Oh, buzz, not that it's tremendously important, but this thread always can use bumps.... sign me up for breakfast, if you would, good sir.

Thanks, my friend. I chimed in over there. :)

I've loved Alternity for quite a while, but never had a chance to run it--finally will in a few weeks at one of the tri-annual Chicago gamedays. The Alternity Dark*Matter book is gorgeous, and while the d20 one isn't too bad either, I'm still not sure I buy using d20 for a modern game. I like...

I think it generally does. School, work, and the quickly approaching holiday season, not to mention perhaps even college football might keep some people away.

buzz, you're a pro. A gentleman and a scholar. And a man whom I'm sure I've helped lose sanity points from my presence in his games. Ginny Weasley and Penn-Kelly the Waitress come to mind when speaking of such SAN loss.

MY event? Full? Man. I didn't think Alternity would sell well, but this is gonna be a blast. :D Players, there are a number of PDFs I've seen online (legally, too, I think, but juuust in case there's copyright issues, I won't post links here) of Fast-Play rules for Alternity. I encourage...

You know what, I'll count your vote for half since you're not actually playing, buzz. :p At this point I'm leaning slightly more towards doing this Alternity style then. Barring any vehement objections from the other players in my game, buzz, please change the TBA of game system to...

To the poor saps lucky players in my afternoon Dark*Matter game... Do you prefer d20 Modern, or do you want to be wild and crazy, and do this with Alternity rules? I'd totally be able to make up rules summaries for those unfamiliar with Alternity. I'm happy either way, I'd just like to know...

Sign me up for game 8, "Look ma, no hands!" in the morning, please. These characters look too good to pass up. I just hope I can live up to the exploits of any illustrious former players!

But how do you present them in the game? Do you describe each turn? Do you map it out?

Hey folks, I'll begin with a little anecdote, but the real question is bolded below. I was just thumbing through the old Book of Challenges today, looking for something to toss at the group tomorrow, and I saw an encounter involving a maze filled with displacer beasts. This immediately made...

I think that by far, the one that I had the most fun with was The Shattered Circle. It's a great little dungeon crawl, with a few opportunities for some roleplaying, and a good mix of challenges. I updated it to 3e and ran it at a Chicago gameday a few years back, and it wsa quite a bit of fun...

We'll nuke the place from orbit. It's the only way to be sure...

I would have been honored. And perhaps slightly horrified. But mostly impressed that you worked a german trance song, one of my favorite internet discoveries, into a post apocalyptic Wizard of Oz.

Ghostbusters? Was? Bring mir mein Techno! Ve have Ghosts to un-pimp. *hops in Microbus, guns engine*

I'm trying to do as much prep as possible in advance. Yet I say that every gameday. I just naturally shove things off until the last minute. But this time will be different! ...maybe.

buzz, here's at least some intial stuff for my game--i'm not 100% sure whether I'm going for d20 or Alternity system yet, but i'll make the decision soon. Raw Recruits Dark*Matter GM: Trevalon Moonleirion For up to 6 players "You have each had contact with the private organization known as...

buzz, The Dark*Matter event is for 6 players. I'll get you some details once I've figured out exactly what I'm running.

Hey. HEY. English major, there's too many big words in this post for my sleep-deprived college brain to deal with right now. :p

I'm open to doing either, though I'll ask players once we start doing the player signups. I'm probably picking up the d20 D*M book just since I have a gift card to barnes and noble. Kinda depends on if converting an adventure from Alternity -> d20 is easier than learning Alternity and having...
