    Miniatures for a Star Trek game?

    First, I am assuming you mean miniatures of the crew and not the ships. Second, FASA seems to be the only company ever to have made character miniatures outside of the recent heroclix line. Interestingly, they seem to have focused entirely on The Wrath of Khan. Anyway, a list of model numbers...

    Jay Little talks dice in Edge of the Empire

    What he said. :) It's really pretty slick. Opposing dice cancel each other out. Read results, narrate. Most people seem to have it wholly grasped in about 30 minutes.

    I really need help with a riddle...

    "You say you know me inside and out, but I'm not like a radar in that sense. Who I am is the key, what I am is the answer." To know something inside and out is to claim thorough knowledge of it. Things people often claim such knowledge of: Themselves, their job. a hobby, a sport, etc. Radar -...

    Examples Of Minimum Quality For Published Adventures

    I believe it was this adventure, Kurishan's Garden that: A) Stopped us from using AEG's 'half-size' adventures ever again. B) Caused 4 appropriate level PCs, and their players, to refer to said adventure as "That time we mowed the lawn" for the rest of their days. C) Had a BBEG so bad that said...

    Got any context for us? If it isn't related to the game, what's the point?

    Communal World Building

    "Beware the Harvestmen." On any given night, all over the world, unruly children are told this by their parents. The Harvestmen are said to come in the night and steal organs and body parts from fresh corpses. They are shadowy figures, never less than three, who appear to be tall and thin...

    "Exclusive deals suck!" - James Mathe's rant about the tabletop industry

    Ahh, and here's me thinking that the whole point of PDF was that each copy of the document would be identical and therefore entirely Portable between various systems, computers, etc. They've certainly found a lovely way to complicate things.

    "Exclusive deals suck!" - James Mathe's rant about the tabletop industry

    I guess I'm a little confused here, in my head a PDF is a PDF is a PDF. Once you've got one made it doesn't have to be done again for each knew service...does it? Isn't it just a matter of hosting the file on each service's server or pointing them all to one storage location? Maybe I'm just...

    "Exclusive deals suck!" - James Mathe's rant about the tabletop industry

    I'm just turning this thought over in my head mostly, but bear with me: Suppose there was a viable business model that allowed a local game store to not only offer the usual mix of games on the shelf, but also to provide print on demand services linked through to RPGNow or DriveThru. Like, I...

    Further inspection, and maybe you all knew this and I was late to the party, reveals that James is in a stew largely of his own making. His Bio page proved interesting: http://www.jamesmathe.com/

    "Exclusive deals suck!" - James Mathe's rant about the tabletop industry

    As a former game store owner I can tell you that price and availability never have been and never will be the main draw of a good game store. As a consumer, I will go to the least expensive source I can for whatever game I am interested in. IF it happens to be the FLGS, then cool. If it is...
