I have yet to encounter something from superhero comics that could not be simulated with this system. Character creation can be as complex as you want or as simple is you want. Combat is faster-paced than any d20-based system there is. It is also compatible with any other d20 based game with...

Oh, I wasn't agreeing with Chaosium's view that dual-statting decreases sales-- quite the opposite. I think Delta Green will sell through its print run, which is why there is so much talk about who should be able to get their hands on a copy. Chaosium chose a couple of their more lackluster...

The thing is, I think the original idea with a lot of this stuff, like the original Monster Manual and Deities and Demigods (with the Cthulhu gods in it) was to only use the things that fit the milleu of your game. I don't think the authors of the old Deities & Demigods intended to have clerics...

Wendol, I especially like, and there is the Grendel connection. You've all seen The 13th Warrior, which is an adaptation of Beowulf, right? Huldren is also recognize, and Jotnar. Are the others all from similar sources?

Which, if you ask Chaosium, means it won't sell.

I've been to lot of game stores, and as I mentioned I worked at one for a year, and so I am guessing it was porbably the former, actually. And yes, the OP could be thin-skinned-- in fact, game store customers are more likely to be thin-skinned, to my experience. Which is all the more reason to...

Nah, Chaosium will buy it. Those guys are drowning in cash.

Especially Darkness & Dread, which is almost a complete new OGL RPG in and of itself. Brilliant examination of horror in fantasy with lost of useful crunch. Hopefully, Mike Mearls's new gig at WotC, which seems to be more directly writing rules, will allow him to start doing the same quality of...

Oops! I just bumped on old thread on this same topic, before I saw this one. Oh well... there are some interested posts on this topic there anyway. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=179179. I haven't moved a miniature on a map since 2003. Except during a couple Star Wars game sessions and...

How about an old one? http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=179179

A discussion just like this is threatening to hijack another thread, so I am bumping this one. I wish there were some way to merge those other posts into this thread. The minis debate still rages on.

In case y'all missed it in the other thread... a review of the new Delta Green. http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/12/12937.phtml Hopefully someone here will review it soon too. Just to have multiple opinions.

I don't like the new setting books as much, but the new main book for World of Darkness is both inexpensive ($20 for one beautifully printed hardcover core rulebook) and a vast, vast improvement on the old system. Perfectly correct. Spirit of the Century is designed as a "pick-up game"--...

I think this illustrates why the Dragonlance license issue is more complex. While WotC can probably use Ravenloft to make more money than White Wolf can with the property, the bestselling Dragonlance products are not games (which they license) but novels. And the most profitable novels have...

Yeah, it is great having a good FLGS to visit. I'm only a few blocks from Endgame in Oakland now, and it is head and shoulders above any other gaming store I've ever been to (and I even helped run one). Employees are super-knowledgable, utterly polite, wear uniforms so you know they're on duty...

Actually, it works fine. All you need are the CoC sanity rules, which are available for free here: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/campaigns/sanity.htm since WotC released them as Open Game Content. Add those to d20 Modern and you basically have CoC d20. (Spells are a little different, but...

Actually, Chaosium just licenses CoC to the guys who do Delta Green. Chaosium wouldn't be doing d20 stats in anything; they worked very hard to drop the d20 ball on purpose, as part of their vow of poverty.

Well, you may find it self-absorbed, but the fact is when a person is rude to me (stranger or otherwise), it creates the impression that they do not like me. I am less likely to return to a place where I think someone dislikes me. I do not wish to encounter that again. People talk about hiring...

Well, you really can't fault somebody for coming up with a clever RPG that requires creativity and imagination, can you? I've been on a "story games" kick lately-- Agon, Carry, Mortal Coil, and the ultrapopular Dogs in the Vineyard have been run at my wonderful FLGS-- and Dread is now on my...

Preach on, brother. After the initial announcement, the speculation seemed warranted, and I was in on it, but now this is starting to look more like David Icke's forum than an RPG board.
