Well, if it turns out as a false alarm can always come back to my game in the AM. And along the same topic, is there's enough interest for another game in the PM I'd be willing to run a second game too... either more 3:16 or some Barbarians of Lemuria.

Michael Jackson died.

Is there anymore news on 4th games for the morning and afternoon? I have a couple more friends on the fence and I let it slip that there COULD BE other games if someone decided to run so they got all indecisive until they know for sure.

See my perspective for 'good' fantasy art I guess isn't the norm. For my favorite piece of Magic art is Fay Jones' for that lovely old card Stasis. Now, there's plenty of history to that card, but for me when I first saw that art I fell in love with it and it made want to make a deck from it...

Do you use some sort of dry or wet erase piece with the minis? If so, you could alphanumerically number the grid. Then when you need to move you could ask one of the players to place "the ogre at G9, could you move him to H15 for me? Thanks." like a Chess or Battleship board. For drawing on the...

Ick. There are about 3 art pieces (all landscapes) that I felt drawn to. Otherwise it was completely not my style. And I especially can't stand Wayne Reynold's and his over-done T posed people. In the design notes it says 'gear should be practical, utilitarian and rough looking' (maybe not...

Oh and something from me too. My Cronie-Named-Ryan wants in on the afternoon board games, please. And another friend of mine, Marwin, would like to play Dungeons & Zombies in the AM. Edit: Thanks for the update AO. I'm more looking for something like Junta! or Twilight Imperium in terms of...

Furthermore for my game: I don't have a blurb, or maybe this is my blurb/info about the game I am running, because 3:16 is a super-low prep game, and I intent to have a completely random scenario (including char-gen) at the start of the game. Furthermore just for those people who have game-type...

So, I really don't get where this idea is coming from or where this arugement is going. Every other RPG I've played or read is like pure homogeneous in terms of game-play mechanics compared to D&D, yet they are all well received and to my knowledge, successful with active fan-bases. Is it just...

Wait. I have some questions. Is this so called homogeneity considered good or bad? Or both/neither depending on who you ask? Furthermore how does the same-ness of character mechanics diminish one's ability to mold their character in-play?

3:16. Everyone rolls a d10 against your NFA (or AA in the case of the GM) stat. Then you compare: PCs all successful; aliens fail: ambush by the PCs. Highest success is a PC: that player sets initial rage... and so forth. There's 5 possible outcomes so it's not really a big list.

The aspect of being able to start right away with little to no prep is important. That said, I think the need for simple character creations is the most important part of that whole. A lot of games I've played that posit long, multiple sessions 'campaigns' also require a lot of upfront...

Just about 4 weeks away. Any more updates? I'll run a game of 3:16 Carnage Among the Stars with up to 6 seats available for players.

I dunno what a Stormwind is, but this thread is funny. I got some good lols from it. But I have a question, is this fallacy or whatever it's called just apply to D&D?

@ francisca, and Asmor I can't think of anything recent and official within Hasbro, but the only thing D&D related with Magic is back in the day when Magic was still young, a lot of the spells and creatures were basically Richard Garfield and friend's D&D characters (especially from the...

I imagine a day when our character sheets are plastic chips and when the DM requires some type of resolution check that historically would have been accomplished by physically rolling dice, is instead accomplished by sliding your character chip into a central 'box', the DM sliding a chip on...

I was gonna say I take a minimalist approach too, but compared to first brainstorm, then CorditeJimmy it would be more appropriate to call my approach almost non-existent. At most I am willing to 'haul' around is a single rule book and dice. I often do not prep for games as they often are spur...

I was introduced via a diceless game my friends an I created simply known between us as "Quest" during lunch at school/on the bus to and from school/at home/wherever we could. We did that like around grades 5 thru 8 then stopped. After that it was freshman year of college when another friend...

I didn't vote because each label has some part of truth in my gaming habits and none seemed the correct answer.

And what's up with these fancy-pants colored artifacts?! Man why couldn't we of just ended it with Ice Age and called that a game? :cool:
