I think your confusing 'branding' with 'product.'

SpiderMonkey: Please excuse me if I’m repeating stated views or misunderstanding your intent: I didn’t read the whole thread. I fail to understand what the sociological (and philosophical) implications of role-playing and a planned obsolescing business model have to do with the study of...

A real setting that they can skirt the edges of. No, seriously, I have a hard time understanding how a pirate setting can be anything but a fringe of soceity. I mean there would be nothing to loot and plunder otherwise.

I think any of the Basic original books are great to leaf through...I remember really liking the Expert rules set. I'd recomend: Rules Cyclopedia AD&D Players, DMG, Manual of the Planes and Unearthed Arcana 2nd Edition Players, Tome of Magic, Thief's Handbook, Paladin's Handbook, Villian's...

Sorry Double Post

Its also the nature of the game. As an artist you would much rather spend your time productively. Work your big gigs for the bills and then catch the filler work when its slower. Its just easier that way...throw in a couple of deadlines and bang: you only have a single piece in the product.

Birth is pain. Death is pain. It would be an abjection of nature to live life without pain. The only true path to purity of self, and spirit, is through the discovery, exploration, and acceptance of pain. To do otherwise is to deny life and live an empty shell of an exisistance...

Thanks for posting that. There is really precious little info about him...which sucks for us fans. Thanks.

Okay, I definately have to second Castle Falkenstein. Specifically, the books: The Notebooks of Leonardo DaVinci and Steam Age. I've also heard that SJG has done a GURPS version of the old Falkenstein core rules...which would probably be quite good considering the original ruleset was kinda...

After our first combat we halfed everyones hitpoints (including monsters). Haven't changed anything since.

The Firey Icepick of DOOM!!!!!! ....okay, okay...how about: The Inferno The Pyroclast The Furnace of Dawn

Two guys walked into a bar... the third guy made his spot check.

LOL! You bastard! I spit my drink all over my screen!

I know I'd love a copy of the PDF...I'm a little jealous I live so far away from a group that appears to share my whimsical take on roleplaying. As for the grand heights of the realm might I suggest another mime of the earth below...this time completely made of crystal and glass and near...

Idea: There are ancient, practical and usable, wells that have been in existance since the genesis of the Clutch. If delved into...far beyond the standard bobbing of water...they emerge in a completely mirrored world know only as 'Is'. Is is completely primal: driven solely by the need to...

"Her beauty reminds you of an aching dawn--stifled by the chilled silent lull of a black-masted thunderstorm."

While I'm more than a little jealous that people manage annual/semi-annual reunions, I did manage to get together with three old gaming buddies from highschool just last summer. I was on a business trip and managed to reconnect with a friend who I knew to be living in the area, another friend...

Thanks!!!

Very rarely. I've read some gaming books cover to cover that were so poorly written that I thought I wouldn't be able to play if I didn't. I've read a couple of gaming books cover to cover that were just plain...evocative. None of the core D&D books though.
