4 out of 5 rating for Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Core Rulebook It's a fun system, fast, without the problems of excessive power bloat due to ever increasing numbers. It can be rough at first getting used to comparing symbols rather than just doing math, but it works out, giving players and...

4 out of 5 rating for Star Wars: Age of Rebellion Core Rulebook I'd give it a 5, except it's benefit is it's drawback - it is a stand alone RPG using the same system as Edge of the Empire, which means that if you already possess that, you are laying down significant cash for a huge repeat of...

Also worth considering is AutoREALM, an RPG mapping program akin to Campaign Cartographer, which shares many of the joys and failings of the latter as an AutoCAD mapper for role-players.

Instant Were-rat mole, comes to mind. (Would that be a metaphysical were-mole?)

Well, if it was easy, everybody'd be doing it....

I was figuring I would clear out unnecessary, old attachments from my account. And I found (again, as I'm sure I've tried this before), that if the thread the attachment was posted to was closed/locked due to the Thousand Post limit, then the attachments are locked as well, and cannot be...

Supped on the blood of innocents?

Now now, you just need to show it who's boss. It's like the swearing parrot joke. Just put that die in the freezer for a little while, and it'll understand what happens to those polyhedrals who slide down the bell curve.

"Heroes Release Agent of Apocalypse They Are Supposed to be Stopping" That's my favorite headline as a GM. You're mean. (golf clap)

Honesty being the best policy (except in big business), I figured people should know that there might be something up with how the site tracks and IDs CS accounts. I just noticed a little banner informing me that my account expired on the 17th. That matches my records the best I can tell, now...

I do something akin to this for my True20-esque run, with three "classes" of minion: Mooks: 1 hit to kill Henchmen: 2 hits or 1 crit to kill Lieutenants: 3 hits to kill, grant all other minions in the fight an "extra hit" to a max of 3, by their leadership/supernatural power. It's worked out...

I've come to the conclusion in my games that there's almost no way to quantify overuse of a stunt mechanic so long as the the player's are expending something useful to their characters and taking a chance. I've been enjoying reading this thread because it kind of proved a perception of mine -...

I hope for your sake it's not a pony. Do you know how much those things poo? Good luck and happy birthday, nonetheless!

That said, tones of Tenser's Transformation from Prior Editions comes to mind. If it were me, I would look up the Tenser spells from the old Greyhawk Adventures hardbound for inspiration. Nature Themed powers that give a certain number of rounds of Enhanced Defense, or melee nature powers with...

Ok, I don't have the brainspace to make effective power by power commentary at the moment, however, I did want to say... Absolutely, fundamentally, COOL. Highly different playstyles represented with a world integrated mechanic...love it. This would probably make me bother to play 4E. When...
