I've heard a few times about the theory have having something like "social hit points" and I find the idea very intriguing. It looks like you propose something similar. I would like to try something like that, maybe at a con or something, but I don't think I could be convinced of it's merit...

This year will be my second trip to Gencon. I went last year and was pleasantly surprised at how overall cool everyone was. I didn't get to do much gaming (something I am rectifying this year), but I enjoyed just taking it all in. However, I didn't have any really cool stories to tell when I...

There is a huge festival in my small town every year called Blueberry festival. Something like a million people show up for it every year, and my town's population is normally 15,000, so it's kind of a big deal. I grew up across the street from the park it's held at so I know this festival...

I might get pulled into working until that evening, but if I arrive on time like I hope (around noon) I would love to play in it. I've never played that system, but I've read the series and heard good things about it the game.

I have spent the last two years designing Blood, Wits & Steel, an RPG that I hope to self publish in a year or two. Last year I went to Gencon for the first time and it was awesome, but a little overwhelming. I didn’t really get a chance to game much, except for a few demos in the exhibit...

Really? Where is the impetus coming from for all this? It's still non profit right? That move seems very corporationy, like let's gear up to get bought for a pant load of money stuff.

Man, my wife's little brother had quite a laugh at your thread title.

Enlarge/Shrink from 2e (or the name was close to that) My favorite thing to do was cast reduce on a tree branch or step a bad guy was standing on, or shrink his sword or make his armor too big. I remember in a high level campaign and evil wizard rolled some boulders down a mountain at us. I...

You mean the virtual dungeon thing Wotc has been talking about for years is finally happening. No wonder Satan hasn't updated his facebook account lately, he's probably too busy making snowangels (or demons i guess) :p

Just add a little Emeril's Original Essence Seasoning, that aught to kick it up a notch... BAM! Just kidding. I always like to write in scenarios that aren't really all that complicated if you know what happened, but to those on the outside it's hard to figure out. For instance, goblins tend...

Mine is a jeep: it comes out of the box able to go anywhere or do just about anything, and has a lot options for how to configure it, and it's a bit of a rough ride.

I have to say this looks pretty cool. I like that you included all kinds of supports around the walls. It reminds me of the old catholic church I went to as a kid. I have to ask though: the raised walkway in the back part of the cathedral has obvious combat uses, but what normal use does it...

Thanks for the tip. I wish they had provided a map in the article, all the links in it just lead back to the same article. I looked on google maps and got a decent idea though. Hopefully the Ram will have working sidewalks by august.

Dude, is your dad a marketing guru or maybe movie producer? He thinks like a dealer and his players are potential addicts... which is awesome, and in a good way

One thing my friends and I frequently discuss are things we don't like about settings. I generally feel like the majority of settings I have seen are too detailed, that there is no room for mystery or to add in your own corner of the world. I think it would be nice for a setting to just...

I have a proviso for my answer: It should be easy for a PC to die if they don't play smart, moderately difficult to die if playing well, and hard to revive (if possible at all).

That is why I'm doing this. I too had a huge shelf of unused books, and I just felt like none of those games were being written by people that were really asking the right question... "how does this product make the experience of the people at the game table easier, or better, or more...

I'm working on an RPG called Blood, Wits & Steel that I plan on publishing in a couple years. I'm looking at options for having some printed books to sell at cons. I want to be able to sell the book, which should be around 200 pages, for about $20. Making the book hardcover adds $10 to the...

No, I won't be ready to release the product until GenCon 2013. Right now I'm heavily entrenched in the playtesting phase. Anybody interested in seeing a brief description of Blood, Wits & Steel should check out my profile.

I was debating how to go about finding new players at GenCon to try out my RPG Blood, Wits & Steel. I think I have found the place.
