I have a PDF of the Player's Handbook, which I will e-mail to you if you don't have a copy, you don't need to memorize it or anything, but it would help to have it handy for this game.If you want to play another race,then No level adjustments above +1.If you give me a good reason to play a race that's not +1 level adjustment I might let you. If you want a different class, just ask(I know all classes for 3.5).

-There is no Encumberence, but please be realistic(no portable rams).
-There will not be any Racial Bonuses to anything other than starting attributes.
-To Simplify the Arcane Check Penalty, Wizards cannot wear armor period.

Oh...well...no, I don't own a copy of any Paranoia books. =\\
I do own a crapload of D&D books though.
Apologies for double post.

SirNoobalot, I assume you don't either...
I really don't want to try and host that... again.
I only got a couple of players and nobody seemed commited to it, except for Hypermnestra. The rules are convoluted in a way that ONLY 1 person can actually know ALL the rules, in the actual game. It also takes a good 8-10 hours to read (there's a lot of funny material in there, seriously).

Ok, does anyone else have any rule sets besides D&D? shadowjak135 metioned he had RIFTS, which is a pretty good system.

Anyway, SirNoobalot reveals to the party he has a bag of items he found near where the encounter with the Manticore occured. it looks like a bag of holding type I(weight limit 250 pounds, size limit 30 cu. ft.), which contains:
Mstwk leather armor
Mstwk Longsword
3 Dwarven goblets(120 gp each)
1 magic arrow
Map to Droskar's Crucible
5 gp
20 sp
300 cp
It appears the Half-Elf explored Droskar's Crucible and found some treasure, but only got through 2 rooms. the rooms are drawn in poor detail and all you can get from this map is the shape of the rooms.

"Would you like to explore the rest of the Droskar's Crucible?"
I don't ask for anything from that loot...just make sure it's divvied up evenly.

"Not right now of course...we should complete our prior missions before tackling a new one. First we find the children, then eliminate the kobolds, then we can explore."

"Well for being thrown into a wagon against my will, and for respecting the deceased's souls, I think i deserve most of it or AT LEAST first dibs." Luthien says aggressively.
