HtV = Hunter: the Vigil. No idea what Hunter book if it isn't in the main, thew NWoD makes me break out in hives by and large.

Dragonborn just replaced the Dray from Dark Sun. Also, Dark Sun had no Divine classes. There was a sidebar reminding you the DM was allowed to overrule that and do what they wanted w/their game, which is why our Dark Sun game had a Cleric and Paladin of Pelor, as well as later a Monk who had...

I haven't paid attention to Deadwood and the like, but I had been seeing Settlers there for awhile. Just saw Munchkin in one for the first time a few days ago, along w/the Nerf Rayven gun, which isn't supposed to be out until 3/3/12, but it's showing up some places already. Weird

I never had any problem building any Marvel characters or some of the more popular DC characters using Aberrant. All that was required was figuring out the right nova point levels. I think I basically built Spider Man and got to throw in a Combat Teleport pretty easily once. If you replace...

As usual, I'll be the lone person to mention Aberrant. :) The main problems I had with Aberrant were as follow: 1) Taint generation during character gen was way too easy to generate 2) Offense quickly outstrips defense (Super Strength and Quantum Blast being the biggest offenders) so that you...

Well they apparently worked something out, b/c PJ has said the White Council is involved and that certainly appears to be Gandalf sneaking around in Sauron's Mirkwood fortress. They don't have the rights to make a film of say, Unfinished Tales, but getting the story where Gandalf and Thorin met...

I had to wonder WTF Krampus was. Google to my rescue. I'm 35 and I'd never heard of it before

blargh. I hit the wrong button and lost a massive response. That sucks. Anyway, my characters are rarely the kind who would have immediately taken action against his character. The occasional one yeah, but the last time a zombie sort of game came up, one of the characters I considered was a...

Actually I went back thru his posts and he said he would be talking to the GM again on Saturday and his OP had questioned if he would return, but he never said outright he was not going to return to that game. Altho if RR and Azryl were Kermit and Piggy, then we won't be hearing from him for...

Never said it was morally or ethically right, just that from a survival perspective, it worked. He's alive, zombies didn't eat him. For the record, my wife and I do a lot of yelling at the TV too. She read the entire comic series recently, but her biggest complaint is the kid playing Carl...

If you don't see any other way out and decide it becomes someone else or you, it could be a choice you make. In that moment things sound like they seemed to be one of 2 options in the character's mind, staying stuck in there and the zombies get them or throw them some bait to distract them...

Except that there ARE people in the show who act like this. Some of them are now dead, some are still with the group, but it's well within even the very specific TWD genre. At that point it was looking like series of bad decisions leads to everyone being trapped. Would you have trusted the...

No he took action against a NPC and saved the party. I think he did the right thing. The party's decisions were weighing them down w/a bunch of useless mouths to feed and people who lose their weapons and get eaten. Theyw ere trapped and needed to survive. If there's a zombie apocalypse...

Because everything that comes your way is not a sword, arrow or fist. Some things are spells. Why would a spell be stopped by leather, hide or plate mail? You have other aspects of your character that help defend you against those non-physical things. Before anyone brings up something like...

Of course some might say they drove their original product into the ground after painting themselves into a corner, replaced it with a far inferior product and are now trying to return to the original b/c that was what sold better for them. Seriously, use the rules themselves from the Revised...

Before this 2nd giant reply gets started, it looks like some of my points I made in my initial post have already been addressed, so ignore anything that no longer applies :) Oh yeah, warning, ultra massive post, but I'm all caught up now at least heh. I like starting the bonuses earlier like...

Reasonably standard I always hated the level and class limits in older editions. I think racial bonuses do a good enough job of siloing people toward certain classes as it goes. Obviously if you are trying for that BECMI/AD&D feel, limit away. Just not my preference. Many otehr games use...

I recognize my deficiencies when it comes to running a game, so I don't do it :) I do an excellent job of playing quirky characters for my DM to riff off of and I usually make sure to understand a system very thoroughly and end up a reference point for the other players and DM. I used to help...

See I don't consider just calling them dead fudging, I view that as giving in to inevitability. If the monster has a good last trick to pull and he's going next I'd say keep him up, but I'm a big fan of calling the fight when it's reached an inevitable conclusion. Personally, I don't want...

I love 4E and don't want a return to 3.x. That would lose me as a customer right off. I'm not a fan of Essentials (altho some of the powers in the essentials books are pretty great) for the super simplified way of running things. I like having options and having so much stuff reduced to "Oh I...
