Because, as simple as BRP is, it isn't necessarily a great system for character development and long-term play. Don't get me wrong - I love BRP Cthulhu. When I run short-term campaigns and one-offs I use BRP Cthulhu to the exclusion of all else. When I want to run something that involves...

This is true, but to quote Eric Noah from a thread in general The list I put up is what worked for me and gave the right kind of tone for the campaign I wanted to run. There are a bunch of different d20 variants that could do the same, but the feel between them is slightly different. D20...

Falchion, as there's nothing quite like introducing every power-attack with the phrase "Hassan Chop!" The 3.5 change in power-attack just made the wide crit range even more attractive.

I lived on the edge of the Gold Coast indy for about six years, and I've been asked that question by far to many drunk guys looking to pick a fight. Yech, thanks for the memories. If that debate breaks out here, my pedestrian self is leaving :)

In order d20 Modern. This'll give you the baseline rules for running a modern game, and includes a couple of sample campaign backgrounds. An alternate option would be Call of Cthulhy d20, which includes probably the best advice I've ever seen for writing modern horror/conspiracy scenarios...

Because they aren't necessarily trying to sell the system to other designers, they're trying to sell it to fans fo the Black Company books who are also gamers. Again we get back to the idea that the OGC only really matters to a very small portion of the market. Combine with the arguements...

Sweet idea. I love the idea of magic item traders (as should be obvious by clockwork golems Magic Merchants line of products). I think the important aspect of such a market would be enforcing it as neutral ground - good and evil creatures are equally welcome there and are free to trade side by...

The original Deadlands system is good, but playing it by PbP will mostly serve to eliminate the stuff that makes it truly cool - it's designed to give you the feel of being a bunch of folks sitting around a table playing poker in a saloon, and that just isn't going to carry over into a pbp...

I was introduced to DnD by the children of my parent's friends when I was about six, so it's been a part of my life for the last twenty-odd years. While they've never really wanted to play and my dad still doesn't understand the concepts terribly well, my mother did a study of my gaming group...

ENpub's Four Color to Fantasy is a good toolkit product for what you're looking at. It's less strait supers, more looking at how to introduce super-heroes to any d20 setting.

The thing I hate about MnM is not necessarily being able to find enough comic geeks to run the kind of referential, tongue in cheek references I want to be able to make in game. It's hard doing four-color super-heroics with people whose only reference point for supers are the spider-man and...

When did you submit? Their response times are all over the place, particualrly with the change in editorial teams a few months back, so some stuff got lost in the mix. I had a bunch of replies just before that happened, but I'm still waiting on stuff I submitted before then (and that's around...

d12. I was hoping for d30

Dealines really work. 500 words per day, every day, and you have three or four pages of campaign notes written every week.

Preach On, Brother CalrZog.

The easy answer would be to make one of the archmagi not-what-they-appear. This is, traditionally, the kind of plot that calls for a doppleganger buy you could get around it by using one of the other shapeshifting races, a psion using mindseed (should you use or want to introduce psionics), or...

Check the ENpub forum, EN World Gamer has been cancelled.

Tell me about it. You make one innocent comment to the director about a possible addition to the show, and suddenly you have the prop department jumping down your throat about the cost of running those little machines. You've never seen someone get so angry about having to stock a few extra...
