Hello I'm looking for a group to play with on Friday or Saturday nights 7:30pm to Midnight or so. I love Shadowrun and Vampire but I am open to Pathfinder, D&D and other things as well. I can go from North Seattle (Northgate) to South Everett (Payne Field). I'd be willing to run Shadowrun 2, 3...

THIS IS SO TRUE! The story of why Peter hired Lisa is fairly interesting to. My advise to anyone that wants to have the next big RPG is hire Lisa.

The best thing Peter ever did was hire Lisa. She just worked for that little company that made a vampire game before moving to WOTC and then Piazo. The girl knows how to have an RPG company make money. [edit] its also worth noting that Steve Jackson said that GURPS digital sells less than...

I really really want to say nWOD but the correct answer is Unknown Armies its similar to the Cthuhlu system (uses %) but you could harden rather than go insane it also has several sanity meters based on the type of stimuli.

If you save a copy of the OS and the software you can always make images and load them into a virtual machine, then you have it as long as you back it up and the world doesn't end personally I'm gearing up for d&d next, waiting for shadowrun 5e to actually have a print copy with erata and...

I agree, the only thing that rubs me wrong so far is how quick natural healing is (but please dont go back to 1HP per day as that was even more rubbish) and how easy it is to stabilize (the death roll itself is fine but it should be 5/3 or something not 3/3). Otherwise I either like or am at...

If shes played D&D 3.X/PF I'd go with LOTR as its fairly similar with enough Tolkien flair in the magic system to not be overly D&D (Very similar to LOTRO MMO in magic style, maybe too much magic for purists but no fireball slinging a few burning embers with the right components though). MERPs...

So 2e is my favorite by far even rules wise here are some reasons you may want to go to 5e 1. 2e books are falling apart? Feel the need for dead tree? 2. Some of the more famous fans of the 2e era are freelancers on 5e so there are several things you will find more familiar than moving to 4e 3...

I don't think barkskin and mage armor stack. Also not sure about the shield with mage armor but id have to re-read it.

IMHO its has to do with what acceptable behavior is in the area in which you live. In places with high % of nerds gaming is accepted by the people at large and they tend to have familys, high paying jobs and still get out for a night with the guys. Rather than going to the football game they are...

So i have two friends we'll call them b1 and b2 who both really like 4e. B1 never played D&D without gobs of house rules because hes not into powerful casters, he likes 4e because his fighter can contribute at high level. B2 likes 4e because hes a min/maxer and always got his ideas shut down in...

For me 3e isnt playable in the double digit levels and pathfinder makes this worse. 4e for all its flaws is playable at leased the lower double digits (never played epic myself). 3.0 was the last edition I thought "felt" like D&D but theres no science there just emotional attachment, 2e and 3.0...

You could loose the grid rather than loose the map, play it more fast and loose with distances. So if your 6.5 inches away call it 6 etc. It wont make it a whole lot faster other than you stop counting spaces and just charge in if your close.

Savage Worlds will do alot of setting pretty good, not as good as a specific system but if you want to run space adventures one week and fantasy the next its close enough for most things. That said for fantasy only I prefer Legends of Anglerre.

I want one core book but pages is a big factor, the pathfinder core book is way too large so if thats my option give me the classic 3
