Re: I've always been cheap I still haven't done that yet. I'm just more selective, mainly buying crunch-lite sourcebooks that are fun reads.

No suprise given you've had several generations of being ground into the dirt :D I've always loved it..and never had any interesting in the local ball sports..AFL, Rugby, League, Soccer..well I did play soccer a little when I was younger. Haven't played much cricket lately though. Aside from...

Yep. I'm willing to admit I'm pretty price sensitive normally. Aside from a few lines, I'm very particular about what I buy these days. And its always related to price. I remember in ye olde dayes where our group used to buy pretty much anything that turned up. Whenever a new system would come...

Apparently it was the first of a series. Dunno which other issues were in the series though. #262 also has an excellent article by Roger Moore detailing Elmshire.

Yeah. For years I've been saying Australia should just use a rotating roster of State sides for international cricket rather than a national side. That might make international cricket a bit fairer.

Um...it's kind of like baseball. Cricket is a team sport for two teams of eleven players each. A formal game of cricket can last anything from an afternoon to several days. Although the game play and rules are very different, the basic concept of cricket is similar to that of baseball. Teams...

Some gods were detailed in some of the last pre-3e issues of Dragon IIRC. EDIT: Yep. #263. Atroa, Delleb and Kurell are detailed.

I really liked it, and I got the paper version. Never actually got involved in the Brotherhood directly in any games I've played though. Nice to see some detail to the Amedio Jungle. The Slavers sourcebook is pretty good also I thought...well, aside from what they did with Turrosh Mak perhaps...

Yeah. I shuddered when I saw it. Its especially sad it happened on day 1 of the series. Not that it would've been much better if it happened on the final day of the series. *ahh...finally a sport related thread I can get my teeth into.

Hehe. Yeah. Still, it was a sad day not to see Mark Waugh in the team...

Lets just hope we get more than 3-day Test Matches...

Exactly. Myself, my fave system has been Rolemaster for many years. But in the leadup to 3e, being a long-term fan of AD&D and with the links to Rolemaster via Monte Cook I was a regular visitor to ENWorld...I even bought the 3e core 3e books (and I'm only just starting my first regular 3e...

Although it's unfortunate its Dark Horse. Not much chance of seeing say Barry Windsor-Smith working on it.

How's this for coolness... Taken from Newsarama.com: "Dark Horse Comics President Mike Richardson announced today a new publishing program featuring the classic Robert E. Howard creation Conan the Barbarian. DHC’s new monthly ongoing series will include all new stories based on the character...

Taken from comics2film.com: Screenwriter Doug Petrie recently spilled several beans on the Fantastic Four movie to MTV's Movie House correspondent Ryan J. Downey. Petrie's comments are surprisingly revealing and a SPOILER WARNING should be considered to be in effect for the remainder of this...

For this there is Weathermaster . I havent used it personally, but it was brought up in a discussion on the Shadow World (a Rolemaster setting) list. Here's one posting to give a feel for the program: "Wrom: AFXISHJEXXIMQZUIV [mailto:shadow_world@s...]On Behalf Of bcd@p... Sent: Saturday...

I would've though that worlds with psionics only was generally reserved for sci-fi style games rather than fantasy games. Settings like Trek, Babylon 5 and Star Wars to pick a few tv-film examples.

How much value for money would a person who has the 2e God books get out of F&P? How good are the prestige classes therein?

Speaking of Rangers, I had a quick look over the Wheel of Time Woodsman which looks OK as a Ranger. What is the deal with Def Bonuses though? does WOT handle armour differently?

It really depends on the genre...thats why I can quite happily say that whilst I love detail oriented systems like Rolemaster and Spacemaster, with Supers games I really prefer rules light games (a rules heavy game for this genre would really rub me the wrong way...its one of the reasons I've...
