    Gold, Earth's very own starmetal or warpstone?

    The Earth also has the secondary effect of the proto-Earth/Theia impact which formed the Earth-Moon system and gave the Earth a larger than normal Iron core and the Moon a smaller than normal one. We have a proportionally higher magnetic field than the other terrestrial planets because of that...

    Horror - how dark is too dark?

    First Edition Wraith introduced using safewords much like in the BDSM community so that players could express when they felt you went too far (given that it was far darker and more personal than Vampire, that was probably good advice). You can set up a similar setup and if some of your players...

    Redhurst Academy of Magic

    I thought about doing it with Mage: the Awakening, because I have friends too emotionally invested in the Mage: the Ascension background and hate the new one. I just have to find a way to incorporate two new schools of magic because MtA has more Arcana than D&D has Schools.

    Call of Cthulhu reviewed by Sandy Peterson

    Okay, The basic one is CoCd20 which using Sanity hardening to give the characters a level of immunity to insanity (if I ran a D&D/CoC game I would only give it to Paladins and remove their Immunity to fear). Kult combines sanity with increasing levels of power (much like the powers checks of...

    Call of Cthulhu reviewed by Sandy Peterson

    You can see the success in the fact that everyone tries to fix "Sanity" from Kult to Unknown Armies to Dread to Don't Rest Your Head.

    Call of Cthulhu vs World of Darkness

    In terms of darkness both CoC and WoD hold candles to Kult. And it depends on how you run. It's easy to forget in WoD that if you are playing a monster you are a monster and the worst part is that you aren't even the biggest baddest monster out there. The vampires have their elders, the...

    Your intro to RPGs

    Sixth grade, in Florida at Lincoln Sixth Grade center in the gifted pod, year 1984. The guys started chanting D&D and had found the teacher's copy of the Holmes Boxed set. We played B2 Keep on the Borderlands and I played a thief who stole the ring from the Hermit.

    What would you give a pirate class?

    You should really be on top of your classroom, pistol, and rapier management, have a Bosun with a whip as a coteacher or teacher's aide, and a Principal more than willing to make them walk the plank. Sorry, can't help it. Too much professional development this summer. Xp

    I have found there is such a thing as TOO much gaming...

    Who puts the "class" in Armor Class?

    Actually HTK was used in the Mayfair Roleaids supplements instead of hit points.
