If I could pick another one to play again, it would be Star Wars Revised d20. We had a great all-jedi game going, but it unfortunately fell by the wayside. I just love the idea of the heroism of playing jedi and being free of the material pursuits and selfish agendas that seem to go with most...

So far so good at the last session. I'm taking a "wait & see" approach. Hoping for the best while preparing for the worst. I'm more optimistic about it working out than before.

Thanks.

Good advice and likely what I will do if things don't cool off. I think "calling him out" will lead to one of several undesired outcomes, and it would be unproductive no matter the result. Life is too short.

It should have been this, but I can't edit the thread title now.

So, I am intrigued by the Lazy Dungeon Master: http://slyflourish.com/lazydm/ Will it be printed?

This is really good advice and I'm pondering it.

So the short question is how do I game with my friend who is a jerk? More of the story is that my friend has a beautiful intensity for one specific game. He is really motivated to come play, has been at it for decades, and loves the game. But he also has a terrible intensity for the game...

Add "players who are jerks" to every edition and I think you've got it.

I have read the second printing, and my group has been playing it while I have been away. It brought back one lapsed player and added 2, so something must be going right. It is an older, lower-powered style of game. I like many aspects of it in theory, but I haven't seen them in practice yet...

Assuming you are talking about writing for role-playing games, the way to develop skills with rules systems is to read, play & run them. And pick a simple, current system. I put read it first because I think a lot of gamers skip that step or only refer to rules when & as needed. Over the...

I bought a copy of the second printing (with errata & an index) while traveling recently and have read most of it. It has many great design features: low levels, equalization through randomization, critical hits & misses, etc. I am a little unsure of the magic. It seems a little...

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/730004812/creature-cards-monstrous-playing-cards-for-games-o A cool project. Hope it gets funded.

I think it is a great idea. I hope you publish them for Savage Worlds (SW). SW is just complex enough for the stats to appear on a playing card. I think D&D 3.5 or Pathfinder is a little too complex for it, but I see your samples are good. I suggest looking at the D&D Minis card for...

Yes, Savage Worlds is awesome. Flippin' awesome. It fundamentally changed the way I look at gaming.

This is great for the referee. Keep the ideas coming. It is helpful.

I have it, but I didn't "get" it. For me, a game like that needs to either be based on Savage Worlds (& complex in its simplicity) or OGL (& simple in its complexity).

Agreed. The crew of the Betty makes that movie much better. As to the original question, I tried to love Mongoose Traveller for Judge Dredd's sake. The character creation system is cool, but I just didn't grok the rules engine itself.

Can anyone share insights into the Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game (DCC RPG)? My group has taken it up while I have been away for a couple of months. I read about it, but my hesitation is that the way my group plays D&D is more toward tactics & strategy (which I enjoy less) and away...

I've run a lot of Savage Worlds and find it good & challenging for players as written. With my group of 2 players, I give them lots of extras & allies to help out. They take most of the damage & death, so risk is always present but heroes rarely die these days. I find the threat of it in a...
