Hey folks! Just thought I would let you know how the character creation process went for my new DQ game. Three of the four players were able to make it, and...
This, on the whole, is excellent news. It seems that we can do pritty much as we like as long as we don't charge (and Wizards don't change their mind). Its...
Yeah, that was pretty much how I read that, too, David. Great news! Hmm, maybe I should make my DragonQuest page public.... Anyway, I'm glad to see they've...
I've posted an updated DQ Index in the files section. (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/dqn-list/files/DQindex.html) Let me know if there are other things...
Well, you could include the Weapons & Armor supplement and the Aspects supplement I made if you're of a mind to, but the W&A one needs a note about requiring...
Stephen, I really appreciate your sharing this process with us. There always seems to be one "problem-child". How much exp do you award for swapping a stat ...

Stephen, I think you are correct. I think the addition of exchanging exp for stat points is a great one. You make a good point in showing how it can improve...

This is probably a silly idea, but if I ever get to run a DQ game again, I plan on tieing MA to magical resistance (low MA corresponds to low MR) to help...
My own personal feeling is that this runs counter to DQ philosophy. Magic is of benefit, but also a vunrabillity. If you have the flaw of magical abilliy you...
