First Edition Wraith introduced using safewords much like in the BDSM community so that players could express when they felt you went too far (given that it was far darker and more personal than Vampire, that was probably good advice). You can set up a similar setup and if some of your players...

I stepped on a gnome and I liked it Except for the feel of his pointy hat...

Thank you kind stranger. it has been so long since I've heard news of home.

I thought about doing it with Mage: the Awakening, because I have friends too emotionally invested in the Mage: the Ascension background and hate the new one. I just have to find a way to incorporate two new schools of magic because MtA has more Arcana than D&D has Schools.

Okay, The basic one is CoCd20 which using Sanity hardening to give the characters a level of immunity to insanity (if I ran a D&D/CoC game I would only give it to Paladins and remove their Immunity to fear). Kult combines sanity with increasing levels of power (much like the powers checks of...

You can see the success in the fact that everyone tries to fix "Sanity" from Kult to Unknown Armies to Dread to Don't Rest Your Head.

In terms of darkness both CoC and WoD hold candles to Kult. And it depends on how you run. It's easy to forget in WoD that if you are playing a monster you are a monster and the worst part is that you aren't even the biggest baddest monster out there. The vampires have their elders, the...

Humanspace Empires: It is based off the White Box I believe and it takes place in the imperium that first settled Tekumel from Empire of the Petal Throne. ix

Sixth grade, in Florida at Lincoln Sixth Grade center in the gifted pod, year 1984. The guys started chanting D&D and had found the teacher's copy of the Holmes Boxed set. We played B2 Keep on the Borderlands and I played a thief who stole the ring from the Hermit.

You should really be on top of your classroom, pistol, and rapier management, have a Bosun with a whip as a coteacher or teacher's aide, and a Principal more than willing to make them walk the plank. Sorry, can't help it. Too much professional development this summer. Xp

Yeah, try running a serious hard(ish) SF game when to them science fiction is Star Wars.

You know you have had too much gaming and caffeine when an hour long session takes 5 minutes.

White Wolf didn't retire from the hobby cough*Vampire*cough, they just stopped making d20 supplements after losing the Gamma World and Ravenloft licenses.

Actually HTK was used in the Mayfair Roleaids supplements instead of hit points.

The Starbridge series by A.C. Crispin. It is a series of books she wrote or co-wrote and is about the adventures of first-contact diplomatic teams.

From White Wolf: Why are the twisted minions of the Wyrm so hard to fight? Because when you defeat them there are always four more (formor).

Some translation will be necessary. 3e type saves can be turned into defenses using Unearthed Arcana. And you forgot the BECMI monsters.

With only 27 years of gaming experience and not having seen the full product, just the preview, I'd say it is just a simple Stat + Ability + d10 skill product. Now the weapons do have a lot of stats, as does the armor, but it seems like a decent system. Again, I haven't seen the full copy and...

My own version. Loosely based on the Paizo version. The Cerulean storm has filled the Silt Sea turning it into a water sea about the salinity of the Caspian Sea. Andropinus of Balic's Maenadi have turned him into a supreme naval power and he has taken to colonizing far shores of the sea. A...

Let's see, it happened a lot in World of Darkness: A mage who saw the broken world and tried to fix it and got upset when all her plans failed and burned to the ground. A vampire who kept doing horrific things but still thought and tried to act like a good guy with a humanity of 2. He even...
