Funny. I would have said Darke was being "hopeful" rather than "simplistic". Cynicism is an easy refuge, and practicality always has a naturally superior ring to it. I've lived in downtown NY, LA, and Montreal, which I hope are ethnically diverse and urban enough settings so my opinion isn't...

I thought the classes were interesting, balanced, and easily convertible to advanced classes for D20 Modern folks. The WarMek rules were fan-damn-tastic. The "build-a-company" rules weren't as clear or simple as they could be, but obvioulsy well though out. But glossy pages AND background...

I see what's going on here. Your LA "daddy" (DM) isn't giving you the love you need, so you going looking for a better "daddy". Oh, P-Cat's so nice. Oh, he spends hours working up his adventures for his PC's .... Have you SEEN what he DOES to those people? Frikkin' GYGAX would read those...

Glad she does -- I think we just got picked up for another season. Oh, and thanks, I forgot about CoC psi.

Hmm, makes me think SAVAGE WORLDS might be a good conversion , though ... anyway, yes, most of the creatures have counterparts in the creatures seciton of D20 Modern, and Knowledge(Lore) and Knowledghe(Weird Sci) might be useful. A magic intensive game wold be tricky as its more ritual based...

By the way. Morgenstern, you know me as lover of all that is SPYCRAFT, and I used the system for my Pulp game and story hour. Got some questions aboout some materials I'm going to do on my website and some general fanboying to do. Could you drop me a line at the e-mail address in my profile or...

DarkMatter, regardless of what you think of the Alternity system, is a must buy. I have all the above titles, and that's the one I keep going back to.

Majestic 12 will be explained next post. It is a total conspiracy geek reference, and when you know Sully is a Scully stand-in ... well you'll see. If I were DMing this on a regular basis, the FEMA guy would so be back. I love recurring villains--in my Scarred Lands campaign, Ross has...

GONE MISSING Chapter 7 At the school, Andy and Ross dialed in to the same frequency Jo was reporting to Denis on. "You mean the bodies are incomplete?" Denis waved them off. "Get Stephen please." They waited. Through the radiolink they could hear Jo call Stephen over. Finally he hooked...

Hey spy, just letting you know I'm still reading and will e-mail you back about the gamer exchange as soon as the bad men who pay me for scripts get their pages this week. Give a yell when you want me to read your opus.

Scarred Lands. The city books are fantastic, and each has a distinctly different campaign feel. There's an awful lot of politics mixed in there, just not kept front and center.

CH. 7: "Wherein our heroes bask in the glory of an iconic figure, and find it leaves something to be desired." The party crested yet another one of the infinite blood red ridges. Yet more vast stone mesas rose before them. Indigo leaned back in her saddle. Up, down, up down, four damn days...

Ah, the international dollars roll in. Yes, the broadcast was in Italian, I believe. And although we got buried beneath the Bringin' Down the House landslide her ein the States, we were number one in most Asian countries for a few weeks. I'm desperatley hoping a manga mini-series is to...

Although I prefer MnM, I just have to recommend DNW for sheer game-design goodness. He's a little class-happy (not a huge fan of too many classes) but just.. wow. You can't go wrong buying that book for the price of two slices of pizza and a coke.

It's the Alec/Argent thing -- got me too for a while and I was running the darn game. Well, seeing as the group just this week actually went through some membership changes, I don't want to dig out the originals, but here's a handy scorecard. In order of appearance: TAGGART -- the guy with...

CH. 6: "Wherein our heroes drink whiffy beer and grudgingly participate in a hoary plot device." Even Argent, pressed as he was to save the lives of the soldiers, paused to watch Vivian Godwyn's blood seep through needle-thin channels within Rupert's glass arm. One by one, small dials turned...

Re: Re: Re: A Strong Woman Actually, I was pointing out "strong female character" and "action lead" weren't incompatible, as I thought you were in your post. If you go back, your post does seem to imply "strong female lead" means girlie emotional stuff and is useless in an action film, vis a...

Nice system. Thanks!

Re: Olaf, soon to be a troll? God, I wish I'd thought of that. But now you made me remember this is the last season of Buffy, and I must go cry in my special place.

Re: A Strong Woman As opposed to say ... Ripley. Boy, did that character not work as an action lead. :rolleyes: As the guy who just adapted Queen & Country, I sincerely hope that attitude turns out to be incorrect. To Spatula's lament, however, I will rise to the film-maker's defense...
