    Palladium and other fantasy RPGs...

    I'll just drop in here and say that I'm the exact opposite of most people here it seems. The rules are the best part of the game. They're super simple, fast as hell, though perhaps a bit unbalanced. But I've had lots of fun with it. Now Palladium FRPG is the game I've played the most of all...

    What is Gear Krieg Like? and is it Pulpy enough?

    Though I own the GK rulebook and have read it, I've never played it. But I have extensive experience with Heavy Gear, DP9's primary system, and it uses the same mechanics (the Silhuette System) which is really really good. And the quality of all DP9's books are always over the top good. I...

    Music and gaming, setting the mood

    I use music mostly every time I run a game (It's been many years ince I last ran D&D, so this mostly refers to Cyberpunk and Heavy Gear). I found that creating playlists ahead of time for specific parts of the scenario really does the trick. (Killing in the Name by Rage Against the Machine, The...

    E-Tools: Should I or Shouldn't I?

    Take it back. There might be *other* ways of getting it... hint hint, nudge, nudge. And its not THAT bad...

    The Hobbit: Theatrical Release or TV Mini-Series?

    I would definetly prefer PJ to direct it into a 3 - 3½ hour cinema spectacular. Otherwise it will feel strange that it's supposed to fit in with LoTR, but doesn't. Sort of like how the new Star Wars movies don't fit in with the old ones at ALL. And after that... Silmarillion :)

    Playmat with squares

    Where do you guys get playmats to use with miniatures? I was thinking that one could make one up and have it printed out at a printshop. Perhaps someone has already made one?...

    Gamers keeping Shabbat

    I'm 100% atheist. So forgive my ignorance, but it seems a bit strange to me that you want to have the D20 logo on your kippah's... I mean is it normal for jews to wear 'custom-built' kippah's? And let me just say that very few places on the net could you find this kind of thread. Kick ass :D

    Campaign Starts tonight - PROBLEMS!

    Re: Re: Campaign Starts tonight - PROBLEMS! LOL. "NO, we're not buying anything!!" What the hell is a caller anyway? (Forgive my ignorance)

    Bards - Why do so few people play them?

    That's exactly the problem for me. When I think Bard I think singing and dancing fearie who'll get little or no respect and attention in a serious environment. However, if one were to look at the Bard as a more of a poet/writer (and perhaps with a darker synical side to him), that would help a...

    Calling all Europeans...

    And he's not even overdoing it :) Ode to my country of home. Yonder there beyond the sea... blar blar blar. I'm currently living in Dundee Scotland (somewhere between Edinburgh and Aberdeen), and should you be even remotely interested in Denmark, then I can only suggest that you have a look at...

    Do you find Alignments useful in your games???

    Coming from a background of mostly CP2020, Heavy Gear and Palladium, alignments always seemed totally strange to me. I'm considering whether or not to use alignments in a campaign I'm working on at the moment though...

    I have just run my best session in years...

    Funny how that is. The best game I've ever run, with 7 players(!!) a couple of years ago was Dark Conspiracy. I hadn't prepared anything, but the mood was just SO dark and scary and I have NO idea where it came from. Everything just clicked and people were seriously freaked out by it. No music...

    Help- my players stay out- I need to PC-proof this complex...

    Or simply throw it out of your games.

    How to improve at DMing?

    Not much to add really, but I'd like to emphasize the 'try to find what you excel at'-part. I for instance have a tendency (and has had ever since I was wee, much to both my parents and teacher's dismay) to be loud and dramatic, waving my arms around, playing 2-3-4 characters at a time. Being...
