Off the top of my head the only ones I can remember managing to read cover to cover were the Knights of the Old Republic Campaign Guide, the Star Wars Saga Edition core book, and the 3E FRCS. I recall trying at various times to read the Player's Handbooks cover to cover for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and...

Browsing the vBulletin documentation for version 3.7 (the most recent I could find at their site), it looks like the date format is an administrator setting. This page documents the date and time settings. If I'm reading it correctly, the setting should be under vBulletin Options > vBulletin...

There are two sheets I'm aware of floating around on the Gleemax Star Wars forums. One is by KenadBroki, and is in a thread titled something like "Don't Call It a Generator BUT...." That sheet uses macros and only runs on Excel. No idea what material it contains, since I only have Open...

I strongly prefer Saga to 4E. A large part of that is rules, but there's no denying that the setting itself is significant as well. I grew up on Star Wars. I knew all about wookies, Jedi, droids, and Death Stars long before I'd ever heard of dwarves, elves, dragons, or dungeons. From a rules...

In my view there are a few things a company needs to do to keep their customers happy. Make products which meet or exceed the customer's expectations. Make the customer feel like the company is there to serve the customer, not themselves. Deliver on their promises. Thinking about all of...

I love the idea of using errata. It's the annoying reality of trying to use it that most often drives me to ignore it. First, as rkwoodard mentioned, errata is seldom written so that it's easy to read . Second, I've yet to find a satisfactory way to integrate the errata into my books so that...

I'm an extreme resource hoarder. I was the kid who still had Halloween candy left over at Christmas, and not just the lousy stuff either. Action points of any variety drive me crazy. I'm always trying to save them for when they're really needed, which means I almost never use them. Then they...

I wasn't actively playing when 3E was released. I'd grown tired of 2nd Edition and wasn't really expecting 3rd Edition to be much of an improvement. Still, when I saw the Player's Handbook in a bookstore, I was curious enough to take a look. I was totally blown away by what I saw, so I bought...

That would be especially good if the OP wants to broaden the search a bit to includes rules light settings. System-free settings could remain as 1 page of rules maximum, and Rules-light settings could be those which have less than X% of rules material in them. And of course all of this could...

Star Wars Saga Edition. Assuming it still turned out like it did, which it might not have without the OGL to give the designers their previous experience.

Indifferent. Neither is the type of character I'm ever likely to play, but I don't object to them being there for the people who will enjoy playing them.

NPCs shouldn't necessarily follow the rules, but they should maintain the illusion that they do. They certainly shouldn't violate them so flagrantly that the players can't help but notice. (Unless of course investigating why the NPC has that power is meant to be part of the scenario.) In...

My original high school era gaming group played Top Secret SI sometimes. I think they'd been playing it long before I met them and we started playing AD&D. I played some, but never liked it as much as AD&D. Our last attempt at trying to play it in the mid-90's, the advances in technology...

Wonder if Sean's arrival will be in time to make a mark on the Pathfinder Beta, or if we'll have to wait until the final release for that. Either way I think this is a smart move on Paizo's part.

I've played three sessions of 4E, each about three and a half hours long. After every session I've found myself liking the game less than before. This puts me at odds with the rest of my group, who seem to become more enamored of it every session.

If you're not set on getting the boxed set, Buy.com has a pretty good deal on the individual books. $20-and-change for the DMG and MM, and $18-and-change for the PHB. Free shipping is available on orders over $25, so that works out to about $60. However if you've never bought anything through...

Aeson, LTNS. How ya been?

Difficult to say, so I didn't vote in the poll. If I had my druthers I'd be playing nothing but Star Wars Saga Edition. So far though every Star Wars campaign I've been attached to has either sputtered out after a few sessions or failed to even start. The D&D group I'm currently in will...

I'm Alt F4. I've lurked here off and on for ages, and I hung out at CM for a while too. Lately I've mostly been on the Star Wars forums at Gleemax. I've been gaming since the late 80's, starting with 1st Edition AD&D, then switching to 2nd Edition. I'd been out of gaming for a few years when...
