Note here for anyone skimming this thread -- it's definitely worth a close read. The Shadow's stuff is really worth it! FYI Shadow I decided to follow this over on the Atomic Think Tank instead of here, but I am reading it!

As expected, great stuff here. I still have a lot of reading to catch up on the actual story hour, but I look forward to it. Now the hard decision: follow things here or over on the Atomic Think Tank? Hmmmmm.......

I've owned a Kindle 1 and Kindle 2, and would definitely love to read my gaming PDFs (all legal!) on my eBook reader. As far as the Kindle DX goes, I think you've got to consider 2 issues (beyond the price, of course): 1. It's bigger than a Kindle 2. The Kindle 2 is amazingly portable, and can...

Not that this'll stop WotC. After all, they released Forgotten Realms 4e without Druids. There are entire regions of the FR map that druids are integral to.

Picked mine up from my FLGS, who also had a midnight sale. Now if I only had time to read them today...

Dude, not only can you keep your card, the Secret Society of Nerds has decided to give you a promotion. You whipped a 4e adventure out at a wedding?!? You're my hero!

I've seen this opinion expressed a couple of times on this thread, and I'd like to state that in the game I'm in it doesn't necessarily play that way. In the 3.5 game I'm a member of we have a marshal, but the party's "leader" is actually a bard (and an odd sword-and-board oriented bard at...

Hey, I've seen that pilot! It was great!

Update on the Google front -- the one cached copy that was brought to my attention has been deleted. If there are any others any of you are aware of, please see my instructions in an earlier post in this thread for reporting it.

If you're concerned about that, I refer you to Google's privacy policy here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/privacy.html If you still have concerns, Piratecat is correct -- running a search for part of your credit card should do the trick. Other people have also noted that searching on their...

OK, it's outing myself on a forum where I hadn't planned to, but I'm one of the Google employees on the other end of those contact forms, and I have regular access to the team that takes care of this sort of stuff. First off, please DO NOT republish a link to any Google search results on this...

It just so happens this very same topic just came up at The Atomic Think Tank, which is the official boards for Mutants & Masterminds. You can find a list of 1st vs. 2nd ed. products, as well as discussion around that topic, at this thread.

Well your game already sounds very Silver Age and definitely already plugs into Freedom City, so Freedom City 2nd ed. is starting to look like a no-brainer for you. The book has thousands of story ideas liberally sprinkled into it, a lot of which have the same flavor as what you're proposing...

While I agree that UP is a great crunch book, do keep in mind that FC is often considered one of the best setting books ever written -- there are plenty of reviews of FC out there to back up that assertion. So I think it all comes down to what you want: * If you want more crunch, buy Ultimate...

Yes, that's an important aspect of both HG and JC -- the settings are brilliant, richly detailed, and extrahard SF, but don't require the mecha. If you rip the mecha out of both settings, they still hold together perfectly.

No, Delta Green doesn't maintain any bases. DG is a lot more like a resistance movement or a terrorist network -- individual members almost never meet other members outside their cell (which is three people per cell). They're a very small, highly decentralized conspiracy; a home base would be...

Wow, great find! The bay is even called "Great Bay" in real life. I've ganked your player's find to start a thread over on the Atomic Think Tank (the official M&M forums). This question comes up all the time over there. You can find the thread here. And here's a link to a Google Map that...

Core Command was a beautiful idea that, unfortunately, didn't work out. The idea was simple: a big, huge, multi-galaxy scifi setting with super-duper-high-tech (battleships that were 20 km long, computers as big as a planet, etc). Sadly, Dream Pod 9 (Core Command's publishers, makers of the...

PC, if you love WFRP2, did you happen to notice who edited most of the books? Here's a hint: he played in the game you ran the last time you visited California. ;)

Ahhhh, JC. I have a soft spot in my heart for that game. Maybe someday I'll even get to play. I think for hard SF settings, Dream Pod 9 does it best. Both Heavy Gear and Jovian Chronicles are outstandingly detailed settings. Although both feature mecha, neither setting suffers one jot if you...
