Its got a couple railroad points where it assumes the PCs care about or did something, but otherwise its a fairly good sandbox to play in. The rules for the town management can be fairly broken if you look at it from min/max standpoint rather than reality (specifically look at graveyards IIRC)...

Tops and Microsoft license Shadowrun and Battletech out now to Catalyst Game Labs and Smith and Tinker. Jordan Wiseman has made a healthy career out of buying and selling IP. I would expect talks to happen with Hasbro and interested parties concerning buying up the IP. It would just depend on...

In my XP new players who are say over 25 or under 13 tend to like simpler games where as from about 13-25 players like the crunch or at leased don't mind it. I think the two big factors are life experience and time. When your young you don't have a lot of experience and once you start a family...

Desolation (18 times) Shadowrun (12 times) Warhammer (6 times) nVampire/nMage set in Roman Era (4 times) Burning Wheel (3 times) Pathfinder (2 times) Eclipse Phase (2 times) D&D 4e (1 time) Unknown Armies (1 time) Dragon Age (1 time) I wanted to put the times because although I marked 4e and...

Settled out of court is not thrown out and Tops now has someone overseeing CGL to make sure there are no more Wildfire type issues (in a strictly bookkeeping/legal sense). The facts on that case were cut and dry. CGL didnt pay Wildfire their royalties by date X Wildfire said stop selling our...

If we are restating things we should also say Loren Coleman who stole money from the mouths of freelancers and ignored a cease and desist order from wildfire to stop printing cthuhlutech until they paid up their debt and also the guy who didnt show up for court after which their lawyer quit...

I liked the 20 questions in Shadowrun, I always used that as a guide and gave out 1 Karma per question answered whenever the PC chose to answer it. So they didnt have to have a background upfront or ever if they didnt want to.

I bought a nice color laser printer after reading some reviews on new egg

The company is doing fine, they settled out of court. The company is still run by the same guys responsible for the missing funds, ridiculously late payments, and ignoring court orders. Tops has a person dedicated to oversee the account because of the shinanigans but so far they are hands off...

Thats Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2e (possibly 3e I haven't played 3e enough yet to comment) GURPS also has a wild magic system which could simulate that. Desolation also fits with its magic burn system and if you played Shadowrun 4e or New World of Darkness the rules will be easy to pickup...

I always made trapfinding an available feat for people with 5 or more ranks in search and disable device. Tracking is a feat after all, trapfinding should be to.

/agree but want to add that doesn't mean profitable or not. Mage Knight got shut down by Tops because it was a management nightmare even though it made money it wasnt enough that they wanted to have to deal with it. They also license out Shadowrun for the same reason.

Only two D&D games but many other games I have played in had a female at the helm.

While I'm not a Savage Worlds fan I think Star Wars and Savage Worlds fit well together.

Desolation - Its the fantasy game I always wanted (more or less), its been out for a couple years but I just found it. I can't really think of anything else I was super impressed with this year as I spent most of my $$$ filling holes in my collection.

You may not want to jump from D&D to Amber as the difference is quite large (or maybe thats a good thing). If you still need the comfort of dice and something familiar I suggest going to something like Savage Worlds, Serenity, Hollow Earth Expiditions, World of Darkness or Burning Wheel. All of...

Most are that way. Some of the more well known ones GURPS, Savage Worlds, World of Darkness, Shadowrun, Hero, Rifts, Some lesser well known ones Victoriana, Sla Industries, Witchhunter, All for One, Desolation, Hollow Earth Expidition, For someone just starting out I would recommend...

Sometimes I'm not interested in the Orc attack, I just want to get back to farming. Sure the Orcs may take over the lands and then I get thrown into slavery to them but thats part of the fun. I made a decision not to take care of the Orc threat when they were small and easy. Whats important is...

No, I just realised you mean Heroes Unlimited - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and not Hero System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Check out Dungeon Fantasy 1 for GURPS off e23. They have GURPS rules options of all the standard classes which should give you ideas for Hero as the systems are similar.
