I've only seen the first episode, but I think that's what Entourage is about, no? Some of 'em party. Some of them get addicted to substances or activities. Some look for work in their chosen area. Some despair of getting work again. Some get busted (see also, addictions) Some (many?) get into...

FWIW, I've been using HeroLab for a couple of years now -- ever since they debuted the M&M content -- and I haven't had to pay to renew a license or the like.

Can I be Anecdote Man, too? :) The campaigns I ran used a combination of 3.0 & 3.5. The ranger was a house-ruled 3.0 ranger, though I had said anyone who wanted to could use the 3.5e ranger. The spells were mostly 3.0 (with harm/haste/heal as the major exceptions) -- i.e., bull's strength...

Besides the KoDT-styled problems (wherein hirelings are abused until they revolt en masse), it could be because they cost money (gotta pay 'em and feed 'em and get 'em lodgings), suck up other resources (unless you just leave 'em to die slowly when they get hurt, they'll need healing), and make...

No, Piratecat is a figment of Crothian's imagination. We are all alts of Piratecat.

I think Bill Stoddard, who writes GURPS supplements for SJGames, once talked (on Pyramid, IIRC) about a campaign where the D&D rules were a simulation of the world -- thus, falling wasn't as dangerous, you gained skill and power by killing things and stealing their stuff (i.e., getting XP), etc...

Spirit of the Century or Savage Worlds would be my suggestions. Both can easily be very pulpy in feel. SW has a free test drive you can download here, and there's an SRD of the SoTC rules online, so you can maybe check those out and get a feel for 'em. I might consider GURPS, but my group...

Also, if you want them to do something other than mug villages, remember that "weak and vulnerable" does not usually translate to "but has tons of loot hidden". So those easy towns they're knocking over could rationally be getting them much less than the standard loot-per-encounter. So, yes...

Some places & times, busses aren't terribly reliable or convenient, for in-town use. I used the bus to get to work in San Jose for a year or so, and I had to leave 30-45+ minutes earlier than I would have with a car, because the bus took longer (frequent stops), and the schedule was such that I...

I read Dark Horse's prequel, and it was fine. If the movie is as good, then it should be better than the AvP movies. Of the movie characters, only Brody's & Fishburne's characters are in the comic. Brody's character is a mercenary and a real piece of work; seeing him face off against predators...

Wastelands, an anthology of post-apocalypse short stories by a variety of authors.

That was good. Durkon FTW.

Personally, with no more info than what's given here, I'd rather play an underwater campaign in the Blue Planet setting than one in Greyhawk. SF sounds more interesting than fantasy, in that milieu. <shrug> Edit: Combat underwater seems like it might be kind of repetitive. Aside from biting...

We can only hope that someday, with the help of time machines, we can alleviate this sad situation.

I think I'd quibble about Hell => Rage. Rage seems a more chaotic, demonic thing, IMO. "Spookiness", though, is where you lost me entirely. "Spookiness" is an emotion?

Do they wear their sunglasses at night?

Yes, definitely. IIRC, versions 7+ do; might be 8+, though. Regarding supplements -- I'd pick Hellfrost. The Fantasy Companion is more generic, so I think Hellfrost is more interesting. OTOH, the FC is cheaper, and if you have your own ideas for a fantasy setting (or want to adapt an existing...

It probably means that Plots & Places probably isn't the best forum to get feedback on rules. :) Maybe if you posted it on the Other RPG Discussion or General RPG boards?

But can someone who is neither you nor Morrus nor Piratecat* confirm that? *Because, as we all know, we are all merely alts of Piratecat.

FWIW, their later PDF products (including the current version of SW:EE) use layers so you can easily toggle the backgrounds off for cleaner printing & use less ink. Of course, your PDF reader has to support that. Also, you get both a regular and printer-friendly version of some of their other...
