I paged through the book last Friday at my FLGS - felt that it was overpriced for what you got. Again, this is a five minute flip through review (with a couple of days to muddle things up) Cost is the standard AEG $24.95 cost - I do not remember the page count - but it felt thin - about 2/3...

Not to take this even further off topic, but Hey Serpenteye is your avatar a pickture of a Spathi from the Star Control games?

It is also important to note that Geneveue tends towards LN/NG in is tendancies - Thus, while there is certainly intreage - you may have to introduce some additionall sinister elements.

Well, ignoring the whole tricky thing of what exactly a nation is...... The people would average out to be neutral. Governments however, would have some type of lawful bias to them - and that is what gives the "nation" its alignment since its tools of power (army, police, Civil service, etc.)...

Hmmm, The Broncos are looking pretty good - however given the fact that thier opponents are both 0-2 it is hard to judge.... KC is looking like a monster!!! Lets see - despise the Raiders and the Cowboys (and have secretly been wishing that whenever they play eachother the stadium that they...

I have gotten back into Railroad Tycoon 2 Platnium On the Xbox KOTOR and Morrowwind Looking forward to ToEE and Victoria - Empire under the Sun (I am a sucker for the Europa Universalis Engine)

I have not seen anything since the initail announcement/speculation......

It would help a little bit if you could tell us the alignments being used by the party..... However, I have found that playing and running non-good players are no more difficult than good players - given good character backgrounds. These backgrounds provide the motivations needed to get the...

Exactly, it makes me wonder why people are perfectly willing to suspend belief that a Level 5 wizard can hide in plain sight (invis) - but won't for a Level 10 Rogue....... The fact of the matter is the these high level of skills represent such extraordinary people who have focused so much of...

All I have to say is RUN TRUNG RUN!!!!!!!! - oh and don't get hurt becuse I already lost James Stewart for the year...... :mad:

I guess in a lot of ways it comes down to whether you want the natural to immitate the supernatural and how cinematic you want your games to be. There are numerous examples in modern movies of characters performing amazing stunts - why not PC's? In my games - anything is possible - you roll...

Regarding your second point, I simply see those as modifiers to the diplomacy modifier. Your first point is a good one - and one that I had not really considered until you and Voadam brought it up. Yes, you are right, this is reducing a challenge down to a single die roll - but D & D is full...

I tread the differences between Bluff, Diplomacy and Intimidate as follows: Bluff - Represents some manner of trickery/innuendo which attempts to advance the Bluffer without giving up anything - it has serious consequences if failed - in effect - the perception that the bluffer lied. Diplomacy...

I am curious to find out if any ones records thier sessions - and what they get out of them. While not actively considering this, I am looking for a way of 1) retroactively evaluating my performance as a DM 2) picking up plot hooks that I simply missed - the PCs always supply the best ones...

Most WWI games that I have seen are at the divisional/corps level - things like Operational Art of War - and given what you are describing, this should fit your bill - while not shareware, it should be pretty cheap (i.e. less than $5) Most paper based games focus on a specific battle - I think...

Oh, I absolutely agree that skill value is highly dependent on context - but all things being equal - skills should have similar value. That being said, I beleive that a DM should inform PCs if a skill is not going to have value - or at a minimum saying that this is a Politically heavy...

Oh, and the other piece of advice (probably much more usefull than my last rambling) Get your finances in order if you feel that there is even a chance of being laid off. Reduce expenses, budget and overall exhibit rational finances. This will do a couple of things: 1) If you are laid off...

My sympathies - and The big telco in Overland Park is never fun to deal with - they change their directions about every other month - Thank god they are not my customer anymore. I do not know if my story will help anyone or not. In 2000 I joined a leadership company in the CRM (Customer...

Pielorinho - no, not you in specific (although I can understand why you would think that) - but more to the general attitude of the thread. And - as far as doing everything the PC thinks it does - that is more than fair - especially since they want everything for nothing. I will say, that I am...

Why is it not desireable???? (I agree under the current system it is inevitable) As Merova states - skill points and Feats are in effect currency that we build our characters from - thereby setting the relative costs of all abilities of characters. Thus, if Diplomacy is ony 25% as usefull as...
