Henry and diaglo are right: Keep everything, and don't let the lack of players dissuade you from continuing to develop the rest of the campaign. Get it all on paper now, while the creative spark is fresh in your mind. Carl

I don't know if this is why the -10 rule was implemented, but it always seemed to me to be a rules patch to create some distinction between being incapacitated and dead. As for its value, I prefer any one of the numerous "wound/vitality"-type systems, which reflect the cumulative effects of...

I'm looking forward to seeing this lineup that they're pasting an AH logo onto. Sadly, I doubt any of it will hold a candle to the wargames that made AH famous. Hope I'm wrong about that.

Hey Maverick, Since Glassjaw's got a couple openings now, I'll switch over to the Grim Tales game and take some of the load off Piratecat. Thanks. CarlZog

I'm with Psion on this, and not just 'cause he sounds like Baretta... :cool: Manage the threat to characters on the front end, not the back. Carl

Whoops. Never mind. I need to pay more attention to older pages before responding to the latest post. :o I thought it was 10 percent too. Carl

Based on nothing but anecdotal evidence and my own gut instinct, I'm inclined to agree with this. Only one or two people (the DMs) are buying most of the stuff in an average game group; it's certainly true in our group. This is a small hobby to begin with. If for every group of five or six...

That's interesting! Here I was thinking how awful he must feel to be the one who got axed out of all the possible future projects this franchise may have to offer. What else is he working on? On the other hand, given the typecasted fate of the original Star Trek cast, maybe the smart thing for...

What exactly is it you need that regular d20 rules alone aren't giving you? Are you looking to model large scale battles? If so, you may want to take a look at the numerous d20 mass combat rules books that have been published. I haven't used any of them, but if you query these boards about such...

Is your original question because you're looking for such a set of rules? Or because you're thinking about designing one?

I just started replaying this too, having been reminded of it by another recent thread.

Both of the these caught my attention too. I'm eager to see this again for those nuances of development. Especially since some of the movie was way too blunt for me, like the argument over leaving people behind and Mal's history in the war -- little too cliche. Another more subtle touch I...

A few, if you count convention one-shots, but none that I played in an ongoing game. I'm definitely the type of person who MUST have the manual, whether it's an rpg, a computer game, or even just the owner's manual for a toaster. (I have a file folder of the manuals for EVERY piece of...

Oh sure it could. It would just be a little different. Kaylee and Simon replace Zoe and Wash as the boat's open romance. Mal continues to dance with Innara. River's in the pilot's seat and Zoe grapples with her loss. Open slot for another character. Carl

I never liked Otus either. His art was too stylized for me, almost to the point of seeming abstract some times.

Maybe I've made a rash assumption that they were the bad guys behind her development in the first place... Are they somebody else altogether?

Arx Fatalis I'll also echo the Planescape: Torment sentiments. Don't judge it on the morgue. I liked Arcanum too, but it pays to read the manual a bit ahead of time to get a feel for the settting and the system. Carl

I don't keep track of what is or isn't on PS2, 'cause I've only got an Xbox, but a few of the rpgs I liked on Xbox: Morrowind Arx Fatalis Knights of the Old Republic Bard's Tale sounds fun, but I haven't picked it up yet. Carl

Oh, that was a fun way to start the day!

I think I walked into this movie with a lot of expectation that probably made it unfair to judge on its own merits. Right or wrong, I really assumed this movie would written more like a setup for a renewed series or at least a couple more movies. While those doors are obviously wide open, I was...
