It depends on which player you ask: Yngvar likes it for the simplicity and streamlined nature of the rules, the great diversity of actions and subsystems covered in the book (and still remain streamlined), the fact that a character can be fully detailed on an index card, and the fact that you...

While I would third the Savage Worlds vote, if you want d20 and level-based magic, I'd also suggest Grim Tales by Bad Axe Games. It can do what you are looking for, and quite easily. There's a lot of support here on these boards that can help with the project, including the author. Hope This...

The fight lasted less than an hour, and the resolution was quick and painless. It was 11 bad guys vs five PCs. As you can see, the encounter took almost as long as a D20 encounter, but still somewhat faster than I expected, and there were more turns and thus more action over the course of the...

If you like what you are reading, please feel free to post some form of feedback to let me know. Like many others on these boards, I find...

Session Notes - 01/23/08 Good Morning, All: Below is a brief discussion of last night's Savage Worlds game set in my Kintara homebrew. As you can tell, most of it was offering the party a lot of adventure hooks, but they still got in a little action. A few lucky die rolls turned what appeared...

Good Morning, All: As usual, the wheel of the year turns and once more we are at the point where I must consider ideas for the adventures I will be running at Gen Con Indy this summer. Event submission begins in a few weeks, and in order to insure a place for my games, I will have to submit...

Good Afternoon, All: Does anyone know when Necromancer Games' 4E products will become available for pre-order on Amazon.com? With Regards, Flynn

Tome of Horrors Revised (Necromancer Games) Unearthed Arcana (WOTC) Advanced Bestiary (Green Ronin) With Regards, Flynn

Necromancer Games will be releasing an Advanced Player's Guide in August that will let you keep your gnome PCs going, and more easily translate character concepts that aren't covered by the core rules. It may be easier than you think, given their claim to include all the old classes and races...

What? No mention of the Cavalier in a 1E class discussion? *tsk, tsk* Also, I'd love to see some of the 2E classes come in as well: specialist wizards (except that they are truely specialists), or customizable specialty priests. Heck, even spellcasting classes from the 2E Tome of Magic or even...

The big day is tomorrow! Yay! We've also got a new game on the schedule, so there's plenty of Savage Worlds goodness to go around. See Ya There, Flynn * * * * * Plunder of the Pirate Queen by Jason "Flynn" Kemp Genre: Fantasy Synopsis: The Pirate Queen, Veridia the Red, has been arrested and...

Dragon Magazine, either #118 or #119, talked a lot about jousting, tournaments, gladiatorial combat and the like, which provided great sport for the time periods on which fantasy games were originally based. Also, for 2nd Edition, TSR released an adventure pack which had one adventure focused...

Will this forum discuss other OGL products aside from 4E? Traveller is getting ready to go OGL soon: http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/news/news_item.php?pkid_news=166&PHPSESSID=7b6fd60a379429966d9aec58d73cb884 And if I recall correctly, the D6 System might be doing the same...

Do you have any suggestions as to who does produce that kind of adventure on a regular basis? I sometimes think that most of the adventures out there are dungeon crawls and the like because it is significantly easier to right a good dungeon crawl than it is to write a roleplaying-focused...

Nice! This latest set of pics look awesome, Traycor! You definitely capture the sense of speed with the two action shots... With Regards, Flynn

Session Notes - 01/16/08 Good Morning, All: Yesterday, we wrapped up "The Weeping Tree" adventure, and saved a halfling village from the rampages of a spurned vampire priestess. It was a fun adventure, and the big fight against Mistress Kaerna went longer than I expected for Savage Wordls, but...

Nope. No one has come up and said they didn't like it, or seemed offended by it. Instead, all the comments have basically been "Cool" and "Where did you get that?" The year we made them, a vender even stopped us to ask about it and make some mental notes. I never heard if he started making his...

Good Morning, All: The extended gaming group I belong to likes to make fun T-Shirts for big events that we attend together, such as Gen Con. As we begin to discuss our plans, we are now looking for some new T-Shirt ideas that we can create for our group. With that in mind, I figure I'd check...

There was a fantastic article in Dragon magazine somewhere around 185-205 that detailed the native american culture for 2nd Edition. I would suggest reviewing that, if you can find it. Think of the thoughts on kits as either PrCs or feat chains, and see what you can come up with. Good Luck, Flynn

Among my friends and the groups we play in, I've seen the following: * I now run the weekly sessions of my new campaign in Savage Worlds, because I don't like the GM Prep overhead of 3E/v3.5 and I want to keep out of the whole "4E Reset" issue when the new rules come out. * I still run One...
