    AEG Loses Stargate SG-1!!!

    Best guess is they both are. Sony probably asked for more money than AEG was willing to pay. From AEG's pov, Sony chose not to renew (at AEG's price), and from Sony's pov AEG chose not to renew (at Sony's price).

    How do I deal with a player that kills his character on purpose?

    I've kind of done this before - I had a Paladin I'd gotten tired of, so I got maybe a little reckless with him in battle. When he died (not entirely his fault), I declined him being back to life and brought in a character one level lower. Half character level seems an extreme penalty. Do you...

    Call of Cthulhu d20 Preservation Society

    I like it too. I'm currently developing a cute one-shot in the vein of Steve Jackson's 'Munchkin d20' and 'Space Munchkin' OGL games, called 'Cthulhu Munchkin', which I'm going to run at GenghisCon this next weekend. The basic idea of it is to turn a lovecraftian story into more of an action...

    Sudden Metamagic Feats Rock!

    This reminded me - I was in one of the local game stores a few weeks ago, and saw a stack of these going for $15 each. I think the combination of how heavily it's been mined and the split between miniature and rpg rules has really weakened demand of the book. (looks on ebay) Yeah... looks like...

    DMG II - tidbits from Andy Collins!

    If I remember correctly, it's a book on gamemastering, both mechanical bits and general advice. Given there's only a few pure gamemastering books out there (ranging from 'Robin's Laws of Gaming' all the way up to the unfortunately expensive 'Game Mastering Secrets'), I'm always looking forward...

    Roll Call of Published EN Worlders!

    Green Ronin: Kicking A and taking names!

    Yeah - I've just picked up 'Trojan War' and 'Skull & Bones' from a sale. S&B has been pretty good so far - makes me want to play. :) Go Green Ronin!

    Sci-fi RPG

    Huh - looks interesting. I'll keep an eye open to see how it goes, although I don't have a copy of d20 future.

    Sci-fi RPG

    I'll second the recommendation of GURPS Transhuman space, and follow that up with GURPS Space in general - For most science fiction games, if there wasn't already a game out there for the setting, I'd start with GURPS and trim. The exceptions would be more cinematic/less realistic games, which...

    What did you do with your 3.0 PHB/DMG/MM when you updated to 3.5?

    Unearthed Arcana *hugs her copy*

    My "must use" sections right now are Racial Paragon Classes, Metamagic components, and Magic Rating, as my campaign is already in full swing and I don't want to change things too much. Other bits we may slide in are Traits/Flaws, variant classes, and Spontanious Metamagic II - although the...

    Waiting for my Unearthed arcana to arrive

    Hmmm... There's a "Druidic Avenger" variant and a "spontanious casting" divine variant... I assume the first? What level will he be? This assumes first. a) Remove Diplomacy from class skills, add Intimidate b) No animal companion c) Fast Movement (Ex): As per barbarian d) Rage (Ex): as per...

    Mahou Shoujo - a BESM inspired Advanced Class

    Hmm... Seems interesting. Some small problems, though: 1) I don't think the Knowledge is a good requirement. Many magical girls become one by accident, almost. But it's hard to say what would be a good requirement. 2) I'd widen up the range of possible critters for the guardian beast. They...

    Has enthusiasm died?

    I'll admit the price-point makes me cringe, but of the two reviews I found for the book on the internet, one liked it (4 on rpg.net) and the other thought the rules were good for the cybernetics, but that it could have used a lot more on what cyberpunk is. What about the content is brutal? -john

    Has enthusiasm died?

    How about Digital Burn by Living Room Games? It's a Cyberpunk supplement that is supposed to be d20 Modern or d20 Modern compatible, and I'm pretty sure it's got cybernetics rules. -john

    Arcane and Psionic classes in SRD?

    *nod* I need to think of this as more of an asset than a problem - it means that whatever Advanced classes I create will fit my gameworld better. :) But thanks for the info. -john

    Arcane and Psionic classes in SRD?

    Hi all. I'm a recent convert to the d20 Modern system. I wasn't really into it at first, but having looked over the SRD, I've become to really like the idea of it all. But while reading in the SRD, I saw that it referred to classes that I assume are in the D20 Modern book, but haven't been...

    Has enthusiasm died?

    I like the wealth system so much I'm considering adding it to my CoC game. And this isn't d20 CoC - I'm talking old-style BRP Call of Cthulhu. I've been reading the d20 Modern SRD, and I'm liking it more the more I look at it... and I'm sketching out a possible gameworld to maybe try...
