I think he meant Magic: The Gathering - where is you have 1 pt of life left, you are just as good as having full; as he made a comparison to the about HP.

I build them to be adventures, but their backstory is that they wanted to be an adventurer since they could walk (or swing a stick). So completely in character and history, and completely ready for the game when it starts.

I've not seen a lot of shows, but my list. Kingston Trio (I was like 8, my parents went and I was dragged along. From what little I can remember it was fun). Styx - Kilroy was Here tour. I loved the whole concert within a play thing. Eurythmics - Touch tour - Howard Jones opened. That was a...

I considered that one of the worst stories in the history of Marvel Comics... so no.

I've bought some games and books that I don't intend to use directly, but can utilize otherwise. I have a lot of GURPS Supers, V&V, SAS and other just to convert or steal ideas for the Champions game I was running. Now I buy every game using the Cypher system, just in case setting ideas grab me...

One other thing on the subject - for the last couple years all my gaming has been 1 on 1 - 1 GM and 1 Player - not a good place for PVP - the GM always wins.

It's not foreign so much as something I don't find entertaining. And my group are all pretty like minded. Other people enjoy it, I don't, so I don't take part in that. I don't mind a little personality clash (at worst Superman/Batman or Wolverine/Cyclops, but prefer it less that that) - but I...

I would have voted "I look upon it with the loathing that amounts to absolute detestation" I have lots of interpersonal conflict in real life - I like to play my games and enjoy getting to put that behind me and group up with a bunch of friends to co-operatively beat up demons, devils or...

For me - my original post addressed it, but I will also say here - the genres I like to play (high fantasy, Superhero and the like) I want characters that are heroic and selfless because they choose to be, and be good guys. I played it one game that was explicitly evil, quit at 2 month, and if...

Mostly complexity in play. Two of my most played games are different examples of that. HERO - there is a huge amount of detail and complexity in creating a character, but at the table it's roll compare to number, roll damage. Skill are roll under. While there can be situational bonuses or...

In general if I am running a game, I'm looking for a particular tone. If the players don't want that tone, then another in the group can GM (we all have at one point, so that isn't a "Take my ball and go home" kind of statement that it could sound like). If I am GMing in a public place I make it...

The Court almost looks a staged portrait or a old school photo. The third is minimalist. The Wild hunt is the only one with a sense of action and dynamic to it - that was what I liked most about it.

When I see the preview image of the spiderfolk I want to say "Hello there".

Ease of use. We have two XP decks from Monte Cook (A Numenera one and a cypher one) they look different. One is for bennies and one is for xp, using the card design to separate function. It's not like I'm trying to change the thing around aside from personal use, so nomenclature is irrelevant in...

Weren't they the ones who put out a book of magic rings, and the entire thing was sort of an ad to go to their website and actually buy the ring to use as a prop.

I think the most common houserule I've seen is to just split XP in 2, half to 4 pt advancement half to short term benefits.

I use a "do over" often in one situation - when I am running a one on one game for my wife (or she for me). The focus is on inhabiting the character and the story. So solo gaming has weaknesses that group games don't - and one of those is bad dice leading to death; in a group game you create a...

I also love Cypher, so I will respond as well, even though I'm not who the question was directed at. I think Cypher fills a niche that is almost impossible to fill and it does a great job of it. It walks the line of trad system/narrative approach. And that is why everone says "I want to like...

I think this is the first dragon magazine I owned. The revised monk became the standard in my games the day I read the article.
