Currently not playing, but writing a campaign for Icons loosely based on DC's New52 Earth2.

That's really awesome. Thanks for the update!

I always had wished Farscape could have had more focus. Maybe someone will pick it up because it deserves an RPG with how messed up, muppets-on-acid, that world is. I want to thrown in my vote for G.I.Joe, Transformers, Thundarr (what got me into post apocalyptic stories), Dune, He-Man...

OK, I don't watch any podcasts so I don't have much to say on what is ruining them or not. But, do the guys launching the Kickstarters get interviewed or is it just their potential products that get reviewed?

Hi, I recently picked up ICONS and was curious if there is a book to handle longer games and XP reward systems? If not, has anyone played a long running game of ICONS? How did you handle character creation? Did you implement an xp reward system? How did it go over with your players? What would...

Really, when you have that much to work in story wise, most of it will be hand waving imbalances and such. So you might as well go with something that doesn't have a lot of crunch and leaves it up to interpretation, especially for a 1-2 shot session. Also, with it being a short run, levels and...

They may be denying a complete buyout, but they haven't denied a partial one. Disney could be interested in certain IP's, like: Transformers. Imagine Disney getting a hold of that and making it a part of their theme parks (Cybertron-land). Not to mention the movies, TV shows, toys and games...

In the games we played it was the lack of obvious dread that created more dread. It was the idea of poking our hands around under the car in hopes of finding the car keys we dropped and hoping we don't find something else first. You want the players to poke around and wonder if the next time...

The key to a good game is atmosphere. The people over at yog-sothoth.com are great for advice. Some advice for you and your players: If you have a gun, remember to save a bullet for yourself. Have the players create several investigators and have them on stand-by for when one dies the next one...

It depends on the genre. CoC does fine without an actual level base system. They reward you with skill progression and survival (although the latter isn't always a reward). Some other genres do fine with level based systems but I am sure they would be just as fine without. In my own...

As another note about the new IKRPG, they will not be rereleasing the Witchfire trilogy for the new system. Rejoice/despair, that is up to you and how you feel.

The transition is not as easy as it would seem. I don't have the RPG, but the developers have said: PPS_Simon - "It was not our intention to make WARMACHINE: the RPG. If it had been, we would definitely have created rules modelling the puissant warcasters and warlocks familiar to players of...

Really, you can port characters from the miniatures wargame to the RPG? So I could make a Butcher playable character, based off of his stats in Warmachine, for example?

Yeah, had planned on running them through events that lead up to BN. So this would be things I come up with, Sinestro Corps. War, and then Blackest Night. So they won't start off having any rings of any color, just their own powers/abilities. Then, as story progresses into BN, they will earn...

I guess they could do the Superman thing and fly counter rotation around the world fast enough to turn back time, essentially time traveling. :} With the ring being only limited by the imagination of the wearer, you would get something very close to unlimited wishes. Ok, the other...

Green Lantern (GL) Power Ring (according to wiki): No hard upper limit to the power ring's capabilities has yet been demonstrated; it is often referred to as "the most powerful weapon in the universe." The power ring's most distinctive effect is the generation of green, solid-light constructs...

Would MHR be able to replicate the power of the Green Lantern rings, and all of the other rings as well? From what I am finding, that particular power is quite powerful. Seems like, from other forums, replicating the rings powers can border on breaking a game. How would MHR handle this?

Hm, let me see if I can explain more of what I am looking for. I want an epic game, but not straight out the gate. The players have to feel like they have a part in this, not just something that happened to them...but that is more on me then it is the system. I want an element of danger, like...

M&M is heavy in character creation, and awkward in combat (IMHO). My players have taken a liking to games like Gamma World 4e and Savage Worlds. The level of crunch M&M/Champions/etc...turns them off. They don't mind, at the most, medium crunch but not any more then that. I know SW has their...

So, been thinking of running a super heroes game in the DC universe, during "Blackest Night". I currently own M&M but am not too impressed with the ease of it...and I know my players would resist it, can't blame them. So I want to know if there is a system out there that isn't heavy like M&M...
