Every awesome, though it looks like today's OOP freebie is actually Werewolf The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Edition: Werewolf 20 is today’s FREE offer!

I've spent that much money on an RPG product before, I just wouldn't for that one. I'm not sure how to explain it, but something about the Kickstarter made it kinda feel to me like the game was designed to inflate the cost of the physical product, rather than the cost evolving naturally from the...

Oh, SW totally has deep pockets when it comes to resources for converitng. It's just that I rarely get the time to actually play anything anymore, and so I'm looking foward to reading the Plot Point Campaigns, which could be slowed down by the approvel process. Luckily I have a ton of reading as...

It's that "mircomanaging" thing that concerns me. Palladium doesnt' have a history of being the most... timely, with their books as it is. Hopefully the approval process won't slow down the SW convertions too much.

Yeah! And Detriot has Robocop!

Awesome! I love the Rifts setting. The rules... eh, not so much. I'm totally be looking forward to this.

We truly live in miraculous times. *grin*

Ah, well. I was hoping you'd seen something that I'd missed, heh.

From what I could tell, the Ultimate licence doesn't include the class and monster packs, just the D&D Basic Rules. (I may have missed it though)

I really like Happy Jack's in theory, but much to my chagrin (and, frankly, surprise) I simply couldn't get past the belching. It's not like they even do it all that often, but for some reason it just totally puts me off. But I agree, assuming you don't have the same silly psychological hang-ups...

I've been digging the Tome Show also. I was more than a little surprised to see it didn't make the list.

I adore metaplot in games, I feel they often add a weight and dynamism that can be missing from static settings, but I rarely have the players get actively involved in the metaplot. Instead, it's normally used as a backdrop or a spring board for our own stories.

The writer(s) of the book have communicated to others an emotional state or atmosphere. They've communicated it to the readers. That being said, in the context of writing I feel like arguing about the definitions of vibe and tone is just playing with semantics.

I'm going just stick my nose in here and say that I respectfully disagree with this. You absolutely can tell the vibe a game just by reading it. Deadlands as a different vibe then Shadowrun, which has a different vibe then D&D 2nd Ed, which in turn as a different vibe then D&D 4th. Playing the...
