Yeah, mine just came in too. ::Feels special:: Hmmm… I see the “True20” thing as well. However, I'm not sure what EXACTLY "is" or "is not" part of the True20 setup. Is it just the idea of using one die, or is it all of the crunch that goes with it?

You know, if I ever saw a game entitled “Half-dressed jungle girls and/or space vixens: The Role Playing Game” I think I would buy it on the spot. After I had regained consciousness from laughing myself into a blackout.

QUICK UPDATE: I’ve come to decide that I -really- like the “alignment” system in the BR rpg… I like how each character has a light AND dark nature, and that certain aspects of each are drawn out under different circumstances… Very cool! One thing that bothers me: Are there any stats...

Alas, not familiar with Witchfire... Is it any good?

Ah, but you see, it IS attacking the setting without any attempt to “play the setting.” Since the first gut reaction of my players would be to attack such a setting, it seems that the best thing to do might be just roll with it and give them what they want. This way, I could use the history and...

As I continue to look over BR, I start to think that maybe, just maybe, the default romantic fantasy setting could work… If you TWIST it around a little bit. Examples: -An adventure where the environment is a danger to the common people (such as a festering swamp) but the “talking...

Wow. What an interesting game THAT would have been… Fabio: I roll to believe that it’s not butter… GM: You got a “1”. Looks like you failed… Fabio: Nooo! I can’t believe that it’s not butter!!! Barbie: Good thing. Real butter would KILL my CHA modifier…

::Nods:: I loved the SWRPG so much that I didn’t even complain when the RCR was released soon after (remember how everyone thought it was just some kind of rip-off scandal?) Next to the ideas found in MnM, VP/WP is my second favorite D20 innovation. However, I was thinking...

Which kills me. I’m an English grad student who can’t find an editing job ANYWHERE… And yet gamers are -always- complaining about small grammatical errors in their games? *Sigh*

Ah. Haven’t gotten around to Grim Tales yet, but I may have to take a look at it now. *Sigh* I’m half the gamer I used to be. Guess that’s what I get for getting married.

Public Notice: Making sigs that attempt to portray standard terminology as somehow being “antiquated” is not cute or funny or clever anymore. If it ever was. Oh? There’s another D20 fantasy game setting besides WoT that uses these? Unearthed Arcana doesn’t count IMO. A “patch” just...

Very possible... I am, after all, an English grad student! ;) I was specifically referring to the realm of Jarzon among other factions, not Aldea. I can see your point about the game authors trying to portray a clear “good vs. evil” setting like Star Wars, though... In fact, the game...

Whoa!!! Are you the same Ranger REG from the WoTC message boards?

Easy: Buy another shelf. :) Anyway, remember that I’m not a fan of the genre, so I’m probably interpreting the overall setting wrong. Actually, every time I look through it, I do find some pretty interesting ideas… I just don’t know that I’m equipped to run the game the way you’re supposed to.

What got me in the end wasn’t any one specific thing, it was the overall flavor of the game: You basically have a perfect “open minded” utopian community threatened by thinly disguised right-wing conservatives. The goal in adventuring is to either “open the eyes” of these villains, or do...

Blue Rose RPG I’ve just looked over the Blue Rose roleplaying game and wanted to share a few thoughts. I can pretty much sum up all of my sentiments towards this game in one sentence: “Never in fifteen years of gaming have I seen such an aesthetically brilliant system of mechanics paired...
