And that is bad because...? Sorry my friends but Oz, like Middle Earth, Wonderland, Lanhkmar, Narnia and Melnibone', has been around alot longer then D&D. IMO this is just another attempt at getting away from the source material and trying to make everything look tough, sexy and badass...

The Wonderful Wizard of Odds A Super Hero RPG adventure set in the DC Comics Universe. The main villain of a complex casino/organized crime scheme turned out to be one of the Luck Lords of Ventura (alien scientists able to manipulate probability). Bring in the Noise, Bring in the Flumph D&D...

No, not yet...I always post gaming related inqueries here first. Unfortunately this one seems to be a bit of a stumper, eh? Over 125 views and one response. Hmm...my guess is that people generally don't bother looking for something new and different when Mutants & Masterminds is so awesome...

An avid fan of superhero comics and gaming, I am currently running a fun and quite butt-kicking Mutants & Masterminds game. Never one to ignore unusual and/or alternative game systems or ideas, I'mk wondering if anyone has tried any such approaches to comic book gaming recently. I was very...

I was definitely thinking Record of the Lodoss War, Slayers, Weathering Continent, Ryu Knight and a host of other Eastern-Western Medieval Fantsy Anime. Strangely this is what my view of D&D is anyhow.:o AD

Not sure what you'e refering to. My post looks absolutely normal to me and I never changed any of the default settings when I made it. AD

As someone who’s main RPG has been Star Trek since 1983 I'm afraid I have a very different opinion from those who've posted before me. While many different systems can be used to portray adventures in the Star Trek Universe, a few of those that were designed specifically to do so stand out in my...

The whole reason 4e doesn't interest me in the least... From LostSoul "I can pontentially see a problem in the fact that it makes magical powers more effective - a martial power pretty much does what it says, but magical ones could do all sorts of different things. But then again, if the PC is...

I'm going backaways to recall as I rarely play D&D or class/level systems very often. In the heyday of my D&D gaming (1e - roughly 1981-1984) I mostly DMed. Still and all, my highest character personally was a Cleric/Fighter-10/12 who started out 1/1. The highest characters I've seen played...

I too love the FASA system, it being the first RPG I ever purchased with my own money and the first at my FLGS some 25 years ago. At the same time, the LUG version still tops it in my book. Things to watch out for when using Decipher... Decipher Trek has a very D&D 3e feel and as such...

And besides, who ever heard of using software and computer game terms for tabletop RPGs? Its not like people say Controller, Striker, Builds, Crafting or...oh...wait...never mind. :-S AD

Probably not what you want to hear... But my recommendation is to use the books you purchasd as source material and get a copy of the far superior Star Trek RPG by Last Unicorn Games. Better rules, more options and more online support (including the aforementioned Trek-RPG.net and its...

Tried to check through the thread to avoid duplication but its pretty big. Here goes some of my personal favorites... SUPER and SUPERSCIENCEPULP Pulp with the super powers knob turned up higher then normal. Represented less by particular series then by particular characters...The Question, Dr...

Having had female players in my gaming groups since I was 14 or 15, I can tell you that they can be as bloodthirsty, honorable, brutal, kind, straightforward and creatively unorthodox as any male player. Married, single or otherwise, they bring a wholely distinct and classic attitude to the...

Great topic... I had this conversation recently with some friends...I was introduced to D&D at a fairly young age (8) by my friend Tom who was a grade younger then me. He had recieved the game as a birthday gift and was taught how to play by his older brother who already GMed. Now, at 8 I was...

Hi ho ladies, gentlemen and 7th dimensional, cephalopods of a distinctly green-grey hue! I was wondering if anyone has read and played the often EN World header advertised StarBlazer Adventures yet? I purchased it and wow...I mean WOW! 632 Pages of 70s era SciFi Space Opera wacky goodness with...

Ah but for me its a perfect opportunity to play...wait for it...other games. That means besides D&D. If needed, smelling salts are easily reachable. Just teasin'. ;) In all seriousness though I bought the 4E box set of the three core books, read through them, was very disappointed, tried to...

I find that the time spent in Jump Space is a great time to flesh out subplots and character development. In thesecond of my two campaign previously mentioned, the PCs' main vessel was big enough to have a mess hall, a lounge and a gym as well as several other, albiet small, recreational areas...

I've been playing since August 25th, 1977. Almost 32 years and still going strong baby! :cool: AD

On off topic, I find it interesting that so many people lump modern and scifi together. Regardless of TSR and WoTC beliefs about the two genres, the two are very different. Unless I'm playing superheroes or something in which modern people have high tech gear and/or special powers, modern...
