Thanks for the move Eridanis! While I take most Privateer Press release dates with a grain of salt, I think they've learned from the fiasco that happened with the Charater Guide. They've been pretty mum about the actual date of release for the World Guide. We only find out once the next step...

Woops! Blast it, posted this in the wrong forum. Teach me not to look before I post. Any Mod want to move it to the right one? :heh: Thanks! -Ashrum

Privateer Press has announced that they will be reprinting the Monsternomicon Vol. 1 in a 3.5 compliant version to be released in May of this year. Even owning the original version, this is welcome news to me. I like the release of this RPG material, I just hope it is a continuing trend...

Wow. Thanks for all the great input folks. Looks like at the very least I'll be checking out the gurps traveller books for the background and campaign information that was a little light in the T20 books. After that I just may check out the gurps system as a whole to run my scifi campaign. I...

Thanks for moving the thread Darkness. Does gurps suffer from the problem of the Hero system in that the tool kits allow for the contraction of almost anything, but tend to bog the game down with the tool kits. What I found when playing hero, was that while the game mechanics of a laser and...

Thanks for the information folks. It is helping quite a bit. I've been bouncing around checking out various scfi settings lately and none of the fit the bill completely. I've slowly been working on a blending of D20 future and t20 with a dash of star frontiers for nostalgia's sack, but I've...

Gurps, we've all seen it around and it has a huge following from what I can tell. But can somebody explain to me what the system is like? I've playe DnD through three iterations, shadow run, hero system, earth dawn, vampire, etc. etc. I mention that just so folks can use a common reference point...

Well, accourding to the messages they've been putting out the severly underestimated the amount of work they had left to do on the World guide. Whole sections had to be redone since they'd been written three years earlier. Artwork needed to be resolicited to for the new sections, and the city...

It has been hinted at by the folks at Privateer that they plan on redoing the Monsternomican to make it 3.5 compliant. Of course they've also stated that they are re-releasing the witchfire trilogy as a complilation, and making it 3.5 compatible. As well as releasing a technology book and hinted...

I do hope though that their production on the RPG side of the house picks up a little steam after th World guide. They've already stated that they have a number of things ready, but they wouldn't put them out until after the world guide was released. That sounds promising, but since I know how...

Changed the title for you Talien, to make it clearer. -Ashrum

Sorry, no evil oout of me when I DM. I don't mind shades of gray, but out right evil to me just doesn't work. The characters end up betraying each other and things just spiral out of control form there. If I want that type of campaign I'll DM Vampire, shades of gray and black with intricate...

Privateer Press has posted a mock up of the cover for their upcoming World Guide. They've also set an anticipated release date of March next year for this monster. Here's the link to the cover: Privatee Press I for one am eagerly awaiting this book. -Ashrum

Yep, sure was. I gamed with the same group for 12 years. The group was more or less founded by a guy in my senior year of high school and we generally played at his house during the college years following. When he decided that he wanted to get married, and that college wasn't for him he joined...

Originally posted by Olive: Olive Add in another for that information, and I'd truely love to see a large-ish book that covered ship construction and added in an expanded list of equipment. The equipment that is in the main book is fine, but something that expands on the lists and adds in...

Yes, yes I have. Some times within my own group too! :lol: I think of this as strength of the game most times, but other times it's a real pain. When the folks in my group descide that they want to play evil epic games within my legendary heroic game, I get a bit testy. There are days I wish I...

I suppose I'd have to actually observe thing to give you a real suggestion on favoritism. As it stands right now everything can be looked at as just a matter of DMing. Giving the Tank good armor, seems like a natural fit to me when dishing things out. The bit about quickdraw, eh, I've...

My Pet peeves: 1) The reduction in flavor in favor of a clearer ruleset. Don't get me wrong, as a DM I love the rules to cover situations. But I hate it when my players focus on the numbers more than they focus on the plot and characters developments. 2) The treatment...

Hmm. Interesting that this didn't make the news page of thier web site. It seems to imply that they'll be carrying a decent line of RPG products. Hopefully this will include some third party products that don't get a lot of coverage in the average gaming store. Of course I still order my...
