Reputation of the GM goes a long way. If people vouch for the GM, its a lock for me. One of the best campaigns I was ever in was back in the late 80's/early 90's with someone who would go on to be the infamous Squirrel Nutkin.

Oh! I just remembered HOL (Human Occupied Landfill).

1. How do you think price factors when evaluating a product? Price is something I would reference, certainly. However, one of the problems with evaluating price (other than 'is it worth it') is, well, a good product is a good product. Price is important but hardly factors in when evaluating a...

Ghost Dog. OK, its not exactly a strange setting per se as much as it is a strange property to use for a setting.

For more powerful villains, I once used a hideout in the clouds. But for someone along the lines of Joker or Riddler type guys, a cloud base seems a little out of their league. But I do like the idea of a small island or military base.

What are some reasonable hideouts people have used in their supers games for villains? The idea of the abandonned warehouse, while functional, is a little cliche. Whereas it is kind of cool to think of some crooks hanging out in a museum or art gallery, it is not nearly as feasable to do so...

I certainly like the idea of a goals oriented system. Clever. Currently I make the players pay 100 gold per level they are heading towards. Keeps the economy in good shape. ;)

This is pretty much how I felt. The concept of the game was one of the most clever and interesting ideas I had seen in a long time. However, the main rule book was filled - and I mean FILLED - with this elaborate backstory of the world history which did not interest me at all. I ignored it...

Greybeards. Grognards. What you really need to do is dedicate a thread to fatbeards. Now, that is where its at! ;)

I definitely think there is a trap many people can fall into when they decide to play these classes. The paladin is often played as a knight in shining armor (sometimes he is played as the self-righteous knight in shining armor). The druid is often played as some wacky hippie who looks like...

Oh Lord. You have issues. :)

August 2006? I certainly hope they have something a little more interesting to debut at GenCon.

I would say that anybody could be a priest in a Lovecraft scenario. Actually, I would probably gravitate towards giving them wizard abilities and have a general creepiness to them.

More Prestige Classes?! That's certainly a useful expenditure of WotC's resources and time.

Methinks that your game needs to quickly emulate Survivor. On a serious option, one thing that you could do is see if they are all really interested. If they are, then find a co-GM and pick different nights where you could have two storylines going on at once in different parts of the world...

I did follow the d6 version. In fact, I played in a campaign for awhile. Whereas I thought the game was kind of fun, I thought some of the products were a little suspect.

I am sorry. I am the cause of all this. Whenever I enter a store, I can't help myself from stealing PHBs and DMGs. I must have 80 of them (each) by now.

Of all the people lamenting of the death of the Star Wars RPG (well, not the death, but you know what I mean), I am justnot sure how many products could be put out in the future anyway. You are given a setting book and some extras to go with it. Surely with a world as rich as the SW universe...

I am glad to see that the United States and Canada do not have a monopoly on obnoxious gamers.

What is with campaign crib death? I mean I constantly hear about epic ideas for campaigns that only fall apart after a few sessions. Is it that the GM (or players) bit off more than they can chew or are there other factors involved? I have had the good fortune to only be a part of only one or...
