There are so many possibilities. Bring in Car Wars. Put all 16 players into 1 area all with the same car (or limit the switch out options). Use Hero system and let people fight their builds of different heroes to see which hero can rise to the top. DC versus Marvel. Warhammer 40k Mechwarrior...

With there being two competing parties, if no one brings a Head of Vecna to tempt the other party, I will be sad.

Probably too rule heavy but I find GURPS easy to run with a lot of the heaviness being in the character creation. I also like the Dresden Files but haven't run it so not sure how heavy it really is in play.

I used to run AL games at my local game store but my schedule got too hectic to be sure I was going to be there. I played at SDCC but I normally don't even play at conventions.

The systems that have rolls for activating spells usually have much more spells available. GURPS, HERO, Deadlands (deck of cards) and there is more customization. When you change a core part of how D&D's magic system works you start making the balance odd. Also, rolling for success should...

I am completely happy with players rolling initiative even if they are trying to get the jump. Either the enemy acts normally until combat starts or they catch on the players trying something. Otherwise any enemy that can hide (or be invisible) and then jump out at players would always get to...

Clearly the best post apocalypse RPG is Paranoia. It is the future we are headed to.

For the other, I've always loved the pick 3 GURPS books and run a campaign generator. I usually like to do a quick city generator when the city isn't the focus of the current campaign but the players are passing through. I love insult random generators especially for NPCs. And Random Name...

For Gamemastering, I love the Lion's Den app. You just have to find all the xml files. I've made a few of my own and found some resources with the files.

What we need is Dream Park .5. Virtual Reality based dungeons / escape rooms that people complete and have their times and scores recorded. Local, regional, national and world wide competitions. Each player can have multiple characters and they select the character for each event. But the...

There really are so many classless systems I don't understand why people try to turn D&D into them. GURPS, RuneQuest, Traveller, Unknown Armies, Shadowrun, Hero, and so many more. Or even semi class systems like Rolemaster. I can't play modern or future games in a class based system it just...

I ran a short lived game at work in the Expanse Universe using GURPS. I like the universe and so did 2 others but we just couldn't keep finding the time. Unique things about the Expanse. Hard science setting except for reactionless thrusters. (The Drive may use small amounts of fuel but no...

Maybe it is an age thing but I find too much music distracting. I've tried with different audio effects but it can be hard to hear everyone.

I love playing Starfire and Starfleet Battles and I have every issue of Nexus. Starfire Design studio is doing some interesting work with the Starfire licensing working on a great 4X game that has a lot of flexibility. Building an empire and exploring the universe is a lot of fun. I haven't...

I backed the Saga tiles and still waiting for them to resolve the die cut problems. Should be great once I get them.

Pete Apple I have the authorization I need. Just stare into this porthole from my Mark IV bot. I'm sending the authorization now.

The second edition is much improved over the first edition. And reading all the modules (especially the ones by John M. Ford) are a joy by themselves. Players really need to keep meta game knowledge separate from game knowledge as everyone knows they other players are mutant secret society...

I enjoyed playing a number of one shots over the years. Still have the books, haven't played it in a while.

The Graphiz program can handle your map if you have multiples of the same star in different hexes. To clean that up you would just need to define all the pairs. The other programs allow for more customization of the map (such as clusters and size of clusters)

Make it cartoon supers and go with Toon
