There's nothing like a good Paranoia Zap game! Best thing to remember in my opinion ... $#!% always rolls downhill in Paranoia. And since players generally start out at the bottom of the hill, there's always some fun to be had. Start off the game with the mission having already failed ... i.e...

Not a serious game, no. Back in high-school, shot way up in the 30's after defeating a Tarasque with Toothpicks of Slaying. But all of the serious campaigns in any edition tended to putter out around 10th level. I'm running WotBS now and I've got my hopes up for this'n. Get back to me at the...

In terms of the core 3, expanding the breadth of available content makes more sense to me than expanding the depth of existing content. Since we're talking about a class-based system, I prefer classes to be more tightly defined than generic and catch-all. Given that, I don't believe a...

Forked from: Tell me about your D&D group Apologize for the thread necro, but I was curious to see what became of this. I know the results were going to be used for a story in some publication, but I hadn't heard what publication, when/if it was going to be published, etc. Anyone heard anything?

If that was the only game in town, sure I'd play, and I'd probably have fun playing too. But as fond as my memories of playing a Cavalier are, 1E will never be on my preferred game list.

Yeah, it's been painfully slow for me as well. System Reference Document v3.5 still seems to be working though.

I make a couple mistakes each session that the players catch, which mostly involve misremembering seldom used rules. I make plenty of other mistakes based on the way I planned to run the adventure, but unless I give them away with my "oh crap" face, the players never really pick up on those.

The Prince of Persia games (SoT, WW, TT) have some good, heavy tracks injected with a bit of middle eastern flair. If you like Corvus Corax, Cultus Ferox might also work. They inject a more modern take on the medieval music theme by incorporating a lot of metal guitars, heavy drums and some...

10. Under normal circumstances, I should be able to perform such a task well all of the time (take 10). Under duress, I would expect to make a mistake or two before I get it right. For comparison, I would expect an untrained person performing the same task would need a 15+. I would expect a...

Primarily a 3.x game, but we rotate in Call of Cthulhu (5th ed), Deadlands (Revised), or Alternity every few months. I keep trying to bring Mutants & Masterminds into the mix, but my entire group has an immense hatred for anything billing itself as a superhero RPG. <sigh>

Why the assumption that the Ritual casters would be treated as upper-class citizens? If you are talking about gaining the most from this type of mass-production, why pay a Ritual caster well when you can enslave him and force him to work for free? To me, this would be a world where ritual...

I absolutely loved BDGs 3x version of Poisoncraft. When our group moves to 4E, I'll have to remember to check them out (and remember Blue Devil is now edit: Bad Egg).

For as much as my PCs are regularly pounded upon by humanoids, most of their deaths in recent memory have been at the hands of non-humanoids. Been at deaths door numerous times at the hands of elves, but it seems as though our party healers have an easier go getting to me with elves/humanoids...

This thread is very timely as I'm just started looking for game music myself. In addition to many of the above suggestions, I'd like to throw in Faun. They're a German band, and do a lot of instrumentals. But since I don't know German, even the vocal tracks aren't distracting as ambient music...

Never thought of Gust of Wind as the arcane leaf blower before ... nice.

Our core group of four has been together since 2000; we converted from 2E in 2001. The three others currently in our group were between added 2-3 years ago. We've got: Male student, early 20s Male graphic designer, mid 20s Female insurance manager, 28 Male lighting technician, 29 Male software...

Atlas Games has their En Route series of books for Penumbra. I've gotten a couple of side good quests from that. The seeds in here are fairly fleshed out, almost mini adventures unto themselves. But most can be resolved in either an hour or a session at most. PostMortem has their "100...

My taste leans more towards gamist lately. And I use cheat-guides when my controller is threatening to go through my TV (looking at you Ninja Gaiden Sigma).

I played in an evil campaign a few years back while most of our game group was on vacation. The couple of us in our group who played in that brief campaign still reminisce about it. The problem you have to overcome is similar to the problem with the Paladin. Just as people tend to play Paladin's...

My personal preference is for a d20 variant, which is how I voted. However, since my group is only interested in 3.5 [for now], that is what I actually play.
