Sounds like weekly gaming would be a chore! How's about cutting it to once a month, and the other weeks play board games or let someone else GM and you play?

I run my groups as a democracy and majority rules. This has led to one person I liked leaving the group, but they weren't meshing with the other players. Otherwise people who are chronic problems seem to find their own solutions to getting out of the game before we ever have the chance to kick...

Jim, [shameless plug]We'd love to see you next Saturday (7/21) at our ENWorld Game Day Dallas! It's at GenX Comics in Bedford, midway between Dallas and Fort Worth. I'm running my True20 historical horror one shot at 11 and Der Kluge is driving in from Tulsa to run a D&D 3.5 dragon hunt in...

Fun to read, but a bit long. You really have to work as a DM to instill the sense that something isn't quite right with these critters. We spent about seven 4 hour sessions on it, and if I ran it again I'd cut out some rooms. Otherwise it has some fun encounters! Did you say $2 DCC? Oh yeah...

It's not your experience I have problems with, but I do have problems with you talking through your hat. You've made your points. I know I've gone on with this much further, but I have problems when people throw opinions out as the God honest truth, when we both know with any system it's "YMMV."

Blue Rose was never intended by Green Ronin to be anything but the three published books. Once they finished, that was it. So if you want to call a finite project "slow death" than that's a strange interpretation. If anything Blue Rose did much better that Green Ronin expected, otherwise they...

I don't think I'd first use True20 to replace the D&D ruleset for a D&D game. If I want to run dungeon crawls, D&D works fine. While I really like True20, my current group meets to play classic-setting D&D, and the 3.5 rules work fine. When I want to run a game that's a degree or two away from...

I've run a historical horror (ala Brotherhood of the Wolf) oneshot and asian fantasy. In both cases there weren't rules covering specific areas, but it was easy to take similar rules in D20/D&D and convert them over. I had to do this with early gunpowder weapons and feat trees for Shugenja...

Good to hear! We had interest from folks in Houston and Austin, but I haven't seen any of them chime in. If you guys are lurking, could you give us a peep to let us know if you're coming? Thanks! Seven days and counting....

I'm all ready! :) I wonder what happened to Danny?

True - while I'm a fan of pdfs I have yet to purchase any of the WoTC titles. If I'm going to pay full price, it will be at my FLGS, not an online vendor where I'm used to getting discounts.

For those of us who passed on subscribing but would now like to take a look at it, could y'all post a link to Wolfgang's web site? Thanks!

It was early 1978, just after the cartoon version of "The Hobbit" had been on TV. I was already into Avalon Hill war games and I thought of myself as a brainy strategy gamer at the age of 11. One day news spread that another boy, Mike, had gotten this cool new game. That afternoon we all...

This is one of the advantages to me. Sometimes a combat encounter isn't worth getting out the mat, fumbling through the miniature box and spending the next fourty minutes watching players decide how to move their minis just to fight some orcs. In True20 it's much easier to run combat with a...

I was making my morning rounds of RPG sites and noticed the Eberron Campaign Setting book is now available on RPGNow! I think this bodes well for GMs as the book itself is full of spoilers. When I ran an Eberron adventure a few years ago I didn't want to loan out the book to my players, for...

And if the rack is like the dozen or so I've seen in various Barnes & Nobles I've visited, it's in the anime/graphic novel aisle, often an aisle or two over from RPG games. B&N has also started shelving RPG books with the PC & console game cheat books, making them more difficult to find.

My way makes me feel more like a craftsman than a wage-slave/consumer! :p I don't think it would be wise for Reaper to try and produce their core class figures in plastic. There's already so much variation out there, and people are pretty picky about picking a figure to represent their...

I thought the point of allowing pros was so that the Olympics could be about the world's best athletes competing, not those that don't make money from it. It was an artificial barrier and the games are better for it.

I thought it was the DVD's promise of "80 minutes of relentless laughter." Lord knows RPG players need more relentless laughter. :p

I'm getting the hint that some posters to this thread believe that WoTC titles would be a slam-dunk win in most categories. But not letting WoTC a shot at the ENnies is like barring pro athletes from competing in the Olympics. WoTC has just as much opportunity not to win as any of the other...
