Re: Re: I go to bed for the night and look what happens! Actualy, the game is based off AD&D 1st/2nd edition. It takes it's name from the game of the same name is KoDT, but the HackMaster featured in KoDT is essentialy AD&D anyway. Empathis on "fully playable RPG". That statement is made in...

Although I can't do much about a lack of intrest (unless I start working for TVshop or something, in which case I'll be forced to), I can wonder at your description of 1st/2nd ed. as obsolete. Obsolete, by definition, means that there's no use for the system, and I'm sure there are several...

And I'm very gratefull you did. Doesn't happen to me every day, you know. ;) As for Kenzer & co's reendition of GreyHawk... from all I can see, they're taking it very seriously, and taking their time with it. They've been activly looking for fan input on the setting, and have asked on several...

Re: No I don't think its a joke.. Now that's part of the joke. One that even a few HackMaster fans feels it could have done without. Personaly, I just think it's fun to read. It's not meant to be taken seriously. Unless you want to. Because you can. ;) Not realy a lot to say on that one... :)...

Legba. Voudoun loa of magic, protector of the home and deity of crossroads, the favorite meeting place of sorcerers. Worshipped in Santería as Eleggua, he has the same properties in both religions. He is also identifed with Saint Anthony. In Voudoun myth, Legba acts as the iterpreter of the...

I stand corrected. I don't read Dragon, so it's not something I'd look for. :) That's intresting. I had no idea there were so many different versions of GreyHawk. In that case, I can see where the conflict steems from. And I'm glad that I'm not Kenzer & co and have to work my way through all...

I know, I know... I try to hang onto camp 4, but every time someone mentions an anime... I get sidetracked. *sigh* :) Emanuel

Yeah, do'h. Perfect Blue. That film was just freaky. :D There's this anime thingy that goes every friday, where you can come in and watch 3 hours of anime shows. That's where I picked up on Cowboy Bebop, by the way. And they keep showing Macross, which not a lot of people bother to see, but...

The way I hear it, they're going to work on that after 1st/2nd edition. The problem is, 3rd edition is so far removed from 1st & 2nd as to be an entierly new game rather than a new edition. So a straight conversion is hard. However, knowing Kenzer & co products, the background and setting...

*cough* Getting back on topic here... They've put out a One-book Monster Manual now, with the most usual monsters. So that should be good for anyone who's daunted by the cost of the Hacklopedias. The game itself is very good, with perhaps a bit much for me as a GM to keep track of, but that's a...

Oh, I'd definatly go for the DVD's. DVD only, here. :D The problem is, any series of more than 8 DVD's daunt me. And looking up at the shelves at the video store, there's about 20. That's one DVD per paycheck for the next 10 months... :p (I'm currently being payed every second week.) And I...

Yeah, ok. I know I saw the boxed set of Slayers somewhere... maybe it won't cost me an arm and a leg this time. (Though I've got Season 1 of Farscape listed on my "To Buy" list...) Emanuel

No. Freak. :D Seriously, though, I used to play some Werewolf: The Chocholate (or whatever it's called) and as anyone who's played that game can tell you, dreams have a good-sized part. So yeah, I've played with dreams. They're good for 'divine messages', for instance, because they're so open...

Nooooooooooo!!!!! Sounds cool. I've got the Record of Lodoss War series, which did a pretty good job of emulating D&D (it's based on a D&D campaign, after all...), but a parody? That's always welcome. :D Argh. That's the problem. Where to start? It's like Dragonball Z. I could never get...

The benefits of a Hacked GreyHawk, as far as I can see is: 1) A suported version of GreyHawk. -- I havn't seen much from WotC on this matter, but then I can't say I've realy been looking, so I could be mistaken. 2) A version true to the original. -- Seriously. If anything can be said for the...

Feel... myself... losing... touch... with... topic. Slayers, you say? I havn't seen that one yet. I've just finnished collecting "Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040" (argh. Stupid title.) and I was thinking of starting on Cowboy Bebop, but Slayers looks cool... any recomendations? Emanuel

Getting back on topic, I'd like to quote mossfootx from the Kenzer & co forums on this topic: What has to be realized first and formost is that the game ENGINE is not a joke. It is a revamped and improved (though also more complicated) version of 1e and 2e AD&D. The content is often tongue in...

HackMaster is a very large game, with a lot of intricate details. Of course, it also allows you to play it simply, glossing over details here and there (like not bothering to keep track of alignment infractions -- a pretty momentus task that I myself have problems managing), and simply enjoying...

Most likely they'll angle it so that it's pointed out that others who played the game were also fascinated by death. :p It's a link, however tentative, and as long as the case is intresting, they'll explore the angle. Emanuel

It's not as much that as the fact that they need an angle to make in intresting. (As if a decapitation wasn't intresting enough?) So anything that'll give them an angle, they use. In this case, the oddness came from the fact that he played a game which can be thought to lead to a facination with...
