I really hate making magic items like I dislike making spell list. I simply cut and pasted S&W's magic items until I modified that one or the D20 system.
I decided that I am not making it a roll, only a choice.
The list is evergreen like the rest of the game.
It's going to be alot of Game Master Fiat. If fact almost everything about being a Game Master in Back to the Dungeon RPG will be very loose rules tempered by GM fiat. Ah yes such freedom!

BttDRPG Psionic Update.
I decided I really dislike the complication of D20 Psionics so I decided to chop down the d20 Psionic Powers to a more simple old school format. It is very rough draft but yeah it looks pretty good and very usable if I do say so myself. If some of these look too powerful well they might be. As a game with and Old School heart game balance is barely a factor AND the player has to get high enough level to really become a badass. At the bottom of this post will be the link to them most recent BTTDRPG.

Introducing The Warlock of Back to the Dungeon RPG
So here is my Warlock. Not quite a totally D20 cut and paste. Perhaps a bit too powerful? Lack of game balance? I never saw game balance as a problem I always saw players making dumb decisions trying to fight enemies head on with no strategy as the problem.
Warlock
One who has made a pact with dark forces for great power. With this pact they are allowed great power with very little variety but they can use their magic unlimited times per day.
Armor: Ring mail or less.
Weapons: Warlocks prefer any simple type weapons such as short swords, rapiers, spears, staves and daggers. Not that it matters as Warlocks are sorry fighters.
Hit Points: 6 +1d6 a level
To Hit:-1
Natural 20: On a natural 20 the Warlock may gain half the damage done to his own hit points.
A warlock can use his Dexterity to dodge and flip with acrobatic precision as long as he does not have any Armor past +3. He use his Constitution to resist having his Invocations messed up.
Eldrich Blast based on Charisma. Range is Charisma + Level.
Damage is 1d8 from 1st to 4th level, 1d10 from levels 5th to 8th, 1d12 from 9th to 10th, And finally 1d20 from on up.

Tentacles and Thorns in Charisma in feet. All take 1d12 in the tentacles and thorns.

Human Warlock Teh Darada
Teh Darda was a weak sniveling yet very good looking young man. He always used his charms and good looks to worm his way into the noble circles where he knew they were practicing magics of great power. He unfortunately found what he was looking for as the nobility were Warlocks and has made a pact with a 30,000 year old demon named Kythiusis. He now has all the power but must forfeit his soul when he dies to the demon.

What a strange place I am in my RPG life.
SO I am in this strange place in my RPG life. For years I have started and not completed so many RPG projects for no reason other than to just write them. I would say most games get about 60% or so before I burn out.
I go back to them here and there but always am reminded by self doubt or wrong direction why I burnt out AND GET REBURNT OUT.
Strange though that I am about 99% finished on many of my games and have even completed a few in the last few years. If you get a chance take a look at Horror World my Zombie Apocalypse game. I am 99% finished with Back to the Dungeon. I also am 99% finished with STARCLADS Sci Fi RPG. Done with NOVEL Hero's Mag a nearly freeform Supers RPG.
Back to the Dungeon RPG will get worked on for another few years but it is getting really close to a 1.0
All of these playtest versions are free and one day I may sell them but there really is very little to NO money to be made in the RPG business at least in this current business model. I have really innovative business models that I won't share here but I have elsewhere.
I am in such a gaming void as my gaming group broke up once again but that is OLD news.
Alas yet another boring and short post but I hope thought provoking.
Vote for NEITHER!

BttDRPG: Immortals
I am thinking about making a list of Immortals to help get players started if they are a cleric with a good selection of spells and such.
I am going to also have the game somewhat set in an undefined world much in the style of the early days of gaming.

BttDRPG
Well still progressing on the game. I have added a few extra races such as Assimar, Teiflings, and Drow.
I may add a few more Humanoid races as well.
I also added a Bounty Hunter Class and am working on a Psion and Warlock. I am thing about a Thug which is a cross between a fighter and Thief.
Possibly an Archer and Swashbuckler. I always liked options but never complicated rules.
Still no skills or feats list and it's gonna stay that way!
Right now it's a huge 79 pages.

Kinda GLAD LucasArts sold to Disney! Because when it comes to many of their PC games Lucas Arts SUCKS!
Well after trying to play KOTOR II on my computer and it not working despite patching etc. and remembering how Empire at War would not work and how you had to do a computer monkey (set affinity!)dance to get Star Wars Battlefield II to work but it never worked online AND the complete f you that Lucas Arts would do to their customers who bought a game and just wanted it to work and were treated largely IGNORED!
Not to mention some of the complete TURDS like Battle for Naboo and to a certain extent Pod Racing but the demo was good.
It's really good that Lucas Arts has been sold. JUST maybe Disney will give a damn about their gamers. Now they make great games it's just if they don't become a mega hit or have problems they drop the game and the customers.
I hope that whomever was in charge of PC games customer service gets fired. I would love to know why they treated their customers so badly. In a business full of fans that have made you what you are you should never treat people that way.
