I was just amazed at how poorly done the d20 version was a few years ago. Terrible artwork, poor editing, paragraphs that just ended mid sentence. When you put together a comedy came of that nature, I would think you would spend more money on art and less money on slick pages, hardback cover...

I don't have any dealbreakers for a game system. There are a couple of things that will, at first glance, disappoint me, though. Any system that really touts 'realistic' combat makes me raise an eyebrow. My experience has been that this kind of a system is one where you have to roll a bunch...

The article is wonderful. It shows some insight into what the author was thinking. Honestly, what impresses me the most about Call of Cthulhu is actually how clever it was for its time, especially when many of the other games in that era were ultimately derived from AD&D. A game where...

I do think this version of MSHRP is a really good bet. Fast flowing, easy for everyone to catch on to quickly and so on. Much as I love all versions of M&M, Marvel always has a place in my heart as that was likely the first supers game my group ever played, regularly and we had some great...

I really loved the Demonweb Pits. I ran it years and years ago and had a lot of fun with it. The one thing which I can see as frustrating were the corridors or endless mischief the characters could get into, doorways to other worlds which only had a paragraph and so on. As others has...

I can't really think of any free supers games but you may be able to get some used ones cheap or buy the PDFs on DrivethruRPG. As far as which ones to suggest, Mutants & Masterminds is a lot of fun, but so is BASH and is a lot more rules lite. Same with Icons. But my favorite one years ago...

Nothing happened in game but some friends and I, who regularly get together at a bar Tuesday nights, all did a toast. We even had my first edition PHB (signed) propped up on a chair as if he were present.

I never really saw WoD as a horror game, actually. I saw it as more of a game where characters embrace darkness . . . to a point. I guess WoD is closer to a game in psychology than horror, which, I suppose could be its own form of horror. Call of Cthulhu is the original horror game but as...

The bead option seems like it would be close. But 100 beads probably does not replicate the tower as much as say 75 or 60, maybe. I don't think this solves the problem of the friend with the muscular problem but the Dread book does suggest each person stacking D6s as their own personal tower...

Generally, I like minis since they help me keep track of where the PCs are in relation to everything. When my memory was better they were not needed as much but the past few years I have really needed them for fantasy, D&D and so on. Now, in games like Call of Cthulhu, well, its kind of...

Like you, I don't think I agree with him, completely, but he does make some good points. Certainly worth watching for discussion.

Fiasco IS awesome. I have not played it yet but I own a copy of the book which I instantly fell in love with. Its a great game for gamers at a party or when another game gets canceled. Though, I also think the group has to be a little more role playing heavy, or at least role playing...

I can definitely see myself getting two sets of them. I can see multiple uses for them, actually.

I wonder how they figure attendees, too. Obviously badge sales is a big indicator. As far as outgrowing Indy? Well, Indy is set up very nicely and I am confident the city can keep up with rising numbers. But as already pointed out, next year's numbers may slip with the change in date...

Honestly, I don't know either way. Its possible that they were set to announce something (even if they had minimal work on a finished product) and then pulled back. Or they could have circulated rumors and then did nothing just to see what bloggers and message board people would write about...

If nothing else, this will certainly add a new dimension to any Call of Cthulhu game! :)

And a really great guy, on top of it!

I think I know what you mean. My brother and I did years ago and that was fine. Currently, my wife and I are in a game together and that is great. But the idea of gaming with my parents? Lord have mercy . . . Just . . . no.

I use a combination of everything mentioned - Chessex, gaming paper, tact-tiles and the WotC tiles. Since I run a supers game, mostly, I don't get to use the WotC stuff as much (but sewers and dungeons do appear from time to time). With the gaming paper, I have made city parks, hotel lobbies...

I got a 60% w/o Google. One of them is kind of a trick question. ;) Or, I suppose, its more accurate to say, you need to read it more carefully than I did.
