Wednesday's night, from 20:00 to 24:00, every two weeks (although we are playing every week now, it is not the norm). I really hate to play at night, but we all work and some of us have children and, therefore, are not willing to play at weekend afternoons, when they usually spend time with...

The very first time I've played GURPS I runned a Wersten game. One of the players, excited with the number of options availabe, created a mute gunfighter. From the moment we started the game to the very end of the session, he didn't pronounced a single word. Even so, I could easily understand...

But then, most Greyhawkian major human races are not white. The sole exception are the Suel, which are usually portraited as racial supremacist villains. The Blakunish are arabic, the Flan are a mix of amerindians with celts and the Oeridians, which conquered most of the continent while mixing...

I usually homebrew, in which I change races and classes available and tweak the rules a little bit, but, from time to time, I like to play by the rules, and to me, D&D is Greyhawk. I am planning to run my first 3.5 campaign in a few weeks and it should be in Greyhawk once again.

] There is one novel, called Magician, which is current being published in two volumes (Apprentice and Master). As far as I know, Feist have not revised the text for the new edition. As a matter of fact, for those who haven't read it yet, I do recomend to read Magician and stop. The story...

Not only Umbran is right but also, going back to your example, it doesn't sounds credible to have an avian like species with the burden of bringing their juveniles while flying. I wouldn't buy it as a Sci-Fi scenario, but I have no problem with it being fantasy. My advise is to don't worry much...

I also agree with Black Moria. I hardly have any time left to cope with all possible variations available to D&D. The three core books are actually all you need to play. Although, I wish I could control my consumist urge as well as I am doing today.

I have a biology degree and I see no point of trying to integrate evolution theory with high fantasy.

Star Frontiers was my first exposure to a Sci-Fi roleplaying game. It is a quite good game, although the setting could be improved with more development. However, Traveller is the Sci-Fi game I've played most. It is still a great game in any edition (Classic, Mega,or T4 -- the last one bugged...

If you mean not magical modern days for realistic, then James Bond is one of the best games available. In fact, it is one of the best RPGs of all time, much ahead of its time. I usually understand as realistic, games that portrait characters within the human limits, somewhat biased to the...

Very curious opinion. Although I agree with your opinion about Lankhmar, I found the original Waterdeep the worst city supplement I ever read. Not only, it is inconsistent, as it was based in rather ridiculous assumptions to justify the maintainance of the city, but also uninspiring and poorly...

Chaosium's Lovecraft Country series, detailing several cities such as Arkham, Innsmouth for Call of Cthulhu is probably the best effort as long as cities go in rpgs. Regarding fantasy, TSR done two very good supplements, Lankhmar for AD&D 1st edition, and Greyhawk for AD&D 2nd edition. I haven't...

I am not much in hype anymore. This year Wizards manage to sell me only the gift set. I was really anxious to get the Draconomicon, but it turned out to be a disapointment when I finally got a chance to see it. As such, I will wait to see the upcoming products before planning to purchase them...

A couple of levels in Bard will do well. Regarding the Mouser, give him a couple of levels in Wizard, as, in most stories, he is unable to do any spell by his own.

There are a lot of good d20 material being published. Which ones are the best will depend greatly of where your interest lies. As a rule of thumb, I usually appreciate books from Atlas and Green Ronin. Other publishers also offer good stuff, but I think that these two companies are really much...

Just use it. You can easily take the rules from Star Wars or Spycraft and apply it over d20 Modern. Quite frankly, I think that the d20M's massive damage rule has an edge over the VP/WP systems.

My favorite system is Chaosium's BRP, as used in Call of Cthulhu, Stormbringer, Ringworld, and Superworld (although I never read the last one). It is far less cinematic than d20, although it can be used in heroic campaigns. I also like Chaosium's RuneQuest, which is the father of BRP, although...

Looks like you're looking for HERO, which, in my opinion, is the only real generic rpg rules set available. GURPS and d20 Modern are good modular system, where you can easily add some new modules such as magic or psionic rules, which are not necessarily consistent one with the order. HERO is...

Good job, not only is a better page design than the previous one but also works nicely with Opera 7.1.1 for Windows.

I have played and runned a number of adventures in which the players were participant in large scale engagements. Quite frankly, forget about any mass combat rules set. It is pointless. The PCs will not make much of a difference in the fray, unless they are the generals leading the battle...
