I'd recommend Mutants and Masterminds as well. It's D20 and OGL but it's so different from D&D that it might as well be a seperate game. It doesn't have much compatibility w/other sources. It's really easy to learn though, if that's your only concern about non-D20 products. I've played...

Personally, I've always wanted to play a (relatively) hard sci-fi- no artificial gravity on the ships, very little ship-to-ship combat, only humans,etc. Kind of a Stanislaw Lem, Tales of the Pilot Pirx setting. None of my players were ever been interested, though. :( You should ask your...

Your score says "casual geek," but your avatar says otherwise... -------- I got a 550, and I do believe in the Zen of Tony Hawk.

One tricky thing w/sci-fi games is giving PCs access to spaceships. B/c if they have one, that means they can go ANYWHERE, and that makes planning adventures a lot more difficult. And if they don't have one... Well, they'll do anything in their power to get one. That's why I'm a big fan of...

Yeah, Palladium had some good stuff. I played in a 2nd Ed. D&D game that used lots of the cities and a couple of adventures out of Book II, The Old Ones. The DM had to convert stuff, of course, but it was a lot of fun. It had a really massive dungeon, evil curses, and lovecraftian gods...

I'm all for killing off a party or a character as the consequence of their own stupidity, but I also think a DM should give PCs a chance (or two) to realize it beforehand. Characters know a lot more about the world they're in than the players do. Let them make an intelligence roll, or...

New to DMing, huh? The first thing I learned (the hard way) is that the players NEVER do what you expect them to. EVER. These guys probably won't even go to see the king in the first place. Personally, I've found that players hate the whole working-for-an-important-NPC bit. A good way to...

Yeah, the old lumberjacking hook. Get's 'em every time.

:lol: Blech. I just puked on my keyboard. You should put warnings on jokes that bad. :D

Where do Lemork, Karomel(Caramel? :) ), and Dorinae keep their corporeal bodies? Could they be killed? or usurped? Have such things happenned in the past? What are the types of exchange gems and their relative value (=X diamonds). How do the council of elders obtain their positions, other...

No way. Planes are cool. We need more of them.

In D&D, it's assumed that the gods live in these distant planes and kinda' beam powers down to their worshippers and priests. Personally, I like it when Gods are little more terrestrial. They could live on some mountain, under the ocean, a flying citadel, or that sort of thing. Somewhere...

How much does it cost to board the floating island, and how long does a trip to the continent of the undead take?

Add All Flesh Must Be Eaten to my list. Then all I need is a shotgun and direction to the nearest mall...

I like it, but if I was a player I'd prefer it to be even more freeform than that. Don't bother w/the rolling, just let people pick out the PC they want to play that night. That way you won't end up w/an all wizard party. (unless that's what people want.) You'd have to run real episodic...

Nahhh... That's just keepin' things interesting. I call it the A-Team game b/c at the beginning of every episode you have to break Murdock out of the asylum. It's fun to do stuff like this every once in awhile. Once I skipped ahead 6 months, starting the PCs in the middle of a massive combat...

:D ...

Well as to how you'll want to roleplay it, I dunno- That's your call. But just b/c yr a ghost doesn't mean you have to be spooky. There's all kinda cool stuff you could do w/a ghostly character... What are you going to do for powers? Insubstantial + x:continuous + f: permanent +...
