I wonder...Would it be appropriate for these "tweaks" of an OGL Imperial Age to include things like feats or talent trees which may be appropriate for the Imperial Age but might not stand on their own as a product? Just a thought.

I just completed The Obsidian Eye from Dungeon #120 with my group. Enjoyable, even if in need of some minor tweaking. If nothing else it has a very nice Oasis with roleplaying ops for those that wish it.

Faeries is coming! I have been assured that its been edited and is (or has been) in layout. It and the Penny Dreadful swapped places on the schedule and it should be forethcoming soon. I appretiate Merov's comments about desired products, as I see several things in that list I could work on...

Oh noes! But he is the idol of millions! Wont someone please think of the children!

To jump on the bandwagon: Love GURPS source books, do not love the mechanics. Did play a few interesting games with it, but those had less to do with the rules than the campaign. Also, loved the concept of Mutants and Masterminds but found it just didnt do what I wanted it to do. My players...

Wayback when I used GURPS Steampunk+Steamtech to run my first game ever. Wasnt a huge success. Etherscope is an excelent resource for running a "etherpunk" game. It has its own system and setting. Even thought I have never run it as is I have cannibalized it to add elements to many of my...

I am planning on starting The Obsidian Eye by Nicolas Logue and Brendan Victorsan from Dungeon 120 (March 05) for my group of 4th level PCs. I have a druid, warblade, warlock, and an iron witch (from Arcana Evolved, with feats to access fire and electricity Complex spells). Several of the...

Oh, I know. I just wanted it to be clear to our non-American members that just because a big deal is made about the Republicans and the Democrats, and their primaries/caucuses, doesnt mean that come Nov. there are not other names on the ballot and even if you voted in one of the primaries...

I love alt.history stuff (or rather I go through phases where I do) and have bought a good deal of alt.history game related material (Mostly GURPS- but then they are the king of that kind of thing) but have actually run very little of it. For a long time that was partly due to the fact that I...

Hearing how caucuses work makes me glad I live in a state that does primaries. It was very simple. My wife and I walked into our polling place, showed our drviers licences to prove we were who we said we were and had our names crossed off a list, moved down the table and were asked which...

Another vote for Eberron, specifically Sharn. All the magictech stuff you could want - including a playable magitech making class called the Artificer, construct PCs, beastman PCs, elemental powered airships and trains, sky scrapers and elevators. And room for just about anything you want to...

The only time not by RAW is in the occasionally heavily house ruled game- typically oneshots or minicampaigns -where lots of things are changed for various setting/flavor/feel reasons. In the current campaign (with me as DM) and in the last (with a different DM) and in the last few before that.

IIRC, the reason was they were labor intensive, non intuitive, and the instructions amounted to "Here are some pictures of pieces of a tower, have fun with that." Preperforated, quick to construct, quick to take apart, easy to store, of things that would see use regularly. Those I would buy...

Good for you! My only advice for someone about to go off to college is this : Don't get to hung up on anyone thing. Grades are important, learning is important, social life is important, doing new things is important, just dont go overboard on any one thing and you will have a great time, do...

Great, I am glad people like these. Since its already been announced here and elsewhere as forthcoming I can say that I have been told IA Faeries will be out within the month. I have also been told to "pitch away." Given that my contributions so far have been more on the supernatural side of...

R'lyeh I recognize, but what's Tanelorn and where is it from?

We already have a thread on Greatest Fantasy Cities, but what I am looking for some truely unusual cities (which may include some of from the other thread I suppose). Looking for cities whose location, inhabitants, or dominant features make them different than the run of the mill fantasy city...

Either Eddie' Special (Japanese style stir fry of beef and chicken, a little spicy, with vegetables and white rice) from Shono's or Meat Lover's Deep Dish from Tortuga's - an actual Chicago Pizza Place transplanted to Birmingham, AL so the owner could be near his grandkids. EDIT: although...

Ah, particularlly apt that the "little town in the South" was the fictional county of Beechum, Alabama and thus not to different from places and people I am around everyday. So no, not kidding.
