    Can I Make My Games More Like Pirates of the Carribean?

    There is no reason for this to have to happen, but if you just gloss over it, you're missing out on a lot of the fun. First, you must be willing to de-emphasize the tactics of d20, and play a little fast and loose with the rules. Second, there are a couple keys to making this work: - Ditch the...

    Is this a Spycraft vehicle, or what?

    Cool! Hey, as long as we're talking about spycraft vehicles, have you seen this? Not just an amphibious car, but an amphibious car with built-in hydrofoils!

    They'd revoke my D&D gamer license if they knew....

    I actually think that ought to earn you an upgrade to your license. Carl

    Should Campaign Settings include a metaplot?

    I agree. I like having a publisher give me several ideas, but don't tell me what's going to happen regardless of what I do. I also don't think a metaplot is necessary to a good campaign. A "campaign setting" can be just that: a setting, a location fixed in time. It doesn't have to come with its...

    GangBusters RPG (TSR) Historical Gaming Discussion

    This is my philosophy as well, although I do recognize that a great many other gamers demand a steady flow of supplements, settings and adventures for any system they'll consider playing. Their loss, in my opinion. By the way, I never owned Gangbusters, but I, too, am a big fan of historical...

    Totally Obscure Game of the Day

    Stomp A mini-game from Chaosium. There's a giant in the garden and the elves are trying to bring him down. One player plays the giant, represented by two counters -- one for each foot. The elves try to trip him up, he tries to squash the elves. Great fun. I still have a copy, but probably...

    Totally Obscure Game of the Day

    I do. One of my favorites. It was pretty big in Britain before TSR published their version. I always wanted to get a nice set of it made with metal pieces -- like a good chess set. Carl

    Totally Obscure Game of the Day

    Aces of Aces rocks, though I hardly think it's obscure. Just old. I never got into Lost Worlds.

    How do I defend against the neighbors?

    Alzrius, I think you, and this whole thread, are probably jumping the gun worrying about this at all. I doubt they're going to invest a lot of energy in some malicious vengence just 'cause you towed their car. While you have every right to be angry if your driveway is blocked, the tone of...

    Friends, Roman, Countrymen...Welcome to the Circvs!

    Boy, you're scraping the bottom of the barrel, if I'm what you're holding up. :p

    Hawaii!!!

    Mmmmm, Spam delicacies. I'll have to try that. God help me, I love that stuff. I once worked for a Captain who made an awesome "Spam a l'Orange". OK, now I'm hungry. Carl

    Resurrection

    The snow was quite a novelty for me the first few winters up here. I still don't really mind it, but I can't take the biting cold anymore (pretty much anything below about 25° F), and I've made it clear to my bride that if we're not already working in the islands next year, we're going become...

    Who Else Has Never Been To Gen Con?

    Fair enough. But after attending twice, I can say that you'd probably be surprised how much there is to it. There's something to appeal to just about eveybody. Carl

    Who Else Has Never Been To Gen Con?

    Good Lord! I can understand not being able to, but no desire?!? Can you really be a gamer and not hear the call to Mecca? Carl

    Why people like to play OD&D (1974)

    If you're old enough, you play it for nostalgia. If you're young, you play it as a historical exercise. Carl

    I've got a couch that works kinda like that.
