What's Alias? (I noticed I was the solitary little "1" beside that poll option) :)

I found myself really curious today of whats going on in the btech universe. I used to be an avid player and read a bunch of the novels to keep up with what was going on, but that was a while ago. I think last time I left off, the clans had been defeated and one of them joined the inner sphere...

I've always considered detect good/evil to be a bogus idea - a side effect of a system that simplifies killing of beasties by allowing you to, in effect, cast a spell that tells you whether they're fair game or not. A world where you actually have to investigate a potential enemy, find out what...

Wow its been a while.. all I remember about my gamma world days was that I was a rifle wielding fluffy white bunny that led a gang of other white fluffy bunnies. And there was a spaceship...

Maybe Oxmix will make a cameo. :)

I would say that nixing penetration might in fact be the solution. If you really wanted somethign realistic, you'd have to go back to a system of different protection modifiers based on weapon type (slashing, piercing, blunt) versus different armor types. Ditch penetration altogether. And then...

How exactly is it different? Theres a good question. :) If it doesn't cost XP, what is the balancing factor for creating them other than time and materials?

Yep thats the one!

That site is amazing!! I can't believe I never found it before. Thanks! :)

I've also played it. When a friend gave me the link, I thought it was a demo. As was said above, its absolutely gorgeous even though the alpha runs choppy (I believe it was optimized for ATI and I have a GeForce 4). The ironic part is, now that I've seen and played this hacked version, I'll...

http://www.games-workshop.com/community Unfortunately the forum software is pretty crap compared to enworld and some of the people are remarkably unfriendly. Whatever you do, don't mention d20!

I guess one thing that bothers me about G&G is the whole penetration system. Its like a partial throwback to armor resistances versus different kind of weapons, except that it only takes penetrating weapons into account. Weren't blunt weapons like maces and so forth much more effective against...

A whole whack of changes done to: a) facilitate a low magic setting b) make it more deadly without bogging down the flow of the game with an entirely different combat mechanic. As a result, all of the core classes have changed, some have been removed, others replaced entirely. Magic is much...

So I'm finally taking a look at this system and two thimgs come ot mind. 1) This is the system I might have always wanted but 2) I wonder if its too complicated. Has anyone used it extensively? Does it flow or does it chug during gameplay? Is it balanced? Do characters die far too easily? Give...

So as I get older, I find myself returning to the authors and series that I loved when I was much younger (funny how that works.) I read the elric saga, count brass, a bunch of the other eternal champion related novels and so on and loved them. Nice and dark, epic and smart. I was at Mcnally's...

I'm curious as to how you envision adventuring in this campaign setting. From what you describe, it sounds more like a mission-based wargame rather than a roleplaying-oriented setting. Can you enlighten us? Cool nonetheless. Thanks.

Apologies for the tangent, but can you tell us more about what the oceans would be like if there were no moon? Using earth as an example. Thanks!

I find half-orcs a ridiculous enough concept. But half-trolls? Half-umber hulks? Puhleeze.:rolleyes:

Ok, I had assumed it was a yahoo issue. I've had nothing but grief with yahoo groups in the past.
