I got fatigued & stopped. I hope 5e (Next) will the One Game to Rule Them All, or at least The One Game That May Be Played By All; but I am not sure if it can live up to that billing. I was enjoying the nostalgia, but neither I or my group have the interest for such a long playtest. I look...

Well, any publicity is good publicity as the old saying goes. I wouldn't have known anything about this game without this thread, and now I want to see it & play it. I hope Cryptozoic publishes it like a license to print money. As for Kickstarter and other crowdfunding, the best product...

Preordered. I like all sorts of Western history, books & movies. I've been a sucker for Western games since Boot Hill through Deadlands and into Spellslinger d20. I even have a first printing of Aces & Eights. I am intrigued by the included adventure in Owl Hoot Trail, and am looking forward...

Is a character sheet posted?

I prefer playing with minis. But, I like it better with painted minis or a mix of minis for the heroes and counters for the foes - something to quickly distinguish the sides on the field. Also, I prefer not to have a grid as it cuts out the "checkers" moving.

Done.

I ran a Star Trek game last year using Savage Worlds (http://www.peginc.com/) crossed with Heroclix Star Trek Tactics (http://heroclix.com/category/heroclix/star-trek-tactics/#axzz2ZqLJTnzp). It was a fun game for me. I liked having the RPG for the personal level conflicts with the minis...

We played quite a bit of Gamma World 4e a couple of years ago - 3 adventures worth. I recall that we did not use Alpha Flux as much. We just let the characters keep their original Alpha Mutations. The Omega Tech was not a problem, but I think I had them draw just one card as a party where...

That looks awesome.

I couldn't grok Alternity Gamma World. The setting was great, but I didn't get the rules. I've read that it has many design elements that were precursor to 3e, though.

+1 for Savage Worlds - my favorite overall. It is so easy to prepare and still complex enough to be fun to play. The design goals include ease of GMing but fun protections for the players. Bennies (like action points) are fun as are aces (exploding dice). I think the card-based initiative is...

My brief (but brilliant) Star Trek game taught me a few things. First, what I think of as Star Trek may not be what my players think of as Star Trek. To put it shortly, I was running a post-DS9 game but they were playing a TOS game. Make sure you all speak the same ST lingo. In your game, it...

As suggested, start with the core rule book. I also like Machinations of Doom, as it is a combination graphic novel and sourcebook. It even has pregenerated characters if you want to take that shortcut.

What are the chances we'll see File Off the Serial Numbers in print? http://paizo.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/wa/browse?path=%2Fproducts%2Fbtpy8ytg%2Fdiscuss I'm hoping someone from Paizo will weigh in.

For the win!

I love the creativity.

Now THAT'S worthy of a reply, even though I didn't care for the OP. I wish the game had used a d20 as I probably would have understood it. As it is, I have a very pretty book but I don't really grok the rules. Still, I wish the game had succeeded--better for the hobby. Maybe in a natural...

I wanted to love the new 40KRP games. I even bought the first 3. I really like the Caiphas Cain novels. But the RPGs just didn't gel with me. And I missed playing 40KRP twice at a local con, so I traded away all the books. I like 40K a little more sci-fi and less gothic. I think Savage...

I am anxious to see the Car Wars kickstarter.

I think the real issue is that the play has to drive revenue. A store that provides playing area has to derive some sales or other income from providing that space. It could be anything from a table fee to a soda or snack to cards or other game components. When I have considered running games...
