Well, I did pretty much say exactly that when I responded to the Iconic Familiar. Sorry, but gonna drag out a soapbox for a moment regarding Skill Focus... I see a lot of people (and I do mean a lot griping about how Skill Focus (Use the Force) completely breaks and ruins the game, yet they...

Interesting choice to lump Ride in with Acrobatics. Given how much good stuff already comes with Acrobatics (namely tumbling but also stand & fall prone at reduced action costs and reduced falling damage), I would think if you were going to merge Ride with another skill, then Pilot might be a...

Got a whole 20+ page document of them (currently working on v2.0, which is just about ready to be rolled out). But here's a summary of what's covered (and in no particular order): - Climb, Jump, and Swim have been rolled into Athletics (had taken this out on the last release, chose to put it...

Congrats on scoring a copy. From what I hear, UP has been out of print for quite a while, as it seems "when is it going to be reprinted?" was a popular question on a few different message boards. That book served me in good stead during my days spent enmeshed in M&M, and I agree with quite a...

Saga Edition is great in that the core rulebook really is all you need to run the game; everything else is just gravy. That said, my recommendations on the other books would be as follows: Starships of the Galaxy - If you are doing anything involving space combat, this book is almost...

I've had the book for just over a week now, and I have to say that I really, really, really like it. The front half is just loaded with crunchy goodness, and not just for Jedi, but also Force Adepts and Sith (Sith Alchemy is back and in full force!). Rodney had said on an earlier Order 66...

About the only one on that list that I plan on seeing is Transformers.

Ah, I remember LUGTrek. Fun system, but sadly only got to play a handful of sessions before the GM flaked out on us. Took a look at the Decipher version, but was pretty soured on it after some lackluster experiences with their other CODA game, Lord of the Rings. BTW, thanks Green Apple for...

I caught the Spartan vs. Ninja one a few weeks back while channel surfiing over at my folks' house. The weapon "testing" was iffy, and the "conclusion" was pretty laughable (no ninja in their right mind would go toe-to-toe with a walking tank if they could at all avoid it). And mmu1 is right...

Interesting notion. What also may be of interest to you are the Lightsaber Form powers that are slated to appear in the Jedi Academy Training Manual. They operate like Force powers and starship manuevers, but are based around character-scale combat, with a bonus provided if you've selected the...

Up until last year, I would have to guess that overall, not that many natural 20's when playing a d20-based game, and a grand sum of three from playing 4e. Reason I say "until last year" was that was when I started playing Zayne Morningfire, a young Jedi in the Star Wars Legacy Era. While he...

Maybe he means "enough for more than one person to sit down and play," which is what more than a few minis-based starter packs provide, example of this being the Star Wars minis lines, which had enough figures so that two people could sit down and play. I've not really gotten into the game (not...

*clears off the dust* Wow, has it really been almost a year? Well, version 1.2 is finally done, and is being hosted by the fine gents over at d20 Radio. I can't guarentee the math is 100% perfect, but it ought to be a heck of a lot better than the previous versions ;)

This one. The heck with 4e, I'm tempted to create a 3rd degree Droid Noble for SWSE with this name, setting their various buff talents to music :D Hey, that was by far one of the coolest Mutants & Masterminds OCs that I've ever had the pleasure of seeing, with Doc Haywire being the only real...

Huh, you should have at least gotten an e-mail from them with your download link. I'm also assuming you either already have an account with them or created one. Granted, it's been a while since I bought anything from them, so I dunno how much they've changed how they do things. It's also...

My group has played a couple of L5R campaigns using 3rd edition. As far as the setting goes, the GM used the "Heroes of Rokugan" approach and simply time-skipped about 500 years after the coronation of Toturi I. So for our games, a Toturi has been on the throne so long that the Hantei are a...

Dude, just Mr T in an RPG. That in itself is awesomness :D

I think that brass knuckles would be covered by the knuckle-duster, which is considered a weapon and doesn't suffer the drawbacks of being unarmed. Going by a strict reading of Street Fighting, you couldn't combine it with the brass knucks, but I don't see too much harm in allowing it as a...

Wow, color me impressed that Siembieda finally got dragged into the 21st century. Especially given his computer-phobia of the past. Now if we can just get him to give the core Palladium system an overhaul... [ sarcasm ]Eh, maybe next decade. Wouldn't want to scare him with too much...

Yeah, but the job also covers those pesky things like rent, groceries, utilities, car loan + insurance + gas, as well as my SW minis habit.
