When I was a kid I (or perhaps my cousin) got a Star Wars: Escape from the Death Star game. This would ahve been the late 70s, maybe 80s. Doesn't really help you much, but it sparked a memory.

Thanks. Relating the post to the OPs question, I think that a good setting is going to provide a reason for people to be motivated to do the things that adventurers do, an opportunity to do them, and a world that reacts to them doing it. I had another thought along those lines: an...

Hmmm...although if you got to play Hank and Dean the bonus for having an extra body could balance it out. I believe the Heroes RPG is from Green Ronin as a supplement for M&M and its called "Paragons." But yeah, a book that even gave good advice on how to run a 'heist' game would be great.

They are in a teen age supers game. Actually I think that speaks to the point well. Even when playing "straight DnD" there are a lot of assumptions about genre, mood, and style. In most of our games there is an assumption of a bit of swashbuckling/pulp adventure. In both romance is...

A good world to adventure in is a world that produces adventurers. I know, any world could do that, but some settings are better at logicall producing such people. I just posted an old article over on my blog about just that.

Along the same lines as the OPs question: Does anyone know of any game that attempts to have a Star Trek feel (quasi-millitary starship exploration based game) but isn't actually a licenced Star Trek product? Something Star Trek-like?

I think el-remmen and others have noted how it can add to roleplay. Whats more interesting: that you are distraught that a fellow adventurer is in trouble or that your lover is? Its another layer to the game, to the characters, and it can bring a higher level of investment and allow people to...

In my experiance romantic relationships, either between PCs or a PC and an NPC, can add value to a game, depending on the game, the characters, and the players themselves. I also find that such relationships, when between PCs, are frequently best to be developed at least to some degree outside...

Thanks everyone, the one-shot is over and the player had a wonderful time that helped to alleviate her growing cabin fever. The PC didn't turn out to be a great burglar, and wound up having to be saved by the daughter of his victim on more than one occasion, but it was fun.

Oh thats very nice, thanks, I can certainly use pieces of that for what I want to do. Other suggestions still welcome.

Not sure what the difference is for a single building. But yes, floor plans - although the mechanical stuff liek hardness, trap DCs, etc is more important.

A friend of mine is recovering from surgery and asked if I could come and hang out tomorrow (its my off day). I want to run a little one shot one-on-one game for her. I have created a gestalt rogue/fighter 2 for her and plan on running the following encounters: 1. Thieves Guild puts...

I suspect you can anticipate the questions already, but I will go first: How useful is this book to the other classes? Does it have any setting material in it and if so for what era?

Glad you did. But your comment above made me think of something else. Only a few liches and vampires and now the PCs have gone and made them well known? If I was a lich I would NOT be happy about that. I would go out and find this guy that has made my life difficult, get rid of him, and go...

So, has the build seen play?

Just remember that there will always be those who will not compromise with evil for any reason, no matter how "lesser" they seem. Create a band of fanatics of some Lawful Good God of Light. They are not swayed by the acceptance of these evil beings have have broken from their temple/tradition...

I have run and played in CoC based games that used d20 Modern with rules form CoCd20 - it kinda hammers home the idea that no matter how great you are there is something out there bigger and scarier than you are.

Walt is the editor for the book and the line, but given the amount of work I have put into it I think I can answer your questions and let him pop in later and correct me if neccessary. IA: Faeries and IA: Fisticuffs and Swordplay will not be included. We began working on the idea that we would...

Yeah, I figured it had to come down to the asking and they were just glossing over it. The advice of MST3K comes up again "repeat to yourself 'It's just a show, I should really just relax...'"
