:cool: This would test well with some focus groups. Like me. But likely not with many others. :cool:

High praise, indeed, coming from you. I actually run my games this way and have tons of old notes that are yellowing in old binders - the best way to have them. But some day I will type them all up. :)

For me, lots of it comes down to shortcuts and (misplaced) ideas of power. A good god wants you to help others and learn on your own and work hard for success. An evil god will be willing to let you take what you need, empower yourself and consider yourself as powerful, justifying your desire...

Sinister Schemes: A book showing a variety of nasty creatures as masterminds and how to insert them as villains and story hooks for a campaign. Focus on using lesser used or unusual creatures. The Wizard's Guild: (Alternatively just Guilds) Show some standard guilds - Thieves' Guilds...

The WotC stuff I have bought recently has been impressive. In the past couple of years I bought Libris Mortis, Lords of Madness, and Drow of the Underdark and have been really impressed. Further, I hear Monster Manual V is really good. I'm not sure what is with all the WotC hate.

Adam West is your co-worker? Are you on Family Guy? Are you Burt Ward? As far as board games, Arkham Horror is a lot of run.

I would argue it might be better for the ones that remain. That means the cream has risen to the top, hasn't it?

This I really DO miss!

When I think of slaves in a fantasy setting I think of 1) nations which have been invaded and 2) debtors who have defaulted (imagine if you missed your car payment three months in a row - the bank would have you working as a butler for the bank president).

There is much wisdom in this. It is simple, it works and it creates the least amount of heartache for the GM, I think.

I would love to hear a sales pitch, too. I am really interested in the game and would love to hear more about it. It looks awesome!

First edition had charm and in a way an easier time to create the kinds of characters you wanted. For instance, you could make a magic user who was an expert in demons, religion, or engineering or all the above. With 3rd edition (and 2nd edition) you either had to have the skill points (or...

Maybe you could limit the amount of called shots a characters could do in a given session. It is a little like metagaming but it allows players to still use them and allows things to remain under control.

Castle. Evil wizard. Princess is captured and placed in tower. Bridge to tower. Troll under bridge. Oh and start it with, 'Once upon a time . . .' There ya go. Alternatively, steal the plot from Dragon's Lair.

Someone brought up all those examples of half creatures. Half demons, cambions, etc. I wonder if the other participant was willing? Though, I suppose the distrinction is rape that occurs and rape that occurs to a PC. I can see a PC getting pretty ticked about that.

Hmm. The succubus does actually make for a much more interesting discussion. While people be offended if the succubus gets a little nasty with one of the males - while he sleeps? Will the same group be as easy going when the satyr does the same thing with a female?

A discussion of rape in game is useless without the unique perspective of Edena. He needs to come here to address these points.

Much as I like 3rd edition as it is very playable and offers a lot of good options, I think it did take several steps closer to being a wargame. Of course, in the privacy of your own gaming group you can sort of take or leave whatever aspects you want, really.

But it seems that the satyr's main motivation is to 'have a good time,' so to speak. So I bet the OP was sort of asking 'are you asking for trouble by even using them?'

Did you check to make sure you did select 'send them to me' as opposed to Will Call? A few years ago Will Call was my default (sadly) and I had to wait in line.
