Interesting, I had the exact opposite opinion. :p I've been running Star Wars RPG campaigns for longer then there have been 'official rules' of any kind. The newest edition is nicely done I suppose but really doesn't do anything to make me want to run Star Wars again. Aside from having done...

One of the favorite places in my main D&D campaign world is a 'magic shop' run my an Elven adventurer now long since retired. A former PC, like many NPCs of note in this particular milieu, the proprietor is constantly testing and experimenting with various magical potions and spells, making...

Whatever enhances the feel of the game...though I default to Gamemaster most of the time... Dungeon Master for D&D Editor or Editor-in-Chief for Superhero games Storyteller for Ars Magica and Changeling Director or Narrator for Star Trek, Star Wars and other media licensed universes As such...

I was really disappointed that I won't be able to attend this year, then after reading what's going to be newly released I was...well...kind of OK with missing it. Now I'm bummed again. Changeling: The Lost and Faery's Tale Deluxe...*drool*.

Likewise. This is an important part of the process that I neglected to mention. It is the players and the concepts they create for their characters that fill in many of the details in the setting and inspire me to further develop one area faster and further then another.

I take a rather unusual approach, as I've mentioned on and off throughout a number of recent discussions on worldbuilding. I mostly run Science Fiction campaigns and when doing so, I only create details on the area of the world the story will take place in. At the same time, I do generate basic...

Isn't Success in D&D Dependent Upon Murder? No. <Umm...can you elaborate.> Sure. No. If your game is about more then killing things. <Yeah...thanks Ad.> Don't mention it weird voice in my head. ;)

Yeah I would think the opposite. "Don't double her pleasure - set it to overload with new GLEEMAX! For MAXIMUM GLEE!

I come to EN World for a lot of reasons...people, the subject matter, the interface...IMHO and with no desire to cause trouble, I've always felt RPGnet to be a bit too pretencious and WotC Boards a bit too mainstream. The really creative ideas seem to pop up here. That said, after reading the...

I suppose but look at the discussion of Scoundrel as potentially a weaker class then the others. So if level is a guide and reference to how tough something is, a 5th level Smuggler should be as tough as a 5th level Jedi, yet it seems that is not the case. Everyone in WEG D6 starts with 18 dice...

As a long time Star Wars fan and gamer I thought the book was...nice. Better then the previous attempts but still not enough to shake my love of the WEG D6 game. I just don't feel class and level fit the Star Wars universe. I never think of Han as a X level Scoundrel or Scout or whatever. He's a...

And therein lies my personal confusion on the subject from your particular take on the species. My players love Elves. We think Elves rock. We enjoy them quite a bit. Regardless of the culture we've developed, we own the same Player's Handbook that you do. If they Elves are as weak and...

QFT Blessed be he who is BlackMoria. :) I sit here is horrified awe of "Elves would be this way, Elven society should be that way and Forests kingdoms can't support such and such." Does anyone recognize the second word in the title "Dungeons & Dragons"? It's Dragons. Say it with...

I'm not certain why a new thread needed to be made as we addressed much of this in the earlier thread. And as in that thread I would have ask They're not winners? That's built into the rules? A higher Dex when most of their attacks are Dex based, resistance to sleep and charm, seeing in the...

I find this thread fascinating as it illustrates what I've been trying to advocate so strongly and so often - Differences are cool. Our imaginations are vast and unique to each of us and in a pastime such as this, assuming anything about how a campaign should be run is akin to madness. :cool...

Mutants and Masterminds by a landslide. Basic as d20, Flexible as Hero and much simpler and faster for the GM. One of my all time favorite RPGs. AD

I voted yes. :lol: The least important element of gaming, to me, is rules. Since that was left out, I'm pretty much good to go. Now, I'm going to guess that style and atmosphere go under world and if that is said to be so it might edge out the others by the slimest of notches.

Cryptozoology happens to be a fascination of mine and while I love the idea of implanting creatures of similar mystery into a campaign world, it certainly doesn't work if hundreds of different monsters exist like in D&D. It reminds me of an episode of Justice League Unlimited when they think an...

I'd like to think companies and customers would start to try new and original rule systems. Just a thought. :confused:

Yeah that sounds like us. More so in our SF games then our fantasy games but still, humanity definitely takes a back seat to the other races and the many exotics available. In one Star Wars game one of the players decided to go out on a limb and play a unique and freakish creature rarely seen...
