Crime and Punishment ~ Gary J. Sled ~ (From Olik
A. Ringald page) The most detailed system ever on criminal
acts and what punishments they are rewarded with. Takes on a procedural
approach, where one starts with the crime itself, and then applies
modifiers for such diverse aspects as the situations around the
crime, the dispositions of the magistrate and the solicitor, weather,
bribes, and more, ending with detailed descriptions on the punishment,
and even the chances of avoiding it.
Critical Hits & Fumbles - Spells & Weapons ~
? ~ Charts and Tables for critical hits and fumbles for both
spells and weapons. Fumbles for spells are also categorized by
types of spells. Critical and fumbles for weapons are categorized
by types of weapons, slashing,
trusting, crushing, polearms, spikes etc. Includes physical after
effects from critical hits.

Great Elemental Netbooks 1 & 2 ~ Itzhak
Even & David "Draegarius" Alexander ~ Not
much may be common to all Outer Planes, but some things; like
spells and psionic abilities for surviving in them, are constant.
This section also contains new Inner Planar Sects (the Brotherhood
of Alchemy, the Evolutionists), new spells and psionic powers
designed for
surviving in the Inner Planes. Also described in this document
are the Lords of the Quasielemental Planes. Mephits they may be,
but they're still major powers in their Elemental Planes. Basically,
this chapter is a splattering of new information about the Inner
Planes in general; cutters wanting more specifics can go towards
the chapters that follow.
Make the World a Happening Place ~ Rick Underwood ~ Unlike in a simple game or simple campaing, in a fully run continuity campaign the characters are not the centre of the universe. They interact with a living and breathing world, a world which acts independantly of the characters, and calls for an accounting of the characters' actions. The major link between each adventure for this type of campaign is the party and the world in which they live. Linked adventures such as hunting a major villian, quest for an artifact etc, are then a part of the continuity campaign, rather than the entire campaign. A continuity campaign can be as complex as the DM has time to allocate to its creation. There is no doubt the continuity campaign requires more time to prepare. This article aims to illustrate how such a campaign can be produced, and how it affects game play.
Missile Damage Resolution (Embedded Missiles) ~ Syzygy ~ Here is a draft of some rules that can be used to simulate the danger inherent in getting shot by an arrow, beyond mere hit points. Please give any comments you have on how reasonable, playable, and useful the guidelines seem to you, as well as any recommendations for improvement. These guidelines are freeware (all rites reversed!), and can be used, reproduced, altered, or thrown out the window at will (as long as no pedestrians might be hurt by the falling debris).
Netbook of Names ~ Robert Christian ~ Still looking for names for you Businesses, Items, Locations, People, Characters and Catch All? Here's a few nice ideas in the Netbook of Names.
Netbook of Riddles ~ Mark Manning ~ Gee! Those darn quests without puzzles and riddles are so boring! Well, not anymore! Hundreds of Riddles in this book.

wizard spells, wu jen spells, advanced rules about magic, new
devices, new dragons.

