    Coming to a MM near you- FLAVOR!

    I didn't speak for it, I was fine with it as is heh.

    Minor changes to make the rules simulate Super Heroes (now with 50% more Thor!)

    "Everyone flies" sounds more Crouching Tiger to me heh. If you're doing some real amping of the number of minions and you want to have the heroes really clearing huge masses away at once, give everyone's attacks a Burst 1. So Thor swings Mjolnir at the Ogre and it hits all the orcs surrounding...

    RPG Superstar - Are you watching?

    Do we get video footage of Clark being a cock as he disparages the ones who don't make the cut? Cuz I think that is the only reason AI gets watched heh. Hard to picture Clark slotting into that role from what I've heard about him tho. Seems more positive than that.

    Help! I need a rules-lite super hero RPG

    Not a currently produced game, but I always found Aberrant (the original Storyteller version, not the d20 revamp*) to be a very simple game. Granted, I already had several years of experience w/the underlying system, but it would be simple to divorce Aberrant from the setting and just use the...

    So what's the most powerful combo in Rifts?

    Shh quiet! If Kevin hears people talking of converting his system to anything else he has a conniption

    So what's the most powerful combo in Rifts?

    3.x has a definite power creep to it, which is exactly what RIFTS has always been. There was a certain power range in the core rules and most every book after expanded on that.

    So what's the most powerful combo in Rifts?

    This was a play on vampires not being able to cross water. In teh world of RIFTS, it now means you can deal real damage to them. The Techno-Wizard guns were, of course, the best ones. I think normal water guns worked too tho. The GM should have told you up front if it was a high or low...

    Dark Sun - Player's Guide rendered obsolete

    Well DS got ruined slowly by each successive product they released after the original box set. Up until the Revised boxed set I was with them, then I was like WTH!? The only change to Eberron originally (timewise) was going to be a 2 year advancement, but there was a large outcry. I don't see...

    Re-balancing wizard at-wills

    I believe the no conjuration was a very intentional thing and we see summoners show up in Primal Power. I agree Stone to Mud is useful from time ot time, but again, it suffers from highly situational and not being something directly associable with combat. Stone to Acid on the other hand....

    Are the Retro Clones doing well?

    They're removing the Divine power source for one. Rich Baker has been posting bits of info along the way in his blog and you can find threads complaining/praising every nugget of news here in the forums heh. A wise move on their part. People know they own their own printing machines and...

    The Next Innovation in Gaming

    I'm thinking less a matter of needing to buy these and instead the benefits of having them enhance what you already have. I know several friends who have iPhones (and a few who even produce their own apps) and they would likely make use of some of the D&D apps if they were gamers. When the...

    The Next Innovation in Gaming

    Sitting around the room you all have a tablet in your lap which has your character sheet and powers and such. The DM has the battle area drawn up and your tokens are all showing locations and such, as well as condition trackers. Dice rollers on the tablets can handle the rolls or you can roll...

    Are the Retro Clones doing well?

    Remove the Divine power source and/or cut the number and effectiveness of healing surges in half. I'm curious how Ken Hood would go about converting his Revised Grim n Gritty rules for 3.5 to 4E.

    A vision of a D&D retro-clone with new school elements

    Yeah in our gaming group when we played 2E we would always say things like "OK. Make characters with 5th level Wizard XP.". Wizards were the most expensive to level and set a good base to things. On some levels I might be able to be ok with a version of 2E that did a few things: removed...

    Are the Retro Clones doing well?

    This may be true with Hackmaster Basic, but here is a bit about Hackmaster 4th Edition from the Kenzer website: "Quite simply, HackMaster 4th edition is a fantasy role-playing game with an edge, that was licensed from the hallowed Advanced Dungeons & Dragons core rules. And even though we...

    Falling off the 4ed bandwagon

    See except for the speed and flexibility requirement, you can accomplish all that playing RIFTS heh. I hesitate to recommend the Palladium system to anyone tho. I love the world story, but ye gods is the system awful

    Are the Retro Clones doing well?

    I didn't know if there were, but if someone did a clone of 2E I would consider it a retro-clone.
