Check out Stars Without Number, an OSR influenced light game. It's superb, with great sandbox ideas. There's a free edition! There are many free supplements for it. Also Other Dust is a post-apocalyptic game based on the same rules. Would make for a super fast game IMHO.

Actually, Runequest 6 was developed by the original authors of Runequest II (now Legend) via their own company called The Design Mechanism, published by Moon Design Publications - who are handling the distribution. The Design Mechanism now has the license to produce Runequest and Glorantha...

If you like GURPS, it would be perfect. Read through it and give it a whirl. Start with the GURPS lite, and then add stuff to flavor as you go along. It will serve your needs perfectly. For a lighter approach, check out Unisystem using All Flesh Must Be Eaten, and Dungeon Zombies as ideas to...

Thanks for clarifying. It's important to realize there are two flavors of Cortex. I don't think C+ enthusiasts will be as enamored with classic, but it seems like conversions are not too complicated.

BSG and Serenity use the classic Cortex rules (also available in a generic format), not the Cortex+ rules. Leverage and Supernatural are Cortex+. :-D Just a minor nit pic.

Thanks for putting together these reports!! Super helpful information, and much appreciated.

Hi, I'm Trent the GM of the Game T is talking about. I wanted to pop in and share a couple things. I was not having fun running the PF game. Not because of my players, they all rock on on toast. :D But because as a 30+ year veteran I've grown tired of D&D (clones, derivatives) and all the...

I would like to know what the OP feels takes precedence over the game session. It's really a matter of why. As people have said, if it's legitimate stuff, then it's understandable. However, I only tolerate so much of this in my game. If you're life is too busy to make this game, maybe a...

It seems like a gem that was overlooked to me. I'm going to run Shatterzone for my group on our "off week" game. I want to also bring it to Vegas Game Day. I will have to draft up a review for it, and post my thoughts in these threads. Still interested to see others experiences with it. Also...

I didn't know anything about this game, never picked it up back in the day, nor have I heard much about it, until PIG re-released it. The scans (are they scans?) are superb. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. I can zoom, and the text is readable zoomed in! I picked up all the PDFs...

Look for a Legal Shield rep in your area (just get on the site) and get your hands on some inexpensive legal representation. Yes, it's a MLM thing however, I think the service is superb. They don't cover "pre-existing" legal situations, however the discount DOES apply as soon as you sign up. I...

This product looks really fun! I think it would be great to have some magic space faring adventures with Pathfinder. Only 5 days left to go! Let's fund this project!

I would post a comment at the end of any content you want to release as Open with a link to your OGL page. You should include any sources you derived material from in section 15. This is not only a cool thing to do for people who might want to publish with your material but a nice "kudos" to...

I like your skill breakup! I would break out "what a skill covers" and "what a skill does" for all your broad skills. Then feats should enhance "what you can do with a skill". The base actions or checks for a skill should be built into the skill. Feats should make you better or special or more...

You should look at Fantasy Craft. You may not even want to recreate your own OGL game. It's actually really well done. The Criticals are a fun modification where you have "threat ranges" and you spend action dice to confirm them. You can confirm various levels. The GM has action dice to spend...

No, rules are not PI, generally it's proper names, place names, monster names.

Wait. That's not what I was saying!! You TOTALLY can use the 3.5 rules. And ANY rules released under the OGL. You can nab them, rehash them, mix them up, and work them in to your heart's content!! That's the beauty of the OGL. You simply have to list each source you "borrow" from in section...

(1) - The SRD (System Reference Document) is the rules that WOTC wanted to share, in an easy to digest (and use for publisher reference) format. It took all the Open Content parts of the various d20 systems and placed them in one place. The OGL (Open Game License) covers the rules and text...

I plan on logging some hours on this, by end of week and the weekend. Web site was hacked, had to fix stuff up, refreshing my memory on the CC3 tool, updated the tool, work is in OT this week... More to follow soon!
