I was forced to use the Ignore button on him. I really was... tried rolling my Will save and rolled a 1. Just...couldn't...resist...the...Ignore...button. To AncientSpirits... you're game is awesome.

I really had to respond to this. On the surface FC 'might' look like another version of D&D it is far, far different from it and is really its own beast, much like how Radiance is its own unique beast. FC has a radically different underlying paradigm to it... the big one is that it doesn't have...

They need a DEMO. Something to show and share how this actually works. Spending 1.2 Million dollars with no Demo, with nothing to really show seems off and I feel that a lot of that 1.2 Million was actual cost and programming they probably spent while they were working on it for D&D 5e and when...

These ideas here for how to handle xp is why I really love the Apocalypse World Engine games and the Cortex Plus games because how they handle the XP part of character advancement is pretty different than more traditional games. Smallville especially changes this up because the only way to...

If you don't mind me making this suggestion but you should write down your game and organize it. Write down the steps to making a character, and when you have the document's rough draft finished than show it to your players and let them go at it. Most likely they will still do the same thing...

I still say figure out why she plays these games and have her figure out what her fun is. As for using terms like 'role playing style' or 'combat style' those don't really exist as far as the 8 Kinds of Fun because deep down we all like role playing and combat and exploration and discovering...

I wish I could see this system you are working on. It'd really help in giving you more advice on how to approach it for the goals you want. Understand that min/maxing isn't really a problem in and of itself and in my own perspective on gaming it's not something that truly exists but it's the...

Well... it's nearly impossible to truly get rid of the possibility of min/maxing in any game system because it's simply the nature of us as people and gamers to want to make characters that are really good at something, and if a game allows us to manipulate it in some way than a lot of players...

I have to agree with this about HERO System. The majority of the complexity, much similar to Mutants and Masterminds, is character creation. Which is probably what we could say about almost all super hero rpgs ever made. My suggestions for this are these more obscure super rpgs that are quite...

Why does she play? What's her fun? If you can answer these two questions than you can better manage the game as a whole. There is a Youtube video of a guy who talks about the 8 kinds of player fun on his GM Academy youtube channel and the title of the video is... hold on *goes to youtube*...

Can this hardcover still be bought?

Has anybody converted, or used, Anima: Beyond Fantasy and it's World of Gaia into other games systems to play the game, and if so what systems did you use and how'd Gaia work with those systems? I'm just wondering because I just got the last 4 Anima: BF books from FFG's generous holiday sale and...

What about the Skills & Powers stuff for AD&D 2e? Did that add anything to the class bloat of 2e?

It's nice to see you guys going forward with this project and I personally hope it succeeds. It's never a bad thing to get another character generator/campaign management tool out for us customers and gamers to choose from. Sure starting with Pathfinder isn't the most glamorous choice but I...

I will totally disagree with this. They could have put in a whole bunch more into this PHB that they already gave us and they chose to not do so specifically so they could do further PHB books. The way they wrote this PHB, the number of 'options' they gave us, is pretty identical to their...

It's a good book. A solid 4 out of 5 stars, but it's not a 5 star book. It does exactly what it sets out to do, but I've seen much better books of similar styles written by other people for other game systems that does a much better job in describing what it means to manage and be a Game Master...

I was hoping for cybernetics. ;) :) Why not just make magic wands usable by everybody?

Best take on D&D of all time. :D I love any game that uses the Apocalypse World Engine and Dungeon World is one of the best out there. It's one of the first game engines that actually gives GMs rules to follow to run the game and I love it. :) It's a clean game system, without any real...

What makes the D&D experience different than any other form of entertainment?

Talk about making it tough. My top ten list probably changes monthly depending on what inspires me. 1. Smallville RPG (Cortex Plus Drama) 2. Monster of the Week 3. FFG Star Wars - Edge of the Empire 4. Apocalypse World 5. Firefly RPG 6. Demon: the Descent 7. Legend of the Five Rings 4th Edition...
