    Tell me about Savage Worlds

    I love the systen system neutral book. I'll probably use it with Savage Worlds, but it'll be nice to have the Pathfinder supplement as well.

    Best (but simple) Superhero Game out?

    I like Mutants & Masterminds. It plays very well, and I've used it for for super games as well as fantasy using the Warriors & Warlocks supplement. My main problem with the game is that character creation is too complex, and that means more prep time than I like. That said, it's very easy to...

    Tell me about Savage Worlds

    The Sci-Fi Companion would be useful, and I'm very excited about the upcoming Last Parsec setting.

    Tell me about Savage Worlds

    From the official page about plot point campaigns: In my experience, this works as advertised. My prep time in Savage Worlds is quite short compared to Pathfinder.

    Tell me about Savage Worlds

    The real splat books are the Companions (Fantasy, Horror, Super Powers). They contain new rules (Hindrances, Edges, Powers, etc.) as well as advice for running games in the genre, but no setting specific information. Setting books typically have some rules, such as new Edges and Hindrances, or...

    Tell me about Savage Worlds

    Only 4 pages? Have you checked out the current test drive, The Wild Hunt? It's 16 pages, has more rules and includes a complete scenario. I agree with most of what innerdude said. However: Savage Worlds may not be the best rules for superheroes for everyone, but it certainly is for me. I...

    So where are you now?

    True. The Savage Worlds core book is cheap, but filled with so much crunchy goodness! My players learned Savage Worlds tactics the hard way in my WWII Stalingrad campaign. :D Those skills should be equally useful in a fantasy game.

    So where are you now?

    I enjoy Pathfinder as a player. I recently finished the Way of the Wicked Adventure Path by Fire Mountain Games. It was great fun, but as a GM I would prefer something with less rules. Savage Worlds fits the bill nicely. My next campaign will be Weird Wars Rome for Savage Worlds. I would like to...

    Savaged Star Wars Stats & Adventure Conversions

    There are several Savage Star Wars conversions at Savage Heroes. Star Wars 6 (PDF) is very detailed (100+ pages) and has stats for ships, droids and enemies.

    Tannhauser / Cyber-ish minis?

    I believe the Future Wars miniatures are resculpts of the old Grenadier Kill Zone miniatures. The original Kill Zone miniatures are still available. There are even some pre-painted plastic mercs, gangers and soldiers. Not for Rogue Trader specifically, but you can use Inquisitors and retinues...

    Tannhauser / Cyber-ish minis?

    If you are looking for prepainted cyberpunk miniatures, some from Heroclix or Horrorclix may be useful. Perhaps gangsters, guards and agents, if not supers and monsters. I think the bases are too large, but it's easy enough to remove them and stick the minis on standard miniature bases. For...

    Pit Fighter Balance

    The fighter (my character) was stunned for two rounds that fight. The solo (dragon) was flying and my fighter has poor ranged attacks. Even if I had not been stunned, I would have had trouble hitting it before the bard knocked it down. My fighter has some powers that gives him multiple attacks...

    Ranged Daggermaster?

    I play the fighter in question. See below for build. Relevant campaign rules include 25 point build, variant fighter skill list, human variant races (both fighter and rogue have +2 Dex, +2 Any). ====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ====== Nathaniel, level 16 Human...

    Avenging Paladin - Fair or not?

    During my 4E test campaign (KotS), the human fighter did fine with Speed 5 and AC 19 (scale armor and large shield). I believe a paldin would have been equally effective. To address your concerns about speed, there was no question about the defender keeping up with the rest. Instead, the...

    Does anyone like class skills?

    Most of the d20 campaigns I've played in or game mastered have used this rule. It allows for greater diversity and is hardly game breaking.

    Forgotten Realms Player's Guide in the UK?

    My Amazon UK order was delayed (estimated arrival mid to late October). :( I canceled and ordered from one of the Amazon affiliate stores.

    Nice! I've been thinking about this very thing as an excuse to learn how to develop for the iPhone.
