ARGHHH! Who put this HIVE here?!

[Relique du Madde]

I am considering running a M&M oneshot or so with my group, but I haven't made any final plans yet

I really enjoy D&D 4, but I don't want to "limit" myself to one game and one genre. Mutants & Masterminds looks like a nice change of pace...

The three things you have to know about M&M are: 1) It is possible to one shot people in M&M. 2) "Debuffers" tend to suck when put up against min/maxers. 3) Combats can go long if people roll well.

Limiting yourself makes life bland. And not only in roleplaying, but in most things really.

Challenge to the hive, do one thing this month you normally wouldn't do

Long live diversity.

You have a girlfriend thus you should already get to do that. I on the other hand have been trying with little success. I think I'll need to find something else I don't do.

Maybe I'll start kicking old people and biting children.

Sounds like a plan.

Not a good one, and I am not sure that's what Phaezen imagined would happen, but hey, nothing is perfect.

For a totally different topic: I also like the Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles soundtrack. Bear McCreary rocks.

Compared to other Flame Wars, ENWorld's are pretty tame, not too mention spelled correctly.

spelt correctly

SSssoooo... who won? The rat or the cat?

Ahh this gets answered below somewhere by rat

For me, I've become an M&M player. I love the freedom that M&M gives. I love how it streamlines the D20 system and adds the point based gaming onto it successfully (as much as I loved GoO, BESM d20 and SaS d20 sucked).

I personally wish that True20 was loved by more people since True20 would be a nice substitute for standard d20, but alas, True20 is not even a blip on
EnWorld. Thankfully, GR created enough material for M&M that I think it now could easily be used to do anything that True20 and DnD was able to do (save for Monty Haul adventuring).

I'm happy enough to believe any system can be adjusted to fit any setting

Me either, as long as it is 3.5.

Agreed!

3.5 4e whatever as long as I'm roleplaying with friends (although 4th Edition has really clicked over the last few weeks playing, we're doing all the roleplayey stuff we've done in the past together with memorable fights, which don't seem like a slugfest anymore)

Count me as someone who is also tired of edition war threads and snide comments and what not.

What has really been annoying me the past few days is people sniping with edition war comments in response to Dave Arneson Memorial Threads and Blogs.

As a side note, I play & DM4e, I play 3.5, I play C&C, I will play Pathfinder, I am running a Red Box game this afternoon. I also play & run CoC, Shadowrun, WoD, nWoD, any other system that looks interesting.

So, now that that is over, how is everyone doing this Easter weekend?

yupyup

I'm feeling even better today after another nights sleep!!

The only bugger I find about M&M is the character creation

The cat won most of the time...

But the rat got in a few good victories.

Ah yeah there it was

Hmm challenge Hive thats a good plan so 10th of May I've got to have tried something new, I could try looking for a job while I've already got one or I cold start running again or go to the theatre hmm I'll have to think on that one, or even preplan a few adventures to run a campaign (I normally wing it)

 

[Tinker Gnome]

Galeros and Goldmoon, if I cn get you both here in Georgia I'll make sure you have a game. I know enough gamers that it shouldn't be too hard.

Awwwww.
