Revision should have happened ten years ago. What needs to happen now is a new edition. I'll probably snag it, no I know I'll snag it. I'll just end sighing most likely as I read through and then glance at my GURPS 2e Box sets and the early "unrevised" 3e books that I still use. I collected...

I was a fan of the Thieves' World books before the release of Chaosium's Thieves' World box set and later companion book plus the FASA written Thieves' World adventures. So when the box set came out I leaped on it. I ran it and built it out using RuneQuest, then Palladium Fantasy rpg and later...

Just realized that I know Erica. She's a lot of fun as a GM and player here locally. Some days I can be so dense. lol Great interview.

That's very cool. Hmm at that time in my life I had been in West Germany for a few years and mostly doing border patrol along the West/East German and Czech borders as a recon scout. I think I'd rather have been in your Greek Art class though!

You know, I gotta agree. Great points on why we enjoyed it. I wonder newer generations of gamers would view Stormbringer. I repeatedly get this feeling that in the last couple decades that there has been a big change in what people enjoy and will dive right into. For that matter, it feels...

Paranoia Press did some fun stuff for Traveller, including the SORAG book. :) Stormbringer was soo much fun even if unbalanced.

Good deal. I don't recall playing Battlesuit but I did play a lot of Fantasy Trip (melee/wizard), Ogre and Car Wars. Nice to have that put to bed. BattleSuit.

Just got back from my ride thirty minutes ago and the first thing I thought of was GDW's Team Yankee, the First Battle rule set. Pulled it down and its hex but no dots in the center. Strike out again.

Went and looked up Star Fleet Battles speaking of Task Force Games. Maybe GDW? I'd swear it was 1970s wargame though and not 1980s. Ah well, Getting ready for an evening ride on my new motorcycle, so I'll have to search more later. lol Edit: BTW Points for having Universe and FASA's Renegade...

Sean seems like a nice guy and very bright, but his design outlook and what he enjoys are something that I don't care for.

I won't disagree on DF. I went all in on the Dungeon Fantasy Kickstarter and actually have two of everything that they released for it. That said, the power level (250 point start), the snarky munchkin-ism implied etc made it feel limited. I say this is a me problem because when I ran 2e/3e from...

Ok, now that's gonna drive me crazy. I seem to recall a few war/board games from the 1970s that made use of that type of map. I just don't know which company back then that did it, Victory, Wes End Games, Metagaming or Avalon Hill? SPI might be who did it, the more I think about it. Well, this...

Here's how I accounted for it back in the late 1980s and into the 1990s when it cropped up occasionally. "No". No fuss, no muss and very little thought required. If I felt expansive, I'd say, "no, modern day weapons are not in my current campaign. I've given you the races, advantages...

Ran GURPS as my main system from 1987 until 2000. Mostly 2e with early 3e. ( Don't care for later 3e or 4e) Love the system, still do. Just got tired of convincing people to want to play it after every military move or post military moves. I played loose with the 1 second combat as an aside, I...

I recall some using the ones that shot bb-sized rubber balls and some that shot plastic balls? Also dart guns were favored by a few. Personally those weren't my thing because they did one shot and you had to reload where as the bb-sized rubber ball and disc guns could shoot multiple!
