Just watched the video in the unboxing thread and have to say I'm not too thrilled with the rarity aspect for the cards. Selling them in boosters was bad enough, but to actually assign rarity to each card is definitely a turn off. They could easily do at will, encounter, and daily division in...

Thanks for the link darjr. Unfortunately he doesn't cover the cards, which is okay since I really don't have a problem with them outside of the booster issue. I find it interesting that it appears the game will only go to level 10. However when I think about it I have never seen or heard of a...

Sword & Sorcery was devloped during the pulp era for the most part with the advent of Conan, Red Sonja, Kull, and others along that line from that time period. As Reynard points out pulp is the era referring to when most of the stories were released in cheap magazines made from wood pulp, thus...

I believe they form a seperate deck from the main deck provided. The boosters are then added to that deck. So the initial 50 card deck would support five players with 10 card decks.

You are correct, I forgot about that. However from the trend that Paizo is going with now I don't think they worked out or Paizo would be continuing that product line. In fact just a couple of months ago they had them on clearance trying to dump their back stock. I'm not sure that being fun...

But the difference is that Paizo and other RPGs have done specific sets or decks, never a random booster expansion. I'd have no problem if the extra cards were being offered as a complete optional deck with rules on how to break them down and add them into Gamma World. If done that way I don't...

From my experience yes, but I'm not sure how long your gaming career spans. Out of all the gamers I know only about a fourth play CCGs, though probably a little more have played at one time or another. I just know a large portion of my friends won't be interested because of that element though...

The more I see of this game the more I think WotC needs a reality check. I can forgive 4e for incorporating power cards since spell cards have been around since forever. However introducing booster packs is going a little too over the top in my opinion. It's one thing to play a CCG and...

I can't believe how quiet this Gencon has been as far as game news goes. Nothing seems to really be standing out as far as big news from the convention. Has anyone heard of any new games at least?

The inclusion of those products was meant as a referrence and both could be rewritten and presented better. Not everything presented in both books was completely useless so a rewrite to update them and make them more generic wouldn't be a bad thing. Given some of the answers I'm wondering if...

My reasoning for going with an independent campaign is that if you tie the product to an existing world, such as Conan, Elric, Black Company, and such, you’re placing the product into a niche right off the start because you’re limiting yourself to the people who know the world or might be...

I'll admit I could have used better examples than what I did. As for evil pursuits I would agree the best example would be along the lines of Midnight, only from evil's point of view and not the whole last remnant of good. The whole mature concept would be fantasy more in line with some of the...

My basis for rules free/light would be for the setting mainly. I think modeling it after Green Ronin's Freeport, where the setting book is rules free/light, and then do companion books to allow it to conform to other systems is the main key. It might even help circumvent license restrictions...

In the thread “What could a publisher sell you RIGHT NOW” I discussed with a few others about the marketing of evil/mature material. One thing I pointed out is that if a company was to step up and fill this niche, making products on a regular basis, it would need to make the products rules...

I’m playing Pathfinder and like most of the changes. I think where a lot of the misunderstanding with the class changes comes from is that Paizo was trying to bring the core classes up to par with later classes introduced into the game. If you compare the core classes to PHB II classes, or any...

As a former 4e supporter I can say that I won't be coming back and quite a few of the people in my area will be in that boat. We gave the system a try and it wasn't to our liking. Many have sold all their books off and while I still have the first two volumes of the core three, as well as...

Which is why they went OGL. Any publisher wishing to do something along these lines needs to OGL or at least make it rules free for specific systems. As for what systems besides d20/OGL you could Savage, WoD, BRP, just about anything really, but the key is to keep actual game mechanics out...

I'll agree with that. Only I think the approach should have been a more generic as to what I mention by designing the books for multiple systems. So if a small press publisher wants to deal specifically in evil/mature they can't focus just on Pathfinder.

I was in on one of the discussions over at Paizo and pointed out that what really needs to happen is for a small press company to just choose that as their focus. Everything they do needs to be evil aligned or at least be mature themed. Valar Project, Inc could have and was suppose to have done...

Alternity 2nd ed Star Frontiers 2nd ed Gamma World actually based on its own rules system and not ported over to the current D&D mechanics flavor. Rules lite sci-fi and post apoc rpgs. A true pocket edition of anything that will actually fit my pocket. A WoW quality virtual campaign setting...
