    Hey Folks, Does anyone know if there is another site out there that has copies of Ema's static 3.5 character sheets? JoS.

    Ema's RPG Sheet Website down...

    OK, There's a lot of chatter with out a lot of facts. So here are some facts: - Ema is short for Emanuele. Ema's a guy - The Character Manager had a one-time payment for lifetime access. - This payment was to help Ema cover the extra expense of the increased server cost. - Ema was most...

    Bite me fanboy, This situation struck an emotional chord and I should be allowed to express that emotion with out smug half-witted sarcasm. JoS.

    Ema's RPG Sheet Website down...

    You know, I was livid when they killed Dungeon and Dragon. But this just elevates me to a level of disgust that I just can't verbalize on this site with out breaking the rules. I can say I'm officially done with EVER purchasing anything from these sanctimonious pricks. JoS - D&D is dead to me.

    Anima: Beyond Fantasy "RPG"

    Well, I found it very mechanically ackward. When I read through it I had the feeling that the designers had a mechanic they really liked but when it wouldn't work they started bolting things onto it. Then bolting things on to the things they had bolted on. It's a very pretty book to look at but...

    What Systems Exist These Days?

    Also, Battlelords of the 23rd Century - | SSDC, Inc. | Science-fiction role-playing game company - Producer of "Battlelords of the Twenty-Third Century" | Games That Unleash Your Imagination As one of its (few) fanboys I have to add it to the list 'cause it's a hoot to play. JoS.

    GEN CON being sold?

    Hmm, I'm curious to see who is actually behind the purchase. I could easily see it being the City of Indianapolis given the amount of tourist dollars the Con brings into their city every year. But given the location of the lawyer involved that doesn't seem likely. Definitely bears watching. JoS.

    Definitive Character Sheet

    Hands Down, The sheets at Ema's Sheets. I don't have the actual web address handy as I'm not at home. But if you Google Ema's Sheets it'll come up at the top. If you pay for the character manager (a one time payment for lifetime usage) you also get a form fillable sheet that stores online and...

    Actual celtic / new age music not sound tracks.

    Hey, I'd highly recommend anything from Loreena McKennitt. Be aware though that she tends to mix celtic with a lot of middle eastern influences. I'd also suggest Blackmore's Night. A little less authentic but some great tunes. JoS.

    Space RPGs?

    "He's dead, Jim." "Right. You take his tricorder. I'll take his phaser." Classic. JoS.

    Space RPGs?

    OK, Some folks have mentioned the new Traveller from Mongoose, Fading Suns, and Transhuman Space which I think are all excellent but I'll add two more: Battlelords of the 23rd Century - This game is a blast. If your players like traveling to exotic, alien worlds and blowing stuff up, this is...

    D&D 4E Greyhawk 4e: Back to the Beginning...

    Valid points Henry, But you have to consider that a significant number of their customers continue to ask them when they'll see a new Greyhawk. I'd be surprised if they get through a Con with out being repeatedly asked about it. They're a victim of their own success really because of Living...
