Personally, I'd be all about the toying with them. I mean, they're bound to start attracting notice from someone, right? You can have those aforementioned pirate lords using the body as backstabbery tools. And you can have blackmail, and annoying heroes trying to stop them, and annoying...

Thanks for the advice. I'm hoping it worked. Me: "I was wondering if you could order a copy of Grim Tales for me?" Clerk (Just now notices that a customer's entered the store): "Uh... sure. Grim Tales? Who makes that?" Me: "Bad Axe Games" Clerk (writes down "Bad Tales Games"): "Sure, I'll get...

I draw inspiration from other things. Typically, I see something and go "Hey, that's cool. Can I make it into a game?" For example, my current game started with the iday of playing something based off of the Legend of Zelda, but with a few stipulations. See, it appears that Gannon keeps getting...

Grim Tales. No place down here carries it, and I don't have a credit card, which makes online orders impossible. So, truthfully, that prettymuch cuts me out of the entire online market, and down to what I can scrounge in bookstores.

Well, seeing as my only expierence with M&M is a non-houseruled (at least no intentional ones) first printing test run game with no eratta, I may not be the best person to talk. Howerver, I'm still going to throw in my two cents. For the most part, I think the second push really just cut...

Dump stat? Thanks, but I prefer to not have anything low if I can help it (unless it's a dictate of the character I've created). The ghought of being bad at something from the get go just seems painful. Though my most 'not a dump stat' is wisdom, simply because I tend to notice what other people...

Well then, my condolences. In your place, I'd sure be annoyed too.

My biggest wish this far is for someone besides the group that did Morrowind to do the game. The last I read, while there were no promises, they were planning to "captialize on their exsisting assets, tools and skills to make the best gameplay possible." AKA, make something similar to what...

So, did you politely mention it to anyone when they did it?

Honestly, I don't have much of a problem with the situation you're describing, but that could be because that's the exact sort of feel I want in my game. One on one, with only a one round distance, I would like the melee character to win. Especially with stats that high. Trying to keep both...

First off, the gorgon thing rocks. Especially the green smoke. In my particular game, one character stole a lot of supplies from the character who was supposed to be the party's mentor (a supernatural blacksmith). Then, after finding out what was going on, he attempted to murder one of a group...

Might be a bad place to ask this, but I didn't want to make a new topic. Has anyone tried using Grim Tales on top of an existing D20 Modern game? I've got a game that's just starting, and I don't want to hit people with too many rules changes, but I'd like a consistant way to handle a lot of the...

Very similarly. A little more.... expieremental with imagry (or color at the least), and it's told in more of an interesting style. However, it felt less concrete in setting.

Sounds like an accurate description of my (ex) D&D group. And there was a funny moment in my exalted session yesteday (soon to be played alternatingly with a D20 modern game). Our resident ninja jumped backwards down a hallway, snatching up an opponent's spear and using it as a projectile...

Sick of poles? Naaah. Just as long as they're not too random it's all ok. :p

You could always have it take place in one section of space somewhere, and have that area set up with a slavery setup. Keeping it relatively small make sit a lot easier to work against intitially and easier to plan for. And, if you like it, 'finish' the first portion and want to extend it out...

I'm not exactly prolific in my purchasing, but Urban Arcana strikes me as the blandest book I own. Except Incantations. Those rock... except the descriptions. I still havn't read through the entire chapter, and I keep trying! I dislike the presentation of a great many of the advanced and...

I can't really say this is a suggestion, but a similar question came up with my gaming circle. "Do we always have to play fantasy?" So, aside from the main game, we've gotten one session of spycraft in, which was highly enjoyable. We're going to try a 3-4 shot of a D20 Modern game, and then...

WhenI get in a funk, listening to music helps me out. There's usually a song or two that gets associated with the feel of a good game that always perks me up. So, here's a question for you. Why are you dreading running sessions. The best solution is to find what's going wrong and make it less...

Typically, I find I can do most things well enough with the base classes and a little tweaking. However, I find that level tends to be the biggest limiting factor. Usually, to get the feel right, and the right ratio of abilities, it takes a lot more levels then I'm really comfortable with for...
