Yeah, Mutants & Masterminds certainly allows you a certain amount of freedom while not being totally tied down to strict d20 rules. I guess what I am saying is that M&M offers flexibility that strict d20 does not.

I like the idea of undead. Honestly, they provide low level threats, middle level threats and high level threats (again all in the same theme). Furthermore, there are ones that have no intelligence and personality (skeletons and zombies) and those range to ones with lots of intelligence and...

Phil Reed puts out quality material. Frankly, a 4.2 seems too low to me. ;)

Its funny, for me M&M pretty much revolutionized supers games. Before, I felt that all supers games were bad - you just had to find the one that was least bad. For the first time in my gaming life, I found a supers game that not only does what I want it to do but also gives me the sense that...

In college the Sci/Fi fantasy group I belonged to organized a gaming con every year. It seemed that we had a lot of people show up but I had no idea what they did because they never seemed to do anything other than play Magic. I would say we managed to draw about 150 people to our little...

Great idea! The only thing you need to ask yourself is whether or not you have a group you trust to do this without it turning into a power-mad murder fantasy. I think running a group of mind flayers would be a challenge, myself, as there may be some players who would have a rough time getting...

I am for anything that prevents the mage rush. The only thing that bugs me about AoO is when people step back, I say, 'well that provokes an AoO' and I get the response, 'nope, I took a five foot step.'

I'll agree that it would not take too much to combine the two but it would take some work, honestly.

In the current climate there is no way I could suggest anything OTHER than d20. If d20 is something you really despise then it may be worth it to wait a year or two in order to see past the d20 juggernaut.

You aren't the only person I have heard of who feels this way. I think that there are certain comfort levels that people have with characters. For instance, take the player who enjoys wizards or fighters (as two opposite extremes). The wizard player likely falls into a 'trap' of bookish or...

I admit that I was suspicious of the WLD when I first heard about it but when I looked through it, I was sold. That is a very solid product and AEG certainly had gained a great deal of credibility with me.

der kluge, Actually I think the system is fair for running games. They clearly ask you up front to run 4 games of 4 hours each that can accomadate 6 players each. It really is not a lot to ask to get a free badge. I have been doing it for a few years now and it seems kind of fair. I guess...

Yeah, Ebay is the best way to go for a bunch of cheapies.

Bah! I just wish my players celebrated GM's Day.

Let's see . . . here obviously, the Mutants & Masterminds board, the GenCon board and Nothingland. Of course, all of those boards each cater to something a little different. Naturally, this is not even counting the numurous comics forums I post on which touch on gaming from time to time.

What is the preorder website?

If Monte's campaign setting is a good as his other products then the price is not all that important to me. I would much rather pay 120 bucks for top of the line items than 30 bucks for something which does not meet my expectations.

An ENWorld floor sounds nice and all but the problem (for some) may be the committment involved. I think there are lots of people who decide to go to the con at the last minute. Admitedly, the ENWorld crowd sounds like the type that probably has all their acts together early on, but as nice as...

A few years ago I had a scientist/wizard who performed unusual but somewhat harmless experiments on animals and other races as well as some rather nasty experiments. The characters discovered that part of his experiments involved getting animals to talk and awaken a certain amount of...

Tact-Tiles really are great. I almost bought them at GenCon this year but waited until the last day (not wanting to lug them around very long). Sadly, they were sold out and that should be a sign that they are a quality product.
