I'm not very impressed with what I've seen so far, but it seems to be very much in flux to me. I'm sticking with PF for the foreseeable future; but anything is possible. -Q.

12, though a swashbuckler with a halberd would be a sight. -Q.

Quite a bit, but not devastating. I paint minis to supplement my plastic collection, I'll just being doing more of that to cover any holes. -Q.

My fav was a cookie jar. Who got the cookie from the cookie jar? Stumpy of course! -Q.

So by "supers RPGs of ages past" you mean Marvel Superheros? -Q.

The only absolute I keep in mind regarding RPGs is that they are all shared experiences. -Q.

When I was playing AD&D we treated some rules as set in stone and others as amusing suggestions. For some reason we stuck solidly to the level limits. -Q.

You could set some kind of limit based level, say a character can't have more levels of spell effects from potions than his level with a minimum of one potion active at a time or some variation. -Q.

To me the concept is broader than presented, a "sage" might be a cloistered scholar of some sort, but he could also be the gossiping barkeep, the grizzled veteran with too many stories or the local kook who's rantings strike a chord with the players. I think it's just a chance for a good role...

It feels too much like censorship for my tastes, so my list is empty. Besides, I have a built in ignore feature that works pretty well (as long as people don't change avatars frequently). -Q.

Not really. If the game was "Lifting and Pressing: A realistic RPG of pumping iron" it might be relevant, but in the context of D&D it's just a curious little aside like Batman being able to toss a hamburger ten miles in the 2nd edition DC RPG or a newborn baby being able to toss a football 25...

A lovable NPC who follows the group around to give them a little kick in the pants or mess up the perfect plan or get captured, kidnapped, cursed etc. It's always a good hook for sidetracks. Of course they have to have some affection for the NPC or they might just leave it to rot :lol: -Q.

Excellent selections, I'd throw this in from the Final Fantasy XIII soundtrack Dust to Dust by Matsue Hamauzu & Masashi Hamauzu, very sad, mournful music. -Q. YouTube - ~Xx FINAL FANTASY XIII SOUNDTRACK: [ Dust to Dust (Oerba) ] :xX~

Aware of his own mortality and not too pleased with the idea of a mausoleum, he wants to build a society of clock work replicas to preserve his empire "at it's height", including a mechanical version of himself. -Q.

Since most people have some basic concept of what's illegal, it's usually better to decide how the local law differs from the norm. Perhaps more specifically, what laws are likely to have some effect on the players. I ran an entire adventure once around a player being mistaken for a member of...

Erdus the Oathkeeper: A warrior of a great and ancient order, Erdus fell in battle and was captured by the cruel Baenations and taken in chains to their city on the high plains to fight in the arena for their amusement. To earn the freedom of a few of his countrymen, Erdus swore an oath to obey...

Gamma world was the second RPG I was introduced to and "Legion of Gold" was the first TSR module I ran. I think this might surpass Dark Sun on my wish list. :D -Q.

Not like it's dead, old RPGs don't really die until people stop playing them. As for myself I really don't care if anyone else ever gets the license, SWSE will always be the Star Wars rpg to me. -Q.

These systems are either too open or too cumbersome from my own experience, if the players don't have a good understanding of the boundaries it's just disastrous. -Q.
