Look for the iPad app called Basic!, it is a basic interpreter that runs on an iPad.

The game Tales from the Floating Vagabond is right up the alley for this. It had the following adventures published for it: Title: The Reich Stuff ISBN: 1-56038-045-4 Author: Lee Garvin Synopsis: Nazis, Nazis everywhere. Title: Bar Wars ISBN: 1-56038-046-2 Author: Lee Garvin, Nick...

Role playing to the detriment of the game I found this thread, "Role playing to the detriment of the game", interesting and have nominated it accordingly for Topic Of The Week 38, September, 2008.

From one May 10 birthday boy to another!!!! Hope you have an especially good day. Bill Clark

Actually, it is not in the PHB. It is a variant in the DMG on page 28 under Fumbles. Specifically, "If you want to model the chance that in combat a character could fumble his weapon, then when a player rolls a 1 on his attack roll, have him make a DC 10 Dexterity check. If he fails, his...

Still have the game and a number of supplements for it. Played it for 2 to 3 years. At the time it was written, it was designed specifically to be Traveller on steriods. That's a quote from the designer since several of my friends and I were involved in playtesting it. They tried to throw...

I know that Decision Games has republished a number of old SPI games over the years and has been publishing S&T since 1988. They have the rights to quite a few of them, but I do not know if the ones you are looking for are among them.

Yep, have some that I call House House Rules, as opposed to my Game House Rules. You can find them on my campaign wiki: Adventures In Kalamar!

Waterloo is long gone from there. The store closed about 10 years ago and it's stock was bought by The Gamer's Realm in Cranbury, NJ. Waterloo was a great store. I grew up three blocks from the store and it was on the way home from grammar school as well. I spent many a Thursday night there...

Exactly what I use. Each player has a glass bowl to put the stones in and the following is how we use them. Definitions: RED stone - represents 1 hit point GREEN stone – represent 10 hit points CLEAR stone - represents 1 temporary hit point BLACK stone - represents -1 hit point (used...

I use fumbles in our game. They do not happen very often and have added to what happens story wise. I have had one player changed the direction of his character development because of the unique ability to always end up getting the same result. It works as follows: If you roll a 1, there is a...

I'll have to look those up. I was totally taken off guard by the strip dedicated to me from Jolly and the D-Team. It was a real pleasant surprise.

Hey BBR! There is a thread on the Kalamar Forums currently discussing what the future is bringing, although you will not get confirmed announcements till about 2 months prior to publication. As far as a few other helpful sites, I'll see what I can do about digging up some. There are a few out...
