What may help is the the four page preview of the game at GR site. preview link That covers the heart of the system in a nutshell, as well as that was the first thing I read and I had little difficulty with the rulebook. After you finish reading the book, you will find that it is easy to...

Actualy playing in casinos happens right here in America. A Miami rpg club ran a Living Arcanis weekend at one of the tribal facilities for "that other type of gaming" earlier this month. In some cases, this sort of echos what I saw when I took my New Years vacation in Sao Paulo, Brasil this...

My GM wrapped up our last game, which readed 16th level in two years. This is not the fast advancement I ever had. There was a AD&D game back in the early 90s where we went to 12th level in a year. The GM is using a varient out of the DMG to reduce our XP totals so that we have slower...

It is true that many of the "common" men who have given their life for their ideas are indeed heroes even though they never lived long enough to go past 1st level. But then these men do not become legends and myths and this is what we are truly talking about, yes? "Legendary" Roleplaying is a...

Yeah they can, but I bet the coward lives longer. :)

As far as the WCIII RPG goes, what will get it for me will be all the "filler" spells. The most special abilites that Heroes have is what, four or five? Though with WCIII, those abilites now have 4 levels each. So you either have a faithful adaption that has only a few spells that level or you...

You have set some very difficult hurdles for yourself, a tight budget and low encumberance rules. I can make some suggestions on the rule-lite side. Grab TS and then get either Mutants and Masterminds (d20) or Big Eyes Small Mouth (they are also supposed to have a d20 version soon). Those...

I don't have FFG's Myth Races book, so the stuff was new to me. The living Ioun Stone people seemed to have a cool culture, a really cool picture and seemed to have a slew of rules on how its detached limbs are hampered (sometimes permently) by anti-magic stuff. I also remember that the motto...

World fo Warcraft? I plan to play. There is just something about the epic game play, the slightly cartoonish look and the attitude that makes the game world a fun place to romp around in "beer and Pretzels" style.

That depends on which game system you use. :) Mutants and Masterminds (d20), d20 Silver Age Sentinels, Big Eyes Small Mouth and Champions are all systems where there is enough flexiblity to assign abilitites to mimic any sort of funky race.

On second thought, probably I think I will use 16 as the divisor and since I think the ususal Reincarnate seems a tad tough, I won't add the extra +10 for the base DC check.

Sorry I didn't see your post on the GR board. First, let me repost the summary of the Hit Point rules I gleaned from Steve or had him give a nod to. Errata Page 131 Optional Hit Points side bar Actually it's Protection (and other powers that provide Protection, like Armor) that should provide...

I found these three divergent, but interesting varients to doing a fantasy game with Mutants and Masterminds. 1.) The cost of the physical attributes are upped to 2pp. By physical attributes, I mean STR, DEX, and CON. A new feat called Highly Skilled. This feat can only be taken at character...

I see that you have three options. 1.) I am running a d20 Farscape game right now ... with the Mutants and Mastermind rules, which don't need the PHB at all. I don't know if I would really use MnM for just the XP chart since the game uses a completely different character creation system. It...

Re: Re: Thinking outside of the box and on Occom's razor I can see your point. But if that was the case, I would expect them to say collectable right off the bat, not random. WotC wouldn't be shy about clarifing the point. I am still just going to wait until there is the offical press...

Thinking outside of the box and on Occom's razor I for one am seeing too many people equate "random" with "collectable scheame." Until I hear more, I am going to assume random means just that they are more interested in stuffing more boxes per hour compared to hand picking that each box has an...

I left my first post a little generic since this board focuses on fantasy and DnD alot, but I thought I'd add a couple of details. The game was acutaly the SAGA Mavel super hero game and the invasion was from aliens. The character who took my campaign for a spin was indeed a wizard, more of the...

I just realized this. The news bit says random. It doesn't say anything about collectable. To me that could be a big difference. And what could that difference mean? We are all aware that in a collectable game, certain pieces are rare on purpose to increase their value to the collector and as...

My campaign took a interesting turn once. I planned for an invasion of the PCs nation. It was a high level game and I thought the group would become this cliché of generals, counclers and spies. Nope the wizard opened up an interdimsional portal and ushered his buddies though. So instead of...
