London Underground (which I'm informed is very similar to Paris Metro). A fun (not as short as they say) game that one's brilliant geek friends can still manipulate to trap you many stations away from victory.

Oh whoo, there's so many. Call of Cthulhu d20 Any of the Chaosium stuff. the movie Tremors with Fred Ward Bruce Cordell's Far Realm materials GURPS Horror GURPS Creatures of the Night This is just scratching the tip of the iceberg.

Thirded (or is it fourthed) on Anonycon! Great convention. Wish I could go again. Anything PirateCat or the other fine folks host in Boston is also good stuff. As far as in New York area, there is gaming at ComicCon itself. I have not been, but a friend went and thought it was good. l...

LOL! Have you tried the Add Me thread on the Castle Age forums first? :)

Yeah, but it's still one of those movie moments where fire fills the sky, and the PC or eagle is unscathed. Quite cool actually.

Have they done any final soliloquies before? Any good experiences that you might draw upon? I think what you're hoping for is a grand exit. This is actually an interesting notion I've reflected upon occasionally. If you plan for it, no problem. Of course, if the player just likes to sit there...

Voted for #2. However, isn't your question really a variation on "Us vs. Them"? Or even "Entrenched Position A vs. Entrenched Position B"?

Interesting. How did this question come about?

Hold on a second. I think there's a few key points here. There are some specifics in your post: You have, unless I really miss my guess, a couple of power gamers in your group. These sorts of whines from players are actually DM Gold. (Few recognize it.) They come back week after week right...

Kudos for the honesty. Good luck with the family!

The conversion information was in the AU DM's Screen, which does not appear to be available anymore on White Wolf's site. You might try writing to them to see if it's still available somehow.

In addition to what is already noted, the "exclusivity" provision of that first OD project got the attention of certain patrons who funded it. Without funding the project wouldn't have launched.

Two points here. The first being that without the exclusivity angle of the very first Open Design project, it might not have gotten off the ground. Second, I hear you on the complaining. I do understand that folks would like to have those highly exclusive books. I'd rather not hear about it...

What causes me not to play? 1. Timing - I have a mildly chaotic schedule. If it's a game on a weeknight, especially when my kids have school, that's a problem. 2. People I don't get along with at all. If there's one or two that aren't my first choice, okay. As long as the group as a whole is...

How about a world where the Warforged took over? They came to realize that by creating order, they could control and protect everything? (Okay, it's a tad like Terminator. That's okay.) Humanity and dwarvenkind and elves and dragons fought back, destroying the world that the Warforged sought to...

Interestingly, I always ignored alignment and favored class in D&D. On classes, I think that a psion is slightly more powerful than, or equal to, a magister, so I'd allow them in if you have psions. I don't really see templates as a problem in light of the kind of damage a D&D PC modded with...

I have these. I liked them at first, but found them a bit fiddly. They stand up well, unless something pushes them over. Then the whole wall goes over. I bought mine right when they first came out, so hopefully they've figured out a solution to my biggest issue with them, which is that the...

Most recently? I had three players in a foreign film (China, using D&D rules) that found a flute. The flute (a $1.00 wooden prop) in game could summon the spirits to them. They would still have to convince the spirits to do their bidding. I passed out the flute on Friday. It was the first night...

How about writing something with it? Like this: Dust. The dust heaved up from the road. Again. He coughed. Choked. Spluttered. The bend curved away, then straightened, as his tired feet dropped in front of him one by one. Around it, past the deep green swoop of the trees, stood a house. Not a...

Mine was randomly rolled. We were assigned backstories commensurate with "special abilities" by dice. Rolled by the co-DMs. Then, if our "special abilities" mattered, the co-DMs (boyfriend and girlfriend) went into the other room for a "DM Conference" and came back (mussed) and nerfed your power.
