Nice to hear from you Clark, and I can't wait to see what you have in store!

Congrats. You just recreated one of my old sig quotes. :cool:

Exactly. To me, rules lawyer has a very specific meaning. In fact, I'd suggest that being especially sharp with the rules isn't necessarily one of them. It's more about behavior, trying to use the rules as a way to "get your way", without regard for the impact on the flow of the game or concerns...

I've been using Fantasy Craft for my Zothique/Conan/Dying Earth inspired game, and it has been working well. It has some of the depth and combat competency that Iron Heroes has, but is better for exploration type games. The downside: psionics is not well modeled in FC as is, and you'd have to...

My short "appendix N" for traveller: Television: Firefly (has anyone mentioned this? ;) ) Farscape Star Trek: The Original Series (as regards to space navies... leave ST tech at the door.) Babylon 5 Movies: Aliens Outland Pitch Black Books: Ringworld Mote in God's Eye Starship Troopers...

As far as I am concerned, yes. Most games I care to play these days have some sort of class, archetype, or similar structure. I find that freeform design games are more difficult to manage and result in groups with many characters that are too fuzzy a focus or over-specialized. One thing I...

I don't read the news page per se. I do read the newsletter emails with content from the news page.

My old mantra still applies: Use the rules, don't let the rules use you. :) Which is to say, use the rules to support and help you, but don't let them be a burden.

I'm trying to actually use some of the stuff I have. :cool: I'm wrapping up my Freeport game and am looking at the possibilities for Scarred Lands and Oathbound.

At the moment, mostly Spellbound for Fantasy Craft. I'm also eager to pick up Psionics Unleashed for Pathfinder (which is already out, but I am on a spending moratorium until the new year). I also need the last 2 installments in Serpent Skull AP so I can decide if I am going to use them, or cap...

Conception, laying out the scenario idea, and brainstorming npcs as all done in my campaign notebook. I hate trying to type on a computer while on the go, and find portable alternatives unsatisfying. For example, typing this post on my Droid while waiting for my tires to get changed seems...

Not that I find this as objectionable as BryonD does, but I think that most "unprofessionalism" and "childishness" can be explained by thoughtlessness, so I don't think he was implying malice here.

It is entirely speculation and I for one am not assuming anything. But I think the scope of the license matching well with the scope of products FFG is currently doing is a fairly strong data point, so I refute the notion there is nothing. Really? Do share.

For those who might be curious, here's what I did. IMC, though Freeport is closest the the continent, it's a jumping point/hub to other nations/cultures. So I sort of decided that Freeport is the center of a so-called "syncretist" movement. When the Freeport material mentions "the temple of the...

In addition to bones and flame, it seems to me that lore and battle are good fits. Frex, lore has a mystery that let's them canibalize spellbooks. How fitting is that? And the inquisitors are heretics... the curses may just merely be something an oracle has to accept when thieving divine power.

What's this? Some 4e conversion thing?

I like the idea of making (WotBS) Inquisitor into (Pathfinder) Oracles. Despite the taxonomical inconvenience of the name Inquisitor appearing as a different class in the APG. I'm on the fence myself as to whether to run WotBS with Pathfinder or Fantasy Craft.

Thanks for the input. The Freeport setting is not quite as much a vacuum as you make out. If you have/use the Pirate's Guide to Freeport, there is a "world of Freeport" chapter that details much of the oft alluded-to "continent" of the Freeport books. So in part, my question for those who...
