Or a "mule-again".

I have run a few games for just 2 players to good effect. I think almost any game can be run for 2 players, but some lend themselves to the effort more easily. Savage Worlds is at the top of the list. It is easy to run, and the core rules easily incorporate extras to help the heroes. That...

The real issue for you is that d20 is dead. That is why there are no more Wild West (WW) or Post-Apocalyptic (PA) d20 games. The OGL lives on and that style D&D / fantasy remains popular, which is why Pathfinder is so successful; but it is a niche market within a niche market. My suggestion...

I don't want nerfed jedi. I would offer (read: expect) the player characters all to be jedi aspirants. That's why they're on Tatooine looking for Obi Wan Kenobi (maybe at Mos Eisley or Anchorhead) when they get an assignment to find some droids. Their rebel affiliation helps explain why they...

The most fun I had playing Star Wars was in a Revised (d20) all-jedi game. So, I would like to see a return to that game. Ideally, miniatures would be incorporated as I really like the visual & tactile elements that minis give. The older RPGs and the minis were not well integrated. I've got...

I ran a weird war Rome game before that book was available. It was very fun & flexible. I recommend the Fantasy Companion, which you have. Also, the one-page d20 conversion guidelines on the company web site and the free Savage Beasts download that has many fantasy monsters in it.

Here's another recommendation for Savage Worlds. I also enjoy Dungeon Crawl Classics. It is not exactly light, but it plays easily; and I think it gives that old school feeling. http://www.goodman-games.com/5070preview.html

I trust Goodman Games to get it done. I just don't think it will be a game that I get to play if I back it on Kickstarter, even though a friend in my gaming group emailed me about it when the KS first went live.

tempting..but... It is tempting, but I backed another Metamorphosis Alpha Kickstarter a long while back that hasn't been fulfilled. I am sure Goodman Games will do a much better job of delivery. The real issue for me is that I don't want to wind up with another awesome game that I will never...

Savage Worlds is a purchase that I do not regret. I still buy many supplements for it. I don't keep them all, but it is one game that remains on my shelf.

Yes, but I am trying to curtail future purchases. I like getting books, reading them, and using them in play. Just owning them to no other purpose I actually don't like.

For me, it comes down to genre portability. Savage Worlds (predictably) and d20 (ironically) have been the best systems for me in those respects. The best generic system I've found is Savage Worlds. I love it. But, we mainly play it without magic so the experience is skewed. d20 is a...

Yep, I fell I love with it with Revised. Gaming is on hold for me for much of 2014 due to RL concerns, but I still love Savage Worlds.

Try Savage Worlds. I find it much more sustainable.

I like RPGs as do most of the other players left in our group. But there is a minority of D&D-only. I think D&D is a fine game, and it is the RPG lingua franca; but I enjoy variety and I need a change after a while.

The newest Gamma World (GW) is all mutants on the random character generation tables except for the engineered human result if you roll the same base origin result twice. You could let everyone choose to play engineered humans, but there would be little difference in all the player characters...

Have you looked at the newest version of Gamma World? The box set comes with an adventure. Each of the 2 expansion box sets, Famine on Far-Go and Legion of Gold, has a big adventure. They are based on the old, classic modules. It would all be the basis for a good campaign. The new game is a...

I think you're doing 2 good thing by taking a (baby) break and then being a player for a while. Those steps have worked for me in the past to recharge my gaming batteries. I also suggest playing a different game, or a different genre, or both. I really like Savage Worlds because it is so...

Yeah, I just looked in my Savage Worlds Explorer's Edition and Quickness gives an extra action - not another whole turn. And Deflection seems to act like armor. So, what you have is a mage emulating a fighter with a 2-weapon build (Ambidexterity and Two-Fisted) and light to heavy armor. It...

Sad. More sad that he is going through bankruptcy and divorce. I hope he doesn't lose his job on top of it.
