This morning, the Accursed Kickstarter reached its initial funding goal. When the team started working on Accursed, we were pretty optimistic that we could create something special. When we took the blog live, we were very happy with the response we received. As we started building towards the...

Over on the AccursedRPG site, the development team has been sharing information about the game setting for several months now. We've talked about the nations that make up the game world, the Witches who invaded Morden, the banes they created, and the Witchmarked monsters who battle against them...

In an effort to make up for lost time, HPS#2 follows fairly closely on the heels of the ICONS release of The Substitute. For the first time, we're doing a simultaneous release of both the M&M3E and ICONS versions of the adventure. It's now available on DriveThruRPG.com for just $4.99 Halloween...

HPS #1 The Substitute is now available from DriveThruRPG. Dr. Bailey's acting strangely... even by his usual standards. In Super Science class, he spent the whole time asking us questions. Then, we saw him actually reading sports news. What's going on? The Substitute is a scenario in the HPS...

New Hope Prep Release for ICONS: Orientation, the first scenario for the Hope Preparatory School setting is now available for the ICONS rule system. As new students to Hope Preparatory School, the characters get to tour the facility, meet their classmates, and save the planet. All that before...

We're happy to announce that Melior Via has just released the Hope Preparatory Freshman Handbook for ICONS Superpowered Roleplaying from Adamant Entertainment. This is the same core material featured in the Super-Powered by M&M version, but the Game Mechanics section covering character creation...

Melior Via has two new releases for our Hope Preparatory School setting. Both are now available on DriveThruRPG, and both use the M&M 3E rules system. Orientation! Is an introductory adventure for Hope Prep. Players get to learn about the school at the same time as their characters, who are...

The Hope Preparatory School Freshman Handbook is now available for sale on DriveThruRPG.Com. Hope Preparatory School is a privately funded institution dedicated to preparing tomorrow's metahumans for whatever paths might lie ahead. With a tradition that stretches back over 60 years, a...

I believe the abbreviation was first explicitly used as part of Battlesystem, the D&D miniatures war game which first came out in '85. I remember there were tons of Battlesystem harts for using THAC0, and that they made a big deal about explaining the term in that boxed set. Shortly after that...

One of the posters has a URL in his sig for a D20une Yahoo! Group. If you join that group, you can download a 211 page PDF file, last updated in April 2006. The previous Dune RPG was published by Last Unicorn Games in an extremely limited print run (around 1000 copies). When the company was...

The Screamsheet is a Shadowrun focused bi-weekly podcast. I think they're up to episode 8.

Check out the rubber stamps at www.greendragonstudio.com While it's not technically 3-D, it looks a helluva lot better than normal marker work, and it's just a matter of wiping down the matt again to get rid of it.

Shadowrun 4th Edition was released at GenCon. It should now be available at your FLGS through the normal distribution chain. The PDF is also available through either drivethrurpg.com or battlecorps.com. The latest incarnation is NOT a d20 version. It remains a d6 based game. However, the...

If there's interest in some Shadowrun, I could come down and run something. I GM for the Shadowrun Missions campaign. If people are interested in a session or two, I'd be happy to run a couple games. I'm coming from the Westside of Cleveland. Of course, availability would depend on the...

While this isn't quite from the commercial: Mesmerized: Esuvee's have an innate attraction towards humanoid young. In the event that a herd should pass by a field where children are at play, they will immediately stop all movement and be mesmerized for the duration of whatever game the...

I haven't bought any, but I've repeatedly looked at the figs at Tactical Miniatures. These look like a nice line of high quality 28mm modern figures for about $2/figure. I haven't picked any up yet, but I keep thinking about it.

Modern Magic and The Modern Players Companion, both by The Game Mechanics are two outstanding supplements. MPC adds in a great system for speeding up equipment purchases at character creation. It also provides a nice assortment of reasonably balanced new feats and occupations. Modern Magic...

When they were bought by Topps and Hasbro? OK, mega might be stretching it, but by RPG standards, that's scary-big.

So, this is tangentially related: Fanpro just announced that SR4 will be released at GenCon. A "new" system, but still not d20. Press releases are up on dumpshock here: SR4 Press Release

An alternative approach to this is that a Modern game doesn't have to be hyper-realistic. I run mine as if it were a TV show. I don't need to be a legal expert to enjoy Law and Order. I don't need a degree in Forensics to appreciate CSI. Seinfeld and Friends were both entertaining, even...
