    post-apocalyptic campaigns!

    Well, I've had this idea for years but never been able to take the time to develop it and run it. The concept is essentially that the entire campaign occurs with in a ginat arcology that survived the fall of mankind. It's sealed off from the outside which has become entirely uninhabitable. It...

    "Okay, I'll just lie here..."

    Yes this sucks, it's why I switched to Mutants and Masterminds. Same ability to tweak your character to what ever you dream up AND combats don't take entire sessions to play out. I ran Champions for a very long time and was never happy about how long combat took. If you can, convince your group...

    Please..forgive me

    You know, I used to think LARPers were the scariest gamers could get. Now I can be creeped out by LARPers who sing. And maybe some day my skin will stop crawling. And THIS isn't helping: http://www.mybarbarian.com/goc-index.html Jack

    Is Mutants and Masterminds really as versatile as I've heard?

    OK, "Big" may have been an exaggeration but it is something that M&M does that Champions doesn't. The reason for that difference is irrelevent. The "biggest" reason I choose M&M over Champions is the speed of play but I didn't want to turn this into a discussion on the merits of one system over...

    Beanstalks

    Hey, Another great source that no one has mentioned is the Ex Machina RPG from Guardians of Order. It has an entire campaign setting based around a Beanstalk. Great information and read, I highly recommend it. Jack

    Is Mutants and Masterminds really as versatile as I've heard?

    The Power Level limit has become a limit only for PC's. Villian's and NPC's ignore the restrictions. The GM is directed to review the power level of the villians by looking at their highest bonus/save DC. Beyond that thought the sky is the limit. Another quick note, PL now only restricts...

    Eberron adventures - do they feature psionics?

    Well, Considering someone posted the question their are probably a few of us that do. But thanks for vomiting out your close-minded opinion, Reverend. In any case there is a significant amount of Psionic support in Magic of Eberron including psionic warforged (psiforged) and psionic...

    d20 Cyberscape

    Heh, Not Shadowrun, Cyberpunk. It was out several years prior to Shadowrun and introduced cyber psychosis. In turn I "think" they got the concept from a short story by Bruce Sterling. I agree with the reviewer, the Cyberpunk movement is over and it has evolved into the transhumanist stories...

    How can DMs improve? What makes a good DM?

    Wow, This was almost exactly what I was going to say. I feel... redundent. :) Jack

    So how did the PC's get the ship?

    Whoa, OK did you use to live in Toronto 'cause I played in this game. We ended up selling our sleeper ship to a museum in order to purchase a more contemporary one. Was a great game but only went a couple sessions before the guy running it moved away. I can't even remember his name. Great game...

    $50 burning a hole my pocket

    Well, If you didn't pick it up at GenCon you might want to grab M&M 2.0 when it hit stands at the end of the week. Jack

    Things you would gladly buy...

    Let's see, The next edition of Mekton. A Five Star Stories campaign setting for the next edition of Mekton. D20 Rifts, heck even just a new system for Rifts that actually works. The Greyhawk Campaign Setting A really good generic space opera game. Traveller is just too dated and D20 Future...

    BlackHammer Tech - Shape Memory Polymers

    Shape Memory Polymers is a 10 page PDF detailing the origins, uses and game effects of an interesting area of near future tech. A little different from most equipment guides in that it looks at a single bleeding edge technology and extrapolates what uses it could be put towards a few years from...

    Why would/did you become a community supporter?

    I'm with Reveal here. ENWorld and the Ennies shouldn't be elitist enterprises. I know Xath spent a lot of time helping out with the Ennies and manning the booth at GenCon this year. I think that kind of commitment to the community is worth more than doling out for a community supporter account...

    So How Does Your Group Distribute Treasure?

    Well, My players add up everything as though they had sold it all. Magic and equipment are counted as 50% of purchase price. Then they split that amount evenly. Using that number they then "purchase" any items at the 50% price from the pool. If more than one person wants a particular item they...
