Originally posted by BruceB To be explicit, I have ambitious plans for long-term campaign options in Gamma World, including multi-generational civilization building for those that would like to do that. Hey now, if you're writing rules for that, it does interest me. I shall have to pay closer...

Having picked up d20 Modern the other day, and liking it aside from the clunky names for the classes, I'm wondering if there's a comprehensive sourcebook on modern firearms that can be used with it without any problems. I'm aware of the equipment book for Spycraft, though I haven't looked at...

Not to rain on anyone's parade here, but I am wholly unenthused at the prospect of seeing yet another incarnation of a proven failure like Gamma World. Frankly, I suspect that the only reason it was given so many chances by the old regime at TSR was that it was Jim Ward's game. Despite that...

Good call. That'd be Crimson, right?

Hmmm... Thanks. I expect it to be good. On the other hand, what I'm looking for is more of a "strategic-level play" book, which is what Eden's Fields of Blood sounds like - something that will let me do, say, Birthright in 3E, or in a setting of my choice.

Mine was the magenta-box Basic Set with the Erol Otus cover. My first adventure was the solo Blizzard Pass, which I took at age 10 to be the pinnacle of adventure design. I shortly moved on to The Keep on the Borderlands as soon as I found other kids to play with. Within a year I was doing...

The sample map is indeed absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to get my sweaty hams on this product.

Can you point me to some info on Monte's book on this subject? I'm out of the loop and would appreciate it.

I read the original trilogy when I was 13 years old or so, and enjoyed it very much. Years later, when Scions of Shannara came out, I was excited, picked it up at once, and was dismayed at how amateurish the writing was. Sophomore-level Creative Writing class quality, no better. Enjoyable for...

At the risk of sounding like a pretentious geek, this sounds like Hollywood's typical lame "reimagining" of a long-established, proven product. This is the kind of thing that led to the preposterous Lex Luthor, Evil Kryptonian/FBI Agent Superman script that was floating around for a while...

I can only hope that we will actually see Planetary again.

I don't have a real feel for doing supers in d20, and wouldn't seriously consider running such a game using the system. It seems to me to be the one major genre that any system designed for normal or heroic level characters will have trouble scaling to, at least if you want to do relatively...

There really wasn't much to qualifying as a Full Practitioner... you just had to make the roll, and had, at most a 22% or so chance of doing so. One of the biggest problems I had with DJ was the Partial Practitioners. For "minor spell users," they had preposterous amounts of Heka and a vast...

Same here. I ran the game for 3 years (!) and still have a certain fondness for it, despite relatively huge obstacles. There are a number of interesting and useful ideas in there that I've stolen at various times. In fact, I wonder if a d20 Dangerous Journeys wouldn't be such a bad idea...
