    d20 or Bust?

    I am the primary GM. Learning and teaching the systems has always fallen on me. Now when I was younger and in high school and college, it was fairly easy to keep all of these different systems stright in my head. Then as I got older, and became a computer programmer, got married, had a kid...

    Making Spycraft chases sizzle

    We tried the rules for Spycraft chases, and they seemed really fun in theory. But in practice, the fast exciting races slowed the game to a crawl. So in the end, chases became just too long for us, and we returned to winging it. But we don't play with minatures either, because they take to...

    Good d6 books for the d20 game

    I don't really play any Star Wars D20, but played a lot of the WEG version of star Wars for years. My favorite supplements that may be useful to you: The Corporate Sector Sourcebook The Dark Empire Sourcebook and there was this really cool book that was a compilation of fan designed...

    Adventure - Trinity, Aberrant, etc

    Wow, I was really impressed with the preview for Adventure. I must admit that I have never played any of the Trinity games (Adventure, Aberrant, or Aeon/Trinity). That preview shows some real potential in Adventure! What has been everyone elses experience with this setting? Razuur

    How much time do you spend on RPGs?

    Actual game prep: 4 hours of prep for every hour of gaming on average. Reading, web surfing, checking, thinking... *WAY* to much. 2 - 4 hours a day?

    Book sales per company? What's average?

    300 copies! Holy smokes. I had no idea it was that low. That number suprises me, as I would have expected it to be ten times that amount. My RP purchasing has not really fluctuated much since D20 came out. The real difference is that since products are getting mroe expensive, I tend to get...

    Have Your RPG Purchased Dropped Off?

    It has remined the same - and gone up sometimes because the products are more expensive nowadays. I find the stuff coming out now is the stuff I wanted to come out when I heard of D20. There are companies out there making PRIMO stuff nowadays, and I want it, real bad. Razuur

    Which of these books are you buying?

    Changing things in the Modern SRD

    Also, under OGL, you can *change* anything you want. Take a look at Mongoose's OGL line. They did just that - made changes to the Modern SRD t fit their genre. Razuur

    T20 Homebrew Worlds?

    I actually use a T20 variant for a Doctor Who RPG called Time Lord. I think T20 suffers from not releasing a really good big campaign setting book. Other than that, it is real great. Razuur

    Castle Zagyg coming in 5-8 parts

    Is there any concern that this product may have difficulties since it is not D20? Sounds like a big project, and people haven't even seen Castle & Crusades. Troll Lords must have a lot of confidence in this line. Razuur

    OGL Horror?

    I love OGL Horror. It is a perfect Generic toolkit that has inspired me to run Horror type games taht are different from my usual horror type games. You can run entire campaigns (of which Dark Matter would be perfect) or one shots with ease. There is a lot in there - a lot of really great...

    Sell me on OGL Cybernet

    Hallo Cowpie Zombie! I am going to completely and respectively disagree with Mr. Jorgensen. I was thoroughly impressed by the product. I really don't agree with the lip service line. It is not a D20 product. OGL Cybernet is just that - an OGL game based on the Modern SRD. Since it is OGL...

    [Green Ronin] Kenson, Schwalb Join Green Ronin Publishing Staff

    Does this mean that Steve will be solely working on M&M stuff? I hope not, because I love steves work in fantasy... the witches Handbook, Shaman's Handbook, and Psychics Handbook are some of my fav supplements. OF course I love M&M too, so this is a good thing, but I wouldn't mind him sneaking...

    Does Green Ronin's The Psychic's Handbook work as a standalone Psionics supplement?

    It is perfect. If you hate 3e psionics, this is the book for you because it really "feels" like psychic powers. If you like 3e Psionics, then you can still use this for "Psychics" vs Psioniscists. It is much more subtle, and a lot more iconic. You could make someone who reads minds, to a...

    When creating adventures, do you "fudge" the rules?

    The story is paramount, and the rules just a toolkit. The story wins everytime. So yes, I fudge when I feel it is necessary. That said I have a lot of little techniques for making it look like it is in the hands of fate, when really, it is completely in my control. Teh players don't...
