A carrion crawler in ass-less leather chaps and a ball gag? Oh, you didn't mean THAT kind of nasty...

Hmm... well, my most used is probably The Psychics Handbook. Even though I haven't run a D&D game in forever, it's incredibly inspirational, since I'm a total fiend for psi powers in my games. Least? I couldn't even tell you anymore. I reviewed about 200 or so products for GamingReport, most...

According to Ann, there's a d20 conversion section already in the Deryni book, penned by Steve Kenson.

There were a lot of things that made me want to work with Core Elements. Small statblocks (and the equivalent time saved in writing up NPC's) was definitely one of them. Pretty much anything that makes it easier for me to run a game totally on the fly is, for me at least, a very good thing.

If that's the wrong way to do it, I don't want to be right.

If you want to have your PDF's printed, PrintFu kicks butt. I've had half a dozen books printed out there in the last couple of months. They're fast and inexpensive.

I can't speak for anyone but myself on this one, but as someone who's had to lay people off for a variety of reasons, and been laid off myself when our branch was sold off and shut down, I don't think that even entered into it. I imagine most folks would have a much more enjoyable holiday if...

I don't see this as being substantially more useful advice than "compare to an existing power and price accordingly" for the initial pricing of a power, as it's not exactly clear in many cases what constitutes an effect. I buy Power X, and spend 20 points on it. For a 1 point Alternate Power...

Since SK himself couldn't get 'em ALL right the first time around - one of the reasons we have a 2nd edition now, after all - I'd say that no amount of words on paper will ever replace good old fashioned legwork. If someone doesn't want to have to deal with imbalance, discussion, and tweaking...

You might look at a game like Risus, Wushu, or Fudge, where you can give characters traits like Average Guy or Slightly Overweight But Devilishly Handsome Gamer; the characters have traits, but they don't need to have stats like Strength, Agility, etc. Saves you from having to make everyone lift...

As long as I get to trounce evildoers and rescue maidens in distress with a fun group of players, it doesn't make a whit of difference to me. 1st is fine.

Thanks! Glad to hear some folks are enjoying it. I've got a setting book in the works for it; once I finish writing Orwell Industries, I'll probably try to squeeze it in before I get roped into writing another Superlink book!

If I'm running a sufficiently long campaign - most of them are pretty short - I'll figure out a way to work zombies into it sooner or later.

It'd be something like this. :D

(Still waiting for a "Whoever smelt it dealt it" joke...)

You could also handle it like Mutants & Masterminds or True20: wrap Spot and Listen up into a single skill, Notice, that can also cover smell & taste.

And here I was going to pimp the Toolbox, and got beaten to the punch... :) But mine has the advantage of being free! (Fear Effects is damned good, though, and well worth checking out.)

Preach on.

Ken Hite is, IIRC, working on a GURPS Conspiracy sourcebook for 4th edition. Which I'm looking forward to, but probably isn't something you're going to want to hold out for if you're planning on starting conspiracy campaign any time soon.

Which proves my point. Yes, kids are people too. Yes, they can grapple with complex ideas, etc. etc. But saying "kids are ready for X" is a pointless blanket statement; some kids are ready for things which other kids are not. That's where it becomes the parents' job to keep an eye on what kids...
