    What do you want the next "genre setting" to be?

    Put me down for Star Frontiers, Dark*Matter, Top Secret and maybe something Pulpy (but not with magic being used for Weird Science ... )

    Hero System Vs. Mutants & Masterminds. Which is the better super-hero game?

    Best answer for you is right there :) I've played both ... and enjoy both. Really, the games aren't that different and are more like different flavors of ice cream rather than anything else. Both are still ice cream ... and both taste great :) It really depends on what flavor you enjoy in...

    Galaxy of Intrigue

    There's a virtual smorgasbord of material let to work on ... how about expanding the Era books that are out? More stats for NPCs from the Expanded Universe, tons of ships, more species, enough equipment for a few Arms & Equipment Guides, info for some of the novels (like a Corporate Sector...

    Hellas: Worlds of Sun and Stone

    Hellas: Worlds of Sun & Stone Review By DT Butchino In the immortal words of Charlie Brown, “AAUUUUGGHHH!!” Why would I start a review off like this? I blame Khepra Publishing. I’d just gotten settled with a few games and planned on supporting them for the years to come and then I got a copy...

    d6 Powers Revised & Expanded

    D6 Powers: Revised and Expanded. By DT Butchino About twenty years ago, I discovered the d6 system. At the time, it was being used in the Star Wars Roleplaying Game and I spent hour with my friends rolling six-sided dice in hopes of thwarting the Empire. In 2004, West End Games returned with a...

    Adamant Entertainment Questions

    From the Adamant Entertainment News: I was wondering if there were plans to convert this over to any other systems? I know I'd love to see a True20 version.

    New Modern?

    Nothing against True20 or Modern20, as I think they're both awesome systems :) But, with WotC, I'd like to see some specific stuff come out that would fit the d20 Modern mold (due mostly to copyrights): Star Frontiers (as a full game), GI Joe (which would be a great tie-in for 2k9)...

    Anyone know when D20 Modern/Future Might Be Out?

    I think the philosophy of d20 Modern would be interesting ... but I think it'd be better if they created more specific games rather than a generic Modern book. For example ... a new edition of Star Frontiers, Gangbusters or Top Secret would cater better to the 4e mindset with specific classes...

    New Modern?

    Has anyone heard if WotC is making a new Modern game? I'd heard a few rumblings that there may be one this summer ... but haven't seen anything.

    Official posts on DDM changes

    I think this is smart marketing on WotC's end. People have been clammoring for a few years about how much the randomness sucks when trying to play the RPG side of things, not to mention if you want to build specific groups in DDM. I actually liked the way that the newer Chainmail sets were...

    D&D 4E DDXP 4E Rules Appendix

    I was curious about the skill list as well ... seems to me that that skill list is kinda small and VERY specific.

    D&D 4E 4e and anime

    Speaking as the GM who allowed his player to jump griffon to griffon taking down the riders on each ... why not? I'm all for high-action adventure! Just so long as the player earns it ;)

    Modern20?

    Hiya Chuck, I've been considering getting M20 and had a few questions: 1) Within the modern genre, what does M20 mostly cater to? 2) I see MA20 is on its way. Are you looking at a more tool-kit approach to M20? Many thanks in advance.

    Mutants and Masterminds-alternate power

    In a nutshell, APs are bought as Feats (1pp) and may be any power that costs the same as the base power. So, taking a Blast 10 (20pp) an AP: Snare 10 (20pp) would actually only cost 21pp total (20 for the base power + 1 for the AP). APs are used instead of the main power (unless you have...

    d20 Modern: What Would you change part II

    Personally, I'd take a page from d20 CoC and use one class that could be hyper modified with Talent Trees ala SWSE.

    The big announcement: 4dventure

    You know ... thinking about this ... why was the forum open for others to see? Was it a mistake? Call me "In Denial", but I'm almost wondering if this stuff wasn't on purpose. Could it be possible that 4dventure actually isn't 4e? But rather a marketing plan to catch people's attention...
