How about "Seelie" (for nicer faerie folk) and "Unseelie" (for the darker kind)?

So rolling 6 - 1 - 6, or "13" is a good thing? First time that I have seen them consider 13 as good luck. :D I will be interested to see how this game shapes up.

1978 - when I had been playing Chivalry & Sorcery for a year already, very cool to see this game mentioned here. :)

"The Quiet Year" looks like a board game although the players draw their own map based on actions set forth by the game and a deck of 52 cards that correspond to the 52 weeks of the year. The period is set in a time right after a long war and before a major calamity...

With this scale, humans would tend to fall between the scores of 5 to 9. 10 would be the maximum that I would allow for humans anyway. What makes games appealing to many, however, is the opportunity to roll dice. It's that element of chance that brings gamers (and gamblers) to tables. So...

Nice! I will check out the link to the video then. I've been curious about Fantasy Grounds and this sounds like it could be useful. (y)

Thank you for the detailed explanation, Aldarc! :) Rolling five or six dice gives a decent chance of getting at least one six then. And with additional attacks that adds even more chances to hit. I appreciate the help.

It seems to me that success doesn't come by that often if it all hinges on you rolling a six without an offsetting one. In Shadowrun you roll a lot of dice and fives AND sixes contribute to the success of your attempt. In a lot of games, I can get a feel for my chances of a successful roll. I...

I was introduced to role-playing games back in early 1978 when someone showed me Chivalry & Sorcery (by Fantasy Games Unlimited). Wow, now I could design fantasy characters that previously I had only read about! I loved drawing maps – drew a 4’ x 4’ dungeon on some large grid paper and ran my...

I would go with "Fangshi" (方士) that is defined as "Method-master" that the early Chinese used for people they saw as alchemists, astrologers, doctors, mystics and wizards. Wikipedia has more detail. I knew my copy of the RPG Qin - The Warring States would be good for something! :-D

Chivalry & Sorcery way back in the day Champions and later HERO-system where I ran characters in an advanced SWAT police force in Shirow Masamune's "Ghost in the Shell" environment Shadowrun Ars Magica DnD 3.5 edition Pathfinder

I wish that they used the same font for Capt. Picard that they did for Capt. Kirk. I find the narrow font for attributes and disciplines harder to read. =_=

I bought the Starfarer's Companion a couple of days ago and yes, it is a quality product. While it's not as art-heavy as some RPG books, there is a LOT of content. If you are looking for more races, classes, feats and spells for Starfinder, you should check this book out.

Wow, I'm happy to see Fantasy Craft mentioned in the news - it has been a long time. I look forward to seeing what DragonWing Games will add. If they can get Ben McSweeny to provide some artwork, it will be a must-buy for me. :)

I agree that BESM third edition is well worth checking out. Mark C. MacKinnon and David Pulver created the Tri-Stat system used in this book which is well suited to portray the varied abilities and powers found in anime. The artwork by Niko Geyer is excellent and I don't think the other...
