I'm frankly afraid that may be part of the point. Apparently even the online "game table" will feature collectible online miniatures which you will be able to purchase in random packs and use on the table. I suspect they are making too much money off of the minis games and not enough off of the...

Actually, many of us are playing it (Mutants & Masterminds.) Dave, Jason, Chris and I have quite a little campaign going in the world of Aberdave, which very closely parallels the world of Paragons. Although not exactly, because we started playing about three months ago and the book has been out...

Well, again, I think we are going to continue to disagree on this subject. I think this continuing trend in rules mechanics to give players more of an ability to pull their GM along in the direction they want the game to go is a good thing. I think it is all part of the move away from the "GM...

I have been reading through the Paragons book for Mutants and Masterminds I picked up at Gen Con and they have a really interesting section on "Paradigm Shifts." The idea is that superpowered people will end up changing the world. And it applies a game mechanic to how that can be accomplished...

Hope the game went well yesterday. I REALLY wish I was there instead of at work. I worked 9:30 to 6:30 then 10:30 to 1 a.m. This really sucks. I have been browsing the 4e tidbits and I was in that press conference at Gen Con and so far I have yet to be blown away by what I am hearing, mechanics...

Well it is 1 p.m. and I am NEARLY finished cleaning out my ex-coworker's desk. I haven't started the training yet and I still have other stuff to do. So, I'm thinking I probably cannot make it today. Sorry folks. Kill something for me!

I hope to still make it, but I just don't want you guys to count on me being there. We'll see how it goes.

Please don't count on me being there tomorrow. My coworker who shares the Web responsibilities with me was fired today. I need to deal with his share of the workload, and clean the crap out of his desk. Then I need to train people to do our e-Edition, which we just passed off this weekend. What...

You guys can start without me. I don't know who all is making it though, are we really playing?

I can probably walk out the door at 2 p.m., assuming nothing goes wrong. Big turmoil at work this week and for many weeks to come, I'm afraid. i suspect I will be putting in lots of extra hours.

Wednesday? We were talking about playing Wednesday?

I hope so. I need to work Saturday morning unfortunately, but should be good early afternoon.

It appears to be based on the typical WW Storyteller mechanic. Roll a handful of d10s (dice pool) and any 7, 8, 9 or 10 counts as one success. Tougher actions require more successes to succeed. For example, 5 successes would be extremely difficult. I had a lot of fun playing Aberrant years...

My understanding is that you are some sort of avatar of a god, born as a mortal who has to regain godhood over three games Scion: Hero, Demigod and God. The WW spokesman told me it feels a lot like Aberrant in play. it is set in modern times. I recently finished reading and really enjoying Neal...

I'm really interested in the Scion line, but I can't imagine who/when I would get anyone to play it.

According to ICv2, the most popular RPGs are: Dungeons & Dragons Star Wars RPG Warhammer Fantasy World of Darkness Scion It looks like Star Wars and Scion have bumped Mutants & Masterminds off of the list!

Sure. It is pretty interesting, focusing on the anime take on Western monsters like the vampire and werewolf and how the Japanese have breathed new life into these old concepts. I still love BESM/Tri-stat. I wouldn't want to pick up all their anime-series-specific books, but these general...

And that was quite the tragedy. I felt your pain!

I had no idea that Conan 2 was even out. I walked right past the Mongoose booth many times and even stopped inside once, and didn't notice it. What are your thoughts on it?

Well, compared to last year, I really reigned myself in this year. I paid full price for two books (one of which was a $9.95 book) and got the rest at big discounts. I bought: Mutants & Masterminds: Paragons -- super powers in "real world" settings. Savage Worlds Explorer's Edition --...
