1) I am not trying to sell a fantasy game. My main point has been simply that there is a market for a HARP type game (especially because of its flexibility, as I understand it) and tangentially, there are more than a few people looking for something different from d20. Most of my negativity is...

You seem to have this "d20 but better" notion stuck in your head and I think you do a great disservice to those that are dissatisfied with aspects of the d20 system that what they're looking for is what d20 provides but better. Whatever that means. I think a lot of people are more interested...

Aha, the numbers reminded me of another difference. In SR it's the number of successes garnered on the dice (a TN of 4 is average and 10 is considered near impossible) versus an opponents successes to determine the success of combat, social interaction etc. Singular actions simply require a...

In this case it is entirely because of player actions with a clear acceptance of the consequences. While I think a TPK is quite unlikely, surprises do happen. Just want to make sure that it's clear that the DM did not railroad us in any way. Heck, the whole situation is the result of us...

I think the market any of these types of games is looking to fill is those gamers who have tired of rigidness of the d20 system and want something different. A lot of those gamers are playing d20. HARP doesn't need to take over 50% of d20 marketshare, it just needs to develop a following among...

I was tooling around on dumpshock earlier today and saw something that suggested the major difference is that in d6 all tests were open ended (ie roll a 6 and keep rolling), while in SR most situations require a roll against a target number that is ten or less. I can't remember if it was here...

I have a bunch having lived all over this continent: I was born a Louisianian, dabbled with being a Tennesseean and then ended up a Floridian for a bit (my parents are both natives, my mom being from Pre-Disney World Orlando...it's an important distinction), before I moved north and grew up a...

I admit my comments are somewhat colored by the frustrations of my current experience, which has been 9 or 10 months of trying to get certain members of my current group (which is a great group and I enjoy playing with them very much) to try anything new (in particular Shadowrun which is my game...

Because spell check hates you. Hates you I say! Or...it's a cover up by big business Microsoft, which is controlled by the Morgans and Rothschilds who don't want to give any clues of their European connections by making spellcheck work well when confronted with European phrases. Covering...

I disagree. I have both looked at many systems and played many and I don't think you can really comment on how well or poorly one runs until one has played it a few times. This does not mean one cannot get a feel for the game and decide if it's "right" for you and your group after a careful...

Coup de Grace, Coup de Grace! :D That said, I will be very disappointed if we have another round of DM mercy. We all knew what we were going into with this and what the consequences would be. We all knew it and we all accepted it. It's about time we stopped pussyfooting around the...

Kaereth is 23. Not much more to be said than that... :p

Just finished reading through it and I just wanted to commend you on a great job, Shadowdancer. I must admit, I tend to be more of an action gamer, but I find the style of this campaign most intriguing. Great job!

In my campaign aspects from BoED were attempted by some and it had an overall negative effect. Make sure your players are interested as a whole in being exalted. Nothing gets more annoying to other players than some goody-goody, wannabe exalted screwing things up because they have to be...

I'd like to sign up for: Morning: Table 1: Swords in the Mist and Afternoon: Table 6: HARP with the Creator

As I recall and understand it, Miagi was going to serve as his protector. There was never any mention of bringing him to Hyrwl, which, IMO would only endanger him needlessly. Indeed, along those lines, it may be safer for Ryoko if we don't go to One Oak. I don't think that thought deters...

Y'all can confirm me, as well. I intend to be there, even if I have to Metro up there. :p

I'm pretty sure I'm off on Monday, since that's when the Federal Government takes off and CSIS follows their lead. So I'm definitely up for then. Even if we don't play KoA. :D Does anyone else think "Kampers of America" everytime they see that? No? *sigh*

See, now it makes sense. Although it seems to be ignoring the movement rules in the DMG, but that's a DM decision, which generally suggests 24 miles per day over average terrain. I may have been recalling the distance between Hyrwl and Oceanus incorrectly, but I had thought it was 30 miles...

Did anyone actually bother to read my post? Or comment on the time sets, both for what we can project the army's movement is? How long are we there waiting for the Black Orcs? I know it sucks to have someone who actually can conceive of this stuff in a realistic way and gets irritated with...
