I pretty much agree with HEAP. The setting is entirely awesome, well crafted, and while I don't have wild talents (Sold out or something... darn it) I have to disagree with the notion that it is only a single game setting, simply because my players were scrambling for more. Issues: 1. Combat...

Years ago we used to do the chips, softdrink routine. Nowadays we eat real food - mrs. Arrgh is a relatively new cook and so tries new things all the time. Even our snacks are adult snacks - cheeses, dips, pepperoni, pickled onions and the like. I must admit I'm avoiding that 2'oclock burnout...

Plane sailing, your advice is awesome and will be used. Maj-odo "I ignite my.. Me: "What about force slam? It was so easy last time.. to defend your allies.. just use the force and they'll never have to worry about a thing; damn, you looked good saving their butts last time, too." Interesting...

I suppose the fluff of the setting; the light side not being used as a tool? Hows about this idea - using the force as the first alternative - force slam move object to batter people about and so on on the opening round can be seen as using the force as a tool, which is a very sith perspective...

A lot of good advice here. Just a small thing; do you roleplay with "And then Krusk says' KRUSH!" or do you say "CRUSH!"? Weirdly enough, take yourself out of your character. Before you make a snide comment, think 'what would Krusk say'? And then 'Krusk says..." It removes the direct...

Well, I just had a very successful Star Wars Saga game; lots of combat, investigation, and so on and even (Yes!) buddy banter, and leaving some nice plot hooks for the next adventure. Just a question - one of the characters, a Jedi focusing on Force powers and the like was wondering if he could...

Whats up with the calls for Greyhawk? I just don't get it. Just people wanting to see their setting in action? The "wow" factor of Eberron would be a far better selling point, and has all the journeying into deep dark whatevers to find the seven parts of the macguffin. It just has all the nice...

Really? But why would wizards interfere? I assumed Dungeon had all the IP for doing this sort of stuff. I know Dungeon is going out, but is publishing this just not worthwhile for the profit, or can wizards actually interfere with the process?

Nice! Thanks so much! *Dutifully copies down*. I couldn't work out how to do it with only the 1000 credits. I didn't think you could use the scoundrel starting fund to get into it. Oh well, it's nicely put together. The slight change is it's going to be called T4-KM (Tee-kay). Other than...

Hi guys! I'm going to run a game this weekend and one character wanted to be a custom droid. I'm wondering how to do this idea - Basically, one of those blue think tanks (Touch-coma?sp) without the giant pod on the back that people sit in from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. This...

While true, remember two things that have a further effect - Really big guys will have high strength - but might not have as many attributes or abilities as other characters. A suggested addendum may be to not give them the bonus AC. (Though that might weaken them immensely.) Big guys won't...

We played a one-shot some time back. My missus is a huge trans-geek and ran it for us, but is no rules junky so just ran as is, which had it's problems. I believe I had much the same problem as you did before you fixed it so nicely. Basically, I had a decepticon tank named Shock Tactic...

Awesome purchases! Pity about the conversation. Perhaps it's just me, but I actually find non-written stories about fantasy games as boring as all heck. Were they telling me a story (One day, a dragon raided a village..) I could listen. But generally the conversations go - "And then I rode the...

Thanks, Mytholder! I've a party where out of the 5 people in the group, 1 has seen the whole thing, 1 has seen bits and pieces and another is vaguely aware of stuff because I yap on about it. (Fiance). The others don't know much at all. That in mind, and seeing that it does lead on, I might very...

Hi everyone - there's little that bothers me about the latest star wars, but theres just one thing. How do we make the Dark Side more tempting? I know it's tempting to use force thrust and so on against people, but I'd really like a mechanic where calling on fear/anger/whatever is at first...

Hey guys. I picked up The Ragged Edge some time back, and its a fairly awesome if difficult module (IMO). It basically leads on from The Cold Equations. I haven't picked that up yet, and I'm just wondering if TCE was a worthwhile intro adventure. I've never run a B5 game before, but don't want...

It's more bargelike than my magical steampunk zeppelins, but I tend to use poetical references. The PC's ship is the Coy Mistress, the powerful bad ship is the Dame Sans' Merci. Hows about - The Last Duchess King of Kings Blind in Blood West Wind

On the music issue: It kind of depends. I love Cowboy Bebop because the music is extremely well done for the mood and fight choreography that goes into it. A fantasy movie on the other hand, if it is to be done well should have music that emphasizes its mood and doesn't take it away. Sci-fi...

I must admit the technological angle did annoy me a tad, before I had a realisation. but you have to realise this is basically a fantasy before it attempts to be sci-fi. the sci-fi is the flavour - fantasy is the real meat of these stories. Star wars requires space-ships, blasters and the like...

Currently setting up a fantasy airships, pirates and so on game set using a homebrewed world but with a lot of Iron Kingdoms stylistic tendancies and incorporating christianity into the world, set in a 1600 - 1700 style era. Basically, the first part of the game will be based in and around Five...
