    RPGs Published in Non-English Languages?

    While it has been mentioned that Shadowrun got translated into languages including German, if my memory serves, back in 2nd Edition there were some sourcebooks that were written only in German. Maybe someone else here can confirm that (or deny it, I could be wrong :)) but that to me seems more...

    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    Hey Old One! Just got through reading the whole tale from the beginning and I have to say...wow! Great characters, riveting story, a very vibrant world...AND historical references! I love it! And I haven't even mentioned the tactics! Great job! Looking forward to the next update. :)

    What was your first D&D session like?

    The first time I played was in 7th grade ('93-'94) with some friends in my class who already played. Having grown up on Arthurian legend and a general love of knights and chivalry and all that, I thought it would be a blast to actually play some of that out. So I rolled up a dwarven fighter...

    A Kingdom of Ashes (Zombies! Pirates! Giant Lizards! Intrigue!) UPDATED 07/01/05!!

    Seconded. Only I don't have mad undead whomping powers, like you do. Nope, gotta do it the ol' fashioned way, with fists and stomping. You can never get the smell out either... :D :D :D

    If you could try a RPG that ISN'T D&D...

    I've played MW3 and, as I mentioned in my post earlier, it has the greatest character creation system ever! Well, it's a lot of fun at any rate, involving life paths and random events, which generally have to be approached with some leniency so that players can get characters of the type they...

    At what age did you start gaming?

    I was first introduced into the game in grade 7 (I was 12, I think) by some friends in my class at school. I enjoyed it, but for one reason or another it didn't last too long. Took it up againin grade 9 (at 14) and got my best friends into it to and it stuck ever since, though we've since...

    The best game in the world means nothing without players...

    For me, it's nigh impossible under current circumstances. The group I got involved with when I moved down here is, for the most part, rabidly devoted to d20. Makes it hard to play anything else. Combined with the fact that there doesn't appear to be a particularly large Shadowrun following in...

    If you could try a RPG that ISN'T D&D...

    Let's see...some of these I have played/do play when I can and some are to be tried. Shadowrun--My favoritest of systems that I wish I could play down here, but thus far haven't been able to. :( Next weekend, I'm running a game for my old group up in Boston, though, so I'm looking forward to...

    How many story hours do you follow?

    I currently have 18 bookmarked and I tend to follow them as they get updated. Most of them aren't updated too often, so as I get current I keep picking up new ones. The big ones for me are: Old One's Fallen Glory Barsoomcore's WizarDru's The Universe's (of course :p) Medallions We Were Like...

    A Kingdom of Ashes (Zombies! Pirates! Giant Lizards! Intrigue!) UPDATED 07/01/05!!

    Less impact on you, maybe, you weren't carrying the moving corpse. :p We had no idea the background. I was just being a good samaritan. For all the good it did me...damn zombie... :)

    "This game will bury you" vs. "This game is a flash-in-the-pan"!

    I feel I have to put a vote in here for my favorite non-D&D/d20 game and that would be Shadowrun. It's been around since the late '80s and has a pretty devoted fanbase. It doesn't put out too many books, but those that are put out are among the most entertaining to read game books of any...

    OOC Discussion for Kingdom of Ashes (Leaving Queens, Breaking Swords, & Snake Chicks)

    Kaereth can do lawful damage, according to the rules under ki strike, which, as I understand it from what it says (which is vague) is a constant, not something one turns on and off. Specifically, it states: "At 4th level...unarmed attacks are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of dealing...

    How to play a PC dumb and wise...

    Well, my current character is in precisely the same situation, only higher level. A half-orc monk, he has an Int: 6 and a Wis: 21. It is a challenge, but also very entertaining. I keep him pretty quiet and he doesn't do much planning, but I don't limit him when it comes to advice. He's not...

    World Cup Hockey!!!

    So, congrats to Canada! Looked like a pretty close game, but I couldn't tell, having missed most of it because of class. Anyone got some thoughts for a poor hockey-less grad student? :lol: Fortunately, I have 17 days before the puck drops on the 2004-05 NCAA hockey season and I have to say...

    OOC Discussion for Kingdom of Ashes (Leaving Queens, Breaking Swords, & Snake Chicks)

    That's PFC. Just FYI. :) Yes, I am that big of a military nerd. Although recently I've had trouble remembering that First Sergeant is 1SG...not sure why. Why anyone here would care, I'm sure I'll never know...but there it is.

    Your favorite older edition products

    I only started playing in '94 or so, so I only got inon 2E, but my favorite books there were the Complete Druid's Handbook, which was awesome because it made Druids into so much more than just the typical forest-dwelling nature-lovers that they are so often regarded as. It was my favorite 2E...

    A Kingdom of Ashes (Zombies! Pirates! Giant Lizards! Intrigue!) UPDATED 07/01/05!!

    As it should, as it should. :) Look forward to the next update whenever it should appear. :D I'm enjoying it muchly, no matter the accuracy compared to my own feeble memory of the events. ;) Again, great job!

    A Kingdom of Ashes (Zombies! Pirates! Giant Lizards! Intrigue!) UPDATED 07/01/05!!

    Whoo! Looks good, there Kennon! Only I remember that zombie taking a lot longer to kill... :p Kaereth couldn't hit the broadside of a barn that day. :D
