    Advice for Gamers in Society

    Wow, this thread is depressing me. First, I wasn't aware that conforming to the brainless, beer-guzzling, sports loving, meaningless sexual relationship social norm was my goal in life. Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to rethink all my experiences over the last 30+ years. Second, gamers...

    Wares Blade D20!

    Really?! Kino?! I've special ordered many things from them over the years but their ability to get actually RPG books has been very hit and miss (well, mostly miss here in NY). I will definitely give it a try. Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you! I'm going there tomorrow. If I can...

    Expedition to the Barrier Peaks - your experiences?

    One of my favorite modules ever, if not THE favorite The Expedition to the Barrier Peaks was, essentially, the catalyst for my entire D&D campaign universe. I intended to run a campaign of AD&D with a bunch of players who had all been playing for a few years but never together. We met at camp...

    So what's your favourite beer? (Forked Thread)

    While definitely something to consider, I think its just linked to my odd biochemistry. Docs say I've got too much of some things and not enough of others that result in a high tolerance to alcohol, medicene (pain killers rarely work), I don't sleep very much normally and have a rather high...

    Star Trek: RPG

    The Fantasy Games Unlimited RPG Starships and Spacemen had this feel and it was certainly possible to get such a vibe from FGUs Space Opera as well (since the universe was a blatant rip-off...er...heartfelt homage to Star Trek and Star Wars complete with a UFP and Jedi/Lensmen). I've run...

    So what's your favourite beer? (Forked Thread)

    Up until about 3 or 4 years ago I couldn't stand beer. Actually I couldn't stand any form of alcohol. I have a very sensitive sense of smell and taste but for some reason 90% of all alcohol just tastes like medicene to me. That changed when, in an attempt to not look like a ninny among my bar...

    Home made game systems

    I make them all the time... Seriously. I've been gaming over 30 years and seem to work on my own homebrew at least once every few years. Currently I'm trying to put the finishing touches on my Galaxy Quest RPG, technically in its 2nd Edition. Its based on the film of the same name of course and...

    Does art matter in a publication?

    Yes, Yep, Qui, Si, Hi Definitely x1000! One of my biggest gripes with the table top rpgaming industry in the US is how often gawd-aweful the art is. Obviously WotC not withstanding, though the current look/style/atmosphere is not to my personal aesthetics, its still very well done. Science...

    Star Trek: RPG

    Game Long and Prosper I've probably run more Star Trek Campaigns then any other type of RPG game in the 30+ years I've been gaming and without a doubt my favorite incarnation is the Last Unicorn Games version. The ICON System and the way it was delivered in the various game book really capture...

    Future Retro-Clone That Never Was

    I remember this now...I guess my question should have been why wasn't it ever done well? Oooh...teasing. The specifics of the Buck Rogers game elude my memory at the moment but I recall being very unimpressed. The production values for the product were pretty amazing for the time though. AD...

    Future Retro-Clone That Never Was

    Eureka! lol That is sort of what I had in mind but I would prefer to treat the game from a serious fun angle as opposed to Star Munchkin. Though in many ways, OD&D has its moments of bringing on the funny. Betote: Nothing is wrong with Mutant Future but why did they make it? Nothing was...

    Future Retro-Clone That Never Was

    I would be...seeing as how I started the thread and said "I feel the uncontrollable erge to make this game". :hmm: Just kidding! I'd love to see someone take a crack at this idea. The key in my mind is that it should be 'generic' in the way D&D was...all the basics are there, Aliens, Ray...

    Future Retro-Clone That Never Was

    I feel the uncontrollable erge to make this game. Its a game that has always existed in the back of my mind, like something I played in the past but couldn't have. While I'm not a Class/Level system fan, it just seems that if a SciFi game had been done this way back in the late 70's or early...

    Future Retro-Clone That Never Was

    Confused? Excellent... I was always confused as a kid by the fact that Star Frontiers wasn't 3 hardcover books seperated into a GM book, Player book and Monster...er...Alien Book. With the creation of Mutant Future, I was wondering what a Class/Level space adventure game based on OD&D or...

    Wares Blade D20!

    Thanks but neither of these ship to the USA. Trust me I've tried. I collect Japanese table top RPGs, though sadly many of my old sources have dried up as it were. I still searching other avenues. I appreciate the attempt, thanks again. AD "Ducts? Why is it always ducts?"

    Save my Game: Do the Right Thing.

    The End is Nigh! D&D has finally come to understand itself and written the revelation in an official source magazine?! Hold me...I'm frightened. :eek: I kid, I kid...Seriously though, any game producer/product that thinks its creation is the end all be all is out of its head. The RAW rules...

    Do you read RPG books all the way through?

    Yes-ish Mostly, Kinda, Sorta :p I usually read the ones I really like and intend to use all the way through...eventually. I normally start by reading through the basic mechanics and character creation, skills, then combat. I skip around looking for cool ideas, nice art or other elements to...

    Wares Blade D20!

    Umm...I don't think you understand. Let me be very clear here... WARES BLADE D20! If anyone is overseas and can find a copy of this TRPG book I will pay for the book, the shipping and maybe even name my first born after you. To quote the works of John Kovalic, "It Must Be Mine!!" Any help...

    Topps Shuts Down WizKids

    I know and I really am sorry. A combination of not gaming in a while and watching too much Family Guy has my humor a bit on the angry/edgy side today. AD "Self control? That's funny coming from the guy that slept with every Terrakian slave and the Moon Princess on the show."
