WW has already noted in press releases that the new World of Darkness will feature an updated Storyteller system.

You must understand that Lovecraft himself never read the Necronomicom. He merely had a description of it in his father's papers, who himself only briefly saw a copy a high-level meeting of the Ancient Rite of Mizraim & Memphis. The CoC stats are more accurate than Lovercaft's story in most...

One of the manuals in the original Greyhawk boxed set had a list.

What do I call followers of Nerull? Rat bastards, mostly.

In all the groups I've played in magic and non-magic have always been handled separately. Non-magic (i.e. GPs in various forms) has usually been split evenly, occasionally held in common. Magic has always been either given to the one person that can use the item in question, given to the...

He and a few others are mentioned in the intro in the 1st edition PHB.

I still have my Zarak, evil half-orc assassin, figure. :)

Dwarf fighter 6, as I recall.

MST3K: "Master Ninja Theme Song! Boom-chicka-boom-chicka-boom-chicka!" Also I have developed a habit, based upon an Old Man Murray article, of announcing a session's Start To Crate rating. PCs find a treasure chest, I glance up at the clock "Hmm. Start to crate one hour forty minutes...

It will probably be called "Castle Zagig". According to the Troll Lords website, if the Troll Lords produce rules to his liking, Gary said he would write it up for the Castles & Crusades project.

BESM d20's Dynamic Sorcery rules uses "energy points".

These sorts of discussions have been going on since probably at least 1975, when the thief was added in Supplement I: Greyhawk. Heck, many a day I think the seven classes from the '81 Basic/Expert set would do just fine for most purposes. That being said, if specialty mages exist in the rules...

I ran "rescue princess from dragon" to great effect once. Three keys to making it work: 1) The dragon needs to be tough enough to whomp the party in a stand-up fight BUT 2) It needs to be weak enough that a good attack plan MIGHT work against it 3) Make it possible, but not easy, to...

Well Ranger and Paladin come with their own baggage of assumptions and alignments. Spellsword, Bladesinger & Veteran Wizard I am unfamiliar with. I certainly am aware of the existence of multiclassing rules. I didn't say the kind of characters I like were impossible, I am merely celebrating...

Frankly, I don't know if the Unfettered or Mageblade are underpowered or not, but they sure as heck strike me as the exact kind of classes I have always wanted to play in D&D. If getting exactly the kind of classes I wanted means playing second fiddle to Warmains and Magisters, so be it. After...

Howdy! (Not quite first or second, but close.)

I'll second Pogue on this one. The Game Room in Washington is a nifty little store and the folks who run it are first rate, if you can stand the tobacco cloud.

I like BESM d20. If I hadn't gotten the Arcana Unearthed bug I'd probably already be running a game for it. I may use it in the future for S. John Ross' excellent Uresia setting. I would definitely take a look at products that use its SRD. At the moment I feel no need to create such a...

I selected Other. My first campaign used the core rules only. The new campaign I am working on is primarily Arcana Unearthed with some material from Bastion Press (Minions, Torn Asunder, possibly Airships). I may use some stuff from BESM d20 as well.

Does anyone know if Bastion Press's sourcebook Airships can be used for simple hot air balloons? I've wanted to use a balloon in a fantasy game ever since I played Ultima IV in the good ol' days.
