    (HackMaster) I'm looking for folks who've never played HackMaster before

    There should be. I haven't seen a schedule for the event, but GaryCon is practically the home convention of Kenzer & Company and I expect you'll see a lot of cool events for the game.

    (HackMaster) I'm looking for folks who've never played HackMaster before

    BUMP - just wanted to mention that the QSG is about ready as a pre-release. I'm going to EMail a preliminary copy to folks later today via YouSendIt. All feedback is appreciated. (And if you haven't contacted me previously, but want to get involved in this, I will send a copy to you as well)

    Miniature Combat - What RPGs Use it

    HackMaster's new edition is run more smoothly with minis. It's not a requirement, but I feel that it helps - especially since movement and proximity to enemies plays a huge part on how stuff works.

    Reviews you can trust?

    TBH I mistrust 1 or 2 star ratings more than I mistrust glowing 5 star ratings because sometimes people have an axe to grind. Actually I think the best way to look at a review is to read the content, not glance at the rating. If a person gives a detailed explanation as to why they love a book...

    Christmas 2011 RPG Holiday Sales?

    KenzerCo has a pretty insane sale. Pretty much everything on their site is 50%, including Hacklopedia of Beasts pdf (now for $20 only for today) and the hard cover ($30 for today). I know folks have been curious about the book but the cost point has been too high... do yourselves a favor and...

    The best adventure...

    Would that I could, but the adventure is for publication so I'm choosing to be coy. Unless it needs major edits, you might see it for HackMaster sometime next summer... :)

    (HackMaster) I'm looking for folks who've never played HackMaster before

    To everybody who sent me PMs about this, I want to say thanks very much. I am working on 2 projects that have pending deadlines, but I'm hoping to be done with both of them within the next week or two. Once they are done, I'll be putting this together... it's written, it just needs to be...

    Suggestions for on-line rpg tools

    I am also big on MapTools ... it is a very, very useful program. Actually I'm a bit spoiled... a guy on the Kenzer forums has written an outstanding Macro for HackMaster and Aces & Eights. However, I know some folks are less interested in the macro and would rather have web cams and that sort...

    The best adventure...

    I try to write adventures that are sandboxes, but a sandbox has to have a lot of stuff to play with. There are epic ambushes, great combat opportunities, but also a lot of intrigue and mystery in the adventure I'm writing/running right now. I had a really great moment in my last session -...

    Adventure design...

    I personally have both Toolboxes, some of the Legends & Lore books (particularly the Traps & Treachery books), and all of Gary's Builder books from TLG. However I find that I have to remind myself to look at them. Mostly the resource I rely on the most is the inspiration I get from other...

    (HackMaster) I'm looking for folks who've never played HackMaster before

    You may, but at this point it's already written. Personal feedback is more important than seeing how other folks did it.

    (HackMaster) I'm looking for folks who've never played HackMaster before

    Hopefully this isn't going to get moved to elsewhere on the forum... I'm working on a project for HackMaster. I'm basically writing an all-encompassing set of QuickStart Rules that would, in theory, allow you to test out the game without having to buy a single product. You'd be able to...

    When mine arrives, I'll be taking pictures of it next to other gaming books to provide some context for how awesome it looks. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) cancelled 5e announcement at Gencon??? Anyone know anything about this?

    5E exists and it has a name - Advanced HackMaster. This should be the game of the future. :)

    The official "Who will be at Gen Con?" thread.

    Not that any of you folks really know me, but I'll be there. Hoping to win an ENnie!

    AHM Hacklopedia of Beasts pictures

    Bump for the new beast release - the Devil. One thing I'm not sure if you folks have noticed is that there's "explorer text" in every entry - i.e., a first-hand account of an encounter with the monster in question. The cleric explorer, Helena Vitira, is one of my favorites and she gives the...

    AHM Hacklopedia of Beasts pictures

    It was free with purchase of the print book until very recently. If you buy both print and pdf in a bundle, then the pdf only costs $20. When the PHB hits, the pdf will probably be free with purchase of the book, for probably six months or longer, incidentally. Lastly - I'm sure that their...

    And they really take good feedback and apply it. They responded positively toward a lot of the feedback I sent them for the HoB. I'm anxious to provide even more help on the PHB...
