    Bioshock: Anyone Inspired for RPGs?

    Drawing up a real crazy sight like rapture is not going to be easy. I mean - you can go for the underwater city idea, and that is certainly something you don't see everyday. A flying city is actually (strangely enough) a far more common concept to find in gaming than a undersea city. Unlike a...

    Bioshock: Anyone Inspired for RPGs?

    Bio Shock is a beautiful game. The setting is very rich. I could easily imagine it as a role play setting in its own right. I think it kind of says something about the industry right now that it isn't. Kinda like ... "Where's the GI Joe d20?"

    Spend gold to gain XP house rule

    Amusing Dinner Parties and Dilettantes? I am suddenly reminded of 2nd ed when Rouges got 1 XP for every gold, and Wizards got XP when they cast spells! As far as a ratio - there is a rule I use when I am running a particular world. I don't allow players to "spend XP" on spells or item...

    Odd and even a philosophical illusion
