    Dune: has anyone done it?

    I always felt that Battletech was more or less a direct rip-off of Dune. You had the great houses, Comstar was the only source for interstellar communications (replacing the Spacing Guild), and all of this took place after a so called golden age for humanity.

    Mutants & Masterminds 2e: What PL is Heroes?

    After watching the last episode of Heroes I got to thinking... in order to create characters of similar power to Heroes what Power Level would you use to create the characters. Obviously there are huge differences between the characters... at the end of the first season Sylar and Peter leave...

    Night Watch -- What system?

    I TOTALLY disagree. The only book that you NEED with WoD 2e is the core book. Vampire, Mage, and Werewolf are all optional. I'm personally planning on using WoD 2e to run my own game based on the "Supernatural" TV series and am fully prepared to come up with my own monsters to keep my players...

    Good suggestion for a miniature of Tiamat?

    Buy several "Colossal Red Dragon" minis, cut the head and necks off of all but one of them and glue, nail, or otherwise afix the necks to the body of the last one and paint them all different colors. That would probably be the best way to do it and still stay somewhat true to her size...

    Good suggestion for a miniature of Tiamat?

    Hmmmm... have you seen just how large the Colossal Red Dragon "miniature" is? You've got to figure that she is at least as big as that. Maybe use something the size of a VW Beetle or a Dodge Neon to represent her. :D Sorry, I couldn't resist. Personally I wouldn't even bother putting a...

    How many of you came close to selling off your stuff?

    Extremely close... I couldn't find/form a new group to save my life. As luck would have it just before I sold everything on E-Bay I was contacted by a few people and we are having our first game tonight.

    Could you play in a fantasy world without clerics

    Midnight. Yeah there are "Clerics" but they all serve the enemy. There are generally no PC clerics unless you are running an evil campaign.

    Midnight Essentials

    OUCH!!! Be prepared for some work. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Midnight but I just decided against running a Midnight campaign for a couple reasons. 1) Rules Changes: Unless each member of your group is willing to shell out $50 to go pick up a copy of the campaign setting the task will be laid...

    What third-party d20 settings should I investigate?

    Midnight is great... probably my absolute favorite. The only snag I ran into recently was that it is SO different from core D&D that several people in the group need to have copies of the campaign setting book just to make character creation somewhat more effiicient. The alternative is taking...

    Complete series, where next?

    I'd like to see the "Complete Warlock" with some alignment variant versions of Warlocks and a crapload of new Invocations.

    Complete Scoundrel gives alignments for Batman, James Bond, Riddick, and more...

    Always did like the Palladium FRPG Alignment system better. :]

    Have you grown dependent on Challenge Ratings?

    I was briefing considering putting together a one-shot game of 1e or 2e AD&D for my gaming group when I came to the frightening conclusion that I've become dependent on a monster's CR for balancing an encounter against a party. Exactly how did we do it back in the old days? You really couldn't...

    Complete Scoundrel gives alignments for Batman, James Bond, Riddick, and more...

    Gotta disagree with the Han Solo alignment pick. Han was always Good... he just tried not to show it. If I remember my Star Wars history correctly, Han was starting a career as a brilliant imperial pilot when he freed Chewbacca from becoming a slave and thus became an outlaw. Putting the...

    Midnight: Crown of Shadow... Larry, et al. keep out! ;)

    I personally wasn't crazy about CoS. A bit too "railroady" for my tastes. Head over to www.againsttheshadow.org if you want some good feedback on running a Midnight campaign.

    [Jan] What are you playing?

    Still playing Warhammer 40K Dark Crusade but I picked up Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion over the holidays. However, I picked up Company of Heroes this weekend and I don't think 40K or Oblivion are going to see much play for a VERY long time. :)

    Mats

    I checked Tact-Tiles this weekend and they are having problems with one of their suppliers so no Tact-Tiles for a while until they get that issue settled. :( Not quite related you might check out World Works Games. You can buy PDFs from them, print them out on cardstock, and then build your...

    What's the lamest monster you've seen made cool, and how?

    I'd say that most people who played the 2E AD&D Boxed Module "Dragon Mountain" probably remember how "cool" kobolds could be when used properly. :]

    [Dec] What are you playing?

    I've been playing Dawn of War: Dark Crusade but I downloaded a demo of Company of Heroes last night and was hooked. I'll be dropping by EBGames today on the way home from work.

    Neverwinter Nights 2!!!

    I got NWN2 as a gift for Christmas but my poor 2Ghz P4 machine isn't up to specs based solely on the processor. I'm looking at getting a new machine in the coming year but I am torn between getting a 3+ Ghz Pentium 4 processor or going with a 2.4 Ghz Dual Core. If NWN2 wasn't coded to take...
