    A Question for the 25 and under crowd - What have you read?

    I'm just under your cut off point. From your list all I have read is a little bit of Vance (Dying Earth. Never got around to finishing it though) and odds & ends from Howard (basically just Conan stuff).

    QFT. Black Isle are the real heroes behind the awesomeness that was the original Fallout 1 & 2, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale and Planescape: Torment.

    Tell Me About Your Aventure

    The player's just got to a system where the government controls all the necessary equipment to fuel and do routine maintenance on their spaceship which they need to use. So they just hired on as royal mercenary guards for 1 month service to work on local shipping lines and help stave off some of...

    How much do characters know about game mechanics?

    None. The player does though and they dictate what the character does/feels. So a player would say, "I line up my laser scope on the target, right between the eyes of the target and squeeze the trigger." As the GM I'd say back to the player, "Awesome. Roll a Gun skill check! You get such and...

    Were you RPGing before you even knew it?

    Yup. We called it simply, "Quest". Diceless RPGing. We would play on the bus, at lunch, after school. It was grand. All genres too... whatever was the most recent meme in our young, social consciousness (aka: Jurassic Park, James Bond, Red Wall novels, Last of the Mahicans, Super Mario Bros...

    The Luke Skywalker Paradox

    Nothing a Hyperbolic Time Chamber can't fix. ;) Joking aside, why not just end it? End the war story and start a new one in the immediate aftermath of the event(s). Let the people attached to their characters keep them and the others who would like new ones make new ones.

    Albany Gameday XI - April 18th

    Had a great time. Looking forward to the next one already. I had doubts about my Traveller game because both times I playtested it prior to Gameday, it seemed to fall kind of flat. But it ended up being a blast to run and the guys were great! Although I must say for next Gameday I definitely...

    Hex by hex sandboxing

    Going along with this, you know what I'd love? Some sword & sorcery, medieval fantasy -esque Travelller planetary system creation tools that could go along with this hex by hex 'world' building.

    Representing flying on the battle mat?

    Although it would require a dedicated gaming room/area with allowable surface alterations I had an idea. They sell magnetic paint don't they? Grab some of that and paint the ceiling area over the gaming table with it. Then buy some small sized magnets, attach fishing line to the magnets that...

    Professional GM: Possible Return

    Here's an open ended question and mind you, I got about three quarters through page one so if it has already been asked and discussed, please just let me know and I'll go back and read it. What happens if the paying customer doesn't like a particular rules call or outcome that you as GM make...

    Xbox 360 - I have one. What should I play?

    How about those Pinata games? I was playing one of them at my buddies place and I was hooked. Just throwing it out there. I love those kind of games (big Harvest Moon fan). I could sit for hours farming virtual turnips! :lol:

    Stop smoking, the D&D way!

    I like how the add on the side of the page when I checked this out was a Quit Smoking ad. Mmmm... I love when big brother is watching me! It makes me feel loved.

    Party Treasure Sheets?

    Well, I run a Traveller game which tends to have a lot of shared gear located on a spacecraft all the characters are part of. So an equipment list is pretty key to knowing where gear is that gets passed around a lot. Currently I'm using this one...

    Albany Gameday XI - April 18th

    Two things... Thing One: My friend Anthony would like to be signed up for the morning 4E D&D game. He'd had to leave during the afternoon slot, so he's just signing up for a morning. Thing Two: Just a heads up for people in my Traveller game, the game system uses 2d6, so other than a pair of...
