There's an understatment if ever I heard one. I'm of the opinion the guy that wrote this so-called "previews article" should be taken outside and given a sound drubbing. If you want to blog, then run a frakkin' blog! When we click on a previews article, we want to see previews for the product...

Right in one. Granted, the "dungeon-crawl" feel could just be my perceptions of it. But some of the encounters used towards the end really weren't helping avoid that perception either. At least we weren't taking the hobbits to Isengard :)

Can't really comment on the BoEF, other than to say "no thanks, rules really not needed for that in my games," but I recall a friend of mine discussing a GURPSish supplement called "Naughty or Dice" that, from what she was saying, accomplished what BoEF may have been trying to do, in that it...

*shrugs* Already knew about this one, but a chap could hope... still, thanks for the reply.

Played it... and it was too much of a blatant dungeon crawl, which I don't care for on general principle. I accept it's a part of D&D and deal with it appropriately, but not so much for Star Wars. As for deadliness, maybe it depends on the PCs. Our group is slightly more "buff/beardy" as we...

Any chance the OP could list any Star Wars RPG items that were listed in the catalog? Scum & Villainy is already known about thanks to Amazon, but curious to see if there's any other SW books slated for year's end.

Well, allow me to retort... a) I never said it had to mandatory, but as a GM I've come across many instances where I had a great idea for a scene, but had to scrap it because only one person had a reasonable chance at success due to how they spent their skill points. If the GM knows that...

Which isn't everyone's cup of tea, and can kill off some great ideas a DM might have if more than half the party don't even have a single rank in said skill, or even parts of a module. After all, how many characters honestly put more than a rank or two into Climb or Ride or Swim unless its a...

Side track: Well, to be fair, cat can be quite tasty if prepared correctly. I know because I've eaten Vietnamese quisine while dating a Vietnamese girl way back when. Was invited over for dinner, and surprised the family when this "round-eyed gaijin" accepted seconds even after being told what...

Were the option to present itself, I would probably download the PHB, give it a quick read through, and unless complete and utter drek would then go out and buy said PHB to read much more throughly. Wouldn't download the DMG or MM, as I have no intent to purchase those as I've no intent to run...

While I'm pretty sure it wasn't a design intent, the similarities between 4e wizards and Potterverse wizards is there, and I agree with CleverNickName that it probably wouldn't take much to extrapolate a Potter-type RPG using 4e rules. Heck, combine 4e wizards and warlocks with the old Redhurst...

Forsooth. I'm guessing the lampshade was for Redcloak's theory of O'chul having some obscure ability/feat/quality to block the truth rather than the simple answer of he just doesn't know. Still funny, especially O'chul condensing Redcloak's overblown explanation to a single panel :) I'd love...

Not quite. CL = 1/3 Non-Heroic level, rounded down. I know a lot of people look at the stormtrooper and automatically say "he's 4th level and CL 1, so obviously..." except that the book does state (don't have my copy handy to look up the exact page) that it's 1/3rd. And so far, there's no...

This is also the initial surge of interest. If that interest maintains or expands, then quite possibly, especially in the pdf market, which is where Mutants&Masterminds has really boomed in terms of 3rd party support as well as D&D3e. But the question also comes of how much of this initial...

Unless Pathfinder really takes off, and I mean really takes off, like 3rd edition D&D taking off, you probably won't see much in the way of support outside of Paizo themselves. The D&D brandname is the 800 lbs. gorilla. A large chunk of the RPG customer base will move to 4e because it's the...

Okay, I guess maybe I do need to break down and download the Alpha 1.1 book... becuase depending on what gets lumped into the "combat feat" category, that strikes me was one of the dumbest things I've every read. So a 3.5 character use both Cleave and Dodge in the same round (I recall those...

Hey, combat feats are all well and good. It was the chaining part of it that made no sense to me, especially for those of us that play fighters are used to being able to execute some of these feats "at-will."

Being a big fan of how SWSE handles skills, I'll have go with Paizo's version. Makes leveling up easier, particularly as I was never a big fan of individual skill points to begin with, and certainly makes sense to consolidate some of the micro skills into a single macro skill. Jury's still out...

Agreed, as the "chaining" of feats was probably one of my biggest sticking points; I had thought part of the idea of the revision was to improve things for all classes, fighter included, not find new and creative ways to screw the fighter over.

Can't speak for anyone else, but far as I'm concerned, you just won the thread :D
