The main issue I had with the BoEF was that, simply put, it just wasn't sexy. A combination of poor art and photography, the rather flat and clinical approach and an overabundance of crunch, all previously sited, contributed to a product that could have been considerably better. I think that...

OK, there was this one time... Champions campaign, the first adventure - 6 armed gunmen with superhuman strength and speed interrupt a scientist's presentation on his invention of a honest-to-goodness time machine. The heroes, a 6 man team of all the classic icons, Superstrong Flying Alien...

I haven't played many characters as a player, GMing for the vast majority of my time in the hobby (30 years and still going strong), yet there are two that stand out as special to me in a personal way... Redgod Thickstone (1st Edition - Dwarven Fighter/Cleric) The only D&D character I've ever...

There are always possibilities... If there is any one subject I have gamed more then any other, it is Star Trek. I've run a least one game using every edition and version of the subject put to rules and I have learned a great many things. Please keep in mind this subject is near and dear to me...

Wild as this statement may seem at first glance I am prone to agree. Dragon rehashed the same things over and over while Dungeon...don't get me started. Never liked Dungeon. I make my own adventures and so that mag contributed very little of value. When Ares was attached to it I was willing to...

Well anyone who knows me knows that very little brightens my outlook like a good game. More so then any other hobby or industry, RPGs combines all my likes together; Art, writing, acting and storytelling, science and history all combine in one way or another to create an exciting gaming...

My players and I love PC/NPC interaction and yes, I do voices. Actually, I will go so far as to try and study accents or practice a given voice for a while before I put it into play. Combined with mannerisms, I am able to start the game in a certain NPC's voice and have the players know who is...

I prefer classless systems. Either a point based system where you build from scratch or one where you simply choose options and skills and the like until you have the character you want. Some systems use template or packages and I'm actually cool with that as it speeds things along. Funny...

Seems there is some confusion over whether we're talking about how long some of us having been GMing or how long we have GMed in a single setting. For me, that would be 30 years and 24 hours respectively. :p AD

Its difficult to pick one moment or event since I've been very lucky to have a great many such tales to tell. That having been said, some truly meaning scenes have included... D&D - My players realizing the goal of their long time, ruthless arch-enemy was to restore to life his people, a...

QFT Been playing 30 years or so and I don't think I've ever said or used the term Gish. So..this is some kind of slang abbreviation for a Githyanki of a certain class or something? We used to call Githyanki "Gith" or "Giths", what with there not being a 's' in the name and such. :confused: AD

I am extremely interested but its primarily for the fact that new material for the original system will be produced. I have played and continue to play campaigns of Classic Traveller modified by a series of house rules. In Japan, Classic Traveller never really went out of favor amoung Japanese...

Used on the soundtracks from previous campaigns... A Question of Honor, Sarah Brightman Manic Star and Center of the Sun, Conjure One Got to thank my ex-wife for these finds. She has quite the ear for gaming music. :lol: AD

In the spirit of the holidays, post your ideas for adventures, NPCs or other gaming elements inspired by this most merry of times. I'm ho ho ho happy to start things rolling... Santa Claus, Earth-AD1 In my Superhero campaign universe, every single sentient being on Earth generates a sort of...

I've developed and run Sesame Street, Pokemon and Wizard of Oz RPGs but this...this is just sick. :p AD

Yes. :p I mean, I can be human any ol' time. AD

Aliens. Everything is better with aliens. They are, after all, far superior to primitive humans. Oh...and women. Definitely women. And Alien women. Yeah. :cool: AD

In any one of a dozen sketchpads, notebooks, file folders and computer files lie the ideas from and/or for any number of campaign and game ideas. From The Wizard of Oz and Fantasy Giant Robots to Traveller and Futurama, I never stop experimenting, designing and creating concepts for games that...

I actually began playing D&D because a friend described role playing as "playing out a comic book. You create a hero, fight evil and go on adventures". This more then anything else has remained the driving mentality behind every game I've every run since that first faithful day in the summer of...

First and foremost I feel I must represent as a native New Yorker, veteran GM and all-around major league house rules fan. Now granted, I'm not a big fan of rules heavy games in general and most of my house rules are designed to make things run smoother, faster and more cinematically. One could...
