Very interesting... I find it intriguing that so many people would bring so many games that are complex. Trapped on a desert island I would want simple games that enable me to generate stuff easily using only the one book. Anyone who brought D&D 3.x must have also brought the other dozen or so...

Blast from the Past Hey Storn, We haven't spoken for a while but I've been a fan ever since we met some, geez, 20 years ago...really? To drudge up some memories and put them in a time and place...Dragun Z, Ilan, Joe, Grey Bowman, The Forbidden Planet, Kendo in the Mud and The Compleat...

Gardner Fox?!? THE Gardner Fox? Great Caesar's Ghost! I have got to go back and check that out. That's just kooky. AD "Never Give Up, Never Surrender!"

Thanks for the support PS. This is also how I go about designing my species for SF campaigns. I begin with culture and thought process, figure out what kind of condition both environmental and biological might generate such thinking and then extrapolate an appearence based on those elements...

Forked from: Space RPGs? So we're always hearing about everyone's D&D/Fantasy RPG campaigns, adventures and ideas - Let's show some SF/Space Adventure love people! Tell us about your Science Fiction milieu, notable sessions, alien sentients and critters, robots, gear, etc. If you play...

A subject near and dear to me... As someone who runs SciFi campaigns often, I believe Thasmodious really started us off on the right path. Humanoid aliens will be out there if anything is because we are out there. Something (or several somethings to be precise) in our overall design and genetic...

From the Land of the Rising Sun... One of my favorite 'generic' RPGs hails from Japan and has the following 5 stats: Mental Physical Social Spiritual Etcetra While the first three are pretty obvious as to what they cover, Spiritual and Etc. may need some explaining. Spiritual is used for...

Me too. I guess that's why I don't play it much any more. Now where did I leave my Ars Magica and Faery's Tale Deluxe books... AD "Never Give Up, Never Surrender!"

Although it may seem contrary to my post in the thread, "Do you know you're a bad GM", I will happily admit to making mistakes all the time. At least once a session, though I have been known to go two or three with not but a couple of minor errors. I've also bundled things quite splendidly on a...

I'm the best there is at what I do... Whatever that is. ;) I know when I'm not doing my best, I know when I'm having off days and I know when I could be better most of the time. I will even go so far as to say I know why I fail when I fail. That said... I recently gamed with an unfamiliar...

There can be only one! The Compleat Strategist is the way! THE WAY! Do not question the way.:D A long time customer, former employee and fast friend of the owner I highly recommend this FLGS as the end all be all gaming spot in the Big Apple. www.compleatstrategist.com Might see your...

Geez...I thought of a least two dozen more that I didn't list on my first post. We used to game alot. -Sigh- AD

Easy... Options. And I'm not talking about 'a-dozen-third-party-books-that-will-eventually -come-out' options, I'm talking basic, my-character-shouldn't-be-exactly-the-same-as-every-other options. My biggest grip with the game is that while the wizard may have an at will magic spell, there is...

QFT Amon, brother. AD

Way too many... It used to be a thing for us to try new systems and games whenever they came out. In most cases where there are multiple editions of a game, I have very likely tried them all. Some I've played, most I've run. This is only a small portion of what I can remember. Favorites are...

We often played the much lamented Space Opera RPG from Fantasy Games Unlimited Space Opera (game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Don't ask me how we played it as figuring out the rules are akin to slamming ones head repeatedly against something of greater density with great rigor. At the...

I can totally see that as a viable and interesting setting but Traveller came out at a time when Star Wars was very much on the mind of most gaming aged customers. Plus, it said right on the cover, "Science Adventure in the Far Future". In 1977 the 'Far Future' didn't have bullets and slow FTL...

I remember the first time I ever played Traveller I hated it. I grew up on Sci-Fi, from Star Trek reruns and Legion of Superheroes comics to second hand novels by E.E. "Doc" Smith, Niven and a host of others. When a friend brought "a space version of D&D" to camp I was beside myself with...

My point exactly and Traveller especially. Why? Because in order to alter the perception that its dated it needs a look that really stands out and grabs people attention. It needs to generate the same interest and excitement it did in 1977 but appeal to a 2008-9 consumer who has watched and read...

One complaint/rant about Space RPGs... Artist rant coming online in 3...2...1.... Why is the art work in most Sci-Fi/Space RPGs so gawdawefully horrible?! I mean, a quick look through deviantart, concept art forums and even, dare I say it, elfwood! provides better illustrations of spaceships...
