Again, thanks for all the input and feedback! I've managed to borrow a copy of the RC, but my trip down memory lane has been one of... Mixed emotions. I'll update more about that later. I've also managed to learn more about C&C, and I've been completely blown away by what I've seen so far...

Hey! You could always play RIFTS. With lots of “megadamage” or whatever. Trust me. You will never, never, never, ever, ever, ever, complain about "short combat rounds" again.

That’s because these systems were designed by expert teams of physicists and sociologists to mimic real life. As it turns out, real life is what is broken, not the games based on it. They're working on the problem, though. But seriously, you might look into True20, which scales somewhat as...

Didn’t you guys know? Throughout history, ALL monks were kung-fu masters. The eastern ones just weren’t as good as their European counterparts at hiding it, however.

I’m going to commission a Boris Vallejo-esque cover of this concept from the next art student unfortunate enough to cross my path.

You cannot fathom how quickly I would gank the GGRPG off the shelf and buy it. But only if I could play as Sophia. Hey, does anyone else here remember the Star Wars Holiday Special? Bea Arthur was never quite the same after that. Or the rest of the world, for that matter...

West of 1980 You are standing in an open field west of 1980. There is a small mailbox here. >Open mailbox Opening the small mailbox reveals a MMORPG. >get MMORPG Taken. >Kill D&D What you want to kill the D&D with? >Kill D&D with MMORPG D&D cannot be killed with the MMORPG.

I don’t know, from what I remember about my former D&D days, our party was always in constant need of more money. Bribing officials of the law, “donating” to underbosses, and tossing handfuls of gold at outraged mobs as we fled every other town took a pretty regular chunk out of our earnings...

I’m still waiting for another SSI Gold Box game. I mean, those games were perfect. The absolute end-all-be-all apex of PC gaming. I still have no idea why anyone would willingly chose to deface the very concept of electronic gaming by adding more than four directions, coherent dialogue, or...

Man, I can’t begin to tell you the number of Dark Tower setting conversions I’ve started to lay out, or helped with, and never finished. Heck, I’ll wager that if you can think of a system out there, I’ve got a partial Dark Tower conversion written for it. A couple of years ago, I linked up...

OK. Now this I gotta see.

Thanks for the input so far! We’ll probably end up getting a PDF of the Rules Cyclopedia (which I believe is less than five bucks) to see what it’s about while at the same time looking into C&C. You may be right… But we’re going to give it a shot anyway. The DM has already let us know that...

Oddly, I didn’t receive anything from WW, but did get the two e-mails from the hackers? I posted once or twice on the forums, but never bought anything from the online store, so maybe that has something to do with it. I’d feel less anxious if I could even remember what all information I had...

Can you tell me how to get to Ol’-Skool street? In a fit of nostalgia, our gaming group has decided to run a “classic” D&D game, just like in the days of our misspent youths. You know, a session where a party might be composed of Bonecruncher Hellsmith, Bilbo Strider, Ed The Great, and Lord...

I’ve played with both systems, and found that it doesn’t really make much difference which system we use; in both cases the players more or less get the starting gear they need, and the adventure moves forward. Of course, this may simply be because of our style of gaming; where all the really...

Don’t forget Doofy; god of whoopie cushions and fake barf.

Cat-people don’t bother me. It’s the players who only want to play as cat-people I find disturbing. Or, perhaps I should say “disturrrrrrrrbing.”

I picked up Blue Rose on PDF, just for the awesome mechanics. Later, these were released separately as True 20 and I picked that up too. Can’t wait for the hard copy, as it has become our primary gaming system for just about any campaign or setting. Lately I’ve been thinking about picking...

Another RIFTS rant. Sorry. When I think of systems that I became profoundly disillusioned with, the name at the forefront of that list is the infamous amalgamation of random words, numbers, and kewl artwork known as RIFTS. Early in high school, I remember being really exited about the...

Errrr... Well, to be honest, True20 IS the end all be all of d20 game design for me! ;) EDIT: House-modified to run Star Wars, that is.
