I enjoyed the D6 system because it was pretty quick and easy to get going. I was also a fan of the miniatures game and liked the compatibility between them. My favorite so far is the FFG system. I know the dice are funky and they were very off-putting when I first looked at it but once I gave...

China is a Berne signatory and has IP laws on the books but enforcement does not come close to matching the rampant infringement that takes place.

I don't know what the legality of it is but I'm not referring to searching piratebay for torrents. Mod Edit: Link removed has all the old WEG stuff on their site. Mod Edit: Link removed has a lot of fan-made d6 stuff. Mod Note: EN World does not support copyright violation. If you don't...

Well you can get all the d6 SW material for free, so long as you don't mind using pdfs instead of hard copies.

I like the FFG rules the best but you can't beat the sheer amount of setting information found in the WEG books. Check out this site that appears to have a whole bunch of copyright infringing pdfs on it so that a mod had to remove the link to it... Mod Edit: Link removed. Sorry. ~Umbran

It sounds quite a bit like the computer game of the same name, which really makes me want to buy it. That was a pretty good game. I just wish they had merged the best of that game and Empire at War together.

If you look on the FFG site forums, not only have people used it for other SW time periods (which is basically just a change in the campaign, no special rules required), they've used it for radically different settings like Call of Cthulhu and Conan.

Masterplan 8.5 and earlier had a compendium import feature, though it was only for monsters. A lot of the older libraries are still floating around but they'd have to be imported with the old version before you can use them with the newer version. Once upon a time there was also a scraped...

Like any system it starts off kind of slow but it picks up as you get more familiar with it. For me it was like when we first started learning D&D, it took a bit of thinking at each roll (this was in the days of THAC0) to figure out if it was a hit or not, and having a +3 sword subtract 3 from...

In my experience it does. The hardest part for our group was that everyone was initially hesitant to try to influence the narrative the way the game intends, probably due to years and years of playing D&D. As the GM I've had to throw in suggestions for players when they don't know what to do...

I think that wheel was just an interactive way (not saying it was the best way) to illustrate something that can easily be done in a tabletop game, which is making all social skills possible but with different chances of success. In a tabletop game, this would just be handled by having different...

You can't really compare movie or book plotlines to RPGs. You can draw inspiration from them but the characters behave however the script says they behave. It's far less entertaining for most players if a single character is the star of the campaign and the rest of the characters are just...

We were at a store once and one of my gaming buddies asked "how much gold does that cost?"

I'm sorry but I have to disagree here. If the situation was reversed and Zimmerman had shot Trayvon simply for following him (since you state that being followed entitles you to self-defense), he would have been wrong and he probably would have been convicted. Following someone isn't initiating...

Accidental firearm deaths are very rare. More people drown each year. I guess you could say it makes it easier to kill someone accidentally, but it's also extremely easy to avoid such accidents.

Well I think we already said that it is quite possibly lower than 2.5 million, but defensive gun uses don't require any shots at all to be fired, and even when they are fired mortality rates indicate that there is a fairly good chance that the person will live, so it's really not surprising to...

A vested interest certainly invites scrutiny, but it doesn't automatically mean the results are wrong. Otherwise I could just as easily dismiss your link from the VPC due to its anti-gun bias. Also, it wasn't an NRA study. I think justifiable homicide numbers are a poor measure of defensive gun...

Yeah, that really turned me off to the whole pro-life movement, even though some of them don't actually take it to that level.

That was a sad incident, and I don't think it's the only one. Unfortunately when you combine panicky people that think open carriers are already on the verge of being mass murderers with racial bias, things tend not to end well.

Kind of sort of but not exactly. On an individual level, it can work. There was a National Crime Victimization Survey where they talked to convicted criminals and many of them stated that they had avoided targeting a specific person because they believed that person to have a gun. Criminals...
