    Would your group stop a woman from joining?

    I don't think I can concieve gaming with folks who would object to having a girl at the table. Their natural 20s are just as good as anyone else's - no objections from my group!

    What RPGs do you own but haven't played?

    I've got the 5th Ed. Stormbringer rules, but haven't used them. Oh, and I've got an unused copy of GURPS Lite.

    Things I LIKE about Mongoose

    I feel guilty for causing all the furor on the other thread, so I'll chime in with my response: PARANOIA. Opportunity for average Joe to aid in development? Yup. Illuminati Deluxe: The RPG? Yup. One of the best damn roleplaying games around. Period.

    Whats this party missing?

    I actually think a dedicated mage would do the party some good.

    Help with some poetical starship names - and more!

    By a coincidence of cosmic proportions, I was just flipping through Fred Saberhagen's The Berserker Wars today. Might I suggest adding some more succinct Berserker names in? Stuff like "Hell," "Death's Head," "Destructor," etc. ect.

    Catfolk in the realms

    I remember that story. It was in Realms of Valor, IIRC. But they didn't actually look like cats, they just had cat-affinity and cat-like actions (again, IIRC). It wasn't that good a story, but there were one or two neat points.

    Mongoose Publishing's Rep...?

    After poking around this forum a bit, I seem to have found a not-too-positive outlook for Mongoose Publishing. Can people tell me: a) why they feel this way? b) Whether quality for Mongoose's various lines (e.g. the Bab5 RPG and PARANOIA, for starters) is different than Mongoose quality in...

    Races of Eberron *Update - Couple of folks have it - Ask questions here*

    Not being up-to-date on WotC books, upon seeing the thread title, I started envisioning the races of Eberron walking into stores. Don't confuse me like that, you evil people!

    So why monks?

    I think the issue that annoys people is the fact that the monk's a core class. If it were in Oriental Adventures, I'm not sure how the heck people could complain about it (in the sense of fitting/not fitting the standard millieu, not about specific rules for the class). Not too many people...

    Best RPG Books to Read

    Well, I'm really glad to see that you people are enjoying Paranoia so much! For some reason, I always enjoy flipping through the 1E DMG and (if this counts) an old edition of the Warhammer tabletop game, for the tiny, almost hidden, cartoons it had inside.

    Real Men Don't Play GURPS

    I seem to recall that this concept of Real Men and Quiche Eaters was expanded into four categories: Real Men, Real Roleplayers (heirs to the Quiche Eaters), Loonies, and Munchkins. Unfortunately, I don't remember (read: am too lazy) to find the original comparisons between these four archetypes.

    MD-DC-VA Gaming Day Thoughts and Opinions

    Well, if I am not mistaken, Deadlands, D&D 3.5, d20 modern, Mutants and Masterminds, and the edition of CoC that was being used were all d20-based. However, I must have missed the listing for Capes (because I wasn't factoring that in), and I thought Exalted was d20 based (a foolish assumption...

    MD-DC-VA Gaming Day Thoughts and Opinions

    I would suggest making it 9:30, which is still nicer than 9, but allows for a full day of gaming. I wouldn't want to see the con stretching 'till 1 or 2 in the morning. What might be nice is if the con could actually last a couple of days (though I don't know how feasible that is, I'm just...

    MD-DC-VA Gaming Day Game Signup! New Games Added

    Well, I just got back from this, my first con - and it was great. My especial thanks to the organizers, to Jeremiah for running a terribly fun Shadowrun game (damn you, dwarf mage!), Fieari for the Paranoia game, and the gentleman who played Obey-R-DIE in the aforementioned Paranoia game (or...

    M:TG meets D&D

    Wasn't that the abysmal "tribute" which most people agreed failed at life? And just flipping through my Dragon Magazine CD archive, there were plans to fuse AD&D and M:tG existing from back when WotC bought out TSR. Thankfully, these didn't get very far, or else D&D would have been devoured by...

    Dragon Magazine Collections

    I've got 'bout twenty or so from around the late eighties-early nineties, and the CD collection, which was one of the best thirty bucks I've ever spent.

    Oy - GURPS and CoC. I REALLY want to split myself into two people, so I can play both of these games at once. Alas, the tech is still in R&D.

    Miniatures and Your Character

    I'm the DM for my group, and I'm getting minis to represent each of them. Since they've already got characters, it's just a matter of finding minis that match them closely enough. Besides, if I ever go into Mordheim, I'm going to have the coolest warband EVER.
