    Is GenCon still worth it?

    It is what you make of it, if you go with a poor attitude, odds are you are going come away with a bad Gen Con experience.

    Is GenCon still worth it?

    Note, best go with friends and try and do stuff you do not play at home. I know people that have been going for years and do not know what The Stink is. Also, for 1st timers, play in NASCRAG they are a fun and welcoming bunch.

    Campaign Structural Paradigms

    Depend on the system, been playing Zweihander in the Witcher world. Have a couple of plots that are impacting the world but those are background. For the players, I have moved to every action has a re-action game. Basically, the players do something, and I ask what can happen from that...

    Need some good putdowns from a snobbish noble

    It is not the smell that brothers me, it is that there is a smell. Life is good, too bad I can't be somewhere else. Think I met a cousin of yours, half orc named <insert name here> Yes, met your sister last night at the pleasure house. It was a pleasure. I have always heard wonderful things...

    Why do Americans pronounce centaurs "centars"???

    In America we do not speak English, our language is a mash of every European language and others from around the world that we then call English. God, forbid we add in regional accents.

    Is GenCon still worth it?

    S :) Don't take the wrong way but you may just be getting old. As we get old, we sort of drop off the gaming radar. Gaming Culture is a good term for it. I don't have my age breakdown of attendees anymore but here is events to attendees, please note it is events, not seats.

    Is GenCon still worth it?

    You will never know unless you go. I started going back in 1985 and while not making every Gen Con have been to about 25 of them, some have been great, and some have been just okay, but I have never been disappointed. People will say it is too crowded and talk about getting a close hotel...

    Star Wars Reboot

    Add to my post... Think the Jedi would become hidden, you would have them, but any large group will move underground to re-build their numbers as many planets would see them as the reason the empire fell. Treat them like a secret society. They may never become the power they once were, much...

    Star Wars Reboot

    To me you have to address what is happening in the Star Wars Galaxy, The Empire has fallen, the Rebels have taken over (or have they?). You would have to re-build the senate, build law and order, defend against outside foes. What happens with planets that do not want to go back to the old...

    What is the most detailed setting available?

    Warhammer, between all the versions; Fantasy Battles and RPGs and White Dwarf it is very detailed. The you have Bloodbowl for team sports. Forgotten Realms is good but it is too clean.

    How do you make hunting monters fun/interesting?

    Watch videos of how cats (lions) attack and kill, go beyond the monster manual. It is all about taking the prey by surprise and picking the target. As this is a pair, no head on attacks unless it is a set up for the other to attack from behind or above. Yep, above, go 3D, put them in the...

    Need crazy girlfriend input

    Marry her, take her stuff, send her to a convent and take up the Rake profession. It could be all forged docs.

    Need crazy girlfriend input

    As this is Zweihander (Warhammer) use the professions. A provocateur will get in with the character and lead him to a bad end. Hedgewise to curse him. Bounty Hunter for a price on his head. A jester to follow him and make fun of him. Make her the hidden foe. using 3rd parties to mess with...

    How Do You Reduce Your Collection?

    When you come up with an answer, let me know. :) Thinking of selling mine at Gen Con.

    What even is "Rules Medium"?

    It is the happy meal, the goldilocks zone. It supports the most players with the least whining and bitching.

    Zweihander - Grim and Perilous RPG

    Enjoy it, run it in a homebrewed setting. It ca be tough for players to get use to the combat system. Take the time to get a feel for combat and healing. Also, think about your setting, Warhammer works well as do some others. Waiting to see how Blackbirds is.
