The ramifications of character death is a particular issue for me, with D&D especially. As a player, it is harder for me to enjoy the game when I have to bring in a character of lower (power) level. It's not just the XP loss, there is less money & magic - at least in the editions in the way we...

The d20 to Savage Worlds conversion guide is also very handy. Only 1 page and should be out there electronically.

Good idea. I had a player get both jokers in 1 draw due to edges that allow more than 1 card. He was pumped when I changed my answer to "Yes, of course you get +4 to all rolls this round." He didn't get more actions, but he got more action. (Come to think of it that may have been in a d20...

I love Savage Worlds. It ruined me for other games or vice versa. My prep time went down about 90 percent when i started running it. Without repeating much of what is here, here are a couple if things I really like. Bennies. We use poker chips that harken to our Deadlands days. I like being...

That sounds fun. I've been missing our old Hell on Earth game. We're back on Savage Worlds for Realms of Cthulhu now. Great fun. Prior, we did Dungeon Crawl Classics for a year. I was there for half of it. It was fun and a good implementation of D&D old school play, but the DM found it...

I couldn't grok either one of them. The One Ring (TOR) has current support and gets good reviews. But you have the LOTR RPG on the shelf. Let her read that one and if it doesn't strike her fancy then you can get TOR.

Savage Worlds.

I have a dice tray that I really like. It is a wooden box that opens flat. It started out as a box of wine tools. I took out those items and lined it with adhesive felt. Now, when I get to the gaming table I just set the box down and open the lid. The dice are all on one side and a clear rolling...

Truck bed art man needs to be pulled over early and often by the police.

Slightly off but here's my take on the theme song: 40KRP in Cincinnati Players, if you've ever wondered Wondered what ever became of me I'm playing 40K in Cincinnati Cincinnati 40KRP Got kind of tired of packing and unpacking All those minis on the tabletop Maybe all those games were never...

All good choices. Ultimately I voted Dragonspear because I think it will be an important part of the collective experience.

It seems that the tempest in the teapot is now boiling over into the PAX show(s) which can't be good for that business.

There is no winning for the Penny Arcade guys - only degrees of losing now. Least said is easiest mended. I still like them on Acquisitions Incorporated.

They should probably just not comment further on it now.

Thanks for posting all those Gen Con videos.

Yes, interesting.

For me, system matters. I need a certain level of mastery (or at least familiarity) with a game before I get invested enough to really enjoy it. I like putting in a degree of work so that I can make an effective character (power gaming) and then continue to invest in the story of the game and...

Got it over the weekend. Skimmed the rules but reading the adventure in detail. Perhaps it is something that can get folded into my next Western game - if I ever get to it. And, I am glad to have purchased it from an author on this forums and from a publisher that sponsors Ken & Robin Talk...

I wish I had the problem of more than one game to play. As it is, it seems that someone in our group runs a game into the ground and then we go to another one. I have tried to get a different dynamic, but it is hard to change. Most of the group prefers D&D which tires me quickly.

Cool. Maybe mine is in the mail too.
