Apologies for the shameless self-promotion. But I think this is a tool some of you will be able to put to good use. It's been a while since I've been around these parts, but over the last year I've been working on a thing that some of you may be interested in. It started as a fancy “oracle” for...

I'm pretty sure Nova Praxis hits all your criteria.

At the risk of sounding like a dirty shill, I feel I should mention that Strands of Fate is on sale for $1 until the end of the year. So if you are interested in FATE at all, I think it'd be worth your buck to check it out.

If you like FATE at all, you might also consider Strands of Fate. It supports super heroes and I've heard of folks using it to run Exalted and Scion. Aberrant wouldn't be too much of a stretch from there.

I don't know if you are familiar with the ENnie award winning FATE system, but Strands of Fate retools the FATE system into a universal toolkit that provides you with everything you need to play anything from Tolkein-style fantasy to Cthulhu-style horror to transhuman sci-fi to anything in...

Which is exactly why I said "I don't think there is any more that needs to be said.". I'm not going to discuss the legal issues here any longer, and admit that I never should have in the first place. It wasn't the proper place and I shouldn't have been so open about the matter. In fact, it'd...

I agree completely. The customers really only need to know a few things: BC-Products/Imagineering, Inc is not currently producing Tact-Tiles and will not be in the near future. Great Victory Widgets is selling a similar (but incompatible) product under the name "Tact-Tiles". Void Star...

Here's the story of Tact-Tiles. Tom and Trace created BC-Products and Tact-Tiles. They sold them for a few years. For various reasons, Trace decided to sell his portion of BC-Products to Tom. Tom ran BC-Products by himself for a while before it collapsed. Around the time I started this...

You may also want to keep and eye on Strands of Fate. We took FATE as found in Spirit of the Century and Starblazer, ripped out the core of the rules, then rebuilt them to work as a generic game system capable of supporting just about any kind of campaign. The goal of the product is to be the...

To clear things up a bit: Tact-Tiles was invented and originally sold by BC-Products. Eventually, BC-Products sold out to Imagineering, Inc. I was a co-owner of Imagineering,Inc; which unfortunately never got off the ground due to a LOT of personal issues myself and the other owners were...

I go away from D&D for a little while and Wizards apparently goes and changes their entire marketing strategy. So what's the scoop on this Essential stuff? Are the two new classes and races books going to have all new stuff, or is the stuff from the 4e PHB in addition to new stuff?

I'm imagining a half-orc with the man-portable minigun seen in Terminator 2 and Predator.

Anyone seen it yet?

Nord's is a pretty good shop, and it's in the Riverchase Galleria Mall. Bottom floor. Near the food court.

Longtooth's Battle Boards are similar to Tact-Tiles, but there are some differences. For one, they are not compatible with the original Tact-Tiles. Also, I believe they are made out of particle board, or something like it. I've yet to actually see one to say for sure and don't really feel...
