Fantasy cities have always held a certain level of curiosity for me. While it easy to use the Roman or any historical model as a touchstone, the prevalence of magic, Devine or Mundane changes all we seem to know about medieval technology and life in a city. I would submit that a more accurate...

I have been out of gaming for a few years, but what is a Tick initiative system? Is that like Hero systems with action speeds or like Star Fleet battles and movement phases?

Most people need a familiar touchstone rules wise, and that is whatever most popular system, with an OGL. Personally I don’t care, over the years I have converted so many modules to off or little used systems, D6, Fantasy Hero, Rolemaster, and Skills and Powers, that I do not fear the conversion...

Also, you could increase the number of people, to where the 1st level spells are just getting by, say 10. This could be done with a ship crash, on a desert coast, or an air ship, flow storm or magical anomaly as in Shadow World. Why are they in the desert in the first place, maybe they were...

What I’d like to see in Traveller: 1. Quality, like the Digest Group Products, the Starship Operation Manual was great as was their Digest. Great art and writing really well thought out, DGP really set a high standard in game material in my mind. 2. Comprehensive starship design, using a...

I’m excited, I love Traveller, and if Mongoose can do it justice with plenty of support, great. As for using D20 or a new set of rules, I will use what ever is the best, but I’ll still buy the new stuff that's for sure. But, support includes MINIATURES, we need miniatures, I’m tired or using...

Well it’s not just how many nobles are needed, but how many factions are there, After all there are always those who have power and those who want more. Generally factions are based on noble families with deep roots in all sides. Watch the Showtime series The Tudors, or the movie Elizabeth and...

Usually published material here, and then rewrite it to fit my world. I have this fetish or compulsion really, for old modules, with great maps, like Ravenloft, love the castle, and Dragons of Despair, love the sunken city, and obscure resources like Midkemia Press, The Companions, Brotherhood...

Give him a few sessions, then ask if he’s comfortable, after all it better that he’s reserved at the beginning, rather then trying to take over. He might turn out to be smart enough to quietly work himself into the game and the group.

Other Shadow World, an ICE product, why because it’s unique and generic enough for players to find continuity. It’s a great sandbox and really that’s all I need, let me pull modules and adventures from all over, but give me the basics building blocks and let me go for it. Also let's be...

Thanks for the input, I do appreciate it. I was hesitant to write anything because I don’t have a search option, and I have looked at the past posts to see if this has been answered before. I plan on buying the Magical Society book and have read Monte Cooks diaries, Player’s guide on Poltus...

I been out of the RPG gaming for a bit and I wonder if there are any products that address, either in rules, Dragon articles or game setting, what a magical, even low level stuff, or even a polytheistic society would do to a European fantasy/medieval model setting? What I have found in the...

I have used social standing in past as a GM, but I’m afraid I seen it abused in other games. Most young players see it as only a way to get “Stuff.” The concept, that there is level of reasonability involved with being Noble never enters their mind. One player I knew, who was kind of a...

Good stuff, Harn has always been a favorite of mine, great maps and a really high quality fanzine "Thonahexus."

I like to see a product that simply does what I can not. I’d like to see, lots of maps, topographical maps also, art, and more art, even landscapes and villages, weather patterns, different languages with vocabulary even common sayings to add spice to world, and real medieval demographics...

Well, I had this player, in my game, that was just, hyper, stupid, and talked so much that no else could get in a word in during the game, so Everyone was getting annoyed, so I just said ”you have triggered the “Idiot Transporter” and good bye.” I'm as blunt as a mace when i need to be, that...

I have been retired out of RPG gaming for some time, and I was thinking of coming back. But is there a “Birthright” type game system out for 3.5, that combines RPGs with more strategic gaming.
