Here's some sample NPCs to give folks a feel for the system. Here's an example of how easy character customization can be, starting from the generic NPCs provided in the book. Let's start with one of the generic NPCs and modify him. Elite Psychic (Empath 12): HD 12d8+36; HP 108; Init +1; Spd...

Where can you get these in a format that will play on a modern PC?

Soldiers and Spellfighters is an outgrowth of Wizards and Wiseguys. W&W was 20 pages long and covered an alternate WWI and Prohibition era where magic had entered our world and was for the d20 Modern system. Soldiers and Spellfighters covers just the WWI era and is 75 pages. Also, it's for...

Magic items as a whole, from what little I've seen, seem to have gotten the nerf-bat HARD in 4e. And I for one, kind of like that. The PCs should be winning the fights with their own abilities, not from the 80 magic items they're packing around in their portable hole.

Everyone says 4e is too videogamey... well here's a video game concept for you, drawn straight from a Final Fantasy game. In one of the FF games, creatures would "oversoul" once you'd killed a lot of them, essentially transforming and gaining a LOT of combat ability. I recommend any GM whose...

Mostly I've been trying to make sure the system can accomodate whatever type of supers folks want. It seems to scale pretty well so far. What we're using to test it is Dark Future at the moment. My players are having a grand time figuring out how to sneak out of the Atlanta Containment Zone...

Glad I could help.

The systems are pretty different. As much as I'd like to recommend my own stuff, I think you'd be better off looking here where you can find almost 50 marvel characters for M&M 2e and hundreds for M&M 1e.

With the basics of the system hammered out, I've been posting some sample characters by request, to give folks a taste of the system.

In most cases, I agree with Psion. Playtesters of a book usually have a personal relationship with the folks doing said book. My playtesters for example, are my home gaming group, friends of mine for years. It wouldn't be appropriate for them to review books I've done, imo. This review is a...

There's almost no "real reviews" of anything until it's released. Movies are something of an exception I think, and I think even then companies are starting to make reviewers wait until the movie is released before posting their reviews, ostensibly to avoid spoilers. I know in video game...

Dude, it's from THIS THREAD. Sheesh. Try to be at least a little informed huh? The "try to be positive email" was internal, sent to Wizards employees and freelancers. As this reviewer is neither, he never got it, never even knew about it. He asked for permission to write a review and it was...

Except that the person who wrote the review for AICN has said a couple of times now that HE received no such directive to only be positive. He's also not a freelancer. It's just possible that he really liked it as much as he says he did.

I find this ironic given the kindle's pricing scheme, which is pretty much full price, for what amounts to a text file with no formatting. He might think stuff on Kindle should cost less, but that doesn't seem to be affecting his own pricing scheme.

Wait did I miss an announcement? I thought they were still behind the idea of PDFs for the "price of a cup of coffee" if you got the printed book?

I like this forum BECAUSE its a bit on the slow side. I dont check the forums every 4 hours and would hate to miss a thread Im interested in (or even one directed specifically to me- as has happened in the past) because it moved off the front page.

I've done True 20 Blood and Fists, Darwin's World and Legends of Excalibur for RPGObjects, and I did True20 Wild West for Green Ronin. I get asked about Blood and Vigilance, which is flattering, but Im not sure that would fly. I tend to think people who want Kenson-y supers will gravitate...

True 20 is an amazing game. It strikes just the right balance between flexibility and the core of what makes d20 great. For example, there are classes (something d20 needs imo), but there are no class skills, and class abilities are feats, allowing the game to cover much more ground with only...

Posted a sample power today, a relatively simple one but I think, combined with the earlier posts, it shoudl give a strong indication of the direction of the book. Blast- doesnt get any more essential than that!

Hasbro might get out of the P&P RPG business, but I dont think they will sell the brand. I know this isn't what people want to hear, but let's face it, the brand makes them money. Even if they decide traditional RPGs are a bad business (I dont think they will btw), why would they sell it, when...
