    Reducing Options to Increase Fun

    I agree. I've run core games since 2e. Even my 3e game is too much complexity for me right now. I've just started using DDM as the basis for a new D&D game, with simple advancement from the Miniatures Handbook and the old secondary skills table from 2e. It's off the chain so far. In the...

    What could a publisher sell you RIGHT NOW/

    A new Gamma World. Luckily, this is scheduled to come out later this year--with counters which is almost as good as pre-painted minis with stat cards. A hardcover Omega World. Softcover would be okay. Since they can't do it d20 anymore I guess it would have to be OGL, which would be fine...

    What would WotC need to do to win back the disenchanted?

    They will be getting me back with the new Gamma World. I'll buy the first release and the others if it plays the way I think it will. And this from one who has never purchased a single 4e product--I thought I was off the ride and out of the amusement park when 3.5 ended. I think Gamma World...

    Gamma World Novel scheduled for February

    I'll be looking forward to this book. I love Gamma World and I used to live in Oklahoma--so it will be sort of a double delight to read.

    Quest for the "perfect" all-in-one game

    Yeah, I tried it a couple of different ways, and it didn't work out. My current plan is to use the pre-generated characters from Machinations of Doom and run the story from that graphic novel. If it went very well, I might run further adventures. But, I would be satisfied with a few weeks...

    Quest for the "perfect" all-in-one game

    Savage Worlds is the best one for me. I like the Revised Edition a little better than the Explorer's Edition because I like the big hardback, the fantasy races, and the d20 conversion guide. But, either one is great. It's a concise book that presents all the rules necessary for any game--in...

    How much complexity is right for you?

    In general, I prefer coarse granularity. When playing, I like a little more fine granularity--like the Player's Handbook. When DMing, I prefer more coarse granularity--as with Savage Worlds or Omega World d20. As a DM, I would even like to run an RPG based on D&D minis or Star Wars minis. I...

    No more WotC Star Wars site

    Nope. They lost me with Saga Edition, although I do think it was an ingenious strategy to print a new edition to coincide with each of the latest 3 movies. I had what I wanted with the Revised Core Rulebook. I also quit the minis after getting a complete set of Rebel Storm. What could be...

    Tell me about Savage Worlds

    Savage Worlds is great fun. Most of their settings include a plot point campaign which makes it easy. We're currently playing Realms of Cthulhu, and I have run Tour of Darkness and Necropolis. As a DM, it reduced my prep time about 90% as compared to d20. So, yes, I'd say you could...

    Omega World? Puh-leeeze

    Here's hoping that the nbew Gamma World is very much like Omega World d20. I re-read OW recently. Wow. If the new GW borrows concepts from it, then it will be a very worthwhile game.
