Given a big enough Future society, you'd want to be careful when going to the field against your opponents. Say you could only pack one kind of shield. You guess, by thier progress level, they've entirely abandoned kinetic weapons, so you load up on energy deflection shields. And catch a mass...

In some ways, it has nothing to do with game mechanics, or even Lord of the Rings why elves act so superior. It has to do that thier race was mighty and powerful while humans and thier kin were eating berries, clubbing baby seals, and painting themselves blue. That long of a lifespan, with an...

The "Future Fun" thread has some deck plans. Other than that, there are tons of them on RPGNow and some at the ENWorld gaming store.

Heh, people suing over this is like suing the bar because right before you left, the barmaid winked at you so you stayed. Puh-lease. NOTHING IN LIFE IS FREE OR GARUNTEED, AND IF YOU BELIEVE OTHERWISE, YOU'RE A FOOL! Here's some advice: If you use an e-dating service, you'll have to put...

Definate bump right now. I'm in the middle of doing up a few things. Mostly tests on races and equipment. The Starship Construction Manual is giving me major headaches, just like YotZ. So.... Bump

That sums up my opinion. I respect KM's stance that he shouldn't have to buy it, and I encourage him not to if he doesn't want to. Personally, I don't care about the product one way or another, I just don't believe that every product has to be innovate. Sometimes utility takes precedence over...

You have every right to be. Just like we have the right to point it out. Avoiding an ulcer. Realizing that it doesn't work that way. By your logic, Microsoft owes me a refund on: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, Windows XP Home Edition. After all, I bought...

One thing that would amuse me is a Fortitude check to avoid puking when the character is coming down off the adrenaline rush. "Well, Bob, you didn't save. You vomit in front of the cameras and all over a cameraman." Happened to me. Every. Damn. Time.

Look at them and ask if they expect the world to come to them. Are they adventurer's or townsfolk. If they want to buy houses and settle down, that's cool, but make up thier minds, you don't have all night. Eh, maybe I'm lucky, my player's aren't ones for sitting around.

You know, the whole frikkin rant is just hilarious. All you have to do is look as his signature. Talk about irony.

So does Black and Decker, but if I need a hammer, I'll buy one from them. It wasn't intended on being imaginative or original, it's intended as a COMPENDIUM, feel free to look up the definition. I absolutely HATE looking through 20 odd books to find spells. This'll cut down on game play time...

It's called "Anaconda" and it's in this lovely vacation spot known as "Iraq" and they can even get PAID to go there. :D Anyway, some settings are grim and gritty and do well. Hey, even I like them. Honestly, I had enough of being Mr. Average, when I play d20 Modern, I want to be a hero, not...

I can agree with that. Thanks anyway, but I don't want a game that brings back memories of real life I'd prefer remained buried, and I'm sure the other veterans of the military and the police force that I game with would prefer that too.

I've seen this arguement go round and round, but let's move onto sci-fi. A magnetic accellerator weapon, using a chunk of ferrous coated (for launching) duranium alloy that weighs 8 ounces accellerated to .75 C. That hits someone in armor, the armor withstands the blow. He's still got a...

Or the Anvil of St. Cuthbert

In living creatures it represents skill, luck, experience, which is why living creatures increase in HP, and the anvil doesn't. See, humans start out with a handfull of HP, as does the anvil. After travelling across the country, the human reaches level 2 and gains HP. The anvil... is still and...

It's called recoil, which is why there are stocks, and why the blowback mechanism and recoil springs exist in rifle, as well as why the pistol grib is shaped in such a way and the blowback design is the way it is. Remember, older pistols (which delivered far less kinetic energy) would cause...

My advice to your players: KNOW WHEN TO RUN, FOOLS! Seriously, they do outdoor adventures, and nobody has any ranged weapons skills? Why don't they rub themselves in BBQ sauce for the goblins?

Having played Twilight 2000 and other sci-fi and modern games, I have something fairly simple to say: A "tight", "realistic" and "gritty" system is NOT mutually exclusive from FUN! I've played and ran games where it was realistic, gritty, and a lot of fun. And {GASP} I used d20 Modern to do...
