The way I read it (which is by no means official), I'd probably let your scenario happen the way you thought it should happen, since it is supposed to be handled like a Readied Action. They just pop a hero point, take their standard, or move action and then the the interrupted acting participant...

You could use the rules as they are written, and apply any thematic bits you want as description or flair. A level 1 Cool Looking Demonic Vulture (Eidolon): Quadruped (Limbs [legs, legs], Bite). Evolutions: Pounce, Improved Damage, Claws (front legs) The pounce, thematically is the horrid...

A batter of Harpies A swoon of Succubi A jig of Ogres

When I played through Skull and Shackles we tried very hard to use the ship rules, but yeah, I'd agree here. That being said, I just started browsing through Admiral o' the High Seas and I really like what I'm seeing in there (of course vehicular combat rules never seem to please any two people...

I think the backers are beginning to affect more changes on the Kickstarter process, than any observed increase or decrease in successful campaigns due to the behavior of their managers. As backers work through more projects with time they begin to be more educated on the process and are more...

I occasionally use music in-game. But most often I just fire up an internet music stream of some kind (Pandora, Grooveshark, Spotify, etc) and let it roll in the background while I'm reading or writing up something of my own. In these cases the music tends to be more ambient or instrumental...

The AP reaches a pretty significant climax at part 5. Part 6 is then the "heavy lies the crown" adventure instead of a reveal for any REAL BIGGER MORE BADDERER foe. They've put down the Hurricane King (whom they should just fething hate by this point), and now they get to show the rest of the...

I don't think there is anything wrong with the number of kickstarters, or e-publishers, or 3rd party publishers. You can't fix the internet, because it isn't broken. It is a busy place, and it isn't yours. It is all of ours (human, robot and furries). If people in busy cities can filter out...

The Scar - By Sergey and Marina Dyachenko (English Translation) The Warrior's Apprentice - Lois McMaster Bujold (Audible audiobook version...probably doesn't count as reading :))

MHRP is really easy to teach to players if they aren't attached to a more rules-intensive style of gaming. Though most kids are open minded little sponges, so no worries there. The rules quite easily support single-player games if it ends up just being you and your son. Character generation...

I don't think it would be all that hard to teach to kids provided the ones in question had the patience and attention span necessary to learn any other rpg. The dice that catch older gamers up might just be a no-brainer for them. Additionally, FFG is releasing a Beginner Game (rules lite...

@OP, I've generally had fun with the game thus far. It's fairly painless to learn once the participants have made their peace with kooky dice. I have run portions of a couple of old d6 SW adventures using the system. It is intuitive and simple enough that I've pretty much just pulled "close...

I've been getting into audio books a bit more as my commute times increase and I was growing tired of my music. There are some really good narrators out there. But I've found that some narrators that knock it out of the park with one book or series aren't a great fit elsewhere. Steven Pacey's...

This is more awesome than 10,000 hot dogs! Looking forward to it Gary!

The d6 Space, Adventure and...the third one for fantasy...are all free and and available on RPGNow, the old West End Games star wars was a precursor to these systems. The upcoming Iron Kingdoms core rules have a d6 mechanic Mouseguard, Burning Empires and Burning Wheel are also d6 There are...

Hazing is certainly one way to handle stuff I suppose. Most of the gamer geeks I know probably wouldn't respond that well to it. But if it's part of the relative gamer culture you're working in, then sure why not. It is interesting to me that MMO terms have somehow become the new Prequel...

I play because I (non granny approved lingo) love games.

I'd rather MMO terminology creep into the mix than spoken versions of text emotes and other associated text-bits. At least terms can be roughly approximated into a word category. A tank is a noun, and pull is a true verb action. A larger problem for me will be when my very young children or...

How dare you slight the size of my minority vocals good sirrah! *slip slap with a white glove* The other 1%'ers and I will ensure that the mechanics meet our specific needs...and no one else's. I need to get the shameful little thing in my hands before I weigh in, but I like what I've read and...

I just purchased the Beta. I needed to come clean and be properly flogged for being a weak minded fool :). I guess these droids aren't the ones I'm looking for... Before I take my punishment for handing FFG my lunch money...WFRP 3E's dice mechanics are rad (the piles of stuff are a pain...
