It's a skill-based system. You play mice in the Mouse Guard, that's it. Gwendolyn, Kenzie, Lieam, Saxon and Sadie are all statted out.

Please don't be defensive. I'm truly flattered. I think you understand the spirit of Let It Ride: You are correct that it helps control the instances of random determination in the game and that it's in place to cut out monotonous rerolls. But you're misinterpreting the application of the rule...

Malcolm, Tell us again about the bad math behind Let It Ride. I love that one! And unsurprisingly, since we've been round this mulberry bush before, I think your interpretation of Let It Ride is off. The first two paragraphs of page 35 state the rule for Let It Ride: Everything else on page...

The game probably isn't a good fit for your group. But you could easily play The Sword or Gift scenarios with little prep and no future commitment. In fact, I think those are scenarios are fun enough to toss into your group's schedule, even if you're not planning on playing BW. You can find...

This is just isn't true. Ken Hite is not my buddy from college spamming rpg.net with bogus reviews. Also, John's review is obsolete. It's for the pre-Revised edition of BW (aka Classic). Dan Davenport's review is much better.

Actually, i merely said that any system i design will adhere to certain core tenets. I made no comment about a Mouse Guard RPG. The only official Mouse Guard RPG is the one whose rules have been reposted in this thread. (Who did that?) Don't believe the playtesters. They are unreliable. Does...

Table of Contents. Check out the table of contents for the Blossoms Are Falling! We traditionally post a complete chapter as a preview in addition to the Table of Contents. What do you want to see? (Not the monster chapter! That's for paying customers only! ;)) Also, in case you missed it...

Sweet! If you're out at Origins or Gencon, track me down. We'll play! Also, hit the Burning Wheel home page, kids. Refresh your browsers and enjoy. The secret is out! http://www.burningwheel.com YOSH! -L

I was fishing around and I stumbled on this 220 page file on my computer. Let's take a look and see what's in it, shall we? Oh, it's pretty! Check it out: • It's got some kind of burner thing that lets the group create their campaign for the setting. Cool! • It's got two short stories in...

SUMMER SECRET SURPRISE 07 Once again, we're releasing a secret surprise project at GenCon. Preorders begin Monday, June 18th. All preorders will be signed and numbered. Preorderers will get two PDFs with their order -- one of the complete book, plus a little something special. The special...

Yes! Burning Empires has a macro/strategic mechanic that allows the players to defend their world against alien infiltration and usurpation. You'd have to hack in stats for Cylons, but there's a "life-form burner" in the back that gives you guidelines for cooking up new monsters and stuff...

Hi Joe! Hope I'm not thread rezzering... Thanks for asking about the Monster Burner. I just reprinted it and incorporated all the errata. That should bring it completely up to speed with Revised BW. Hope you get a chance to play. -Luke

I stopped giving out cash. It's boring and tedious to keep track of. I even went so far as to design a wealth stat mechanic. -L

I'll be there with John Wick and Clinton R Nixon and Justin Jacobson. We'll be demoing games at our booth and running scheduled games and seminars. Stop by and say hi! -L

Dogs isn't about setting fetishism. There's a good amount of background, and the game is wound tightly around the setting, but there's no "30 pages of setting." Which is good. Because at the core of the game, you become an agent of god's law. You are given the authority to interpret and enforce...
