I've kicked out three players over my career, we'll call them A, B, and C. Player A was the type who always played the same kind of character. It was always a thief/assassin, always wore black and always hid in the trees. This includes a post-modern setting, far future, fantasy, whatever we...

What he said. On the other hand, I felt much the same way about Arcana Unearthed and it far exceeded my expectations when I finally got to read the book. I like Monte's work, I use most of it. But every once in a while, one comes out that just doesnt do anything for me. I dont know much...

When I had my subscription, I always got it about 2 or 3 days after someone posted the TOC here. So Im expecting another week. Is it in the stores?

Then there's my FLGS which only sells the material the store sponsored gaming clubs need to play at their place. These days I can hardly find any non-niche stuff either. Its turning into a big godzilla fanboy store... Its also 40 minutes away, and since there is less and less to go that far...

I'd say it looks like a devastated patch of forest grwon back over. Perhaps in ages past, some sort of magical apocalypse hit the area. Now the PC's have to venture forth to find the remnants of a lost civilization or an artifact of some worth. Perhaps its what cause the destruction ages ago...

Drool!

I have to agree here...Multiple sources of FTL, maybe even divided along racial/politcal lines. Our modern world alone is enough to show that there is always more than one way to accomplish something, yet in almost every Sci-fi setting out there, its always one choice, take it or leave it. Im...

Shame they're playing it durng Fear Factor...I cant stand that show.

LOL, maybe...but then I dont get the well deserved credit for the idea. He does. Dont worry the time of judgement for my gaming group will soon be at hand!

I think I can add a few to this list. Ive played in the same party as a Ray Darr (the anticipator?), A gnomish thief/ladies man who went by Valentine Victor Vargas Character's Ive personally played: The character with the longest name was an ogre barbarian: Toog of the Shieldbreaker clan...

Now..you see, I find this an annoying habit, simply because if you have a good idea, but you arent wearing the leader shirt, you get ignored. Can you imagine the looks Ive gotten when I tried to TAKE the leader shirt? And Karen, you didnt have to slap so hard! One of these days I'll sneak off...

Warning, I guess Id better cover my bases and warn here that there are minor spoilers within (though they will in way ruin your reading pleasure). Well since my last response, I finished 'Horizon Storms' by Kevin J. Anderson, book three of the saga of seven suns. This series has to be the...

Complexity isnt really an issue for me (when I think back on how many hours Ive burned playing Star Fleet Battles, the Tax..I mean Captain's Edition...), in fact done right, it is even more interesting to me if the system is a bit complex. GURPS on the other hand is a decent game by itself...

Ok, thanx for the comments, keep'em coming. One thing: I was asking about any edition...the two I mentioned are just the ones in the cheap binat the FLGS...given enough advice, Ill ignore them if the concensus comes up with a different one. I gotta admit, looking over the TNE book, it just...

Once again, I have the opportunity to pick up some older used manuals at a cheap price, and among them are some traveller books. There are 2 Traveller: The New Era books and a Megatraveller book. This got me to thinking: Traveller is one of the most revised games out there, with it seems a new...

You mean the military isnt innately evil? :)

As far as sneakers goes, you arent the only one. One day Ill have the presence of mind to toss a tape in the machine while its on. Most of the movies I would add to the list have already been mentioned. Its nice to find out that I havent just been picking wierd movies, that there are others...

Strange, as I recall Adam and Jamie proved that it would take more than a single cig to light one of them off... 'Course, whoever says they are scientists, needs to have his head checked ;)

Its due out sometime this month...it usually falls around the 14th or 15th, a couple days later for most stores to have it on the shelves (unless your FLGS is good about getting their pre-orders in on time).

I just rushed through 'a Forest of Stars' Book 2 of the saga of seven suns. Ive picked up the third ('Horizon Storms'), and I hope to get it done soon so I can get the 4th, due out I think this month (itll probably have to wait a bit). Once Ive finished that, I have 'Wizard for Hire', by Jim...
