GMed... Two incarnations of my 'big' homebrew (both very divergent from, say FR, GH, or DL) Two 'just made stuff up on the fly' homebrews (fairly generic D&D) Played... Three FR campaigns Would like to play... Kalamar Something with lots of airships and flint-lock pistols and...

A Song Of Ice And Fire, a series by George Martin, the first book of which is called A Game of Thrones. On a side note, Guardians of Order is coming out with the official RPG for this setting some time in october or november, if I remember correctly.

Well, let's see... 1. My best friend, who I've known since before either of us could speak, who I've managed to keep in touch with, despite him moving 'off-island'; he joined the group a couple months after some of my more local friends and I got a game started back in '02; he joined up when...

...and I was worried you were going to talk about a 'wacky, canned form of rations that gnomes invented' in your campaign...

I have to agree with Quickleaf. However, several of those problems (except for the lack of shapechanging magic, CR, and detail on the Vices/Virtues) aren't the least bit of a problem if you're a fairly experienced GM...errr, narrator, whose players trust you (and aren't horrible...

Unlimited budget, eh? Life-sized 'miniatures'; make monsters using serious plastic surgery on people and various monsters, and then have actors to play the PCs and humanoid NPCs...and then have them fight to the death, based on how the dice fall. But seriously, I think the answer would be to...

Warrior. I'm tall, I'm strong, I have a firm understanding of tactics and I'm at least half way towards getting that Martial Weapon Proficiency... Now, that said, I'd definately go barbarian if there was an expanded class list. Long story short, my size and strength caters towards being...

UPDATE! I got True20, and it looks perfect. Now all I have to do is learn the system and start indoctrinating my players...

Let's see... Blue Rose/True20/Psychic's Handbook/Other Stuff By Green Ronin: I'll have to take a look Black Company: I read up on it, and it didn't sound quite like what I want SWD20: It's the Force system that gave me the idea in the first place Elements of Magic: Sounds very...

Ok, so, I'm working on a fairly hefty variant magic system for Grim Tales, and here's what I've got so far... 1. There's "basic" magic which is craft/knowledge-based (alchemy, rituals) 2. There's "difficult" magic which you need to spend feats and talents to use/train the associated skills...

Awesome! This is just what I needed for the GT variant I'm working on for a campaign this fall. Basically, it's got everything that I like, put together in a sensical manner; wounds/vitality, parry/dodge, and "being screwed if you're unaware of an attack".

As GM, I typically keep track of stuff on a piece of graph paper, but resort to the battle mat for large, complex areas/battles that I can't adequately describe to the players...or that I don't want to repeat the description of every round.

Star Wars: The Campaign I'm Co-GMing In a campaign taking place in the blurry period about 160 years before the battle of yavin, all manner of fun stuff has happened. I attribute most of this to the fact that all the PCs are Jedi, fallen Jedi, or otherwise force-sensitive...and have lightsabers...

Back in 2002, I had been reading up on RPGs for quite a while, and finally decided to get a game going with my two best friends and one of their friends. We played for a while, but my game was, well, kinda crappy. So, one of them got another friend--a veteran gamer--to DM a new campaign. It...

It was D&D originally, but I really got sick of the 'assumed setting' elements and branched out into other D20 systems, namely Grim Tales. As it stands, the only regular game I'm in is a weekly Star Wars D20 game which I'm Co-GMing (we alternate). However, Grim Tales is my default system for...

Story, Favorite Role, and Kicking Butt, in that order. You see, I like [Cool Stuff] going on; surprises, tension, and so forth. And I like being the guy who's always calm and in control; from the same mold as Aragorn, Obi-Wan, and Mal from Firefly. Usually a 'warrior' type, seldom of the young...

No, certainly not dumb luck. It was force of numbers; they had gotten so much economic and military power from the places they easily conquered that they could just plow through the less optimal land by outnumbering defenders 20-to-1. But, that's just what I've gathered from what I've read and...

Well, here's my take on how a NG person would/could deal with such a thing... They'd want to see the bastard suffer, and sure, they'd want to exact revenge, but torturing them to death would mean crossing a line. Now, there are three general courses of action I see... 1. Torturing him to...

I originally wanted to be a player. Nobody else wanted to DM, and I happened to have a fair amount of talent for it, and making 'stuff' (plots, enemies, traps, maps, etc.) really appealed to me. So, for a long time, I've been the DM/GM/Narrator. I've enjoyed it, and I've gotten better with...

Oh crap! Sorry everybody! Over the last couple weeks, I've been heavily involved in a new real-life (i.e. face-to-face) SW campaign which I'm co-GMing, as well as yard work and other preparations for the 4th. I don't want to say I'm not interested in continuing this campaign, because I am, but...
