We tried a Tabloid! Game that never got off the ground. I have all the books and I find them to be very valuable resources for other games. I used them in other venues including a Buck Rogers XXVc game where I replaced their Earth with the Kromosome Earth, or the Pendragon game I tried to set...

Oh, you mean the same bookstores that put Quantum Mechanics in the mathematics section or put the "Tao of Physics" in with serious physics textbooks. Really. How much does Neil Gaiman really share with Rob Lefield in terms of the type of stories that he tells. Not a whole lot, but both of...

There is an old GURPS meta-game where you pick three books (beside the main rulebook, okay now two main rulebooks) and you run it as a game: Final Fantasy VII: Fantasy, Martial Arts, and Cyberpunk Final Fantasy VIII: Fantasy, Magic, Ultratech Final Fantasy IX: Fantasy, Steampunk, Steamtech...

What you were calculating is the percent chance of getting a number of failures equal to your die pool. Since you only need a single success, probabilities are additive (really they use the binomial theorem). So you chances of failure are (not including 10 agains): luck die--90% (+10% of...

RLW came out a full year before the original Final Fantasy. Oh, and please support your statements. I want line item. Just note you are talking to someone who did Vampire the Masquerade conversions to d20 long before Monte Cook ever thought of it. Then do them yourself and stop depending...

Sorry Double Post As for the D&D to Final Fantasy connection, go watch "Record of Lodoss War".

Sticking with official TSR and WotC products: Nonwestern: Oriental Adventures (1st Edition and 3rd Edition versions), Maztica (2nd Edition), Complete Ninja's Handbook (2nd Edition), Old Empires (2nd Edition), Al Qadim (2nd Edition), Empire of the Petal Throne (OD&D related: Tékumel :: The...

Its not always just literature. I was basically chided by two different 50-something gamers for liking Dark Sun (actually one them called it a steaming pile and the other one was not that far behind him, though they have never met). For them D&D itself was innovative. You got to play a single...

Just don't let them use two cans of Playdoh, we did that once and it really unbalanced the game.

I really enjoy the gods of Empire of the Petal Throne (Tékumel :: The World of the Petal Throne) especially Ksarul and Thumis since they are the gods of knowledge and give actually teeth to academic infighting (but that might be due to my leaving a PhD program).

Uh, no. I've had players completely fail diceless challenges in a WoD game by doing something stupid, by just not planning out carefully what they wanted to do, or by underestimating the size of the threat that they were facing. Its easy to do.

The ones I have are: The 13th Precinct. Actually gives you advice on the police in WoD, something missing from most games. Dogs of War. Guide to playing military campaigns. Gives trigger rules for preventing morality loss Second Sight. Rules for psychics and hedge magicians. Useful for...

I bought a copy of the GR Thieves' World Player's Manual for $9.85 and reordered a green and red chess set for the third time (this time the supplier says its in stock).

Got my swag. Before you get upset at your FLGS just note that these kits are not free for them, it costs them $65 to buy a "free" RPG day kit.

The original system punished you with dice by making "1s" take away successes. The new system does not. All rolls are a straight 8 or better on a die is a success and a 10 allows a reroll of the dice. The only way to critically fail is to roll a "1" on the luck die and you basically have to...

You cannot reproduce art. Its a violation of PI and you need permission from Paizo to do so. I would highly recommend you taking out the art to avoid trouble.

About time I really started reading my WtF: Probably mental attributes should be primary for investigation unless you want to be a social type. I would probably put physical last and put most of your points in Dexterity for firearms use. Same with skills. Tribe: Probably Bone Shadow or Iron...

Oh, you mean like Dungeons & Dragons. :)

Yeah, I had thought of that just before I read the post.

Isn't it a bit premature to be making a PFRPG SRD from the Beta knowing it will be made invalid at GenCon with the release of the actual thing?
