First of all, as I'm doing my website, it helps me know what I should focus on.
Secondly, as we post threads here at these forums, sometimes things seem a little dead. Perhaps we should steer our threads toward what is needed to enhance and improve the game in these categories, and especially the ones that seem most desired.
I'd love to see more posts that have new ideas for weaves and encounters, and also campaign ideas and plotlines, and even links to written campaigns! As for channeling systems, I can think of at least five completely unique ones off the top of my head, and the classes have been revised at least a handful of times. I guess it's a call-to-attention poll, to bring us all to awareness to what we all want to see more of. I love these forums and this game, and I think that if the creative people here gave just a tiny bit of effort, we could have several books' worth of ideas and new stuff, and campaigns.

TRWB - could you change the color scheme on your site? That black on dark green look is very nearly unreadable. Thanks.

But it's pretty clearly campaigns and adventurers that I'd be looking for; there are already way more alternate channeling systems and classes than I know what to do with (and the one I threw into the ring myself was designed to reduce the number in my game, at least).

Black on dark green? It's not supposed to be black on dark green! It's supposed to be green on light tan. If it's looking like that, I'll definately change it. Sorry about that, everyone. I'll get on it right away.

Funny, on my brouwser (IE6), it is dark green on light green and it looks fine. What brouwser are you using?

TRW, my browser sees it the way you said.

Hmmm...that is very strange. I use Mozilla, just for a reference.

I'm still gonna work on new schemes, though, because I want everyone to be able to see it fine.

I didn't look too closely then; I guess it's dark green on this greenish-brown thing now. But whatever the colors are, they've got a horrible contrast ratio. There's a reason why everyone uses black on white (or, rarely, white on black). Brown backgrounds don't work well unless they're really light; green text only works if it's bright and on black background (and even then, it brings back bad memories of DOS and text-mode terminals, so it's probably a bad idea). Both colors are too dark to work well with a light alternate, and are too light to work with dark alternate.

obAside: This isn't just me being snarky; I'm a web developer in my day job.

No doubt, and you didn't seem narky or whatever. I don't want the color scheme to be a distraction, and you're not the first complainer.

OK my two coppers

More campaigns/encounters that involve political intreagues and less combat

One of the things I like most about RJ's world is that it's not all about the fighting but the d20 system is not lending itself to political intreague to my mind...

Maybe it's just me hitting a brick wall that has AD&D written across it in blood-red spray paint... smile.gif

I do think the idea of us GM's posting our campaign stories a lot though, the ability to borrow from like-minded great minds is always good.

Campaigns. Not only are they more likely to be used and more fun to write, but you can sneak in all the others in your campaign world descriptions.

If I seem to hate the d20 system, its only because I hate the system. Actually I just hate 3e, its biased me against the system. I rather like WoT.

For those of you that haven't made the treck to my site, I am trying to slowly post all of my notes that I have taken for my campaign on line, so feel free to check that out. Its in my effort to contribute and all. biggrin.gif Some of its pretty character specific, but there are definately parts which could be pretty easily adapted.

Also, I have written up an adventure, but dont have Adobe Acrobat, and would really like to have it on-line as a PDF file rather than as a regular webpage. My question is this, since I've never used Acrobat: is it easy to convert Word files to acrobat? Is it something that somebody could do quickly, and if so, is there somebody who has it that might be willing to? If its not easy, dont worry about it, I'll eventually post it on a normal page, its just going to bloody long that way.

Cheers.

I voted for encounters. More campaigns would certainly be nice too but, my personal opinion is that the game is most sorely lacking in the monsters-to-thrash department.

I might be able to convert it, Zarozynia. I'd need it to be .txt or .wps format. Email it to me if you want me to.
Yeah, I agree that more monsters-to-thrash are needed, though I don't remember which I voted for anymore. I think I voted for Other. But yeah, that's why I'm trying to do the Encounters Handbook.

You can email it to me, I can convert from word to PDF as I have full acrobat at work.

If you want to you can also look at OpenOffice which allows conversion to PDF as well. This is free to download.

i use the monster manuals for lots of monsters i own I, II, III they have proven very useful as has d20 modern but i agree more monsters would be good as would more adventure moduals as would a 3.5 conversion (but thats asking alot) oh and alot more weaves but you can easily edit D&D spells for that

heh...I have my group's campaign written up as a log...actually more of a story at times, but people could possibly take something from it. I don't know...*will get a second opinion before stripping it down and using it as example*
Oh...and I have Acrobat (on this computer in fact! Yay!), so no worries
