I second that. The boys did a great job on the "how to run this" gig, and the two -- TWO -- introductory adventures gave two great tonal options for a campaign. Drak*Matter is still one of the best setting books ever published. Period.

It's the "d" everyone assumes is in the name. That IS the British spelling. I am D-less and only one generation down from County Roscommon in the Ould Country. Which can be confirmed by my weak-ass beard. My Welsh friend called me and chewed me out. "Saw The Core commentary. None of us but...

DM's NOTES: Sorry if the wrap-up there seemed a little quick. But just as the big combat was starting (and this wasn't intended to be the end, I had planned a stand-off at the local hydroelectric plant powering the n-dimensional transmitter...) Denis pulled me aside. "I want to call Hoffman...

GONE MISSING Chapter 10: Denis reached the front window of the first floor of Eliot's home, looked though it. Jo and some sort of goo-spewing, razor-jawed alien were running at each other at full speed down the center of Main Street, screaming, her guns blazing, some sort of whirring metal...

As somebody who originally peed all over the nonlethal damage rules, I have to say I've come around, primarily because of the great, GREAT rules in BLOOD & FISTS. My one problem with the NL rules, which non of the system apologists (and again, I think it's generally spiffy) is the max unarmed...

Having used, and gutted for my own various homebrews, both sytems, I'll toss a tie. But I WILL weigh in on the superscience/magic discussion, as I've done pulp adaptations and a low-sci-fi tech adaptation. I don't think it's completely unfair to fault D20Modern for not having superscience or...

Exactly as stated. With a pithy quote and oodles of firepower.

See, I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. But I can understand, after your long experience, your justified cynicism. My foster brothers and friends who served (I was the only one of the oh, six or seven of us who went to college instead of going in) are also quite blunt as to the...

Oh, sorry, I believe you missed the point that he was making to me. He was joking. He was using "box" metaphorically. He knew all my terms were incorrect. He was simply reminding me that whatever the fine folk of the United States Government gave him to shoot at other folk with, he used...

I'm actually very interested in whether this is more of an entry-level game, accounting for the bulk. This could be a real wedge campaign for bringing in new players. Did you know they sold more SG-1 DVD"s in Europe last year than they did James Bond DVD's? There's a base there, finding...

Seriously. Good frikkin' lord. Is there no professional courtesy or humility on these boards? I'll grant you this. In the "armor plating thickness to the millimeter" scale, "we're all tech fans who play in my campaign" style, B&G probably has more than a few problems. In the "entry level...

/rant Not to start a flame war, but I gotta step in here. " B&G has some interesting parts I will borrow for my own games, but the lack of research and attention to detail is quite unfortunate." THAT's the sentence I, and I think a few others, have problems with. Everything up to that point...

Do not, DO NOT. It's like the graduate school of geekiness. It's a whirlpool, man, it'll suck away days on the web. I barely escaped with my life. Crap, now I have to go google it again.

Sadly, my lovely wife of eleven years -- a complete and total NON-GAMER, might I add -- would be a little upset at me running off to set up an RPG threesome. Then again, California is a community property state. She may be more amenable than at first thought. I will check for a place in the...

300 pages. SINGLE SPACED? God, that's practically a real job. Terrifyingly, the new member of our game group os attempting a novel, I'll have to quiz him on the agonies. You'll have to settle for the website. It still percolates -- been travelling quite a bit this summer, with a bit more of...

The website still percolates -- been travelling quite a bit this summer, with a bit more of a workload than I anticipated. I hope we can have something bare-bones up this month. Trick is, I don't want to put it up without having at least three good articles finished for it, in a very specific...

Quick explanations. The blade challenge is an iajutsiu ... whatever duel from Oriental Adventures. Real anime speed-line feel to Indigo's first round. Adpating the Samurao class for other settings, I think, finally produces the feel of a swordsman rather than just a generic fighter. Indigo...

CH. 9: "In which our heroes discover the inmates are not only running the asylum, they got their hands on a tactical nuke." Indigo tried to rise, but her knee kept going out from under her. Her intestines would not ... go ... in ... The room spun, fell away into grey -- Like all battlefield...

Huh, I was actually working on a universal FX system. What's your source, save ma whackload of trouble.

I love this mental image. Just a vocie-over as Anvil speaks. "Is he still talking? Gods, this can't be right. Nobody loves justice this much. Just Jimmy McJust, Winner of the ALl-Justice Just-off didn't love justice this much ... Nope, still talking. Wonder if we can figure out some way...
