You know, 2nd Edition had this sort of weird Renaissance vibe to it-- a lot of Renaissance items in the original 2nd Ed PHB, lots of period outfits in the art. 3rd Edition has fully evolved into something else-- I won't argue that this is specifically a bad thing, but it is of no historical...

Anybody got a link? Hong has come up twice.

Yeah, but that's a whole bunch of books with a whole bunch of classes. What I want to know is, what are the "Best Of" for all these 3rd party base classes? Did something from, say, Unorthodox Bards really stick out to you? Or, perhaps, as an "and/or" to this question, what are you actually...

Tell me about it. There could be a whole site, "What's Your World of Darkness?" or something, for those of us who scratched our heads at various missed opportunities over the years-- a site filled with separate versions of what the WoD should have become. Like all the Changeling freelancers who...

There may have been a similar discussion a while ago, but new things have come out since then, so I was wondering, what do people think are the best new base classes to come out of non-WotC products? This includes Green Ronin's Handbook series, Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved, everything. Of...

RE: Too many dice, WoD, and Exalted I just wanted to chime in on what some people are saying about the number of dice required for the White Wolf system. Note that the guy who says he needs a dice roller was talking about Exalted, not WoD. The revised Exalted is a very different system as a...

Maybe it is both; a vision of the old WoD after the apocalyptic events described in all the end of the world books Gehenna, Apocalypse, etc. Either way, I hope very much it is not the new WoD, but a version of the old. My WoD game petered out because of rules problems, and maybe this would let...

I have not yet had the good fortune of seeing the new Delta Green, but my understanding was that the book stated clearly that the game was still set in the 90's. That said, I would love to see an "update" book for DG in the 21st Century. I would say, hey everybody, let's tell the designers we...

A word of warning: I watched Night Watch in the original Russian DVD release, not the American one by Fox(?), and I said "Boy, that movie had a neat premise, but really dragged toward the end, got confusing, and never lived up to its potential." Then I later watched the version the director...

Yeah, but guys without Weapon Finesse aren't fencing, they're doing something else.

Why didn't I think of that? Spycraft 2.0 has customization for other settings built into it. Dark Inheritance even adds a magic system. I feel stupid now, because Spycraft would be perfect.

To confirm MrFilthyIke, it can be downloaded, but subtitling is an issue. Not that I endorse illegal downloading, of course. As for system: Unknown Armies? Someone mentioned Feng Shui, I think that would be a good fit, since Night Watch is like a Russian version of a Hong Kong film in some...

Thanks to a faulty email filter, I only just now received my answer, but it appears POSTMODERN: Fantastic Classes will be available at the EN World RPG Now affiliate store Tuesday (that's tomorrow). And if one were desperate to get it now, it is already up at yourgamesnow.com. Actually, if you...

Well, Kevin Siembieda himself hasn't, or at least he hadn't when this was written: This post was already linked to in this thread, but the link didn't work for me, so here is another attempt: http://forum.rpg.net/showpost.php?p=1445566&postcount=184 Whether someone at the company has finally...

I know it was pushed back to the middle of this month, but I don't have the exact date from BFG's head honcho right now. When I do, I'll post. In the meantime, here is a talent tree from the book. As you can see, it is designed so that our monk-like class, the Disciplined Hero, and our...

Esxactly. I thought Agents was a great book, it just wasn't what jonrog and I were talking about. And I agree that Green Ronin's M&M releases should stay focused on Supers. That is why I came out in favor of a wiki or something, as suggested, to act as a repository for M&M genre house rules. I...

I am pretty familiar, and I admire Grim Tales a lot. I would say our approach is very similar, but within a different framework. Obviously, as the product is a book of new classes, the talent trees included are designed more for those new classes than the existing six (though there is nothing to...

Yeah, but that was more for lower-powered characters within a superhero setting, not really a genre book or a reapplication of the rules like jonrog is talking about. If such alternate rules were compiled somewhere, that would be really cool. I just did a rework on space travel, based on a...

Actually, BFG's POSTMODERN: Talent Tree Compendium, published this past September, is to my knowledge the biggest talent tree compilation ever, with 58 talent trees in one pdf for $3.95. We worked really hard to give you the most possible bang for your buck. You can get it here...

Just wanted to mention, the Mastermind's Manual has rules for converting M&M to hit points, which can be helpful.
