Yep, I've got 30 years of gaming crap and nearly all of it assumes you have prior experience with gaming crap ;) Dresden would work, but she needs to feel comfortable reading a book that huge for a type of gaming she might not enjoy. Those D&D for Dummies books I bought at a yard sale and...

Go figure. After gaming since 1980 or so, I've finally found a woman that is actually interested in gaming. She picked up my Dresden RPG books today, got excited, then realized it was like 600 pages between the two volumes ;) She wants something she can read and get an understanding of what...

Nice link Henry. Hadn't heard of it before but quick glance tells me I'll be there fairy often.

heh... and here I thought WotC was reissuing E-Tools in Red Box Format - Essential E-Tools ;) almost an 8 year long raise on this...

Dark but clean - would be incarcerated again. I love that homicidal hobbit ;)

I've discussed it on my blog, but the short of it is: the PDFs look amazing, read well and I love the Fate system. Just got the Hardcovers the other day, and they blew me away. Simply awesome. I don't see how you can go wrong picking it up.

Ack! Good point.

At least we know where the party will be for the rest of the summer ;)

You both got further then I did. I loved the presentation, I tried to wrap my head around the rules and somehow got lost in the 2e to 3e translation. But I have these really awesome dice! ;) I think I'd need to play with those that already know the rules to be able to make the adjustment...

Castles & Crusades Quick Start Rules from the 2010 Free RPG Day. 6 classes, 4 races, 3 levels of spells, 2 spell lists, 1 page for equiptment, 6 levels of advancement and a 2 and a 1/2 page sample adventure. 19 pages when you take out the OGL/Header page - All you need is a few pages of...

MERP Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (1st or 2nd ed) HARP (Rolemaster-esque) (of course, MERP and HARP are fairly compatible)

The magic is in the interaction between the DM, the Players and the Group as a whole. Any game can be magic with the right group or it could be downright sterile with the wrong one. The game rules are just a tool. It's how it is used that makes all the difference.

The Table of Contents: 1. The Three Audiences 2. Shorter, Faster, Harder, Less 3. Why Writers Get Paid 4. Fantasy Realism 5. Worldbuilding 6. Pacing 7. Using and Abusing Misdirection 8. Monster Hordes Epic Heroism vs. Smooth Skirmishing 9. Stagecraft The Play is the Thing, by...

My God but I forgot Torg! That read well and played like wet paper. Might have been the players tho. same group pushed thru a few mini-campaigns in Rifts. Now that I think about it, Battlelords of the 23rd Century is up there too. Fun to read, rules in play were a mess.

Shojo seems to fit the CG definition pretty well. I don't see the TN definition fitting him.

Yep, that too :)

I'm really digging Mr. Scruffy ;)

Think it would work pretty well. Putting the game in your home city is my preferred option, which would leave the immediate flavor trappings from Harry's world pretty far away from in game events.

Damn! That might wind up pretty cool.

I vote Rifts too. And I was there at the beginning, had my copy signed at GenCon when it was first released. It looked and smelled like gaming nirvanna. It actually read pretty well if you allowed your imagination to gloss over the inconsistancies and didnt dwell on them (like i force myself...
