*cough* Jester. ;) But yeah - it was a fun game.

*confused look* Which ones are missing (and why didn't you tell *me*?!) Shemmie's Collection of Work on PW Keep in mind - I don't believe he's actually put all of the Baern stories up on Planewalker.

If I could figure out how to do that sort of commentary in a fanatasy setting - I would - I *so* would.

Aye - I adore that myself. If you read enough of the books you can pick up on the backstory of the world as well. And plot hooks. Any writer that can make a book that consists entirely of a *mere list of equipment* into an interesting read - wins a prize for me.

I'll take that as a compliement, and will expect you at my table for part 2 if you can make it. ;) To be honest re: the system - yes - i was glossing it a little, mostly around the magic system. I gloss even *heavier* around decking but I'm a programmer in RL, so I can do that without loosing...

Did you consider that maybe his editor told him to do it that way? The man signing the paycheck is always the one with the final word. I think James has made his opinion on the matter clear so I see no reason to blame him for it - you may want to send your analysis to the editor of the work.

Cold environs and temptation huh? Well that's just *begging* for a trip to a frozen waste (Plane of Ice?) and another party trip to a succubus/eriynes brothel... ;) Also, so long as we're splitting the party with the trap - make sure the halves get split with it so the mcguffin can't be used...

BESM (Big Eyes Small Mouth) has genre diversity (designed to support all flavors of anime - so, pretty much everything. ;) ) and one of the simplest rulesets I've seen. You can make it more complex if you want to as the game continues with some of the other releases for it. Risus also got a...

Erik, James, does this mean you're out from under your NDA and able to grant interviews now?

Good lcuk!! Tell us how things go :) You'll do perfectly fine, all you need is a big smile and the ability to convince they they're having fun. ;)

I think the idea they're thinking is that fighter is a good way to start, then then quickly branch out from there once the basics of attack, damage, and skill rolls are done. A decent training wheels character so to speak.

*lol*

I'm an oddball then - I thought gold, but that's b/c the golds are the closest to the Eastern style dragon that I think of first.

If I had to pick a class - fighter. But I would definately suggest after they got their feet wet in a game or two, giving them the opportuinity to switch out of their 'training wheels'. An alternate way of introducing them to the mechanics may be to actually simply run a one shot one on one with...

Depends on the game you're playing. Some of them come with guns built in (Shadowrun, d20 modern etc). What sort of world are you looking to play in and what sort of rules are you planning to use? (Yes, rule sets and worlds *are* mix and match and can be altered as you see fit, being as how...

Does anyone know if there's a D&D equilivant to Shadowrun's 'First Run' module out there? The First Run module assumed that both players and DM were entirely new to the setting, system, and gaming in general - and made an effort to cover all the small stuff that seems so simple to experienced...

DM = Dungeon Master, GM = Game Master - same role, different terms. You may also see ST (Storyteller) tossed around. It all depends on what game the player first started playing, since the person running a game is called by a different title by different publishers. There's absolutely no reason...

Like me! *waves hi* :) I DM Shadowrun, sometimes Alternity. *takes a curtsey*

I've got a lot of playing under my belt, but not as much GMing and it *is* a whole different ballgame in some respects since you're approaching the story from the other side of things. A few things I would mention myself: 1) We're here - use us! (Abuse us! Love us!) - since you don't have...

Bingo. My thoughts exactly.
