    New Star Wars RPG!

    question then, what is an attack? if i prevent my enemy from attacking me by tripping them over and pushing them back using force push, is that an attack, or a pre-emptive defense? (hmm, pre-emptive defense, sounds like something that we don't want to make political. poor choice of words i...

    New Star Wars RPG!

    handing out dark side points for using force push on people? i would think that it would be based on intent. in the movies the jedi seems to use it to disable and distract, not directly maim or kill. sure, you would get some scratches and bruises, and maybe a broken limb if your realy unlucky...

    D20 Modern Spectaculars Canceled

    its mostly the concepts behind the games that makes me go "hell no!". and from what i understand, the theory that this games are based on cant realy be used to define the type of games that i define as roleplaying games... basicly the games seems to rob the character of all that makes it the...

    D20 Modern Spectaculars Canceled

    hmm, if i know the source of said games correctly, im guessing that they only do so by forgoing any kind of character crunch and only have ways for the players to take control of the story. sorry, but not what i prefer to call a rpg...

    New Star Wars RPG!

    more likely then not they have a system similar to chatolic monks, only not formal but encuraged. look at how padme and anakin have to hide that they are together and so on. their lightsaber they make themselfs as a kind of initiation rite often (luke got his first handed down to him, but...

    observe that i talk about d20 modern, not only d20 specteculars. basicly its a comment about having a game that can do "everything" depending on what books you have available...

    Fighting the Black Pharoah...and winning

    hehe, the fear of magic :P hmm, i realy need to get my hands on that collection of grim and gritty rules for d20 at some point. the fear of magic is needed in some other games to (alltho not to the degree that it is in cocd20).

    Fighting the Black Pharoah...and winning

    most likely he knew about said gun, it was just that he had forgotten about it. most likely because the player had been smart and not using it very often ;)

    New Star Wars RPG!

    im not sure they could have done that. control, sense, alter allso existed in west end games D6-based star wars, so i dont think its a creation of wotc. it may well be that its part of the IP that wotc is allowed to tap into. the wound/vitality system however is something they most likely have...

    What do you like in a RPG?

    im starting to tink plugable rules modules. the basis should be a single simple mechanic that can be used for all things, including combat. this way you have a simple basis, and should be playable at said stage. then on top of that you can plug in all kinds of modules that add to said rules...

    cant say im surprised that urban arcana goes 3.5 on the grapple, as its more tuned to being a modern day d&d kinda place (bugbears and whats not walking the city streets and all that).
