I think the earlier edition has more useful fluff than the current edition of Con X. The current corebook is very system focused.

Different groups have had more or less of this problem. My current group has zero problem, because it's so important to everyone to get together and have fun. In the past my perspective has been that if folk are regularly making other plans then they're not respecting my time and the time of...

Yeah, this is my immediate response as well. That said, I'm more likely to "deal with it." I instinctually want to fix problems. It's unfortunate.

MMOs use crafting systems to extend the play experience. In fact, a great many of their features incorporate ways to delay players from reaching the 'end' and thereby increasing revenue. Plenty of RPGs have systems for creating goods, from gadgets (Spirit of teh Century) to simple book items...

Two more thoughts that don't quite mesh with what your'e going for, but might be worth considering: 1. Dark Ages Vampire is just an earlier, historical version of Masquerade with some Clan and setting changes. Exploring crypts seeking the cup of Christ and raiding temples for vampire...

Eat at least one meal at The Ram, a local restaraunt that maintains a wonderfully geeky atmosphere during the con. Make a list of people you'd really like to meet and try to make it happen. Don't burn yourself out too quickly! A little bit of pacing can really help.

Green Ronin put out Fang and Fury for 3.0, which was essentially blending the two together. Monte Cook's World of Darkness does a fantastic job of combining the d20 system with a reimagined WoD. Review. Vampire: The Requiem is quite solid, and I've reviewed a fair bit of the line if you're...

Is clicking on a download link too much of a hardship? Yikes! I'm not trying to put myself in the line of fire here - I love the ENnies and the podcasters! I just don't understand how a download link uses up more of the judge's time than a CD. Maybe other folk are different, but the first...

I really enjoy listening to podcasts. I remember meeting Ryan at Gen Con last year, when I was totally pumped on Sons of Kryos (and no doubt yelled too loudly for them during the ENnies). He struck me as a real nice guy, and I immediately checked out his podcast when I got back home. While it...

I'll take Friday 2pm - 4pm! I may not be there 10 minutes before, but I'll be there by 2.

I can't say that I have. I've played in mostly female groups, mostly male groups, and briefly in an all male group. The only real difference was that there were more female PCs in the groups with more women. Then again, by far I tend to be playing with married folk and have for some time.

We'll be driving past Lexington from Knoxville Thursday morning, probably around 9am. If you haven't found transportation by Gen Con time and still need help then just drop me an email and I'll see what we can do.

And the event begins! Please feel free to stop in all week long for RPG reviews and fantasy themed threads.

RPGnet is hosting Fantasy Week on the week of June 16th. Our reviews for that week are all fantasy themed, and reviewers have an opportunity to win an enormous variety of prizes. Wizards of the Coast, White Wolf, Red Brick, and Evil Hat are all offering amazing prizes for the event. Don't...

I love the book club idea, Crothian! It seeks to provide interesting discussion while injecting a bit of non-d20 gaming into the forums. I've read and played Og. It's a terrific game for when you want to just be silly with a bit of structure - not unlike Toon in that respect. I think it...

It's basically just the WOTC boards now. It boggles the mind to consider how much money was wasted on this project. Even the service itself is unenforced. The reviews and blogs sections are often just ads (or even random posts), and there's no attempt to encourage user content creation or to...

I was very easily running the movie in Spirit of the Century in my head while I watched it. Declarations, Stunts, scene Aspects, the works. I highly recommend Spirit of the Century for that feel.

Meetup is an excellent suggestion. AccessDenied is also useful, but since the site doesn't purge its data you may go through a lot of entries before you find someone. I've had a lot of luck with the Pen and Paper player registry.

What's truly shocking about this is that Gaming Report got a scoop. ;)

Next week is Actual Play Review Week at RPGnet and we need reviews! Share your thoughts on a recent dungeon adventure or the latest supplement you used in play and help the community while potentially winning a prize from Evil Hat or Blue Devil Games! Event information here!
