Holding off this year but already missing going. Still may check out on-line Gen Con or maybe Pop-up Gen Con

S Well, sort of. In my games it comes down to piety and good standing, the characters visiting shines, giving to the church (I mean why should a non believer be granted the same healing as a believer) or adventure guild dues (contract to provide services) and such.

First off it is best to let the players know before hand that there is a chance of dismemberment in the game so they can have an good medical plan. Then you as the GM should have a few plot hooks to dangle in front of the players. Example would be a shady hooded NPC that whisper to the...

BLOOD BOWL! Oh, really was hoping we were going to get into real fantasy football.

ZWEIHANDER, it is an alternate WFRP (basically 2E updated) and can be dropped into the Warhammer world, to me a better game. CONAN - always fun. TRUDVANG Chronicles

I am a 2 to 4 player GM. Easier to manage. Anything more and start running into conflicts with scheduling and resource allocation. I find it easier in setting up the game and having interest for all the players at the table. With larger groups, found that someone may not always have as...

Oh, to add a bit more of my history and moving from fantasy, 1980 Car Wars was the first game getting to Sci-fi. I love that game! That lead to Gamma World and Boot Hill about the same time. Then came 1985, my first year at Gen Con and the dealer room...it was a Wonka moment for me.

Well, it comes down to visual and possible world myth and of course any house rules your DM may throw in. Examples, for visuals: I have always found a Battle Axe very intimidating, for world myth, a battle axe is a dwarf weapon or a weapon has just gone out of style. For house, well there is...

1976 with Chainmail and some D&D then moved to AD&D in 77. My younger brother and his group needed a DM and got hooked.

In a way this was explained in Stargate SG-1 when Thor told the Team why they were asking the humans for help with the replicators, to provide solutions outside the box, it was beyond the Asgard to think of things like guns being effective weapons. They had limited imagination. There was a...

Then why are we having this discussion? If everyone want to be equal, then there is no difference and it just means we can have bumpy foreheads, your dwarf archer is just a bearded short archer. It is the Happy Meal and no need to explore ROLE playing and challenging players in their game...

But WE ALWAYS give the females breast! S Star Trek explained it away with the galaxy being seeded and that is a good way to explain how you could have half-bloods. Most games have a 'those that came first' and using the seeded backstory has worked for a lot of game. You then just have to...

Use index cards for notes and such, have Tarot cards for Zweihander (found at DriveThruRPG) for spells and monsters.

Maybe, it is possible it is running all together from 1ed to 2nd, Fantasy Battles and White Dwarfs, the 'new' stuff reads like republished and not new.

Don't think so, everything to date is just republished material (no matter how much they say is new) and WFRP did not leave the empire. You are better looking to Fantasy Battles and the world information found in the old stuff.

Again, I have to ask, how much of it is NEW material?

This is what happens during a plague, people stay home and play games while things are closed.

I am more of the feeling it is a called shot, look to the beams from off the page, doing some damage but her weapon not so much. She is clearly going for a less armored area. :) Personal, I would have aimed at the yellow circle but hey, they have grenades, which so promise. Or this is how...

BOUNCE - Sword & Sorcery games have a flow and pace to them that I like to call bounce. It is quick action and flashy settings. You have to think about your descriptive adjectives to reflect this. Take the time to look up words you can use to add character to a location or make a NPC standout...

But the nickname Geordi (La Forge) would get kind of old after a bit. :)
