Yes. YB! (and the later incarnation YBA!) were a lot of fun. I wrote the original javascript to generate the weather (later becoming the initial location), the insults, and the moves. When the second generation of the game was being worked on, I took the generator too far... almost killed the...

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/159628170/the-arcanum-30th-anniversary-edition This is a classic from the 1980s. This is not a retro-clone... this is the rebirth of a retro-classic that was, in very many ways, well ahead of its time.

Agreed. Sorry if I was misunderstood. My point was not to be critical of D&D4e (which is a fine system, only not my style of role-play); my intent was to challenge the thesis statement of the OP -- Is this how success is truly measured? Should character creation for a game or campaign be...

Would the idea that you must have each of the roles described to have encounter work properly (what-ever that means) be a tell-tale sign of huge flaw in the game design?

At this time... no. I have a list of things I want to do -- the first two are Arcanum 30th Anniversary and Arcanum 4e. After that, we'll see...

ZiLa Games Facebook Page Created! https://www.facebook.com/pages/ZiLa-Games/183396728460969 This is the Facebook page I have created for handling the Arcanum. ZiLa stands for Zimmerman-Ladage -- Amy Zimmermann is my wife. Future announcements and information will be posted there. Thanks!

30th Anniversary Edition OK... I have a complete high-res scan of the 2nd and 3rd editions of the book. I have some good OCR software which is making pulling the text out of those scans relatively painless. The current plan is to put together a re-organized version of the 2nd/3rd edition text...

God I loved Traveller. Hell, the only RPG I ever played where the char gen was game, in and of itself.

A story I have told before. This is the best I can recall the events... In a Blood Bowl League, my team (The Arborians) was a team of elves. I was playing the Iron Hammer, a team of dwarves. The weather for the game was rolled: Heat Wave. The rules for this weather state that each team needs...

Cyclopedia. Most definitely. I have four copies of that book and wish I had more.

The covers are alright, I suppose. But it seems odd that the 3.5 rules are the next to get the "premium" cover treatment. Seems like an AD&D2/e premium, then a 3.5 would have made more sense.

Ed_Laprade -- I actually do not own a copy of the first edition. Any chance you would be willing to part with your copy? Dannyalcatraz -- thank you so much!

Hello all. My name is K. David Ladage. I have been away for a long time (far too long, to be honest). Back in 2000-2005, I was the primary author, co-founder, and promoter for Jagged Edge Games. JEG was a hobby-project company and the primary line of materials revolved around the UMBRAGIA...

Well... It has been over a week since anyone posted on this board. None have said anything about the last comments on the rules I proposed. And, well, I have enough on my plate. Good-bye.

Pitty.

Understood. And please understand that I was not suggesting that you sacrifice your school work to complete something as trivial as YB!. My point being just as valid, however, that if it is indeed you that holds teh reigns to this little game, and it is indded true that your schedule will be/is...

How much desire exists to revitalize the YB game? I know that I want to do it... and there appears to be about three people (maybe...) that post here on a (semi-) regular basis. But if a game is to be developed, especially by a team of people, then honest timelines, deadlines, and schedules for...

The more I think about this, the more I am convinced that the "open, build-your-own-path" structure is the way to go. Especially with the "at Tier X, gain X character points" structure so that the initial couple of tiers are only granting you 1 or 2 powers each... with either several powers or...

I was thinking that the battle frame would be like a character sheet. The moves themselves, flavor text for those moves, and other "in game" activities could take place outside of the frame. Leave the "character status" stuff in the frame, play the game outside of it... Just a thought. (I am...
