On Episode 82 of the Order 66 podcast (not that anybody listens), Rodney mentions that this book has the first of what he's calling "tools to make the GM's job easier." Most of the books beforehand have had a stronger focus on the player content angle as opposed to stuff for the GM (aside from...

For a pretty fun sci-fi system that could be ported to other setting-types, might I suggest the Cortex-based Serenity RPG? Although much of it is based around the TV show, from what I hear it's a pretty good system (may want to look for an updated copy of the Cortex rules, as it fixes a few...

Haven't watched any of the episodes, but from a few screen grabs I've seen at least they've got Clark into a version of his Superman costume, black with the House of El symbol painted on his shirt. So does this mean that Clark is "doing the Neo thing?" ;)

I get where you're coming from, and you've got a point.

Well, finally got v2.0 up, so I'm bumping the thread.

If folks would like a nice overview of Galaxy at War, as well as get a few questions answered about some of the stuff in the book, I humbly suggest checking out Episode 82 of the (ENnie Award-Winning) Order 66 Podcast, which can be found off the d20radio.com homepage (click Podcasts and follow...

Well, maybe AEG is hoping to undo the fiasco that was the 3ER, which was intended to fix a lot of the issues with the 3E book, but wound up being so poorly edited that it caused a whole bunch of new issues. I've enjoyed what little 3E I've played, but I'll reserve judgment on the 4E version...

I think for "odd" dice, there's not much that can beat the D-Total www.gamescience.com - NEW Products

If you're interested in learning more about WFRP, then I suggest checking out the Small But Vicious Podcast. Older eps: Small but Vicious Podcast Newer eps: The Small but Vicious Podcast oldscool is a very knowledge gent about the game, and for anyone looking to learn more about the feel of...

Galaxy at War. Given that Rodney gave a "dramatic reading" of the cybernetic reconstruction rules from said book, it's only natural to conclude that cybernetics in general will be getting a lot more detailed coverage in said book. As for why they are not in the core... how much of a dramatic...

Bought the book, and have enjoyed it quite a bit. Rodney and company were able to include a fair amount of stuff from the X-Wing/TIE Fighter era of games, which is neat. I rather liked the Racial Feats, as they play to certain "iconic" aspects of those races, and gives PCs a decent reason to...

If you're referring to being shoehorned into taking only certain skills without the option of going outside that list, then the Background optional rules in the Rebellion Era campaign guide might be of interest to you. I could certainly see GM's using part of those to allow their players to...

Well, PC survivability is helped immensely when your GM can't make attack rolls for crap 90& of the time. And the few times he does hit, it's either a pitiful damage roll or the target manages to dodge or parry the attack. GM: "The lead Orc scores a mighty hit..." Elf PC: "Finally hit...

Granted I'm a bit biased on the subject, but I'm really hoping Order 66 takes the gold for Best Podcast.

And from where I'm sitting, you guys succeeded admirably, and I think I can safely say that d20 Radio's Gamer Nation thanks you for it. The fact that you got one of my players that was about to give up on Star Wars gaming entirely after "the schizophrenic kludge" (their words) that the prior...

I love the streamlined skill system in SWSE, and have come to agree with the point of view that drothgery espouses about rolling Climb, Jump, and Swim into Athletics. I especially love the fact that skill point were shown the door, as it makes creating and leveling up a character a lot easier...

You're looking for some good advice on encounter/campaign design? Then I strongly suggest giving the following episodes of the Order 66 podcast a listen. http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Order66/~3/sCtv0izTHU0/episode37.mp3 Episode 37 - The List: Deals with designing an encounter that is fun...

Actually, the Potter films have generally been pretty good about this, but then again most of the actors playing the Trio were already older than their characters (Rupert especially), with the age discrepancy being only a couple of years as opposed to the Dawson casting most studios rely on...

Which seems rather silly, given that A:tLA is based on an already existing property. Heck, there's even already a pre-existing movie called Avatar, so by the same logic Cameron should change the name of his flick to something else. Stupid Hollywood logic. Teaser looks interesting, and I'll...

Thanks :) As for a Skill Focus fix, one idea I've seen bandied about on the WotC boards is to change how Skill Focus works entirely rather than restricting the level you can take it at. Instead of a flat +5 bonus, it would let you add your full character level to skill checks instead of half...
