Bayburt" Subject: Re: Is it just me? No, my new version of the bard was a deliberate upgrade. I (and many others) see the RAW 3.5 bard as weak compared to the other classes. Erol K.

Someone asked what "BRP rules" were. That would be Chaosium's Basic Role Playing (as in Runequest, Cthulhu, Stormbringer, etc), re-packaged and re-released not too long ago. They also have a book called Classic Fantasy, that is more of an attempt to transfer the OD&D experience to the BRP system. I have the BRP book, and plan to buy the Classic Fantasy book too. Then I'm going to convert my Mystara/Wilderlands/Spelljammer campaign over. I'll let you know how it goes. No virus found in this outgoing message.

I have been DM'ing a Mystara 4E campaign for about 7 months now. Have been (or will be) converting some of the B series, A series and 2nd ed Mystara adventures, as well as the WOTI adventures. Haven't used any 4e adventures because I am playing in FR campaign and don't want to run anything that my DM has already read. (since most of the players are in both campaigns). ******************************************************************** The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp The Mystara Homepage: http://www.pandius.com To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. ------------------------------ End of MYSTARA-L Digest - 2 Jun 2010 to 3 Jun 2010 (#2010-4) ************************************************************
