Wow - this post is almost 5 years old. Thanks for the shout out!

As with any system, not everyone will like it; especially those that prefer rules-light RPGs. For me, I can't see myself running any other system now. I was ready to give up RPGs until HackMaster Basic was released back in 2009. It renewed my love for gaming, and I felt like I was 10 years old...

I'm still looking for one more player.

The new HM is my game of choice. I've been running it for about 4 years now with no plans to look back.

Apologies, I forgot to add the location to the thread title. Could a mod add [Sandoval, IL] to the title?

I'm looking to start a new RPG group to meet one Saturday / month for a 6-8 hour session of the new HackMaster system. I am in Sandoval, IL 62882 and will provide a place to meet & play. If you're interested, email me at George.Fields (AT) gmx (DOT) com

We all do. :p I'll have to share my experience later this week when time allows. :)

I've got the same issues. I am excited about the old books being available again. Personally, I'm hoping for pdf as I don't have any kind of e-reader or tablet.

Awesome! I'll check it out.

A friend of mine actually said he preferred HackMaster be a joke game and not a real RPG. He's missing out.

The globe is something I'd thought about in the past. When my son was 3 or 4 years old, I bought him a large plastic ball that had the earth painted on it; and I wondered if an RPG company would consider doing that. The quality wasn't the best, but they could be relatively inexpensive if there...

3d6 in order is the method the new HackMaster uses. You can switch them around if you like; but if you leave them in the order rolled, you get 50 bonus building points. Also, can can swap two of the scores around and receive 25 bonus points. A 'shopkeeper' rule exists for really bad stats. If...
