Well, First off Greyhawk, Greyhawk, Greyhawk, lots of Greyhawk. Second, a brand new D20 Future setting which isn't a clone of Star Wars or Traveller. Something with a more contemporary Transhumanist slant akin to Peter Hamilton's Night's Dawn series minus the dead people and the Deus Ex...

Hmmm... Diaglo seems to want to put some major coin into this auction. I wonder how high I can push his bid? Mwahahahahaha Jack

Hmmm... Sounds like a setting with some real PUNCH! (Somedays I make even myself groan) Jack

124. The body of a male Kalishtar slowly tumbles floating in midair high above the streets and between the great towers. It wears dark cloths and lacks foot wear. The hands and feet are blackened and shrivelled. The eyes are wide open and the mouth is locked in a rictus-like grin. 125. The body...

Well, Check out Full Thrust and Dirtside. The rules are now free and available in the downloads section at www.gzg.com. Jack

Yes, I did very well at the pre-release tournament with one. However, I learned the hard way that they're better used as shooters than melee fighters. The Commander effect can really be worth it when the 19's and 20's come up. Don't forget that they have the empowered cure which is like having...

Hmmm, I don't think I've ever based a character off of a movie I saw. In fact the only character I've ever based off of someone else was my longest running character, the Nightshadow. And he was based off of Lassiveren the Dark from the Rogues Gallery (as depicted in my avatar). I'm more likely...

Crap, They've added beard to the gamer geek profile? And here I am experimenting with one for the first time. Damn. And I just bought a really nice black t-shirt at Old Navy too. Does it count if it doesn't have a gamer or computer slogan on it? (It's a really nice shirt) At least I smell good...

Well, My only current character is a Kalishtar Psychic Warrior. SO I didn't vote at all. Jack.

Well, Sticking to systems I've actaully played I'd have to say Rifts followed by Space Opera. And both of these because of the rule systems not the settings. Rifts... Rifts is just bad. Space Opera was really cool (I still cling to my rule books) but any system that requires 5 rolls to resolve...

Yep, Halfway between Ottawa and Montreal is pretty much nowhere. I was hoping it was closer to TO so I could beg, borrow or steal a spot at your game. :) Jack

So where is Vankleek Hill, Ont.? :) Jack

Mongoose's Armegeddon: 2089. But I still like it. Jack

It causes the rules set to change to Synnabar. :) What? He SAID it was a doomsday device. Jack

Personally, The character is a spy. One of the perceptional problems with D&D is that everyone seems to wear a big label with their classes written on it. I suggest we stop looking at the names of the classes and look at the abilities involved. The character is a highly charismatic and charming...

I have to throw in my suggestion for Ex Machina as well. The system is effect based so you can build the character you want and not get into a toy race like CP2020 or Shadowrun. And the settings are brilliant. I so wish I knew a group playing using the beanstalk setting. Jack

It's not a huge new rules system. In fact very little of the book is rules. Most of the book is all actual legacy items with their histories, powers and little sidetreks on how to introduce them into your game. Anyone else notice that there is not a single battleaxe, waraxe ot greataxe in the...

Heh, Thanks for that link. My sister is a sales rep for Pfizer. Now I have even MORE ammuntion for family functions. Jack

Well, One critical foul-up that I've noticed. Their are three rituals associated with most of the items; least, lesser and greater. Each of these rituals must be completed before you can unlock the abilities associated with them. However, NO WHERE in the book does it tell you which abilities...

Well, I'll second what Justin said above, decide what sort of story you want to tell. Once you've done that come up with a starting point and tell your players to create character concepts around it. No stats yet, just concepts. For example here is what I did for my very successful homebrew: I...
