It's like Terry Pratchett writing the 30 Years War, only darker. Hmm. It's the game where you start out thinking you're playing D&D, only to discover you are in fact playing Call of Cthulhu.

"Hey guys, how's the campaign going?" "Give me some feedback!" "FEEDBACK NOW, PUNY MORTALS, OR I WILL SMASH YOU!" It can be helpful to be specific, though, as you'll get better answers. Ask about... 1. Pacing 2. Themes, motifs and tone 3. Ratio of combat/drama/investigation. 4. Style- I'm...

Well, I figured... 1. People like talking about things they like 2. Lots of people here would have liked things from the olden days And I'd get a wide-range of recommendations. If a Planescape fan wants to opine on Planescape, be my guest. If a Forgotten Realms guru wants to explain why...

I'm really just looking for things like, "That book on Mind Flayers was really cool!" or "The Divine Haberdasher Class in the Complete Divine Haberdasher was nifty!" Like, I get that I'm not beholden to the rules. But that's not really what I'm asking about! I want someone to tell me why Dark...

I should clarify- I don't need help running games, or creating adventures. What I'm more interested in is monsters, classes, settings, magic items, etc. Stuff, rather than guidelines.

So I've become interested in C&C recently, despite it going counter to my normal gaming preferences. God help me this interest won't go away, and it lead me to look at all the various old D&D books available on PDF. Since it is apparently very easy to convert any generation of D&D product into...

WFRP is good, Spirit of the Century is good, GURPS is okay if you like the crunchy stuff... Personally, I consider the Unisystem (Buffy, AFMBE, Army of Darkness., etc) the finest gaming system ever devised, and I have to actively convince myself to use any other system. Dungeons and Zombies is...

It will not affect me in the slightest. I may be unique around these parts, but I'm entirely comfortable learning new systems and I play non-D20 games far more often than I play or buy D20 ones. That being said, I'd be sad to see Mutants and Masterminds, Castles and Crusades, Midnight, True 20...

Embarassing! I'll just slink away now.

What?! It sounds exactly like Star Wars!

Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, or Army of Darkness- all using the "Cinematic Unisystem" rules. It is, in my opinion, the world's most perfect RPG system, and I'll fight anyone who disagrees. It is simple, fast, logical, tactical enough for my tastes, offers players fun, GMs an easy time...

It is that time of year again, when I suddenly and inexplicably develop an interest in playing Dungeons and Dragons. This stands in stark contrast to my usual preferences. It is strange. But I figured I'd get this question out of the way while I have the chance. How exactly are levels supposed...

Personally, I'd like to see the following classes... Fighter, Rogue, Wizard, Priest. The basic four we know and love. Then I'd like to see "Leader" or "Bard" or something like that, to match up with Charisma, and be basically focused on social capability. Con men, bards, Kings, mercenary...

This is Delta Green. EDIT: Admittedly it is a little less effective with smiley faces in place of the cursing...

Folks, most people are here to talk about a game called Dungeons and Dragons not Mountains and Molehills. I suggest we take a deep breath. I used to deride the Albino Fleabag with the best of them, but WW's been very good lately. They deserve lots of credit for improving their act tremendously...

Is it? According to who? I recall every game book I own that mentions another product has never said it was for pay; this was just assumed. We've grown accustomed to online material being free, but times have changed. And, to what end was this deception? What did White Wolf get out of it? I...

I'm really not seeing the underhandedness. I mean, I understand the OP being disappointed, but no where did White Wolf ever establish that "web extra" meant "free", so making that assumption is more on the OP than on WW being "underhanded." It'd be underhanded if they somehow deceived him into...

It's part of WW's new PDF publishing strategy, I think. They just released 3 or 4 scenarios for the nWoD as well. Likewise, a part of "Scroll of the Monk" was released as a PDF. It sounds like these are more than just a couple PDF pages- they sound like pretty sizable micro supplements. As...

It is impossible to run a game without at least some GM fiat. I would contend, as well, that the only possible problem with GM fiat comes with a bad GM, and since you shouldn't be playing with a bad GM anyway, there is no problem with fiat.
