If you don't mind a few questions since you live in Boston... How popular are the top members of the city government? Like the Mayor and the City Council? I'm wondering if part of the reaction by City government wasn't an attempt to make themselves appear efficient and effective. (Mind you, I...

Seattle has also had to deal with similar situations before. Here's a link to an event which happened while I was living at 3rd & Bell Street about three blocks away from Westlake Plaza. It was a mighty sucky day in Seattle when this happened...

I keep reading about how the Boston police over-reacted on this site and some other forums, so I'd like to ask a few hypothetical questions: What if these things really were bombs? What if the police hadn't reacted as they did to a possible threat?

IMHO T20, like all versions of Traveller, will never die. Traveller itself has survived numerous incarnations and several companies. It is the Demi-Lich of SFRPGs.

It looks unwieldy, but isn't. I had the same initial concerns that you have about it when I was starting out, but it turned out that they were pointless concerns. As a system of tracking wounds it is really effective and brings across with it the Classic Travller feel of lethality in combat. Run...

How much money are you wanting to spend? If you don't know, then start out by checking out the web resources for Traveller available. The best one for T20 is the Citizens of the Imperium forum, its sort of a catch-all for every incarnation of Traveller out there. Then use the links section on...

I've got to say, that in the twenty-five years of gaming that I've done, I have never found a need for the information offered in this product. Sorry, but I'll save my money for something else.

Just because a game system doesn't work for you, doesn't mean it won't work for somebody else.

I'd say go with d6 Star Wars, it is tried and true for use as a Star Wars rules system. I don't personnally have a lot of love for d20 Star Wars, but I'd also say keep an open mind and borrow someone's d20 Star Wars Saga Edition when it comes out and see if that works for what you want as a...

Don't forget to look at Tax Credits! The Hope Tax Credit will allow you to get a majority of your taxes back while you are in college, it only lasts for two years - but that sure did help me out.

Another closet ABBA fan here. Please don't tell my collection of Punk Rock cassettes...

I don't see Cannon Fodder anywhere on the list...

I don't see Traveller on the list anywhere.

Halflings are the only ones fit to live on. Gnomes must all die. There should such a gnomish armageddon that entire regions should have their landscape shaped by the gnomish skeletons - the Gnome Bone Hills and such.

Rudyard Kipling wins for me, followed by TS Elliot. I like Kipling's poetry because a lot of it has a martial theme or deals with subjects that the common man would be interested in, my favorite being McAndrew's Hymn. TS Elliot interests me because of the dual nature of his work, the man whole...

I agree, but this is only my choice for a d20 product. The original Classic Traveller LBB 1-3 still gives me hours of enjoyment after being around for 25 years. You just can't beat that in my book for value.

D20 Star Wars I spent too much money on the system and when I'd finally had enough, sold it all on ebay for 1/2 what I'd paid for it.

I have a feeling that gnomes could work if they were portrayed as wily tricksters who are dedicated to guarding the lands of the fey. Otherwise they are just, well, bland. In 25 years of gaming, I've never had a player want to roll up a gnome character. I like the idea of using gnomes as the...

Cool. Thanks for all the replies! I didn't know about the Planescape module, I'll see if I can find a copy of it. I'll definitely be downloading the Requiem for a God PDF. At the moment, I am thinking of having a spellcaster Gate in a chunk of dead god to land next to his stronghold on the...
