I've played two games of Fiasco and had a great time each time. It's a really well-designed game that produces terrific funny/tragic stories, so long as the players can get into the swing of things. Some actual play summaries: Braille Radio

Not all, but some of us do. For my part, though, while I live in Melbourne I only game with personal friends - which means now I have to start convincing my friends to try out 4E... (To the original poster - Melbourne has a pretty active con gaming scene, so why not ask the various con groups...

I weakened and shelled out an extra $10 to get it two weeks earlier from Amazon. It's still a $25-$30 saving, but I get it mid-June. If I was really impatient I'd cancel my Amazon order and buy it locally - Dungeon of Magic has the books behind the counter, ready to sell on the 6th - but I...

And I'd like to vote against that idea. A monster on its own, either static or in a fairly simple action pose, is much more useful to me, because I can print the image out (or simply open the book) and tell the players "it looks like this". Putting additional characters in their muddles the...

That's the one. (And it'll probably be an adaptation of Red Hand of Doom, since I haven't got round to running that yet.)

And this is one of several bad ideas that were fixed and removed in Vampire: the Reqiuem, where Vitae aren't quantified and countable in the game's reality the way blood points were.

I'm buying it today, but won't have to read it for a few days.

I've been running a campaign for most of the year, but thanks to erratic scheduling we've only had 6-8 sessions. Ah, adulthood. Anyway, it's been a reasonably-standard 'getting mixed up in stuff'' campaign, where I'm trying to move between urban-(ie Sharn)-based investigation and...

We have a dragon shaman in my Eberron campaign, and the impression I get from the player is that he finds his character a lot of fun. He's currently the main melee character in the group, thanks to his medium armour and heavy flail (spending a feat on martial proficiency made the character...

Most(if not all) of Reynold's Eberron cover art is available to view on his website - http://www.waynereynolds.com

They're the Azhar, and their country is Kizmir.

I haven't read Spirit of the Century yet, but I have read the FATE rules the game is based on, and I think they'd work great for a Freeport campaign.

I'm starting an intermittent Freeport/Warhammer FRP game in two weeks, to take advantage of a short hiatus in my Eberron campaign. I'm pleased (and not at all surprised) to say that the setting and system work very well together.

...oh, I like that.

There's a pretty long chapter at the end of the Pirate's Guide about the Serpent's Teeth region, which has more on piratical activities and plot hooks; the GMing chapter also has more on this. The other issue, though, is that a piratical campaign is only one option for Freeport games, and we...
