I don't even know who the £?!!$ Ray Bradbury is, mate.

You've just earned yourself a: Bork bork bork. Yeah, last time it was Magic: The Addiction. Before it was those Fighting Fantatard books. Then... dude, there've been It'll Kill The Hobby OOh Ahh Drama I'll Burn MY Dm's Guide stuff since the word go.

(Misquote to identify you: Well said, old chap!

Do yourself a BIG favour, and read Ghost in the Shell. If you like ANYTHING cyberpunk, you'll like this. Even if you don't like anything cyberpunk, there's a good chance you'll enjoy the original GItS.

Generally, I adore anime; I've known it longer than I have AD&D. My early memories involve Appleseed and Akira. Anything that feeds back to that style of story is (in my books) a good thing. If other people don't dig it, that's cool; it's differences that make life interesting. But I prefer life...

I'm telling you, man. Have evil assassins keep turning up with their target being your powergamer's character - if he asks why, it's because he's such an efficient slayer of evil that he's attracting the wrong sort of attention! He quibbles? Oops, another ten baddies just turned up to help the...

My suspicion is that the system will be similar to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay or Inquisitor. I've been involved in an Inquisitor roleplaying campaign. The game system is D100 based and sincerely top-heavy. For converting 40K to another game system, a copy of first edition and a bit of though is...

My technique for dealing with anyone who argues with the GM's descisions is simple, as well as having been come up with by my bro; When a player argues, you can do one (or both) of two things; 1) Have some more bad guys show up and attack them. Repeat until they're too busy to argue. Or 2)...

You have missed out. Bigtime. Ignore the films; they're a big pile of jobby. Just dig into the original trilogy, and enjoy. Especially enjoy finding out where many of the fantasy tropes you've played came from. LotR is a lot of things. Cheesy is one of those things. Well-written is another...

I haven't voted because there isn't the right reply. To me, generating a character is simultaneously as big a deal as plotting out the next arc of Star Trek, and as little a deal as deciding what colour socks to wear tomorrow. Sure, we all want to play cool characters - but my group tends to...

I suggest comparing the basic and maximum human stats. Basic: M WS BS S T W I A Ld Int CL WP 4 3 3 3 3 1 3 1 7 7 7 7 Max: M WS BS S T W I A Ld Int CL WP 4 6 6 4 4 3 6 3 9 9 9 9 ... or at least that's how it looks in 1st edition... Basically, take the base human...

I only quoted the ones I knew for dead sure. I prefer to be called up for 'I-didn't-know-that' than for saying 'X-is-the-case' when it wasn't.

Nope, I just added a barnload of asterisks instead of a chain of swearing taking up a page and a half. That should give you an idea how strongly I feel about this 'collectable miniatures' business. That is NOT the way to out-GW GW. GW are selling a lifestyle of the over-the-top, cartoony and...

I've lost a friend, but not an RPG friend. If one of my players died, that'd mean another player losing family. That would mean the whole group losing someone who's as close as a brother. What we'd do in that situation is, we'd carry on at full steam ahead (hell, slam her up to 110% military...

You have no idea how much violence royal families are willing to use. Heads in gutter, arrows in eyes, pokers somewhere far worse, it gets better. Or maybe that should be bloodier.

It may interest you to know that in all of the cases I quoted, the game was inspired by the book. Technically speaking, that means the books are not RPG fiction. Stuff like the AD&D or Vampire books, you've got a point. LotR? Tolkien died prior to the invention of the role-playing game (though...

I play a different (home-grown) system, but I put a reply since I think the question applies to any RPG. And my answer was the 'roughly 50%' one. Most of our campaigns are combat-centric, but the combat is given form by the investigative work. The best it's ever got was a cyberpolice campaign...

It's About ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Random miniatures, especially if they're PLASTIC...

(Casually bumps thread, because the eventual subject is just... awesome.

Korgoth - That link was awesome!!! Thanks! To clarify my 'necessity' comment from earlier, I'm talking terms of rule system. A rule system that doesn't allow hybridisation is not my scene. If you don't like this stuff in your campaign, go, 'No dude, you're not playing that in my campaign...
