    M&M - Anime adaptation

    I have ordered the first two volumes of the X-Manga. To expand my original thread-starting question: How usable is M&M generally for anime and manga fans?

    M&M - Anime adaptation

    Thanks. I expect the shapechange to some sort of Enery dragon (Earth dragons green, Celestials yellow) will be among the powers that will have to be made up from scratch? Be that as it may, I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on that M&M book!

    M&M - Anime adaptation

    Happy New Year to everybody! Today I ordered a copy of Mutants and Masterminds, inspired to do so by the Anime movie "X-Movie" - perhaps you know, this thing about Earth and Celestial Dragons fighting to destroy respectively save human civilisation. The heroes and villains are dragons in human...

    "Levelless" d20?

    Can't help the feeling that attempts for a levelless d20 game are sponsored by the pocket calculator industry ... That's what levels are for: shorten the math. :D

    Hey, you! Can you suddenly not post, where previously you could?

    Only testing ... Don't linger here ...

    Results from d20 Modern game

    It really is. Our PCs are adventuring in our hometown in Germany and the immediate neighborhood - although among the PCs you find 1 American Indian cop, 1 Chinese Lady and 1 Canadian ex soldier. The Chinese Lady is the teams medic, and she was the first to go down in a Puppeteer attack in a...

    SW - Starting Languages

    You know of course the old saying: the DM is always right. But in this case I think you have the Rulebook on your side and he is not. Don't know if this helps you ...

    [PR] OWC Announces Countdown: Operation Dead Drop

    I don't think this product will become a huge seller in continental Europe. Most people here are not in for the fun of covert invasions, "killing all personnel" and assassinating some bogeyman of gov't propaganda. Fictional villains are psychologically easier to handle. Watch the movie "Black...

    d20 Modern praise

    I received my copy yesterday und read the whole day through it (before and after a Forgotten Realms session) deep into the night. I cannot really express how much I love this game. I like the hit point damage system (it makes the game more easy and fast in combat situation - where being fast and...

    Parabolic micros in modern RPGs

    Thank you for the tip, Dismas! I have printed the web enhancement, and never again will my players be able to listen to a conversation in the basement of a house from outside, just be using a par. micro! :D The spell "Red Light, Green Light", by the way, is a spell just to my liking. :cool:

    Parabolic micros in modern RPGs

    What strikes me as odd: One piece of equipment (the parabolic microphone) is nearly always omitted from modern RPG equipment lists - be that d20 or Gurps, even in d20 Modern. It was the first thing - well, one of the first - that my players wanted and used extensively, proclaiming vehemently...

    Really good news even for Germany - because then I will be able to order it online and have it at the end of next week.

    (AEG) D20 Rokugan update

    Grrr - sorry for the awkward English in my previous post!

    (AEG) D20 Rokugan update

    I've just begun reading in it; first impression: Solid work, comparable to the "Way of ..." books, very much usable für using the Lion as a DM-tool. It's the only major clan no player in our group belongs to, but that doesn't mean that we can't use the book as a DM-ressource.

    d20 Modern: Two weeks and counting

    The discussion about hp- and WP/VP-damage systems will probably remain forever - but as I think designers will always look for the preferences of us consumers I want to throw in my vote for the hp-system. You can make it as gritty as you like by adjusting the massive damage threshold (as has...

    Green Ronin to publish DragonFist!

    And I hope Green Ronin or some publisher will support Dragonfist with adventure and campaign material. One good inspiration are the novels about Judge Dee by Dutch diplomat and author (former ambassador to China) Robert van Gulik, and another the traditional Chinese tale about the rebels of the...

    Green Ronin to publish DragonFist!

    That's good news! As much as I like Rokugan, it's time that more elements of Chinese mythology and tradition come to shine in RPGs. I like these flying swordsmen and these whirling ladies with their devastating blows - as long as they don't hit me! The strong Japanese flavor was the one thing...

    This book rocks! It is so good that I have difficulty reading it - because I'm constantly square-dancing from sheer delight! You can have your d20-contemporary campaign (tech level 8) and your 3rd-Imperium-campaign with the same set of rules! And they are good! If you understand German, you can...
