I would be remiss if I didn't list the following game engines that can easily support pulp (bearing in mind that pulp covers a wide range of genres, all with a similar style), and do so right out of the box: * Grim Tales, by Bad Axe Games * Savage Worlds, by Pinnacle Entertainment/Great White...

I'm going to playtest it before making a decision. After the current campaign ends in a year or three, it'll either be Savage Worlds or 4E, and I won't know which until I get the chance to play a little 4E first. With Regards, Flynn

I think I passed the $1000 mark within the first two years of 3E, given the number of splatbooks, monster manuals, core books, campaign settings, etc., that I'd picked up by then. I hit book buying burnout (BBB) somewhere in Year 3 or 4, I think, and slowed down quite a bit. I would guess that...

Every new campaign I run tends to be set in a new world, so it will definitely be homebrew. Likely, I will use many of the standard races from the book, although the dragonborn will likely be portrayed as a frontier race that are encroaching on settled territories. Also, the tieflings will all...

I'd be interested in seeing your SRD file once it is compiled. Do you have plans to post it somewhere? Or will you make it available on request? With Regards, Flynn

You might want to bring this up over in the 4E section. There is a higher concentration of ENWorlders there that are dealing with similar thoughts and concerns, and are more likely to give you some feedback based on their own considerations. Just a thought, Flynn

There are something like 58 new spells in the Fantasy World Builders Toolkit. You may also want to check out the following fan conversions for their powers and Edges and such: Savage Fantasy http://www.savageheroes.com/conversions/Savage_Fantasy.pdf Savage Warcraft...

The Archer is my best guess at a martial controller. It makes the most sense to me, and has an extensive history in D&D, ranging back to the old Archer NPC class in the early days of Dragon. A controller tends to be ranged, and since there are no other ranged classes as yet that aren't magically...

I honestly think this is the reason why so many have suffered 3E Burnout over the last year or so: the game reached a point where it was far too much work for the DM in many cases. The simplification of the DM's job is perhaps the single biggest selling point of the entire change in editions for...

You might consider selling your extract as a "4E Publisher's Aide", if you are going to go through all that trouble. I mean, you only need to charge a buck or two, and it would definitely help make your efforts worthwhile. Just A Thought, Flynn

I can definitely say that if the GSL does not allow a company to release its own previously OGL content under the GSL, then I will have to re-examine my personal decision to purchase the 4E core books, as I can guarantee that I wouldn't want to support that kind of decision. Honestly, though, I...

A little Google Fu on the item turned up a mention that it was converted to 3E terms in Magic of Faerun, pg 156, but not in v3.5. The abilities given appear to be: continually protects wearer with mind blank, a constant effect similar to that of freedom of movement, and turns six spells per day...

The Update... After hearing back from the three players that are still feeling well enough to game, one of them felt that he did not want to go into Plague Central... er, uh, Newport... without a full party. With that news, there will be no game this week, and we'll resume matters next...

I put most of what I wanted out of a 3.75 into Fantasy Concepts, truth be told. I'm really enjoying Savage Worlds right now, but if I had to go back and do a 3.75, I'd probably start with FC and do the following: * Add AC back in, as I like it being distinct from Reflex Scores; * Streamline...

Although I started with Traveller at age 16, I got my copy of the AD&D 1st Edition PHB that same year for Christmas, and finally found a group to game with the year after that. It was the fall of 1986, and because I read voraciously, I soon knew more about the game than our GM... big mistake...

We play every Wednesday night, so tonight is the night. However, two of my players have reported that they are sick, so I'm polling the other three to see if they still want to game tonight. I'll Post An Update Later, Flynn

I am interested, but not motivated enough to want to get this book as yet. I think I'm going to wait to read the first few reviews of it before I make a decision on whether or not to pick it up. Part of that decision will probably involve "how much of it is OGL" as well. With Regards, Flynn

Yeah, the Hilton's suites are HUGE! You'll be quite comfy there, and will even have room for a friend or seven. See Everyone There, Flynn

I went with UA, because of the incredible versatility of its components. I have used quite a bit of it in my 3E and D20 games: Action Points, Weapon Groups, Players Roll All The Dice, and so on. It's just the most versatile and useful book of the bunch. (Although Tome of Horrors did come a very...

Thanks! You won't need any experience with the system. I have introduced many to various forms of Traveller in recent years, and I always plan on doing so for Con games. :) I will warn you, though. My Traveller games always sell out fast (because I'm usually the only one that runs them at Gen...
