Oddly enough, I'm looking forward to some of the more mundane minis: the prisoner and Hobgoblin Marshal for example. The golems look good, too. And I'm happy about more Kuo Toa (not that they're news anymore). Sadly, seems like there are a lot of humanoid (meh) rares. KY - I wouldn't put much...

One thing you might try is using a "sleeper" - and it sounds like you have a good candidate already. Feed your interested player some information prior to the game, specifically to be used in the game - questions, backstory, event knowledge, whatever. Anything to give him a direction at some...

Amen.

It depends on the game and the system. Savage Worlds makes using Extras (both allied and not) easy, and their settings usually take advantage of that, so after the characters have advance a bit, our games tend to have lots of allies running around. (SW can also be deadly, so having extra allies...

Those are some cool looking minis.

As a GM, I switched from D20 to Savage Worlds a few years ago. As far as running games goes, I won't go back. Ever. I am looking at running a C&C game sometime soon as well (and recently picked up the classic 1st edition AD&D books again), and I've been known to pop out Over the Edge or other...

I can't make it to 10, because most of their products suck, but I do have one: 1. The Primal Order Great sourcebook.

I smelled an awful lot of ifs and maybes from that article. Not much of substance. Remainder removed by admin. Once again, it's really easy to discuss the content without making personal attacks on people. I'm a little surprised that I have to point this out yet again. If this is somehow...

Yeah. One would hope their new online content has more meat than the interview.

Best question. And with a follow-up: "If not, why not?" Other good questions: "What has been your favorite part?" "What has been your least favorite part?" "What has been the most memorable thing that has happened?" "What could you have totally done without?"

I throw my hat in the ring for Savage Worlds. Our group switched from d20 to SW a few years ago, and haven't looked back since. Its rules-lean (not light; its a very complete rules set), very fast, very fun. Its a multi-genre game that handles most genres well, although it leans to be a tad...

Thanks for all the feedback. Very useful.

Heh. Good point. Although, I really like what Hindrances and background Edges (specifically background ones, as opposed to edges in general) bring to the table in a game. I think we've gotten more RP-mileage out of Hindrances than any other single facet of the game. But then, I'll probably...

Okay, reviews read (even the brilliant ones). Sounds like its worth dropping the $30 to get and read through. Are the PH and MT the only books needed? For those that play SW, would adding in Hindrances and background Edges be plausible? It sounds like it.

I'm not sure where your apparent need to kiss up to Wizards comes from, and frankly, I don't care. Don't mistake mindless for emotional. Even though its been years since I regularly read Dragon magazine, its cancellation has put me in a strange funk. For the past 27+ years, it has been part of...

I'd say it also speaks volume about their strength of character. Or lack thereof.

They're not. Other than warning people about the code of conduct. :lol:

I wonder where that "figure" came from (about 30+). Perhaps the same kind of self-slanted poll as Wizards' online poll that showed them that people wanted more online content? I know that as I've gotten older, I spend more money, but I spend it less blindly. I won't buy any ole crap that a...

I've heard a smattering of good things about it, but not a lot of detail. Does it really seamlessly (and easily) integrate various versions of D&D? If you like it or hate it, tell about what it is and isn't. I dropped D20 a few years ago for Savage Worlds, and love the SW system. I'm spoiled by...

Bingo.
