Occult Items of Power by Fast Forward entertainment. It's a train wreck. 1. 127 pages long (slim volume) cost? $24.95 For 19 cents a page, i would hope for something decent, right? ... right? The entirety of the books crunchy contents fit on 8 pages. EIGHT pages of actual original...

Yeah, RPG's down. Not to offend anyone, but, it's why i'm back here :)

Sadly, the BBS' posts of "the text time" are mostly lost to us. Much like usenet, they are foerign to modern web surfers... just as some day, ENWorld.org, and rpg.net will be forgotten cycles in the void of history.

Well, not EVERY game with combat, just every game with realistic combat. For instance, Feng Shui, most combat-focused RPG I can think of, strictly orders in the book "The Map is not your friend". Instead, you get Set pieces. The GM is supposed to tell players "there's Items X, Y, and Z at...

Basically, Rifts was GURPS without forethought. The game wanted to be all genres to all players, as a result, you have things like Glitterboy pilots (who came with their Giant robots that had Anti-spacecraft rail guns) in the same starting position as Vagabonds (who barely started with clothes...

I think I know why it has spikes! Thauma Sharks The thing is a huge Thaumavore, it can detect and consume the ebb and flow of magical energy. The Thauma Sharks are airborn predators whose sole purpose is to find magic, and consume it in order to hold together the weave of spells that powers them.

Now, I would not argue that WoD encourages Roleplay, so much as it discourages combat! Please pause, and consider the structure of power in the White Wolf games. Starting characters posses a cheerleader's chance in a slasher film of surviving ANY kind of combat which is even marginally...

The cyclopean giant in one Greek epic kept a huge flock of sheep. I could see other giants with similar bestiaries.

It looks priceless... Incedentally, i HAVE to buy the Cthulhu mini, just to keep my collection of all things tentacled and horrible complete :)

I'm currently Playing with a Belkar. prime difference: he's a n00b sorcerer, I'm a old-hand role player Knight. I have d12 hit dice, he has d4. He doesn't seem to understand the concept of "self preservation". His first character was a wizard who attacked me on introduction because he didn't...

The Comic strip "Adventurers" Panel 1: Wizard: "Okay, the Ice Cave's boss is in the next room, quick equipment check, I have the FIRE staff." Panel 2: Thief: "I Have the FLAME daggers" Panel 3: Fighter: "I've got the sword of BURNING". Panel 4: Massive red dragon: "Hi! I'm the Fire dragon of...

I had a list of six possible game settings / ideas drawn up, printed out four copies, and I approached my players with them. At the bottom of the page were four blank (numbered) lines. I told my players "This is a list of the things I feel like running in D&D. if you don't see something that...

Hm... they could go about hiring a true oracle to look into the past (or future, to see what the child looks like) Hackmaster has objects that can tell this sort of thing (but i suspect you're disinclined to allow to involving items from a game that involved thirteen kinds of fireballs.)

The thing is, certain aspects of being a dragon and a lich overlap (like spells, etc.) Think of it this way: a lich of this CR would posses more magical might. A dragon of this CR would posses higher physical combat abilities. The combat presents a series of mutual trade offs.

I scared my party witless with a single choker. They were level 3, it was a CR 2 encounter, fair game right? The thing was, there was no dedicated healer in the party. We had a dragon shaman: which means: "fast healing 1" within 20 feet (but only to half hit points) and the party had taken...

Frankly, I believe there are three kinds of railroading DM's. 1. GM's who are bad at railroading. Point A to Point B. No, nothing happens in between. No, you don't need to stop and eat. keep moving. Shut up. no, you can't take a cohort. I don't care if you do have leadership. Gods. move on...

He's a freaking Cleric! and an undead! It's part of the BBEG package! also, what kind of pansies complain about a 21 AC? it just means you get to loot his plate mail when the encounter is over! Though, running clerics is always a bit messy. The first time my party encountered a cleric (that...

I once played a rogue whose High stat was 13. Nothing below a 7, but his high stat was 13 dexterity. He persevered, barely eking out existence among a party of far more powerful characters.. It didn't help that the DM was applying "mutations" to every pc and min sucked. "Electrical Body, you...

It's intelligent, right? Was the mother a gold dragon, or the father?
