Yes. YB! (and the later incarnation YBA!) were a lot of fun. I wrote the original javascript to generate the weather (later becoming the initial location), the insults, and the moves. When the second generation of the game was being worked on, I took the generator too far... almost killed the...

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/159628170/the-arcanum-30th-anniversary-edition This is a classic from the 1980s. This is not a retro-clone... this is the rebirth of a retro-classic that was, in very many ways, well ahead of its time.

Agreed. Sorry if I was misunderstood. My point was not to be critical of D&D4e (which is a fine system, only not my style of role-play); my intent was to challenge the thesis statement of the OP -- Is this how success is truly measured? Should character creation for a game or campaign be...

Would the idea that you must have each of the roles described to have encounter work properly (what-ever that means) be a tell-tale sign of huge flaw in the game design?

At this time... no. I have a list of things I want to do -- the first two are Arcanum 30th Anniversary and Arcanum 4e. After that, we'll see...

ZiLa Games Facebook Page Created! https://www.facebook.com/pages/ZiLa-Games/183396728460969 This is the Facebook page I have created for handling the Arcanum. ZiLa stands for Zimmerman-Ladage -- Amy Zimmermann is my wife. Future announcements and information will be posted there. Thanks!

30th Anniversary Edition OK... I have a complete high-res scan of the 2nd and 3rd editions of the book. I have some good OCR software which is making pulling the text out of those scans relatively painless. The current plan is to put together a re-organized version of the 2nd/3rd edition text...

God I loved Traveller. Hell, the only RPG I ever played where the char gen was game, in and of itself.

A story I have told before. This is the best I can recall the events... In a Blood Bowl League, my team (The Arborians) was a team of elves. I was playing the Iron Hammer, a team of dwarves. The weather for the game was rolled: Heat Wave. The rules for this weather state that each team needs...

Cyclopedia. Most definitely. I have four copies of that book and wish I had more.

The covers are alright, I suppose. But it seems odd that the 3.5 rules are the next to get the "premium" cover treatment. Seems like an AD&D2/e premium, then a 3.5 would have made more sense.

Ed_Laprade -- I actually do not own a copy of the first edition. Any chance you would be willing to part with your copy? Dannyalcatraz -- thank you so much!

Hello all. My name is K. David Ladage. I have been away for a long time (far too long, to be honest). Back in 2000-2005, I was the primary author, co-founder, and promoter for Jagged Edge Games. JEG was a hobby-project company and the primary line of materials revolved around the UMBRAGIA...

Well... It has been over a week since anyone posted on this board. None have said anything about the last comments on the rules I proposed. And, well, I have enough on my plate. Good-bye.

Pitty.
