So I was thinking that perhaps DND should follow the model set about by the World of darkness. In many ways WoD is already a modular system that modifies and adds onto a core system, plus it allows for each modular component to work with each other. So perhaps we could see: Core Rule book -...

I'm personally intrigued that Fantasy Flight seems to be trying to return to a boxed format for Warhammer. Given the fact I was never around during second edition I'm unfamiliar as to how popular this format is. Is this a plus for the system? Is it something that I should view as a negative? Is...

I've been thinking about how Aliens in Scifi end up in recognizable groups and I was wondering if there was anyway around this. When you get down to it I think aliens fit in the following categories: Angelic Denomic "Greys" Humans with Odd Head Features Animal People Insectoids Fish/Octopus...

Since I'm one of the few that have the book I have put together a sample character creation for Eclipse Phase for those who are interested. 1. Select a character concept: The first step obviously is too create a character concept. I decided to do something recognizable; Indian Jones in space...

So I managed to be one of the lucky few at Gencon to pick up the Eclipse Phase book. Here is my short review of the game, but please note I have not yet had time to fully read the book and this mostly consists of skimming. I've also done a Character Creation Thread here...

I'm starting to work on a Mega dungeon that has players starting at the center of the dungeon. I'm curious if anyone has any suggestions how to allow players to move through the dungeon in a free form way without creating a linear progression. Also I'm curious as to how to warn them off areas...

Just today I found out the good news about the next RPG from the Shadowrun people coming out, Eclipse Phase, has headed to the printers. Homepage | Eclipse Phase Here is a brief idea of the world: "We humans have a special way of pulling ourselves up and kicking ourselves down at the same...

When our new campaign started I had no idea what kind of character I wanted to make and at the end of the day the leader role seems to be left vacant. So I'm trying to figure out what leader would best fit into the following party: Party Member 1: Fire Wizard. Party Member 2: Melee Ranger...

After having read various threads on railroading, and speaking with a fellow DM on his previous party I have come across what I believe to be a new idea that I call Station Squating. Station Squatting is the act of a player or group of players to ignore plot threads and instead focus their time...

I'm kind of concerned that there will be only 3 classes from old material in the second PHB, as noted by the Gamer Zero episode 37. I can understand a number of new classes, but shouldn't there be a large amount of space for more than just 3 old classes?

I'm not sure based on what I can find, but what kind of material can we release when 4th edition launches? By this I mean for free. I'm pretty sure that it would be allowed by the new license, but since its not out I' thought I'd ask the crazy people here.
