    HACKMASTER Basic - for free!

    It is a radically different rules set, it has absolutely outgrown any such thing. Especially since to be a "clone" a high degree of inter compatibility and similarity must be maintained. The new HM is not in any way easy to convert back to the old version, let alone AD&D, so it most assuredly is...

    HACKMASTER Basic - for free!

    Yeah, this is no where close to being a "retro clone". Very new rules set. The only RPG this shares any similarities with is Kenzers own Aces and Eights, and even then there are a lot of differences, in how you build characters, how skill works, and even how combat works, starting with...

    HACKMASTER Basic - for free!

    I can only assume your missing something. I ran Hackmaster Basic for over 8 months, using Quirks and Flaws and the Honor system, and had 4 different people play a thief in that time, and every last one of them played a "good" thief. Then after that I played in a game for several months, because...

    No, your not dishonorable in helping your allies. Your dishonorable if your not helping them to keep "number one" alive and with a positive cash flow. Its all in the WHY you do something, not just what you do.

    117 minis now, BEFORE any add on options. Yeah, the "Bones" line are all plastic. Only the solid silver mechs weren't plastic. I think one of the ones in the Vampire level might be metal, but the vast majority, if not all, are plastic, not metal.

    They are an awesome deal! Not nearly as awesome as the mini's themselves, but over half off retail. Believe its in the neighborhood of 60% off retail, but someone far more familiar with Reaper retail pricing will hopefully confirm the actual percentage of discounts.

    I take it you didn't read about Quirks and Flaws? Because unlike 4E this is a mechanical system that encourages you to take such personality aspects and role play. So it strongly encourages you to role play. So does the Honor system. So you may want to read the PDF again.

    Books within the libraries within your campaigns?

    I agree, which is why the pricing on these books, so far at least, has been well out of the reach of "common" people, but with D&D pricing and treasure rewards being the way they are, well within the reach of adventurer types, and plenty of other people, such as Churches, Guilds, Wizards...

    Books within the libraries within your campaigns?

    "Private" libraries come up fairly often in my campaigns, either because of a mages tower/laboratory or a temple library, or they go to a Sage, who pretty much has to have a library of some size, right? Today I was able to write up 13 books authored by old PC's turned into NPC's in my...

    Books within the libraries within your campaigns?

    So have you done any write ups about what books your adventurers find in the libraries of your world, public or private? Know of any good products that provide such write ups for fantasy settings? I know of XRP's Tome of Tomes PDF. Its what got me started on this.

    Its definitely going to go over 100 mini's too. Plus the $10 and $18 add ons are pretty darn sweet, if they are things your looking for. I am just glad the solid silver mini's sold out before I found out about this. Saved me a lot of money.
