The following are the three Traveller scenarios I've submitted for Gen Con Indianapolis 2008. Traveller OGL: Return of the Chamax Synopsis: In this homage to a Traveller Classic, a ship bearing the dreaded Chamax crashes on the surface of an inhabited planet, putting the population in peril...

If you decide later that it needs its own thread, please post a link here at least, so that we know where to go. :) With Regards, Flynn

As an update: I have now submitted three Traveller events for this coming Gen Con. :) With Regards, Flynn

Once you get the rules, read through the book pretty thoroughly. It's a very simple system, and they pack a lot in those few pages, but it all works very well together to make a great and cohesive game. The book may not read well for you (it did for me, but others have said that the first time...

My pleasure. One of the biggest reasons I am writing this is because I wanted a thread like this when I was first researching Savage Worlds. I wanted to be able to see that the system does not interfere with, and it even easily supported, fantasy games in the vein that I am accustomed to...

I definitely am looking forward to 4E Modern, or whatever it is going to be called. Consider me another interested party. I think it would be pretty interesting to see a four-class setup based on roles, and then later books can expand on the concept through power sources and the like. Just...

I used to game with a guy that did this kind of thing all the time, no matter who the DM was. He wanted to be the lone wolf, beholding to none, and bucking the "party leader" and the party as a consequence. Now, every time I game with him, I make him the leader. I follow his character...

My campaigns average just about two years in length. A long-term campaign for me runs about 3-4 years, with One Shots to follow it up occasionally over the next few years (but that's probably only because I moved, else it would have lasted more than five years.) I rarely plan to run a campaign...

If it helps, I have run a Grim Tales Sword & Planet campaign that took characters from 4th level all the way up to 16th over the course of 16 months or so. The system handled it very well, the characters were robust and unique because they had control over when they took talents, and the players...

Session Notes - 01/30/2008 Good Morning, All: Another week has passed and it's time for notes on yesterday's session. Due to illness, we were down to four players instead of our usual five (Yngvar's player was still recovering from the flu), but we moved forward well enough. In this session...

If you write it, they will buy... ;) Hoping Some Third Party Publisher Runs With That Idea, Flynn

Son Of Thunder: The next session is tonight, so I should be posting the next update tomorrow morning or afternoon. The party has a number of directions they can go, but their general intent is to head south to Newport, avoid contact with anyone who has the Red Death, find a boat, and sail out...

Nice work, Moniker! I like the presentation. Glad to hear you are enjoying the game! Here in Austin, there's a gaming group that is starting a Fantasy Concepts campaign this month, so I'm happy to see that more people are enjoying the system. Thanks for sharing, Flynn

I have similar thoughts, as I am currently a Savage Worlds convert, and can get the entire gaming system for $10. The prep issues from 3E/v3.5 were enough to make me look for a simpler yet cinematic system, and I found my ideal gaming experience through the Savage Worlds rules set. However...

Oh, that's nice. I like that. Hmmm... I'll see if I can fit it on my table, along with everything else. Thanks for the suggestion! With Regards, Flynn

I can verify Gothmog's statements above, except for the Horror Toolkits, because I have not had the chance to check them out yet. (Give me a bit, though, and I'm sure I will.) I would suggest, at a minimum, the following for a fantasy game: Gear, Worldbuilding. The Bestiary is great, but if you...

I thought it said that WOTC got non-exclusive rights. Doesn't that mean that you can still publish it and they have nothing to stand on, because your content is not exclusively theirs? In fact, the material still remains yours, and they just get permission to use what you've posted without...

Oops, I forgot to answer this previously! We use the Savage Worlds: Explorer's Edition, so we are using the newer damage rules. Regarding the corrupted ent (or arboration, as the players now call it), the ent only had Fighting d4, so its Parry was already quite low. Add to that the fact that...

From the sets that I have seen, they can be difficult to read in poor lighting. If you have poor eyesight or play in poorly lit conditions, you might want to check a set out in person before ordering. Hope This Helps, Flynn

Thanks, Gothmog, for capturing those additional points so eloquently for us. I think my biggest challenge as a GM in Savage Worlds is remembering to award bennies in the middle of the game for outstanding moments. I need to do more of that, and it's hard to keep it in mind as things are flowing...
