very insightful oryan77 I'm surprised noone else pointed out that so many people who think they're funny are just plain annoying. Now with that said I couldn't stand to play in a game that was completely serious.

I'm with a lot of folks here in that the advantages of worshiping the good guys are largely societal (acceptance and respect). while the bad guys don't have to worry about morals they do have to keep their views hidden until they can't be challenged (or believe they can't be challenged). As...

I'm in the I buy everything good and my players buy things very rarely

I don't have a problem with people that play C&C. It just touted itself as a simpler system and admittedly upon skimming the rules it didn't seem much simpler. Admitted AoO were a little tricky for me to get at first but I never thought they were that complex. I will check out your review...

gakked a player in my last session but it was the finale of the module so the timing was right. however I've modified the rules much by adding character points and a wound vitality system which is good because the players forgot about the hero points in that battle and they sure could've used...

you guys rock I'm looking forward to gameday just curious when is the gamers going to be showing? edit nevermind I found it.

I think mongoose has gotten better but I think that they suffer from being the company that puts out the most product. So they crank stuff out which is good in that they have stuff to sell however it's not so good when they don't have time to put the care into them which like I said they've...

correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't every gm worth his salt have house rules and every system worth anything say when in doubt modify? I'm not that familiar with C&C I looked it over saw that they had 5 or 6 different types of saves and laughed at this supposed simplified system. I'll admit...

excellent idea teitan. I'm not sure if this would work but I'd look at the annual like you said and give a bonus hero point or two for working the subplot into the story. I don't believe it will be to unbalancing since this is similar to what was done back in the old torg game.

I went with no because I have a ton of races I'm not using now. Now to be fair I work at a used bookstore and I might buy it if it comes in there.

This one's going on over at the MnM's site but not eveybody goes to every board. So what are MnM's strengths?

My problem with the MnM system is all of the players who want to turn it into D&D (by adding hit points) or champions (by adding variable power pools which were horribly done rules to begin with and represent silly characters like the Silver Surfer- I've got the power cosmic, So what you're...

Had to think about this one at first I thought D20 had it hands down then I thought about it I've played champions, star wars, vampire, and bought a ton of gurps stuff. So I've probably got about a third more over what I have in D20 which is impressive because I tend to get most d20 after a...

I'm completely with you on this I downplay alingment as much as possible. So far it hasn't come up in my games. However the rules as written have some places where if you don't have them you're cheating certain classes like the paladin. I haven't had anyone play one yet but if I did I'd try...

It was vampire game and my first character had died trying an experimental cure. So my second character was an older connected vamp who was responsible for some new vamps. Well one of these new vamps who had recently created a familiar pet by the name of chopper (it had a viscious bite) out of...

<You know, everyone seems to be taking this pretty harshly, but it's not like anyone stepped out of the rules. The party should be pretty free to do whatever they want, otherwise, the DM should indeed go home, and create characters of his own, playing them against his own monsters to make sure...

Yeah I learned that leave a spell slot or two open for wizards and you can have whatever you need in about 10 to 15 minutes. Makes wizards real adaptable.

Man this is a tough call because I really don't like the idea of spelljammer, D&D IN SPACE but then you just gots to hate the kinder in dragonlance. So I'll say anything to reliant on psionics (just jarring) though dark sun sounded interesting with it's defilers and presevers. In the end I...

Wow it sounds like noone has the moral high ground in this one but I'm amazed at the players in game reaction and the GM not squishing it like a bug. However that gets into GM vs. player games and I've never been able to wrap my brain around those. Sounds like the fact that you weren't killed...

He's a boon to all mankind, He's a boon to all mankind :] if only he weren't a paladin he could really REALLY use that thing < :] did I mention the evil grin >
