Go for the eyes, Boo, go for the eyes! Rrrar! *squeek* Great thread! Here are some of my opinions ... *****PC GAMES***** Baldur's Gate wins. Part 2 is a direct continuation of the story in Part 1, btw. It is BG2, though, that has such a mindbending story arc. Oh, and I can't wait for Dragon...

makes obligatory joke about yule logs. :]

So much of this thread rings true. It seems like a decent enough game, but not worth the risk of it taking over my life. I've seen what meth does to a person and it ain't pretty ... oops, I mean WoW. I can also sympathize with the reports of wading through torrents of WoW shop talk and in-game...

Let's everybody chillax so we can keep this nice thread open, eh? I have a man-crush on Will Wheaton. A Wesley Crush ... er. Sorry about that. I respect and admire Will and his opinion and am grateful for the insight. I still wouldn't DM it in it's current incarnation, but I'm quite curious...

That's so cool. I had no idea about this, DonTadow! Hey it broke my heart when Rusty sold her club in Maumee/Toledo about 5 years ago. I spent as much time there as I did playing D&D. THAT was an amazing little jazz club, especially if you were a regular. What's the name of your club? Do any of...

He's Ishmayl. Here's your answer ... http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/228403-keeper-shadowfell.html

Deep Into the Earth is what it's called, like Henrix said in his post. I think I can help you find a copy. I just shot you an email to that effect. BTW, I've been playing around with your program and I really like it. I'm sorting through my Jeremy Soule/Black Isle collection with a mind to...

It's funny. I was just reading Sol Stein's masterpiece, "Stein on Writing," and he says that, if one is interested in writing compelling stories, you should do just the opposite. He's a renown editor, author, and writing instructor. He says "characters make your story. If the people come alive...

Oh, I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arriv Nice! Thank you for pointing this out. Once in a while, it is alright to let one player take the spotlight, but if space battles take a reasonable portion of game time, this could quickly become problematic...

You should post them in a document when they're all sorted! To everyone who posted thus far: thank you for the thoughtful suggestions. I should have included the following in my OP: please tell me a little bit about the system you suggest. What are the primary flaws/weaknesses in you opinion...

Good question. I actually included a specification in my original post, but deleted it when I thought about how we haven't deep space combat in reality to simulate. Dogfights in aircombat could be close since they occur in 3D space, but not zero gravity. We could always simulate fiction, or our...

... please lock it. edit: discovered the cool "report this post" button. Done.

What are, in your opinion, the best space combat systems out there that could potentially be used with a D20 system? I ask since the D20 version of Fading Suns lacks starship combat rules. What do you think? Should I ... 1. use Blood and Space v.2 2. somehow adapt the VPS space combat rules to...

Cool beans. Thanks!

I've collected quite a few soundtracks to films and video games for use at the table. Almost anything by Jeremy Soule, Horner, Pouledaris, or Zimmer is a winner IMHO. Mark's thread collection is highly informative. Here are some more favorites for you ... EVERYTHING by Jeremy Soule Age of...

Is this up yet? Can somebody post a direct link when it comes out? I'd rather avoid signing into WotC if I can help it but the PA boys are gods. Not to mention I have a soft spot in my heart for Will Wheaton ...

I love rhetorical questions. This is more a cautionary prompt for self examination than a serious question, methinks ... and a good one at that. Well done.

Cool. We do. I feel like it's the best kept secret in "rules-lite" gaming. I've been meaning to express my gratitude for a while (I only lurk on the C&C forums). :)

You surprise me, Chris. I hold your houseruled Castles & Crusades document to be an inspired gift. It is, to my mind, the natural evolution of pre-3.x systems. Lovely, concise, and smooth as silk to run. I prefer your rules to the published Castles and Crusades rules for several reasons, but...

You're welcome!
