Currently, M&M 3rd edition is the licensed system for DC Heroes, so every character from the DC universe should already be statted out for M&M. The M&M 2nd ed book Instant Superheroes is full of archetypes that more-or-less cover the rest (and also some of the DC characters, only all at PL 10)...

You mean, something like THIS?

I'm curious how you would handle task resolution in a game that used dice at all without either a target number or number of successes. Why use the dice at all? See how far you can throw it? Even though d%/5 ~ d20, neither = XdY. Bell shaped curves mean non-linear values for a simple "+1"...

Any point-buy system is superficially the same as nearly any other, but saying "roll a die, beat a number" means two games are the same mechanically is pure insanity. Really now, Shadowrun and Savage Worlds could both fall under that broad category, but they are nowhere near the same...

Like that's ever stopped them before. Not aimed at anyone in particular, but I swear, some people would buy a cowpatty if it came in a pretty box that said "Dungeons and Dragons" on the lid.

I'd go Heroscape or Pathfinder Beginner Box. Or both.

Then you wait until they aren't in an open space with clear line of sight! Duh! (They gotta take a dump sometime, unless they don't eat, breathe or sleep....)

Using a Helm of Teleportation to get a backstab is SO bush-league. Every REAL assassin knows you use oil of etherealness. Actually, two oils, one for you and one for your Stoneskin-triggering apprentice.

AND the user didn't need to eat, sleep or breathe! (Inside joke in referrence to those properties being tacked on to tons of items from the 2nd ed Forgotten Realms, almost as an afterthought.) This thread reminded me of another one. Some guy at a con playing 1st ed AD&D knew just enough about...

This website has a picture of a set. These are NOT my dice, but the other set. These came from a different meteor, and mine have only been out of the glass case once since I got them. I can post a pic of mine if you like, but I have to get my copies of "Dirty Jokes and Beer", "Samurai Cat" and...

You too eh? I swear, I am a freak-magnet. If I'm browsing any RPG material in a store, someone will walk right up to me, stand a little to close to me, breathe like a pervert on an obscene phone call for 5 minutes while staring right at me (as I flee to my happy place and try to pretend they...

I'm away from home just now, but as I recall, the certificate they came with says they are from "Pomba B" from a Peruvian impact, IIRC. I also believe that there were only 2 full sets of meteorite dice made, and they were auctioned off and never sold publicly. A handfull of d6s and d20s were...

I too have a massive collection of several rpgs dating back over 30 years, but the single most expensive item has to be my engangement gift from my wife: a complete set of polyhedron dice made from meteorite from Crystal Caste. I think she dropped somewhere around $600-$700 on eBay for them.

On the one hand, I'm very excited to see Paizo expanding the brand footprint like this. Nothing says a tabletop RPG has hit the bigtime like a major computer game release. Making it an MMO is just x10. On the other hand, I've seen lots of good MMOs not just tank, but face-first nosedive into...

Judging by the ammount of money he's got pledged already (over 70% in less than a week), I'd say this is definately going to happen. I liked how at a certain donation threshold JJF would personally fly to your house with a signed batch of hardbacks, run a multi-hour session for you to teach you...

All of these are potentially amazing. All of these can be actually amazing with a brown/black wash or dip.

Ahem... "There it is!"

Wow, and I thought the international concensus was that Americans were rude?? 1) The ENies are about more than D&D, obviously; 2) Not only do Americans living outside of Indiana go to Gen Con, but in fact, people from all over the world attend; 3) Your post implies that only non-Americans have...

In my old Scarred Lands game, I had an NPC contact get mauled publicly (by the fountain of the city's main plaza, albeit at night) by an ivisible stalker with the far realm spawn and mist creature templates. Something invisible and (unseeable with magic) made of mist with dozens of tentacles...

Yeah..... So, um, congrats to all the winners? Yay?
