I interviewed a friend of mine about how much he loves the Psionics Handbook over my my blog a while ago. Here's the link. 2nd edition was never much about balance for me. I always really liked the psionic powers.

I really love BW but always thought of this forum as the D&D joint, so I take my discussion of the game elsewhere, usually to my blog or the BW forums.

Alright, 5e is coming and I have a concept (http://githyankidiaspora.wordpress.com/2014/08/15/daydreaming-about-a-hexcrawl/): ___________________________________________________________________ Your maps are a thousand years out of date as you make your way to the surface… It is one thousand...

I am late to the party and just discovered E6, so I am very happy to see a P6 thread that has been active relatively recently. I am thinking of making a rule where if you want a feat that isn't in your class you have to find a teacher to teach it to you.

The data-files have decent outlines of what the characters are about. I played the intro scenario with two buddies of mine. One has read a bunch of Marvel comics recently and the other likes super-heroes well enough but doesn't read comics. My buddy who didn't read comics much played Captain...

GM “Dynasty? More like a fallen lineage. My slaves will bring it in to the tower’s ground level parlor. I’ll meet you there once I have cleared up some business and we can discuss price. “A tapestry would be a fine prize indeed. Let’s see what you have when I get back. We have free craftsman...

Chapter IV 16th of Eleint, Year of the Prince, 1357, Dale Reckoning GM Reltav the Witch-Rider lands the two of you half a day away from Zhentil Keep. The foulwing lands through the hole in the ruins of some kind of grand wizard’s tower. If any monsters had been living there, Toad would have...

Player Enough stratagems; it’s time to duel. “You wouldn’t know about me,” I tell the witch-rider, "the same way I do not know of any apprentice to Xerez. I bid you greetings, however, as two who have toiled in the Arts and under the wizard’s thumb. I too sought the meeting grounds laid down...

GM Laelin looks like he is about to vomit in fear as he puts down his crossbow. The Head-Taker sneers at him. “You thought you could put a bolt in me and perhaps the rest might run in fear, hm? You’ve heard that orcs run, that they are tough in the first volleys but are easy to rout, hm?”...

Chapter III: 11th of Eleint, Year of the Prince, 1357, Dale Reckoning GM The Cormanthor is an ancient forest. It has seen dragons rule the continent and watched them become shadows of their former selves, hoarding in their lairs. The Cormanthor’s roots reach into the Underdark’s spite and its...

I've played a lot of Burning Wheel. Are you starting a game with your friends? BW does low magic, gritty, oh-my-god-its-a-knife pretty well.

Player: I smile at Laelin and excuse myself, trotting over to Nasharel. Being as careful as I can, I sweep her into an embrace and kiss her fully. “Tenna’ ento lye omenta, mela en’ coiamin.” I run back to Laelin and grab the bridle, and together we grab the horses and set off quietly into the...

Player: I look at Vorass from head to toe, intently, trying to peek into her soul. Dammit, is she or is she not a Zhent spy? She has little time left for me to figure it out. “I noticed. I just couldn’t penetrate its hide. My sword was hitting true but damned if I could find a chink. I now...

Player: The sight of Brother Vhelt dying in a pool of his own blood combined with the sudden appearance of the troll completely throws me for a loop and shuts me down. My mind is screaming to act, but my body just does not respond as it tramples me to the ground. As I see the monster snatch up...

Chapter II 6th of Elient, Year of the Prince, 1357, Dale Reckoning GM Its a cold Autumn rain at dawn as The Hunt leaves Highmoon. Shasslan the Huntress drops a final bag of gold into the inn-keepers hands and brings up the rear of the troop. The company rides in a loose formation around a...

GM: Nasharel has her robe on and her traveling gear laid out and ready to go for the morning. Her hair is still wet from a last bath before hitting the road. Tea is steeping, the same kind of mint tea that your cousin was just drinking. The floor is cleared so that the tapestry can be rolled out...

Player: “Vor, I am a bard, plain and simple. I have some skill with the sword, enough to watch my back and that of my beloved, but I am no martial champion. Upon first laying eyes on you I knew you were a seasoned warrior, a terror to fear with that warhammer of yours in hand. As I join your...

GM: “Your words are kind and gracious. You do your mother proud. It is late and my song is done; I’m off to dream of the stars above Evermeet. What brings you here at midnight, Hal? Are you visiting one of our guests? I could summon them for you if their light is on and they are awake.” Player...

GM: Might be worthwhile to toss out a Belief for a while and get a short-term achievable belief like, “I will find the evidence needed to ascertain if Vorass is with the Zhentarim.” Those short term ones are good for Personna and keep the game flowing…that said, beliefs are YOURS to author; I’m...

GM: The room explodes into hugs and tears and prayers. Shasslan gives you both a hug that is strong and a kiss on each cheek. “Welcome to the Hunt.” While Vorass is cool and collected, Shaelin Blackhand seems to be on a plane of existence made of excitement and enthuisiasm; he hits you on the...
