    Champions RPG

    I'd say that Hero System has changed about as much as D&D between the editions. Yeah, the core is the same but the game in general has evolved buckets of detail. The characters are right in the same ball park as far as powers go (same DEF & d6 of attacks), but like D&D, they are expected to now...

    I've finished reading Ptolus!

    I have read it a few times barring the actual spire stuff. Overall well written but amazingly it seems a little thin to me. I took the PDF players guide expanded on the groups section by about 14 pages --- adding a whole host of criminal organizations. In this kind of game, I want the flavor of...

    ENnie Awards logo design wanted

    Interesting ideas. I know that some creative soul will do a bang up job.

    Using Ptolus without the Machines and Chaositech

    I use Ptolus without any Chaositech or firearms in a gritty low magic campaign akin to the dark ages using the Hero System. Entire swathes of the book can be dropped or altered without affecting the overall product or diminushing the value. It's a good city with some great hooks ~ you'll just...

    Mayfair "Role Aids" products: Favorites? Conversions?

    Lich Lords was one of my favorite campaigns. The DM teased out the module to last for about 2 years of weekly gaming. My poor 1st ed 11th Level Archer-Ranger didn't live to see the defeat of the Penticate.

    Wonder Woman Casting Continues...

    :confused: Wonder Woman is right. Now, all we need is a little kinky wardrobe and a nice rope and we are set for some heroic action!

    Mind-altering books you would recommend?

    Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach Most everything by M. Scott Peck (Beat of a Different Drum and Road Less Travelled) Dune... I thought everybody read Dune? Wil & Arial Durants History of the World. Amazing piece of work even if some of it is now...

    How much profanity in your game?

    Cuss like sailors and I lead the pack with gruesome tales of impropriety picked up here and there at work.

    Best Modern Game System

    HERO... Dark Champions is tailor made for the spy genre. I have been playing in a vigilante campaign for more than a decade (two seperate campaigns, actually). GURPs is another good choice and I have heard some good stuff about Spycraft.

    3rd Party Recommendations

    The Game Mechanics and 12 to Midnight have some great modern adventures with an x-files vibe to them. I also agree with the Dark Furies backdrops... they are sweet and have a ton of work put into each product.

    Do players really care for the campaign setting?

    I am all about setting. Put me in a silly inconcieved randomland of evil wizards delving deep into the earth because we don't have enough sink holes and I am hittin' the door. I want a cohesive setting that makes some sort of sense to my internal guide of right and wrong ~ i.e. MIDNIGHT...

    Has the free Ars Magica pdf increased your purchases?

    I never gave Ars much of a chance but since downloading the PDF and being impressed by the work, I have accumulated half-a-dozen titles/adventures.

    Logo Design

    I dislike it. Too little contrast, too much occular gumbo, and nearly zero punch. 2nd Question = Yes. Results? I designed the logo for the Pencil Pushers website with a suggested font from a graphic guy. www.pencil-pushers.net if you want to see the results.

    Gamegrene.com wants you to plug your company

    Neat site. I like the "quirkiness."

    Advertorials with no game content in Dragon

    Give that man a gold star!! :D PS - more fluff, less crunch for those of us who buy Dungeon and Dragon but use other systems. For a good spell I considered dropping the titles but the recent issues have inched toward keeping my dollar.
