I'm wondering what games people know have been hacked and where to find the info? I know of the following: Various Dragon Age hacked stuff at Dragon Age Oracle Official sanctioned Cortex Plus Hacker's Guide

Page 117-118 talks about customizing, including descriptors and foci.

I like using intrusions in combat when a player is obviously having better luck than others, such as constantly rolling high so they do lots of damage. I intrude then to either give more hit points back to the monster or something along that line so that it gives the other players a chance to...

I can understand where you're coming from evilbob and I think you are correct. One thing I'm noticing with the Cypher system, Numenera's core engine, is that Monte and company definitely are starting to think more about how the engine works. The Strange is adding in some new aspects that I...

We have the advantage of hindsight to make that claim though. The problem now is that unlike the past where most of us grew up with predominantly D&D, or some variant of it, that can't be said for players going forward. Pathfinder is definitely becoming the more dominant and that could change...

I think a better approach would be to limit the core material, which is where everyone tends to break down as they continue to push new core products out and it becomes overwhelming to new players. Companies really need to make either just a core book or at most three core books and leave it at...

I am interested in seeing what genre this ends up being. It has a very Twilight Zone, Cthulhu, and X-Files feel to the picture, maybe even Dark Matter. I just hope that it doesn't stretch them to thin since Numenera is still hot off the press. While will use the same engine I also hope that...

My thought is it is designed for the up and coming to the game design world. Someone comes up with a really good idea for the game that they think may make them some money so they pay the fee and self publish. It helps them get their name out there and doesn't require them to have a huge...

Check out Renaissance-Deluxe which is a stripped down version of Clockwork & Chivalry 2nd Ed which is designed for those not wanting to play a steampunk game, though it does have rules for magic if desired. If anything it will give you a good mechanic system and some general historical info you...

I have to disagree with the view that Numenera are in effect dailies. They are purely one shot abilities that could become available again or may never happen. It will depend on how your GM runs it. If player X uses a Numenera to defeat the callerail and the party is able to recover another...

I don't think it will turn into frustration if only because it is such an easy game to change. You have that core mechanic that is even more streamlined than True20 in that you are not constantly trying to figure out what all needs to be added in. At most you make two or three adjustments to...

It is the new one and was done by Margaret Weis using the first generation Cortex system. If memory serves correctly B5 and Farscape are d20 compatible, maybe Starship Troopers though it's been awhile so not sure. The rest are other systems.

Thieves World have been done twice, once by TSR and last time by Green Ronin. Diablo I & II by TSR/WotC Babylon 5, Farscape, Battlestar Galactica, Starship Troopers, Mouseguard... It almost would be better to ask about a book or show and have someone tell you if it has been done.

I am bumping this as it is the last day to vote in the poll and want to make sure everyone gets a chance at voting.

Thanks, will definitely take a look at them.

Numenera is nothing like 4e, not even close. It reminds me a lot of Alternity with the step method. The only difference being instead of changing your dice pool you change the target number. People are also accustom to rating things on a 1-10 scale which helps a lot. So what really happens is...

It's freeformed enough on the GM side that you could actually play without one per say; each player taking turns in the GM seat, making the game a truly collaborative story.

Numenera and 13th Age for me, leaning more toward Numenera, but time will tell.

I knew about the first generator, but not the second which is definitely nice. Just wish you could export and add more to the equipment.

Mine arrived mid week and finally got down home yesterday and picked it up. I've read the PDF already and now just rereading different sections.
