    WFRP - THIRD Edition Announced from FFG

    The game looks interesting. I actually like that it is a new game rather than a few tweaks to an existing system. I like WFRP 2E and have everything I need to play it from now until I die if I want to. This game looks to be focused on bringing in new players. I think the dice pool mechanic...

    WFRP3 in playtest..are they going the way of the MMO?

    The WFRP rules specifically mention you can choose your starting career if the GM allows it. If your GM forces you to roll on the career chart and you don't like it, your beef should be with the GM not the game. Dwarven Troll Slayer is in fact a starting career. Wizards start out as...

    Impossible To Run A GameForked Thread: I Owe Wizards an Apology

    As a player, have you ever left a game because the GM wasn't being 'true' to the line? No, but most games I've ever played in have been homebrews. I'm also pretty easy to please when it comes to canon. As a player, how much do you think your character knows about the setting? Quite a bit...

    I Owe Wizards an Apology

    Certainly you can just change things/ignore canon as a GM, but once you start doing that what's the point in running a game in an established setting? The players that really know the setting will be annoyed, and those who don't know the setting probably don't care. I just find it easier to...

    I Owe Wizards an Apology

    I gave up GMing settings with a lot of novels that I haven't read. I always ended up with at least a couple of players that have read everything ever written about the world and make it impossible to run a game. It always ended up going like this. Me:"The minotaur pirate swings his axe at...

    Trek Spoiler Spectacular! (Forked Thread: The new Star Trek movie is...)

    They should have both versions of Klingons as explained in Enterprise. Evidently they have head ridges on their helmets at least, oh and they wear trench coats.

    Trek Spoiler Spectacular! (Forked Thread: The new Star Trek movie is...)

    Nero just set up a holographic projector to let Spock watch the implosion. ;) The other thing that bothers me is the 10,000 Vulcans thing. I would consider 50,000 Vulcans being off planet a low number. Just Vulcan embassies, Starfleet members, Vulcan spacecraft, and the odd Vulcan living on...

    Here's a link to a pic with scruffy looking Scotty at his desk. IGN: Star Trek Publicity Stills 2819795 I'll see if I can find more. Edit Here is a close-up of Scotty in his non-regualtion outfit. Star Trek Wallpaper Pictures: Official Movie Site

    Shaky Cam - Your Thoughts? (Forked Thread: The new Star Trek movie is...)

    I voted it can sometimes ruin a movie for me, but it has to be very excessive to do so. I would probably have hated The Blair Witch Project and Cloverfield on the big screen. In other movies it annoys me when it is used to cover the lack of decent fight choreography. Recently, I often don't...

    Maybe it needed to be exposed to a major power source for the reaction needed to create a singularity. Something like the molten core of a planet, a star, or the explosion of a warp capable spacecraft.

    Trek Spoiler Spectacular! (Forked Thread: The new Star Trek movie is...)

    If I remember correctly in the o/canon it was explained that the Enterprise became the Starfleet flagship after being the only Constitution class vessel to complete its 5 year mission. Starfleet also made the Enterprise arrowhead with star symbol the official insignia of the entire organization...

    Pathfinder 1E [April fools joke] Boo WotC! Wizards to sue Paizo for TM Infringement!

    I don't think there ever was such a press release. I think this joke originated with the OP here.

    Needs more Cowbell?

    Wow, that's harsher than a normal ban. Remathilis won't be able to use the computer at all. If he's posting from work that'll really cut down on productivity.

    That's right because the interwebs work purrfectly the other 364 days a year thanks to Pirratecat.

    Amazon delays again (aka "No PHB2 for Russ")

    I've always had bad luck preordering gaming books through Amazon. It usually seems to take them several weeks after release to get small publishers' gaming products. With WotC products, I suspect they just accept more preorders then they can fill in at the time of release. I only preorder...
