I found it a little disappointing. Obviously, I was never expecting a modern classic, but I was hoping for something with the same infectious fun and goofiness of the first film. This one takes itself a little too seriously, and has an ending a little too pat, for my tastes. It's a bit like in...

I loved the basic "extreme sports" concept behind X-Crawl. But I got very little use out of the book. I wasn't fussed on the setting, which I thought completely missed the boat, and never used any of the mechanics at all. This didn't stop us playing quite a bit of "X-Path" (X-Crawl meets the...

Trollbabe: Don't nesitate to seek help on the IH boards if you run into rules queries. I'd throw my hat in the ring for a character, but I'm going on a 4 week vacation in just over a month and won't have the net access to post regularly.

re: Baron Munchausen BM's been a running event for Arcanacon (one of the major Australian RPG conventions) ever since the game came out. But then, Australians do like to spin a yarn. It's definitely playable in and of itself. I still remember the time the question was "Lord X, pray tell us...

PirateCat is wise. Never force the PCs into being captured. Have the town guards find the dagger and come to the PCs to bring them in for questioning. Have the guards be courteous about it: they know the PCs rep and don't want a fight if they can avoid it. They also know that it's quite...

Providence, I suspect.

Oh gawd. Of those mentioned I have, used to have, or have played ... Ravenstar Macho Women With Guns Extreme Vengeance (and the supplement, Die and Die Again) Pandemonium Noir Bunnies and Burrows - only have the GURPS version Powers and Perils (and some expansions) Bushido ALBEDO - used to...

The Flip-mats are very good. I have two, and get considerable use from them.

Fiery Dragon should have print editions of Iron Heroes Revised and the Iron Heroes Player's Companion at Gencon.

I like hong's answer. I just statted one of these lads for a new campaign, and they're mucho fun, with decent skills selection (and having a high-Int actually works for them in more ways than just skill points).

I own the DVD. It's a very silly movie. Great fun.

Bumping again so more people see this game.

Honestly, if this is the case, they're doomed in AoW. It's not a forgiving set of modules at all. Paizo's adventure path modules tend to assume a well-balanced party of above-average characters with above-average cohesion and tactical ability (it's one of the reasons I don't like their stuff...

I'm pretty sure most of Uwe Boll's movies are caused by the mythos. It's really the only explanation for them :) More seriously, I recall a film named 'From Beyond' that purported to be mythos inspired, but didn't really feel that way to me when I watched it.

Huzzah for Yttrai and MantisKing! It'll be good to catch up.

While Im personally really happy with the way the spiritualist class hangs together (both mechanically and in terms of Sword & Sorcery flavor), I can certainly understand your perspective. The martial focus of IH is one of my favorite things about it (the rejection of magic item dependency is...

I've mentioned this game at the IH boards. Hopefully that will trigger some interest.

A print edition is now definitely on the cards. Edit to add: One thing I didn't make clear in the original Magic post, and probably should have, is that spiritualists do not start with knowledge of all 18 rituals. They have a much more limited selection to begin with, which slowly grows over...

It's a Kind of Magic The final new class in the Iron Heroes Player's Companion is the Spiritualist. Unlike arcanists, who personally shape magical energy into spells, Spiritualists petition otherworldly powers (demons, angels, ancestral spirits – the exact nature of these powers varies from...

We have only two players and no activity on the thread for 2 weeks ... is the game still going to go ahead?
