Primetime Adventures is a new, radically creative game that is about creating a TV melodrama (in the vein of Alias, 24, Six Feet Under, Buffy, etc). Extremely simple to pick up (appropriate for those new to RPGs entirely), you can cooperatively create a TV show, define protagonists, and play the...

Daniela has not the interest.

When you talk about expelling a member, you say unanimous minus one, with the current member abstaining. Could you make clear whether for purposes of majority, and unaniminity, what abstentions do?

This is a "More Crunch!" analysis, not a style or "What's fun to play?" thing. I don't have a book on me to tell you exactly what to take, but you need to look strongly at the AU combat feats: a good deal of them are very strong compared to the PHB. Off hand, I'd absolutely, positively take...

Chases are the example I was just blanking on: Innovative system. If you get familiar with it, neat. But it's slow. Maybe not as slow as tactical-warame-d20 modern style, but still: you look at the manuevers, cross reference with your current lead, choose manuevers, look up the table, add...

Spycraft does a lot of things well. I like the game. Action Dice are pretty cool (although the mechanisms for Control Action Dice seem dubious to me, but that's another thread). Combat is a bit speedier, due to a simplified action system, and no AoO's. It's got a style to it. It still misses a...

I wrote a while back about the vis expenditure being possibly very dangerous up front. I think this is still the case: we should carefully broach whether these books will still be available later, because we're really setting up our covenant first. (Hopefully, the answer is sure!) Why? Because...

If everybody is happy to post their arts at which they have 5 and 9 competence, then great! We can compile that, and make a list. I respect if people don't want to share that. The benefit, which is a very big one, however, is that we can actually request the books we're weak in now rather than...

Oh, let me make a note: splitting dice pool mechanisms isn't an impossible idea to work into cinematic/narrative games, but I've yet to see a way of making that gel with d20 (assumedly because d20 is a one-die game. :) )

You asked for criticism, so I'll give it: this is a pretty bad rule by itself, and it doesn't seem to be a good basis to build off a cinematic game. The pretty bad should be kind of obvious, but I'll state three of them: 1) a) It's wildly unbalancing compared to so many things which will...

"I have given careful thought and research to the matters at hand, and would like to offer my opinions, although I am most interested in reaching the point where all of our interests are best served." "I agree with Marcus: this is a generous detail by any standard, and the political fallout...

CP, should we note here if later posts change our mind on earlier posts, or should we edit revised impressions into the posts?

(Other than the sentence about Daniela, none of this is IC, of course, and even that isn't IC quite yet). The issue with most of those selections, is that liber's at levels 0 and 3 are indeed, vital, but that most anybody can write them. In fact, Daniela is going to suggest, in not so many...

For those new to ENWorld, I also recommend clicking on subscribe to thread: your control panel (upper right) will let you know if there is any activity on those threads, and more importantly, you can have ENWorld notify you by email when a new post arrives (either immediately, on a daily, or...

I would note the possibility, as opposed to checking this thread, rather to subscribe to both and this (there's a subscribe to thread at the bottom of any thread). It can notify you when the thread is updated, either immediately, on a daily basis, or a weekly basis.

Daniela's belated introduction... There is a pause of a few seconds as Matteo sits himself in the chair, replaced by the sound of faint scribbling on parchment. The faint scratching continues for a few more very long seconds, until one of the other magi clears their throat, softly. Suddenly...

Since I had this same idea a while back, I found that the greenronin boards have a large number of worked out ideas for this. Just search for M&M fantasy, or whatever genre, and you should get a few ideas for this.

I like the Dragon Mat from Dragon Scale Counters (here ), or specfically, I have about five. They're dirt cheap ($2.00), and are basically dry-erase mats that are the size of a sheet of paper (but much sturdier). While you sacrifice something for large-scale battles (but you can always have a...

If conversion is your kind of thing, then look at Ars Magica. (Search google for "ars magica" d20 for a d20 conversion that will give you a good head start). If mass-conversion isn't your thing, I second the Incantantion thing, although I would be wary of just dropping it in whole sale: those...

circles? I'm really not sure that any of the other stuff is needed: I think GnomeWorks suggestions of a chi-square test is the right test to me: it seems like exactly what we want to do is take an expected distribution for a die, and then compare the actual distribution against it for signs of...
