In some ways, it is Ars Magica comes to D&D - by way of Harry Potter.

It is a peculiar one. A second edition of the game they simply renamed slightly - as there were three other Doctor Who editions based on previous iterations of the Doctor (including the 50th Anniversary edition). They always seem a little retrospective too, as there will inevitably be a new...

Tiefling.

A much more appreciated response. I do think that there is some evidence of Pulp Cthulhu being a response to other ‘pulp' game titles - insofar that it was originally mooted by Chaosium as a supplement for the D20 version of the game, way back in about 2001/2. It was vaporware for many years...

I think when I said “I have nothing against the Pulp rules”, I was pretty clear, along with the point I have been using them to run a two year long Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign. You are being pretty defensive about it if you trying to pigeonhole me as someone who doesn’t like it - and by...

I think what payn is trying to get at is that about 95% of RPGs cater for heroic action already. It's the norm, not the exception. What made Call of Cthulhu traditionally stand out, in a paradigmatic sense, was that you were largely playing ordinary people fighting against overwhelming odds...

Are Renegade delivering internationally yet, or just the USA still?

Not sure how I feel about a Dungeons & Dragons movie being reported in the Daily Mail. Just feels....different.

He was also a villain in The Gentleman. Not sure how child friendly that was.

There are two Spidermans in that cover, but no Hulk.

Wouldn’t Vision have fitted better than Vigilance?

I think the comparison between DG and CoC is not just the obvious changes in premise, but also that DG has a ‘leaner’, or more concise set of rules, which puts more emphasis on relationships and their impact on mental trauma. CoC 7E adds more bells and whistles in play (like bonus/penalty dice...

Actually, Mark Rein-Hagen hadn’t read any Anne Rice novels when he wrote Vampire: The Masquerade - according to interviews. He read it afterwards apparently, and noted its broader influence, but his actual sources are more likely the various romantic vampire movies that were around in the 1980s...

If you want to personalize this, then fill your boots. The discussion as it stands doesn’t require much analysis, with equal frankness. Regardless of any loose connection with Romeo & Juliet - it really is loose - and regardless of how flippant the original description given of Underworld was...

It has absolutely every relevance with the point that you couldn’t recognize an accurate description of Underworld. Everybody can read it for themselves.

That wasn’t the issue. The issue was that there was a pretty solid description of Underworld given that you said you didn’t think sounded like Underworld - it did. There are differences between WoD and Underworld, as has been pointed out on this thread, but the influence of WoD on Underworld...

To be honest, what this reminds me of most is the various Roles that were part of D&D4E - the Defenders, Controllers, Strikers, Leaders, and so on. I really didn’t like them, because I think individuals that are interesting is enough justification to play them - regardless of having any Role in...

???!

What is your source?

White Wolf did take legal action against Underworld. From memory, I think it ended in an out of court settlement.
