    Who's got their print copy?

    Didn't see any discussion up yet or overlooked it. Anyway got my print copy today and love the look of it for the most part. My only qualm about it, and it's a personal peeve, is there is a lot of white space in this book. By that I mean blank areas that could have been put to better use...

    Top Ten D&D Settings of ALL TIME!

    I was surprised by the results, but can see why Planescape took 1st. It effectively could be tied to almost any campaign outside of Darksun, but even then the DM could change that.

    make a lucky shot clarification

    Good question and I interpret it as meaning the xp expenditure effectively does one of two things as you point out, either it gives you a 1 step favor that allows you to attempt to hit the target or you hit and deal your damage as normal. I would think it does the later though since you would...

    Rewriting the d20 Modern Basic Classes

    Well the thought is that professions should be more fleshed out than they were. Given you are probably reading Numenera and have read True20, have you thought about a three class approach similar to them instead of five? Then subdivide from there for specialty subclasses.

    Rewriting the d20 Modern Basic Classes

    I always thought Modern should have used more of a class/profession approach like d20 Chtulhu used, players choosing to be either offensive or defensive or alternating between the two until they prestige their characters in to an advanced class.

    Got your Numenera yet?

    In reference to the map, if you downloaded early in the day it was missing. If you go back to Drivethru and check updates it will be listed. I am really starting to like the game. It takes some getting use to that is for sure when reading through how damage works. I think with it being such...

    How Star Wars and other sci-fi will impact my game and wondering how others plan to run their game.

    Danny that is a great idea about the Klingon language developing into an actual dialect. I was planning to break away from the actual story line and just make Jedi a form of religion for the most part with a sect of Nanos believing in the force when it was actually tech that was involved. And...

    Got your Numenera yet?

    True, and she has confirmed that is is a flaw in the PDF only and not in the actual book, which is good.

    Got your Numenera yet?

    Thoughts on Players roll everything? At least as far as attacks and defense rolls? Also found first major error in the book. Page 18 it just ends with "If you have" and then you go into the next chapter. Stuff like this is why I prefer the PDF be released before the print version goes to the...

    Got your Numenera yet?

    Mine was sent at 2:22 in the morning. I didn't kickstart, well did but then had to get refund as something came up and needed the money the day after I committed, but preordered about a week or so after it was made available for preorder. Love the look of it though and can't wait to hold the...

    How will the Doom Kickstarter fraud scandal affect future Kickstarters?

    I agree. Kickstarter is becoming more a preorder system than a project support fundraiser as mentioned. Another trend that is irritating me is with the stretch goals. Instead of having rewards listed out that everyone can purchase in order to reach the primary goal and then have rewards for...

    How Star Wars and other sci-fi will impact my game and wondering how others plan to run their game.

    I'm looking forward to running Numenera when it finally releases. An interesting idea came to me the other day when thinking about how it is set a billion years in our future. What if the Star Wars concept of Jedi evolves into more than the religion which has sprung up recently and becomes a...

    An Open Letter to Fantasy Flight and Cubicle 7 -- Cut the "Foreplay" and Give Us the Good Stuff

    The license to Star Wars transferred long before the Disney buyout occurred. If anything FFG needs to stay on the ball before Disney pulls the license. Another reason not putting at least a small portion of Jedi stuff could be bad news. It wouldn't be the first time a license got pulled on a...

    An Open Letter to Fantasy Flight and Cubicle 7 -- Cut the "Foreplay" and Give Us the Good Stuff

    I disagree with the argument that there are still Jedi, only they are force sensitive, just like Luke was at the start of IV. There was a least one full blown Jedi in that episode! If they were worried players would munchkin or whatever then just put in a limited ability list that conforms to...

    An Open Letter to Fantasy Flight and Cubicle 7 -- Cut the "Foreplay" and Give Us the Good Stuff

    I'm beginning to think that the real issue of this debate is we are diverse in our appreciation of not just Star Wars, but what constitutes a RPG for it. FFG and C7 have chosen to take an approach to the venue that unfortunately doesn't appeal to some of us, mainly I think because not only do...

    An Open Letter to Fantasy Flight and Cubicle 7 -- Cut the "Foreplay" and Give Us the Good Stuff

    Unfortunately I don't have the book or PDF so can't quote the section on the d10s, but as I recall it stated you needed several and that more often you would use it for d100 rolls, but it implies needing more than two d10s.

    An Open Letter to Fantasy Flight and Cubicle 7 -- Cut the "Foreplay" and Give Us the Good Stuff

    My only problem with C7 is that they said they were going to release three core books focused around the different time periods of the setting. I was hoping that meant they were going to come out fairly close then pile on the expansion stuff. Instead they are taking their sweet time cake...

    Gammaslayers

    Discovered today that the folks behind Dungeonslayers have been working on a new game called Gammaslayers. Since Dungeonslayers is a German or Dutch game originally and translated into English it was easy for me to miss any mention of Gammaslayers. Anyone have any knowledge if this will also...

    Dragon Kings: A Spiritual Succesor to Dark Sun?

    I would imagine the system will be similar in feel and tone but not history. Probably leaving enough holes that you could easily move Dark Sun stuff over and it would fit.
