Perhaps a Dark Matter campaign using the Spycraft rules where the alien conspiracy is a bunch of Cthulhu worshipping Drow out of the Dragonstar setting?? I would try to fit some Dark Inheritance stuff in too -- perhaps the Titan powers from that are the result of ancient Atlantean eugenics...

My list goes like: Jonathan Tweet Robin Laws Greg Stoltze Denis Dettweiler ***** I'm sort of a mechanics fan and all those guys have come up, repeatedly, with really interesting ways of doing things. It's too bad that we haven't got much chance to see them really play around with the d20...

Just a note, I was under the impression that Ferret had in mind a system similar to the following: You receive a number of Endurance points equal to your Constitution. Abilities like Metamagic can be spontaneously applied and use Endurance points equal to the level adjustment of the Metamagic...

I think both the Libertarian, minimal laws, and Anarcho-Syndicalist, no laws but we all get along, pictures could model Chaotic Good states. Although, any state would be composed of a plurality of viewpoints and thus not be purely one alignment or another.

I used to be bothered by the X/day format -- flavorwise it just felt arbitrary. However I always did like the fact it gave players a little extra resource to call on in emergencies or use to make strategic decisions. Ferret's idea of some kind of endurance points that you use to fuel special...

I didn't have any problem with Acro Reader 7 either. But I've only got the free downloads so I'm not sure if that applies to the paid ones.

It sounds like Spycraft would be worthwhile to look at. The class system promotes sticking to one class (or one class and a prestige class) and I thought the budget and gadget points worked well for outfitting characters. If you want some powered elements added in, Dark Inheritance -- the...

One of my games I did the by the book calculations -- another I simply gave the players a level every four game sessions. The non CR method was easier and might have helped promote doing things other than going after goals -- however, in my by the book game the players didn't just focus on...

You must have missed it -- the crash already happened.

I just want to say a thread composed of death notices for all the characters devoured by the WLD is very cool.

I picked this up recently and am enjoying it quite a bit. I like the move to Spycraft since Spycraft has all that keen investigative support, favor checks, and the budget points + resource/gadget points for further character differentiation. Unfortunately, I don't have a group currently so it's...

"Experts" by Skirmisher press is an obscure little gem and I think available on Amazon. That company has been impressing me -- I picked up another of their books called "Tests of Skil"l, which is a collection of skill and roleplaying oriented encounters (that you can drop into a campaign)...

BTW, what is the difference between the autobuild and non-autobuild versions?

It does seem faster and quite smooth. There was a little lag after hitting the New Character button, but after that all the switching around went quickly. BTW, kudoes to the team for a great job on all the work and revisions! I really like the new char sheet preview window -- it's nice not...

I don't think it's necessary to have the CS -- can the DM at least borrow your book for a bit to check out the feats and races? The scenario did strike me as a little hard -- so it might be worthwhile to run the short scenario in the back of the ECS book, and, if you can get it, the short...

Call of Cthulhu has bunches of them -- practically the best part of the game. "Masks of Nyarlathotep" is the best module/campaign I've ever run -- twice. There was also one book with a couple scenarios that were particularly good -- can't remember the book but one of the scenarios was a sort...

This one sounds like fun. I suspect both films will only benefit from the added publicity.

I don't mind the non-d20 reviews here either. And it's nice to be able to see some of the staff reviewers, since I trust them and already have a feel for their tastes, take a look at other products. Categorization does sound like a good idea to me. I'd think just two categories, d20 and...

I agree, Joe. Sturgeon's law is full of crap...

I'm curious what advantages other than the possible bonus of DRM a smaller publisher would see from DTRPG. DTRPG takes a larger cut. You should get more traffic to the main webpage since people go there to look for White Wolf books. [This IS a benefit, but see the next item.] Will you get...
