I would have to say that I would be playing GURPS if my group was not playing our extremely hybrid D&D 3.25 game. The other option, equally likely, is that we would be playing Classic Traveller. Still, GURPS is more likely, as I have lots of sourcebooks for it and am quite familiar with the...

Let's see, where to begin? DragonQuest by SPI Top Secret (not Top Secret:SI) Villains & Vigilantes Gamma World (Second Edition) The Morrow Project (strange, but true) I could go on, but there's a start.

Well, my roommate is a long time gamer, but she really doesn't like wading through the message boards. So she relies on me to tell her about interesting threads and post her comments. Her opinion of 4e, after skimming through the DMG and reading the PH is, and I quote, "there is no way in...

The best part about this is, if you don't like that rule, it's optional. Don't use it. I have been reading this thread since the beginning. Every time I think I should chime in and add something Jürgen comes along and says exactly what needs to be said better than I could. I figured that...

With the miniature-centric 4th edition, I am surprised that these are not on the immediate reprint list. I can't see why any of these sets are allowed to go out of print as long as they make money. Enough people ask for these sets, you would think they would listen.

Sadly, I had no way of getting to the one game store in the area who held Free RPG Day events. So, my swag is non-existent. :(

There's one tiny store in a suburb of Minneapolis that is participating. I would go there, but I cannot drive (health reasons) and all my rides seem to be out of town this weekend. So, trapped at home. :(

They might have, but I had to let my membership expire, so I can't search the forums.

I've got them if you want them. I downloaded them to see what the big deal was with 4e.

Interesting. I think I can translate that to 3.5 or some other system I'll actually use. Shouldn't be too hard.

A quick copy and paste into a Google Doc and I now have a quick list of occupations for when I am creating all sorts of encounters. Thanks for the link! I am starting to assemble a collection of documents like this as a general gaming resource.

You know, I have to agree with these guys. I do not see anything wrong with it. Well, other than the fact it is using an edition I don't particularly like, but that's easily remedied. It's a fine, short, encounter.

Just as an aside, wow, no Lawful Neutral? That eliminates some of the best characters I have ever played, and some of the most interesting ones I have ever been a DM for. I am just a bit surprised by that, actually.

I don't know where I fit in on this poll. I'll play a large number of games, with few exceptions (Hero System, Palladium, D&D 4e, Traveller: The New Era). I'll run a rather large number of games, again with a few exceptions (All the ones I won't play, plus the WoD games, and anime-themed...

My answer would be an unavailable option. I dislike 4e, I own the books, but have not played it.

Why should they do it or what should they be doing? As for why, it's simple. Good customer support breeds brand loyalty and word of mouth recommendations. As for what should they be providing, that's a bit trickier. Let's start with supplying errata for all the books they printed. Other...

I am willing to wager, however, that 2e character concepts created with the core 2e books could be created with the core 3e books. This is what I am talking about. The character concepts that my players have are all created with 3e core books only. Many of them are not possible with 4e core...

Steve Jackson Games supports all the games they have ever produced, including the OOP ones. If you find errata for an old edition of GURPS, for example, and you send it to them they will post that errata on the appropriate book page. Steve Jackson Games has always supported their products...

And you know, in my opinion, that is where they dropped the ball. The players in my group will have a great deal of difficulty re-creating the "feel" of their 3.0 core-based characters because many aspects of their characters are not possible in core 4e. It's rather like telling someone to...

You know, I have to say that I am on the DMs side here. If he doesn't like the game, and doesn't want to run the game, then he shouldn't have to. After all, he's running the game because it is fun for him to do it. If it is not fun, and it is a game, then what's the point? If the current...
