Aside- Which Dragon mag has the Dreadhold info in it?

I'm currently running a game. The setting is pretty light; the book is mostly new classes and rules. I like the setting a lot, myself, but I'm starting to run out of things to do in it. I think it would be better for a mini-campaign, really. For long term, you might want to consider running...

I would say Falstaff from Shakespeare would be CN. He's a fun-loving, cowardly, treacherous lout, and he doesn't care who knows it. He's quite upfront about it, in fact. On that note, I would say that a character's perceptions of how he relates to society make him lawful or chaotic more than...

I've been thinking of getting an MP3 player lately, and since iPod isn't my thing I'm looking at other lines. I was intrigued by the Neuros line (www.neurosaudio.com) due to some unusual features and the fact that it's open source. But I wanted to check it out some more before taking the plunge...

There can be any number of suggestions about how to run a game. However, I think the main thing is to isolate the problems you had yesterday. What do you think went wrong? Why were people bored?

LJ (which is what I use) has a downloadable client, which presumably would upload the posts from a saved file that you create. I haven't used the client, myself. If you're getting logged out after a certain amount of time, it's not the site, as I stay logged in all the time. IME workplace...

I'd be interested, but it depends on what time zone you're playing in. Also, how will new characters be coming in to the game? As more castaways?

You're probably right... At least they got a repairman down here to turn the vent off (thought not fix it, of course). The noise wasn't really the problem, more the fact that it just turned itself on and off every ninety seconds or so. It was infrequent enough that I couldn't just tune it out...

I'm as shocked as you are. :] Now, we only have to wait on Delta Green... As for humanity loss, it's true that it and cyberpsychosis are both gone. However, I've seen reference to there being some sort of drawbacks in the game, flaws or whatever Fuzion uses. I don't know how closely connected...

I remember seeing a website a while back that had a very simple game which was basically swapping around little business-sized cards. The cards had the rules of the game on them, which essentially were "find someone who isn't playing the game and hand them this card". Basically it was just a...

I saw where it was intentionally, I was just stating that a lot of people were complaining about it. "Unincluded" probably would have have been a better term than "missing." It seems like the intention is for this PDF to be a limited-time, rough draft sale for those interested in a preview...

Yeah, on the boards I'm seeing a lot of complaints about missing pages, typos, hyperlinks which don't work, layout problems, and the dreaded "Page XX". It's too bad, really. You'd think a game set in a highly-computerized future would be able to take advantage of existing technology. :\ Oh...

Interestingly enough, from what I've seen on the Talsorian bbs people still think the game is too deadly. So that hasn't changed much. Personally, I always liked the deadliness of the combat myself, at least from a setting genre standpoint. Theoretically, it was supposed to make PCs think before...

I noticed on Drivethru RPG that the newest edition has been released as a PDF: http://www.drivethrurpg.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=3209 From what review I saw, reactions seem to be mixed. There were two positive reviews, and two negative ones. The only common thread they all had...

I wouldn't refuse to play in a game which had them, but I wouldn't use them in a game I'm DMing (and I DM most of the time). We never used them in 2e and I felt that leaving them out of 3e was a pretty natural step to make, since as far as I could tell most people ignored them.

This is basically how I see things. Comparing TRPGs to MMORPGs is pretty much pointless. And not just because each differs in play style. I think there's no question that video games are mainstream, while TRPGs are a niche hobby. The mainstream product is always going to win out in the numbers...

Sounds like something I've been wanting to work into a game, actually. Thanks for the info, I'll definately have to check this out!

Sounds cool. Are Destinies intended to prevent the character's Fate, or are they something that's brought out at the end of the campaign once the Fate has been achieved?

What is the Fate and Destiny system? Is it like Conan Fate points, or something specifically dealing with magic?

If you're wanting roleplaying and intrigue, Splinter Peace is definately worth checking out. It's one of my favorite modules of recent years. While there's a few side excursions (against the orcs, for example), most of the module involves figuring out which individuals in the city are taking...
