maybe you're playing for different reasons than i am. i play to have fun. i know i could make some unreasonable calls, i know my players could do the same, and i know we really don't care, as long as the plot goes on, everybody is happy with the way the sessions are run, and everybody thinks...

if i can throw in my tuppence, i believe that the strength of rules light games is the flavour text. or the price. in other words: there are either less pages in the book (and so it is cheaper), or much more flavour text, random ideas, art, and so on. personally, i love rule light systems, BUT...

the funny thing is that the opposite is true... i have managed to have many special favours, through the years, just because i'm "that nice guy"... things i wouldn't have got if i was unpolite. it is also true that sometimes people take advantage of niceness and politeness, though. :I

if that helps, you are not alone, in feeling that when you are courteous to somebody, they misunderstand you. i try to be nice with everybody, when i can, but i noticed that the majority (90%) of girls that i know try to avoid me, as if chatting and being polite and helpful means that i'm making...

I live in newcastle, tyne and wear. apparently it is a land of blonde women, booze drinkers, newcastle united fans, all talking a weird language they call "geordie", which has nothing to do with english. i'm sure there are more prejudices about it (i'm aware of some of them, too), but i'll let...

the idea is going somewhere that can give me the chance to widen my studies towards the classical direction. for some reason, my tutor believes that going to france to study classical music is a bad idea (mostly because he says they are too focused into that to understand why somebody from a...

oh, it's not that different in Newcastle... but at least, you do have time to go out and see those gigs... :) but, hey, who says i can't become ubiquitous... ;)

tell me more about the girl... ;) seriously, thanks for the feedback. I am planning to majoring in composition, and to play on my own (well, not just on my own... what i really mean is "outside the curriculum"). i was in boston at the berklee college of music for two semesters and i hope that...

hello all. i am currently a music student in newcastle-upon-tyne, uk. my program allows me to go abroad in my third year (2006/2007). chances are that i might end up in the usa... but where?!? i have two possibilities: Austin, Texas (university of Texas) or Urbana-Champaign, Illinois...

you can also go the rifts and gurps fantasy (soon-ish to be gurps banestorm) route: the cataclysm has opened a dimensional portal where the gnolls, ogres, goblins, [your humanoid monster of the week here] came from. they're all from different dimensions. the portal can either be still open, or...

you might have missed this ...

Apart from the poll question, is the plot based on the comic books? please, don't include spoilers! (neither from the film or from the comics... i haven't read all of them yet!) thanks! :)

GURPS lite is free at www.sjgames.com and, qell, rule light. else, try fudge. also free (just type it into google, and you will get the link) and completely editable. in fact it could be seen as a rpg construction engine. i hope this helps.

GURPS Call of cthulhu Hackmaster WoD (old and new) soon, Warhammer FRP (again!)

It's true, some mechanics in the 3rd edition of the rules produced the same result with different mechanics and even with different point costs. This was one of the specific goals behind a new edition: get away with that, and present a unified system that lets you decide about the specific of...

Simple: it's a meta-setting. You have one central world and the possibility to travel to alternate world/ timelines/ dimensions. Since the setting is very unobstrusive, and its presence in the book is rather minimal (aprat from the chapter in the Book 2), GURPS is still very generic. if you...

Common problem? I guess I'm *VERY* lucky, then. I have a big collection of GURPS books (50+ books) and I never experienced a problem with the binding. It looks like they sold all the crappy copies to rpg.net people... :p Mistakes happen, anyway. I know for a fact (and directly for the horse...

one more reason to stop yourself, take some deep breath, spit out the bad thoughts, and start to live again. i think that the advice of seeing a specialist is too extreme, IF you decide to leave some of your stress behind, and see help from your friends. talk with them. endlessly. listen...

Ot: i know that song. i thought i was the only person on earth!

i was left by my fiancée at the start of june. it was one of the worst thing that could happen to me. believe me when i say that i *truly* loved her. i felt for her what you're feeling for your current girlfriend. i felt she was the One. when i found out that she had cheated on me, that she...
