And poker/yahtzee (tm?). Officially in FW, straights are significant... unofficially, I really like the idea of having flushes and other hands in there as well. YMMV. But yeah... if you dig nWoD's mechanics, you'll be fine and happy with CTech... Tagers, Nazz/Human relations and Chrysalis should...

Well, back to the OP... Why not work from the SRD and use the implied setting outlined? Cost: $0. That's how I decided to invest in D&D3.5 and D20 Modern... If you'd like things a bit less DIY, I'd actually recommend Blue Rose/True20 - it's a bit different from std D20 fantasy gaming with much...

Framewerk has enough to make it different from Storyteller/SAS to make it worth trying. I particularly enjoy the strategic aspect of playing poker with the dice - but I'd only do that as a contested roll between multiple characters and an NPC. Basically, I'd call the pool out (max of 5, equal to...

Not Reign, but I'm definitely digging ORE. I use it for a Cthulhu-esque game with a wee bit of Godlike low-supers thrown in. I like the added dimensionality of it, especially in combination with Hard and Wiggle dice - it means that the players have some strategic planning to do when challenged...

d100 - sort of a M20 Percentile Hack d100 has roots in M20, but only in that I reduced the number of stats to a more reasonable one. I also thought that removing initiative, having a binary resolution system that was contained in a single roll andhaving some pretty friggin' lethal combat was...

Oh, yeah... can't forget the doughnuts! Don't misunderstand me: it was a good time and a great space and I think everyone appreciated the work that went into the event. It's just that I was making suggestions for the next time, dig? GenCon wasn't built in a day... ;) Hell, I'm thinking of...

Follow-up + Post-mortem Just got done with the event and my Taco Hell... And I have to say, it fits the day pretty well. 1 - The space was pretty good: the lack of outlets or signage and the "in-progress" state of half of the total space didn't help - but it was comfortable, clean and...

Other Food Choices All of which is actually much better sounding than the usual spots for me & mine when we're in Antioch - Jimmy Johns, Culvers and that coffee joint on the hill as you're heading east from 59... However, a more practical question - what's the deal with beverages? If it's...

player number flexibility I think I addressed this with my bumpy text, but to make it clear: I'd LOVE to have more people sign up for the d100 game (did I mention that if you do, you get a free hardcopy of the game SRDs? - I'm working on prettifying the layouts as we speak). BUT... even if...

More pimpin' for the D100 Ashtray game 1 - no, you don't need a "golfball" to play d100 - 2d10 read as tens and ones is what I designed it for... 2 - There's lots of materials to go with the game, but even so I'm expecting the game to get rolling after only 5-7 minutes total of briefing. The...

Dark Lords, Dark Thrones For the current story-game campaign, this is actually the core "hook" - the players are all old-school Red Box dungeon crawlers, but the setting is a semi-realistic 12th century Bavaria as seen through the lens of traditional ghost stories. The fairies aren't nice. The...

Signup + Guest Signups Me... as said previously: I'm wanting in on Grindhouse and I'll have a non-ENworld guest type person with me (Daniel knows her already...) who'd like in on that game as well. A 3rd player will be joining us in the PM and wants in on Hero's Banner... So how should we...

Subversion There are cliches in fantasy beyond the character ones. And they can be wonderful to subvert... 1 - It was all a dream: had fun with this last night with my main play group. The party is traveling on the road through a haunted forest and find themselves "stuck" by the spirits and...

Time Change Request Tres Cool... however, my initial impulse of afternoon was correct: babysitting works better for the whole clan in the afternoon and allows for more participation that way... Can I move to a PM slot, please? EDIT: Thank you for changing that.

d100 is done - just going to give it a quick proof before PDFing and posting here and 1KM1KT. However, the needs of 3 year olds come first... Overview: --System: that squeaky fresh d100 system, natch... --Players: up to 10, shoot for a conservative 5. Anyone who wants to join in after the start...

From the draft of "d100" aka "GrittyDarkness" (at present), the core mechanic: A C T I O N S Anytime a player or NPC needs to do something (use a skill, perform a task, etc.), they are attempting an Action. D100 uses a novel system for calculating a character’s ability in any given activity...

Dammit, Daniel! Ya make me show a bit of steel (and monkey!) last night with Danse Macabre (v1.65), now you have me wanting to finish up the d100 game by the 26th... But, J--, D-- and I are soooooooooooo there for the Grindhouse... And if we're there already I might as well ask - any open...
