Keep in mind this was 30 years ago (yes I am old). We were using the FASA rules, so circa 1983. We gamed in my friend's basement in Michigan, so we could more or less leave things set up as we needed them. We had chairs set up around tables so as to approximate the bridge stations on the...

I too used to buy WAY too much rpg material. Then one day decided enough was enough...I never even PLAYED many of these games. So I selected half a dozen systems to keep (at first), then promised myself the only way I would buy more game stuff is from the sale of my OLD game stuff. made life...

To answer your question, all you really need to play Mongoose Runequest II is the Core Rulebook and the Monster Coliseum book (for more opponents to fight.). That is all we are currently using in my group, and all we HAVE been using for the past two years...and we love it! TGryph

Yes...four of them WAY back in the day... The Wild Warriors - Issue #133 Bonds of Brotherhood - Issue #164 The Other Orientals - Issue #189 To All a Good Knight - Issue #195 Good Times. TGryph

Have you considered the newest Mongoose version of Runequest? It is the game system that pulled me and my group away from D&D, which I have been playing for over 30 years. Very interesting system for PC generation that allows for different types of characters - yet it doesn't get in the...

For places, the Thesaurus is your friend. Find a descriptive word about the place, find another word to use instead of it, and presto! I also use real-life languages for different areas of my game worlds...these people here speak a language that sounds like German, these speak a Spanish...

Very nice! Thank you for that! TGryph

Local Dollar Store...bag of plastic snakes (around a dozen) for a dollar. Includes a wide variety or colors and markings. If too large, trim to size with a pair of scissors. TGryph

This is what I use. It was designed for CCG, but works very well for my Gurps game. The back zipper part hold my 3 basic Gurps hardcover books I use, plus my mini case for that particular session, plus my 3x5 index card file. The middle zipper area holds my GM screen, plus and loose pages and...

As a Gurps GM, there are several items I keep on my bookshelf that have aidied me so much over the years in my campaign design that I would be lost without them, such as A Good Thesaurus - a must for good descriptive writing Various English to ? Dictionaries - very helpful for place and people...

Same here, but I think my reluctance comes from the James Dallas Egbert Fiasco that happened right after I started playing. Plus, being from Michigan, we were in the backyard of that nutjob who started the old BADD thing. TGryph

As can I . Several great exchanges! TGryph

When my group got tired of D&D 3.5 and was looking for a different system, we chose HARP. We played it bi-weekly for a year, then decided it wasn't working for us. As was stated, everything but combat was great - chargen (which to be honest, like Gurps, was intensive but fun). Spell casting was...

Ah! Correct Sir! Thank you! TGryph

I am not certain if this is actually an error, but on page 3 where it mentions if A Certain Creature in Encounter #2 is required to make an unexpected Insight Check, you'd use it's total Wisdom Check modifier (the second number in parenthesis after it's Wisdom score). But shouldn't you add half...

Yes, I got it last night and read it this morning. It seems like a nice little intro to the system. I will be running it here in Charlotte next Saturday, and looking forward to my first D&D game in years! TGryph

We game on alternate Sundays. ONnthe Friday before, I send out an e-mail giving a detailed account of last session. I tend to jot down notes during play, and try to make sure everyone's character gets mentioned at least once. My session recaps tend to run a bit (maybe 10-12 paragraphs depending...
