    Giant-Robot RPGs

    Mekton Zeta Plus (the Mekton Zeta mecha creation sourcebook) has the most customizable rules for mecha creation I have ever seen. Anything from a Death Star to an iPod could be created with those rules. They have rules for onboard AIs as well as for transforming into other things, including...

    Save the Goblin, Kill your Friend?

    In this case, I think the problem is more with the execution of your character's hidden agenda than the fact that he had one in the first place. He was told to "take out Anea if it was convenient." I can think of a dozen different ways to acheive this without the other PCs realizing it was you...

    How impolite is it to change a PC with a cursed item?

    Here's a little story. A few years back, I joined a small Cyberpunk game. The character I made was a netrunner (a hacker). She was eighteen years old, a senior in high school whose parents were corporate wage-slaves. She ran the 'net because her life was totally safe and boring. This...

    Photoshopped D&D Monsters!

    That was disappointing. I was totally expecting something more along the lines of this:

    How to talk like a dwarf.

    My first impression of dwarves being Scottish came from Warhammer. The ever-present troll slayer in that game is usually depicted with bright orange hair, a crazy beard, stripey Celtic pants, and similarly-Celtic tattoos on his face, chest, and arms. While I realize that Celtic does not...

    Dungeon-light campaign-length adventures

    I'm pretty sure he'll want to run something beginning at a low level; that's just his style. War of the Burning Sky, eh? I'll have to forward him the link and see what he thinks. I'm hoping to play in whatever he runs, so I'm trying to keep myself blissfully ignorant of any plotlines. Thanks!

    Dungeon-light campaign-length adventures

    A friend of mine is looking to run a D&D campaign in the near future, and he wants to use published adventures. However, he has found that most such adventures are centered around dungeons. In order to help him out, I'm trying to compile a list of modules which are not dungeon-centric. A...

    Interstitial Magic

    In Mage: the Ascension, they have a sphere of magic that's very similar to what you're describing called Correspondence. Rolls off the tongue a bit easier than interstices or transtitial.

    What we're all waiting for...full frontal nudity!!

    Other than the occassional "bathing in the river/lagoon/waterfall" scene, it's never really come up in any of my games. And it's been a long time since I've had one of those gratuitious bathing scenes, mainly because I'm older and see how silly they are, but also because most of the female PCs...

    Am I being too evil?

    How could you be too evil? Your alignment is evil. Period. Unlike games such as Vampire, there is no sliding scale of alignment in D&D except between alignments. You can worry about not being evil enough, and thereby slip into neutrality or even *gasp* good, but too evil? You're already...

    Why is there no dwarf-hate?

    I love the PHB PSAs! My friend and I are constructing a fansite for them!

    Why is there no dwarf-hate?

    I honestly haven't seen enough dwarves played to develop an opinion about them. In the many gaming groups I've played in, nobody ever seems to want to play a dwarf. I've seen more gnomes played than I have dwarves, and that's including the dwarves that I've played. I think it might be because...

    Your Ultimate Homebrew

    A notable enough difference from other published worlds to make it worth my while. If I can acheive desired results by tweaking a few things here and there in someone else's world, I will. If that's too vague, then how's this? A total absence of comic relief races. No kender, no gungans...

    What other games do you play?

    I've played almost nothing but D&D since 3rd edition came out, but that's ended with my last campaign. Like someone who has recently gotten out of a suffocating, long-term relationship, I plan on playing the field for a while, trying out new systems and dusting off old favorites. That being...

    Okay, D&D 3.5 grognards . . . are you *glad* your game is out of print?

    I'm definitely one of those people who subjects himself to the "treadmill" of buying new gamebooks when they come out. Not because I feel like I have to, or because my players want to use material in books that I don't own (usually), but because I want to. There's just something exciting about...

    Going from Lawful Good to True Neutral for abandoning a friend?

    Consistent long-term behavior is what changes alignments, not a single moment of weakness or a bad decision. We all make mistakes.

    Heroic Cthulhu rules are up

    I can see it now...people going insane after looking at his rear-end. Or conversely, having an Elder Sign there: "stand back, everyone--my rump will repel the evil!" :lol:

    What are you currently using?

    Just started running an FR game set in the Silver Marches. Not playing D&D currently.

    Any female game masters?

    My best friend is a female GM. She ran a Changeling campaign which lasted years in real time, and she's run a couple of one-shots here and there as well.
