    Villains & Vigilantes is BACK!

    The very first RPG adventure I ever ran successfully was a V&V adventure. There were three characters; Lightlord (light control, flight, force field etc.), The Amber Ghost (insubstantiality and Heightened Charisma; probably had other powers) and Z-Man (Willpower A..and that was it. The player...

    Villains and Vigilantes

    I just ran V&V last Thursday night, in fact. I do have Living Legends and I frankly think it's pretty good, probably running 2nd to Mutants and Masterminds with me right now. You can create characters randomly, but it is really a point-based system. I ran a combat on Friday night after we...

    Wrestling Roleplaying

    www.comicimages.com/kyr WWE Know Your Role. This game rocks. I have been running it since it was in playtest, and it is a tremenndous amount of fun, has rules for on-the-fly maneuvers, great rules for promos, putting on shows...and a great Yahoo Group, WWERPGFan. Allen Shock

    WWE performer Eddie Guerrero dies

    Found this very sad news: http://www.wrestlingobserver.com/wo/news/headlines/default.asp?aID=14751 Man, I loved to watch Eddie perform. This just really sucks. But no matter how I feel about losing Eddie the performer, his family has lost Eddie the husband and Eddie the father, and that is far...

    M&M: What types of heroes are in your games?

    The heroes in my game are: SENTINEL (not the sample character, but a Paragon - i.e. Superman) MISS MYSTIC (obviously, a Mystic and a character my wife has played in various superhero games for 20+ years) MINOTAUR (the player liked him back in 1st ed. so we lifted him) BRAINSTORM (psychic) WRATH...

    M&M: What types of heroes are in your games?

    You use the Device power as an Alternate Powers array, and possibly buy the powers as Dynamic. Allen

    M&M2e: No HP!? What were they thinking?

    I wouldn't use hit points in a Mutants and Masterminds game if someone gave me a copy of Motion Picture Funnies Weekly #1 to do so. And I know someone who did use that variable defense rule..and it completely ruined his game. I have NO problem with the so-called optional rules being gone...

    What's the Most Asinine Character Idea/Concept You've Dealt With?

    When I used to run Champions, one person in my group decided that, since organizations were built on points like characters were, he wanted to play an organization as a PC. The whole organization. Later, he decided that, as an excuse to be involved in the campaign but not actually have to risk...

    WWE: Know Your Role is here

    http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/WWERPGFan/ Also there should be a sheet on the webpage by now. It's....adequate. But the Word sheet on the Yahoo Group is a bit better. Allen

    When Bob wants to play a female PC

    I generally try to discourage cross-gender roleplaying because frankly, I have seen very few players who can actually pull it off. The women played by men wind up TOO masculine and vice versa. But I don't disallow it; if someone insists, I let them. The problem in my most recent group was one...

    The trends of 2005

    These would almost have to be fan produced freebies since WWE actually owns the rights to WCW and ECW but to do supplements they would have to get the rights to use all the former WCW and ECW wrestlers' names and images, and they aren't going to want to do that. But i definitley expect we'll...

    Apologies

    Thanks for the tip. I've spent $200 on D&D Miniatures this week so I'm flat broke for now, but maybe I can scrape it up. Games Plus is a cool place, I am told by my friend David Nelson who used to play wargames there a lot. Allen

    Apologies

    I apologize for the earlier thread I posted. I panicked, I guess; didn't intend to violate board rules or such. Allen

    Backpack stolen, magazine gone

    I have been planning to run an adventure from Dungeon # 41, "Deadly Treasure" for my group this Friday night. I had the magazine in my backpack, planning to photocopy the adventure (I do that when running Dungeon adventures, makes them easier to use). Some (&*%^$#% ripped my backpack off, and...

    Most Missed Defunct Gaming Magazines?

    The gaming magazine I miss the most is the Steve Jackson Games version of The Space Gamer. It was just a great magazine to read. Sadly, "general purpose" gaming magazines simply don't make money. I'm not even sure Dragon actually makes a profit, but then I don't actually know. Allen

    WWE KNOW YOUR ROLE Demo

    I got ahold of a cut-and-paste version of the upcoming WWE: KNOW YOUR ROLE RPG demo that was passed out at Gen Con and I have been trying it out with some friends. It's definitley D20/OGL. but with some tweaks. I have to say it is fun, fast-paced and better than what there is of Wrestle D20. I...

    Gygax's views on OGL

    Incorrect. TSR continued to pursue the lawsuit after the name change, using the infamous "points of similarity" argument, including that Dangerous Journeys used polyhedral dice...I remember all this well because I was on the Traveller Mailing List when GDW went down and the lawsuit was part of...

    Reinventing Roleplaying Games

    I completely disagree. It has been tried; it's called the Storyteller System and the World of Darkness. This "storytelling" stuff was it's main selling point! This "hobby vs game" guano is the most pretentious junk I have seen on the net since "Hey netpunks!"... Allen

    IT'S TRUE, IT's TRUE!

    ttp://www.icv2.com/articles/news/4574.html As for who the designers are, I know not...perhaps this information will become available. As for the other d20 wrestling game, I assume you mean Wrestle D20 by Fantages Studios? They released the first three parts and then it essentially entered...
