    Fantasy RPGs that do things... different?

    I had thought about using oWoD Sorcerer (for magic) revised along with the Inquisition sourcebook (for faith), throw in the virtues from Exalted, use Humanity (Humanity = Conviction + Compassion and Willpower = Temperance + Valor), and then use the Changeling Kiths as races. Nonspellcasters...

    Fantasy RPGs that do things... different?

    Riddle of Steel (if you can find it) The Riddle of Steel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia White Wolf's Dark Ages line. Though if I were to play Dark Ages Mage, I would convert the stuff to... Ars Magica. Creo Imaginem level 90 Of course, Earthdawn. Which actually has logical explanations...

    Ye old Birthright

    Masque of the Red Death was even lower magic than Birthright and Jakandor had some breaks on magic itself. And neither was a medieval campaign. MotRD was Victorian and Jakandor was Mayans vs. Vikings. Even Al Qadim had a no generalist rule and thus no spellcaster except the Sha'ir (or in...

    Which of the Core 3 do you own? (3e or 3.5)

    I didn't say that was everything I own Xp. I have every 3.0e, 2e, and 1e hardback, I kinda got tired of collecting D&D by the time 3.5 rolled along, but got the 4e corebooks for completeness sake.

    Which of the Core 3 do you own? (3e or 3.5)

    I still use the 3.0 DMG in 3.5 games because of the optional rules that didn't make it. Its strange how a book with lower page count had more content in it.

    Storytelling Games

    At first I thought that the White Wolf games were special in how they developed story and made it more important than mechanics, but when I went back to D&D the way I ran games changed. I originally ran D&D with a dungeon or wilderness map with a single goal in mind. It wasn't exactly on...

    Did you ever play Empire of the Petal Throne?

    Yes, and it was one of the first conversions I placed in the old conversion library. My initial version was a bit more D&D-like and I think Blue Troll (Blue Troll's Netbooks - Welcome) still has a copy but Google absolutely will not let me get there because it is a listed attack site. My most...

    The End of the Gaming Renaissance

    Yes, thank you. That's what I was saying. It wasn't that everyone was tired of D&D and were just waiting for 3rd. The confusion may stem from the fact that Revised came out in 1998, a year after D&D 2nd was officially dead. I still love 2nd Edition and would love to play it again. But I...

    The End of the Gaming Renaissance

    To nitpick, 2nd Edition D&D came out in 1989. Vampire the Masquerade 1st Edition came out in 1991. 2nd Edition Vampire the Masquerade came out in 1992. And the revised 2nd Edition Handbooks for D&D didn't come out until 1995, along with the Player's Option Handbooks. The "end of the edition...

    New Non-WoTC Games?

    Anthony Gallela of Bucephalus Games had written an article (the link is unfortunately dead) that stated that to make a dead tree print run and market a new game you needed about $50,000. I've had a friend put a game on dtrpg.com/rpgnow.com for free.

    Request for Comment: Hero Points

    In games instead of using the best d6 out of several, I just add them together like d20 Star Wars Force Points, so at levels 8-14 you added +2d6, and at levels 15+ you added +3d6. The only problem with using them this way was our player with incredibly bad luck who rolled 1d20 + 3d6 and got a...

    What RPG for the Twilight book series?

    Just for the proper use of latin e.g. basically means "look up this reference", i.e. means "for example" which is what is more correct for the above. Gary Gygax taught me that years ago via the 1st Edition AD&D books.

    Yep, pretty much how I feel most of the time.

    Ars Magica, the Cyclopedia, and 3E

    My apologies for the misinterpretation.

    How many of you have made your own RPG?

    Mostly as a kid I just tinkered with D&D. But I got my start because I had a the Mentzer Basic D&D set, the Expert set that went with the Moldvay Edition, the Monsters section torn out of the Holmes Edition along with the Chits, a 1st Edition AD&D PH (later I got a 1st Edition Oriental...

    Ars Magica, the Cyclopedia, and 3E

    Most of those are true, except for: -Actually, the 1e Bard was the prototype prestige class. The RC anti-paladin/paladin/druid were based on it. -The General Skills system as per my original post worked exactly like the NWP system, the only differences were the name and the fact that all skills...
