Ugh. Why does he always do that slo-mo of pieces falling? It's always waaaaay too long. Not a deal breaker on these videos, but a pet peeve of mine.

Just for those new to the biz, 5 cents a word is considered professional rate for short story fiction. For RPGs (and short story magazines) the turn around time to get paid is usually in the months long time frame. Freelance for advertising and marketing copy is actually a "day rate" where you...

I was about to whine, old geezer style, that this list had forgotten the supers RPGs of old. ... And then I googled GCore Prime.

It seems like the writer just took down notes of the random questions his playtest group asked. "So yes, these fellows, are they tarrying?" "Nope." *Writes down note*

"There has been discussion about the overall "brand" strategy for D&D, which Perkins commented on. He mentioned that "...people at Hasbro that never cared about D&D before, care about it now; Hollywood is fighting over it" I guess old Hollywood never took the bait when the agents said D&D was...

NPC don't need XP, so just use the Milestone system. Like the header says, I get the impression that this is an option, you can build them the old fashioned way if you want.

Good stuff and highly ironic that it gets a d20 port as well. The other two game lines, Trinity and Aberrant, hardly regisitered on the radar. :( But Adventure! became a cult favorite for its modifications on the Storyteller system. So while the other two games might get a second life under...

I can't and won't argue with that. :) When it came to the feats and skills thing, though, the impression I had gotten (right or wrong) was that his version of psionics was more low key than I wanted. Not that I want "comic book" powers all the time, but I was basically looking for something...

Occasionaly, check out www.peginc.com Their new game Savage Worlds is very pulp orientaited and two of the free demo adventures are very pulpish (The Eye of Kilquato! and Shades of Terror.) They also have a $5 pdf adventure, "On the Rocks" set in an alternate 1920s...

Buy the Shadowforce Archer book? And then after that the Hand of Glory (http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/reviews/index.php?sub=yes&where=active&reviewer=Psion&product=THOG) book? The S.A. book introduces three optional paranatural things to the game. All three are used in the SpyCraft campaign...

Mix and match at your own discretion. In general, the d20 set up is in no way a promise that other publishers will make their stuff compatable, though most of it is close. On that note, there are some offical D&D licenced products, WarCraft and Kingdoms of Kalimar go through a process to...

According to Guardians of Order, as long as you use a d20 and add modifers to be a DC, you've got a "d20 system" and they have had no problems with being complient. Green Ronin, however, played it safe and made their product OGL (it was also because a lot of people complained about the...

Actually it is such a cool idea that TWO games buried it under their franchise and integrally linked to other game mechanics so as make it that you had to take wholesale. Star Wars had it linked to Vitality Points, which is just a bookkeeping method for subdual damage. However, I wanted more...

Yeah, this is going on my list too. And I am banging my head on my desk :D I did something like this years ago with the d20 Star Wars Force rules. I think I'll go with Green Ronin version.

Oddly enough, that is similar to some of the responses to WarCraft, also done by WW. Even down to the "I realize there will be more down the road, but I was hoping for more in the core book." Perhaps WW needs to even out it's pacing a little. More in the core, thinner on the suppliments?

Thanks for the info ... though how do the different FX work?

And I should tell you that two are blessed. :) To give a better idea, of my experiences... In college, when we played mostly Mage, it was all about deep questions and storytelling. But when I left for the "real world" it was a completely different expereince. First job was in the middle of...

The short explaination culled from a mailing list I belonged to ... "As for voting for three different games I'd like the group to play, I'd nominate d20 Rokugon, Forgetten Realms and Scarred lands." Funny how this player showed up to the game with the entire FR 3.0 library in his car. Or for...

As a side note, between all the the AC vs "Just"C comments plus all the WW vs. Sony comments I have read in the last two weeks I have pretty much formed the conclusion that a lot of gamers are wasting their enthusiasm in their current jobs and should go to night school to become IP lawyers...
