    Star Wars Saga RPG: Square Book? WTF

    Heh, This is what happens when you let bad marketing weasels get involved. Jack (a good marketing weasel)

    Superhero RPG

    Well, I'd also have to say that Mutants and Masterminds is the way to go. Be ready for a change of paradigm though if you're coming from V&V and Marvel Superheroes. Effects based systems can be a little daunting at first. Once you get a handle on them though you'll wonder why you ever used...

    Help ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well, If your DM plays Druids like I play Druids you are in a world of hurt in a fair fight. I know I would open up with Summoned Swarms to distract your spell casting. If the Animal Companion can keep you distracted for a round they'll probably start summoning. If not then expect a lot of...

    Post-Apocalyptic Settings

    Well, Darwin's World 2 is definately the definitive d20 PA game. Can't say enough good things about this game. Gamma World 3rd Ed. - The best version out there if you can get your hands on it. A lot of things that made it into D20 seem to have been tested in this version of the old classic...

    Game Hybrids That Should Not Be

    Actually, It's a reference to Talislanta's old marketing campaign slogan "No Elves!" Jack

    WOO HOO!!! ENWorld is Back!!!

    OK, Some of you folks are probably confused but this is the first time I've been able to connect to ENworld since the 17th of April. For some reason a server somewhere in the US decided to disconnect me from the one site I visit every day. Some of the more canny will realize this was the same...

    [Rant] Do editing/proofreading errors drive you mad, too?

    It drives me nuts, I've described it akin to driving down a road and hitting invisible speed bumps. It's really jarring. I swore off Mongoose for a long while because the editing was so terrible. But apparently I wasn't alone in that because they made big strides to improve. WotC knows that...

    Eberron's Worth...

    Well, For those not really sold on Eberron I highly recommend taking a look through Secrets of Sarlona. No warforged, skyships, or Dragonmarks. Psionics are the norm and Arcane magic is rare. Very different feel from the traditional fantasy settings. I liked Eberron but was never really crazy...

    Battletech with D20

    Actually, I highly recommend Armeggedon: 2089 from Mongoose. Easy conversion to Battletech and really intelligent set of rules (once you grab the errata). Jack.

    A Question About Eric Noah

    You know, After all this what we need is to print up some ENWorld t-shirts that say "I AM ERIC NOAH!" across the front. I think it would make GenCon a riot. Jack

    The problem of sundering

    Because it stops said person from continuing to HIT you with it. Also sundering an opponents shield can make it considerably easier to hit and damage them in later rounds. It's a surprisingly good tactic. Jack
