    TSR Example from the worst TSR adventure module(s) ever published

    This got me :lol: And the Nymph and the lake encounter, why weren't there like 20 more deer unconcious? Not to mention birds, beavers, ground hogs....you get the idea. A lake is a major source of water for wildlife...sheesh.

    The Big E.N. Publishing Summer Release and Review Redux!

    Heck, I'm a big fan of Mini-games, so if you want I'd review one of them. Hadn't even noticed that "Tiny Terrors" was released... :heh: Fair warning, as a fan, I kinda expect "high standards." EDIT: e-mail: bretbo2 <at> yahoo <dot> com.

    OPEN CALL: Charity PDF for Katrina Victims

    OK, needed to get some ideas, so I Goggled for the culture/folklores/legends of New Orleans and the general Mississippi area and came up with a partial list. Figured I'd post them here, hopefully they are helpful: Louisiana/New Orleans Culture: http://gatewayno.com/culture/culture.html At...

    Mutants and Masterminds - limited copies available!

    The villain archetypes are pretty cool, though. The Sinister Simian is now up as a free download here, along with The Brain-in-a-Jar. Those are probably my two favorite.

    OPEN CALL: Charity PDF for Katrina Victims

    It might be cool to do a mini-setting (in other words, nothing to elaborate as time is restricted) based in the Gulf States Area. Something like Urban Arcana: Gulf States would rock, but I doubt you could make reference to UA material under the OGL. But something along that lines might be doable.

    Mutants and Masterminds - limited copies available!

    Good review, TB! Don't necessarily agree with all your fine points, but we certainly agree in principle. As an aside, I've taken it upon myself to converting the villains from 1ed. (Atomic Brain, Gepetto, Hyena, ect.) Let me say its' quite an interesting experiment. Assuming my math is...

    Mutants and Masterminds - limited copies available!

    I don't have my book in front of me, but I'll relate what I can remember. There are no "characters" in the book that are identifiable by name, just archetypes. Of course, the only real difference between, say, Protonik and the Original Archetype (now called Paragons) is the name. The PC...

    OGC Wiki (merged)

    As I understand it, Green Ronin is basing their strategy away from D20/OGL to reinforce themselves from this potential. While they are still doing D20 material, games like M&M are flying fine regardless of whether there is another edition of D&D. True20 and their licensed material (primarily...

    Savage Worlds Quibbles...am I correct?

    Yes...but no. The setting-type books for SW are a little different than what you may be used to from Wizards. Many of the Wizards books go into great detail about a given world, explaining the history and culture of various areas of a campaign world in extreme detail. The SW setting-type...

    Savage Worlds Quibbles...am I correct?

    Some folks have a problem with the exploding die, but it really isn't that big a deal. The complaint is that you can roll a 4 on a d4 easier than rolling a 12 on a d12 (which is certainly true), but the probability still leads to a d12 begin better than a d4. Your just more likely to roll over...

    Mutants and Masterminds - limited copies available!

    My first impressions of the book are...WOW! This book is a pleasure to read (well, the first 40 pages I've gotten through, anyways) and I look forward to the campaign I'm playing in moving to 2ed. The art/layout/design is simply stunning! But you would expect that. A few items for those who...

    Mutants and Masterminds - limited copies available!

    I'm Threshel's Wingman on this attack run, so if he is limited to number of copies, I'll be able to pick one up as well. See you there.

    [Theory] Why D&D is Popular

    I'm with you guys, but a lot of games are fun; but not nearly as popular. So what is it about D&D that makes it da bomb? I suspect the reason is similar to what I've heard once about why Microsoft is so popular when other software companies may, in fact, be better...first and most. D&D got...

    Silver Spring, MD Group Looking for Players

    Heck, throw my hat in the ring as well. I have a game that meets every other Saturday, so a conflict may exist, but I'm looking for another game on my open weekend. And I live in Silver Spring, no commute! F.Y.I.: myself and Rodrigo Istalindir (at least I think it was RI) gamed with you guys...

    Game Stores in Silver Spring, MD?

    Wow, my little (OK, not THAT little) hometown got a mention on ENWorld! Yeah, I'm afraid Dream Wizards is your best bet. They do have a great selection, given the fact they cater to the CCG/Minis crowd. And their mechandise isn't shrink wrapped like a certain game store in VA :p Their...
