    A GAME OF THRONES = Dead!!!

    Hi Yves, I threw an online tantrum at the GoO forums calling the owner out on the issue. That precipitated everyone (or at least what I thought was everyone) who preordered getting pdfs of the promised "bonus gifts"--but only if you emailed Mark directly. Never underestimate an angry guy with...

    A GAME OF THRONES = Dead!!!

    :uhoh: Everyone hoped GoO would stay afloat, but that doesn't seem to be the case... Jesse Scoble was the only vocal AGOT writer on the GoO forums but has long since disappeared; last anyone heard, he had since moved on to WW (freelance?). He might know something. BTW: All this negative info...

    A GAME OF THRONES = Dead!!!

    Yeah, it totally sucks. On a more positive note, I thought I should mention that the remaining AGOT GoO Forum members are slowly moving the important fan material and house rules threads over to a new forum: http://z7.invisionfree.com/AGOT_RPG Because this transference to the new board is a...

    Blade: The Series -- 2006.06.28 SPOILERS

    Sticky Fingaz, huh? LOL. Who the hell can respect an actor with a name like that? I wonder where he got his fingers all sticky, lol--it sure wasn't from taking a dip in the talent pool! :p

    A GAME OF THRONES = Dead!!!

    Free pdfs of the bonus gifts are better than nothing, but that's not what I contracted for when I preordered. I was also supposed to get the book at least 30 days before it hit stores, but I got it after people at GenCon and after it was already out in stores. What the hell? Smooth move...

    Blade: The Series -- 2006.06.28 SPOILERS

    I'm watching it now, but I can't follow the lame plot, hate all the crappy actors and will not be watching it ever again. It's not even moderately entertaining, just more worthless braindead garbage clogging up my channels. :(

    A GAME OF THRONES = Dead!!!

    Looks like Guardians of Order is going out of business and ripping everybody off... I never got my A GAME OF THRONES d20 "bonus gifts" (GM's Screen and Adventure) for preordering the AGOT Deluxe Limited Edition and it's been a freakin' year since I preordered, lol. I did get pdfs of the "bonus...

    RPGNow vs. DriveThruRPG?

    What's the difference between RPGNow.com vs. DriveThruRPG.com as a consumer and/or publisher? Why are some publishers signing "exclusives" with DriveThru? As a consumer or publisher, are you generally pleased with one, the other or neither website? Do you generally see more sales through...

    Age of Empires III review

    Played Age of Empires III and it's pretty much the same old thing as before only not as cool as Age of Mythology. New features include heroes with special abilities and can gain XP to get bonus goodies/troops sent to your colony from your "home city" in Europe. You get to choose between two...

    Why do console games suck so bad???

    Now, if you were only female and not too far away, LOL. :lol: But seriously folks, I'm in agreement with whoever said there used to be so many "cool" games being released you could never play 'em all, and nowadays you're lucky to have one or two come out per year that are of interest... and...

    HELP!!! God of War - STUCK in the Challenge of Hades

    How'd you guess? :heh:

    Why do console games suck so bad???

    Hated Nintendo; controllers were not rounded on edges and hurt my palms to hold. Never played Zelda, Metroid, etc. I was exclusively a Sega Genesis player (Sonic rules! LOL), then moved on to Sega CD and 3DO and then PS1 to play Suikoden I + II and Resident Evil I-III. I only play RE to shoot...

    Why do console games suck so bad???

    I'm over 30 and have extreme difficulty remembering multi-button combo moves, let alone successfully implementing them in stressful situations. I was raised on Atari 2600, Colecovision and arcade games like Donkey Kong, LOL. I could handle Sega Genesis and even 3DO, but once things starting...

    Gun

    I could barely "master" the controls to shoot, and found the horse racing section of the training impossible to beat after five or six attempts. So straight in the trash it goes (this means back to Blockbuster as I don't buy console games just CRPGs, LOL). YMMV. Darkwatch was a much better...

    Gun

    GUN: The new Rated "M" western game sucks! Looked so cool in the TV commercials... The "story" is so cliche it hurts. The graphics ain't that great on the PS2. Warning: If you're over 30 with little ability to remember multi-button combo moves and move cursors around in a 3-D environment, do...

    HELP!!! God of War - STUCK in the Challenge of Hades

    Quit playing. After this point, the game is no longer God of War but God of Traps. All deadly, one after another,with not enough combat and no way to bypass. The game sucks and I died a million times trying to get past. I made it to the spinning blade beams highwire act and that was it. Straight...

    Thieves World

    Thanks for the detailed answer; I appreciate it. I kinda figured it was to keep your version as close to D&D as possible to make it easier to just "drop in" to an existing setting other than TW, as from what I can recall, the rest of the TW setting was sketchy at best. Admittedly, I only...

    Thieves World

    Why was a new magic system with new spells not designed for TW? Slotting in standard D&D magic doesn't seem setting appropriate to me. YMMV.

    Survey Respondents Requested

    I'd suggest changing the name "neiyar" to something different. The name looks/sounds like "nyah", the sound people make when they stick out their tongues and hold their fingers up to their ears, waggling them like antlers at you... It's like AEG's Warriors of the Accordlands sounds like Warriors...