Plots Netbooks (6) ~ Compiled by Phil Scadden and Aaron
Sher ~ As above, more new plots for you! (includes non fantasy
plots).
Psionics in Planescape ~ Heregul,
Member of the Sign of One ~ Psionics are the powers of
the mind, and in the Outer Planes, where belief is power, the
study of psionics is a respected art, although somewhat rare,
art. Cutters able to manipulate their environments with their
minds are respected by most bloods keen enough to realize their
power over their surroundings. 'Course, psionics are just as affected
by the nature of the Planes as magic is, and a mindbender should
be aware of these changes before they wander into the Abyss (or
beyond). In some cases, these changes mirror the changes found
in the Planes of Chaos, Planes of Conflict, and Planes of Law
boxed sets. In other cases, they reflect the nature of the specific
Planes. However, because of the individual nature of psionic abilities,
the planes are more likely to modify their use. Some graybeards
say it's because of the magical nature of the planes; it permeates
all things and a lone mindbender can't help but be influenced
by it.
The information presented within this document in entirely optional;
it need serve only as a guide for individual DMs to construct
their own rules regarding psionics in the Planescape setting.
The Complete Planeswalkers' Handbook was sadly negligent in giving
psionicist level limits for the various extraplanar races, so
I have attempted to write my own level limits and descriptions
of the various races and how they react to character class.
This work refers to much from the Will and the Way, the Dark Sun
resource for all things related to psionics. It is since out of
print, but may be found on TSR's site at http://www.tsr.com/ADND/WillWay.html.
I recommend that you download it; this document expands on much
of what is found within it, except towards the direction of the
Planescape setting. All page references to the Will and the Way
are references to the RTF file from TSR's website, since I believe
it to be more widespread among Planescape players than the book
version.
To the players out there, remember that this material doesn't
take effect unless your DM wants to use it: it involves a few
changes that are more prominent that many planar magical alterations.
Also, to DMs out there, don't try and spring this whole thing
on the players at once; incorporate it slowly into your campaigns.
Time Unit Combat System for AD&D 2nd Ed ~ Design:
Nils-Børge Malkenes / Co-designers: Nils Petter Skjervheim
& André Simonsen ~ This new combat and initiative
system was first thought of in the early summer of 1997. I felt
a need for a better combat system than the original AD&D-system.
That system took to long time to play and I noticed that many
players weren't paying too much attention to the parts of the
battle that didn't involve their own PCs. But still I didn't want
to make a totally new system that changed any other parts of the
game. So I sat down with the intention of making a system that:
1. Was faster to play than the original AD&D-system.
2. Made players more observant during battleplay.
3. Made its rules from excisting AD&D rules and terms.
And so I came up with the TimeUnit combat system. The core idea
was inspired by the computer game "X-Com - Terror from the
Deep", but I didn't want any rounds in my new system. I wanted
each battle to be an ever ongoing activity, with no pauses.
Traps Collection 1 ~ Jason Seeley ~ A whole lot of
Traps for all the nasty or practical dungeon masters. 3 Traps
compilations : The Trap Collection, Generic Traps and Traps, Traps,
Traps.
Traps Collection 2 ~ Jason Seeley ~ People are so
evil that they come up with more traps, this book is double the

Unearthed Arcania ~ Edited by The Arcanium ~ An accessory
for the 2nd edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Fantasy Roleplaying
game. By the members of the ADND-L mailing list and the internet
community. Contains Places of Interest, Denizens and Power, Game
Mechanic, Spells, Magic Items, Adventures and Gamin Aid. Not to
be mistaken with the ancient previous Unearthed Arcana from TSR.
For an chilling preview, read the preface
from Gary Gygax.
Whimsy Cards ~ Lion Rampant ~ Transcription by Brandon
Blackmoor ~ Around a decade ago, a little company called Lion
Rampant came out with a neat game device called Whimsy Cards.
This was a deck of cards with plot devices on them. Each player
would get one at the beginning of the game, and would play them
at some point during the game when it would make the story more
interesting (or make the PC's lives more difficult!). If the GM
liked the use of the Whimsy Card, the player might get another
one to replace the one she played (use of Whimsy Cards is always
subject to GM approval and/or modification).
Whimsy Cards influenced quite a few games, although you haven't
been able to buy Whimsy Cards themselves for several years now.
You can, however, buy Storypath Cards from Three Guys Gaming.
Storypath Cards are just as much fun, and in many ways are superior
to, Whimsy Cards (for one thing, you get more cards). I suggest
you run right out and buy a pack or two of Storypath Cards.
To give you a feel what Whimsy Cards were like, this is a listing of the various cards that were found in a Whimsy Card deck.
X.P. Awards System ~ Ole A. Ringdal ~ For the last ten years or so we've enjoyed playing the Dungeons & Dragons and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying games, we have always lacked a balanced and proper set of rules for awarding experience point bonuses to player characters perfoming acts worthy of such. The problem has been that while the Dungeon Master's Guide provides rules and guidelines for awarding experience points, those rules are not scaled to take into account how much the awards will be worth to PCs of higher levels (than those for which the rules were obviously intended Therefore, we have created and adapted to our gaming a more balanced system for handing out experience awards, taking into account the levels the PCs are on, thereby making sure that every action worthy of an experience award really means something to the PC(s) receiving the award. No matter what level he is on.
