They "cooperated" with WOTC because of an out of court settlement due to WOTC illegally using Knights of the Dinner Table on the Dragon CDROM. K&Co used HM4 to develop a following for RPG fans who don't like where WOTC went with D&D after year 2000. During that time, they had some bad...

Heh, with the history of HM4 and WOTC's approval process of the HM4 product line, I doubt it. Also, why would K&Co want to make product for a competing RPG line? I've read some of the latest WOTC products from the last few years, sorry but I haven't seen a single writer of theirs that can hold...

Better than HackMaster? I assume you mean HackMaster 4th Edition and not the new version? That's going to be kinda tough considering that HackMaster 4th won Origin's Best Game(Not best RPG, but Best Game over all others, RPG, Board/Card, Wargames, etc...) for 2001...

Thanks for the compliment Kurt. And yea, Memphis has 3 SciFi/Game Cons per year, ShadowCon(early Jan), MidSouthCon(Late March) and GameCon Memphis(Late Sep). I'm on the Board of Directors for GameCon. We have a new Con in the area that is an Anime Con(Memphis Blues Con) and another kinda new...

Another vote HMb. I don't agree that it isn't a complete game though. It's complete for levels 1 to 5, which by standard play should take you several months to get through, at 1 session per week. At $20 it's a complete game and there are a few free downloads for it at K&Co's website.

The Table and our sessions with it now have a blog. I posted updated pics and info from out session last night; Uber-Geek Game Table

Here's a picture of our group playing at our new gametable. It was built by Brian, who is taking the pictures and not shown. It has a projector underneath it that is connected to a laptop running Maptools that shows what the characters will see. The GM(Me) has a second laptop running the...

No HackMaster on the list? My game group here meets once per week, we play 2 HackMaster 4th Ed games. We alternate weeks so each game is played every other week. I also play in a weekly HackMaster Basic game. In the last year I've played in a couple of Mongoose Traveller games at conventions.

Yea, that's the biggest thing that I've found that people have understanding. The concept that there is No "Round/Turn/Whatever" and that action is continuous.

GameCon Memphis is coming!!! This year we are changing to a 3 Day Convention, 25-27 Sep 2009; gameconmemphis.com This Year at GameCon Memphis RPGs that WILL be there include, but not limited to: D&D 4e D&D 3.5 HackMaster Basic Aces&Eights and more! And NOT just RPGs but we also have...

Medieval Demographics Here ya go. http://www.io.com/~sjohn/demog.htm Ever since I found it I've used it. btw, don't use Yahoo. Use what Yahoo uses as an engine, www.google.com I also use www.raging.com and www.northernlight.com for searches. Greylond

My point is simply this; How much more would have WOTC's sales been had they put out a product that tried to include some of us old fans. Also, how many of the new players are actually going to stay with the product for years like some of the rest of us? It just seems to be a bad idea to...

3rd Edition has changed so much that it no longer resembles old style D&D. When 2nd Edition was out at least you could use any published material with 1st Edition rules with very little conversion. Now with 3rd Edition out you have to do so much work converting stuff you might as well write...

Obviously some of you have a hard time distinguishing sarcasm also. Greylond

Yea, I did. Hackmaster is a great game all on its own merits. But you can't deny that Hackmaster wouldn't have the fanbase it has if WOTC had put out a 3rd Edition that was more like AD&D. Those of us that love Hackmaster and complain about 3rd Edition are simply trying to state why we love...

3rd Edition has done one great thing for me. It made me go seek out Hackmaster as an alternative. I've found it to be a great game. Greylond

Just about it all. If you want details go over to the Dragonsfoot or kenzerco boards and read my rants. Greylond

Original Halflings as a race actually had a completely different feel to them. They had a totally seperate culture and racial attributes(I'm not talking about stats here) Now they are basically Humans in funny suits. One of the MANY things to hate about 3rd Edition. Greylond
