Thanks for all the suggestions. Most of us have played a lot of the games you mention, although some are older versions (i.e. Shadowrun when it was in its 2nd incarnation; Earthdawn when it came out, the various WoD ones too). I've been thinking about Eclipse Phase actually, saw it a few weeks...

Well, they don't mind crunchy rules but not too complex- as the sessions are usually only 2 hours long, I don't want to spend most of that time dealing with rules or overly long combats. Lethal combat is fine, and I think tactical is better than vague, if only because we're on-line and using...

Evenin' all In the near future myself and my gaming group are looking to take a break from D&D and play something different; they've said they want something with guns and explosions, maybe sci-fi, cybepunk, something like that. I have no idea what games are out these days, and trawling the...

Just a quick post to say thanks very much for all the info. I think I'll buy the set when they come out :)

Quick question for PCat, from sheer curiosity: when it came to the minions, did you tell your players that they were all minions, or let them know after they'd killed a few, or something else?

I was introduced to it by my dad, who learnt it from college. Started playing when i was eight, still playing now 28 years later. And still have my two original characters, both long retired and settled in Greyhawk City.

And because I was at it, here is another... I am sure we have all had a cat or kitten leap up on our gaming table to disrupt the game. Well, now you can use that very pet as an actual D&D monster; the fearsome 'Little' Kitten of Death! :o

After a barmy discussion about elephants, which turned into a discussion about vampire elephants, I was inspired (if that is the right word) to create a vampiric elephant; which I am delighted to share with you :) The world needs more silly monsters! So, without further ado, here is the...

Before there were tieflings, somewhere in the late 80s, I was in a game with my original D&D character (human wizard) and he was in a church trying to uncover a corrupt and evil priest; which he managed to do, only for his henchmen to bolt the door and the priest to cast silence on my wizard...

My character's don't have a bag yet, but in a previous game our party did stow a dead PC in it, only to discover when we next opened it, that the PC had in fact been killed and turned into a vampire: so we had a vampire in a bag, which we let out one day to help clear a cavern; had to kill him...

I know what you mean. I've never played or ran games at that level before (usually end a campaign around early teens) but I am use to players completly bypassing set-pieces and encounters by coming up with ideas I hadn't anticipated, or something I had forgotten about; and I too have been...

Thanks :) How's play been at nearly 20th level?

What are the levels of the party at this stage? And how far behind is this update now? Really enjoying the story and looking forward to learning more about the Maw. :) Thanks for sharing.

Giant -toad-dog with exploding warts that explodes when slain :) Nice.

Oooh, decisions, decisions. Which did the party go for?

Wasn't the Runequest setting called Glorantha?

I do like how these games feel heroic, even epic, at low levels. I'm learning a lot from these. Thanks :)

That's a good question. You could run it as a sandbox-styled game, exploring the astral sea while looking for a sanctuary to call home; with the Maruts popping up to cause trouble along the way. And I guess, to go with the galatica idea, it could be a very political, role-play heavy kind of...
