Rolemaster is a fine game if you don't mind the overall slowness in resolving the action. Iron Crown [www.ironcrown.com] currently publishes two editions of the game: RMFRP and RMC. The former is a repackage of RMSS and I don't recommend it to anyone as the bookeeping is too intense and the...

I have a PS3 and a Wii and I am very satisfied with both of them. I considered buying a XBox 360 by the time it was released but I gave up because of Microsoft's poor record in quality control, lack of wireless built-in, lack of a blu-ray player, and limited free online support. Even...

Torment and the two Baldur's Gate games for the PC were pretty good, especially the first one. I am currently playing Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn for the Wii and it is excellent.

It is definitely in my shopping list.

Interesting, the top three favourites (based in % of liked) are the three main setting books: Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 79.7% Living Greyhawk Gazetteer 75.5% Eberron Campaign Setting 72.5% Unfortunately, the remaining accessories disappointed the...

Thanks for the tip, I found some information there. Time of Troubles was pretty lame, the reason why I think the grey box was the best FR setting ever published. Also, I am not surprised he still uses 2nd edition, there are quite a lot of people that prefer older editions -- I prefer B/X...

Thanks for the tip. However, it is a paid site, is there anything available free of charge?

I wrote an extensive document years ago in collaboration with two other players. It is lost now but I recall the main points: Standard ability scores taken from D&D Short round duration taken from D&D Some spells, such as Fly, were deleted from game Many spells were moved to higher level, in...

There are a few sites giving little bits of Gygax's Greyhawk campaign and how it differs from the published version. Is any information out there about how Greenwood's Forgotten Realms actually was? It seems that TSR added pieces from other authors to fill the spaces, such as Niles' Moonshae...

I have no insider information but publishers have not much of an option here. Anyone who don't purchase an early OGL license will be poorly positioned in the D&D market in the second semester and will skip Christmas sales.

I recall Microsoft saying the industry average to be 3-5% but I don't believe them, I think it is much lower. Game consoles are to be compared to consumer electronics industries and I would guess their average is much closer to Sony's PS3, otherwise TV sets wouldn't be sold with several years...

I really think this battle was already decided a few months back when Blockbuster decided to give much more support to Blu-Ray than HD-DVD. Still, I pretty much satisfied with normal DVD quality and, thus, I have no hurry to buy a new player or to replace my DVD collection.

How this work out? Am I right in understand they are selling a subscription of an online service that would allow me to read any Marvel comics published after a six months lag? This sounds like a terrific deal.

Interesting how the all the original versions fared much better than its sequels. I liked the original Forgotten Realms and Ravenloft boxes and the Known World Gazetteers series, although I don't care much for the updated editions. My single exception is Greyhawk, in which I like From the Ashes...

I will wait till is released in my country -- which is usually pretty quick. Hopefully they will withdraw the ridiculous limiting re-installing license before that.

This is a game I became less and less interested while it was hyped more and more. I am attracted by the cool graphic design but it seems, based in the reviews I read, I'll not be draw by the storyline as I don't really enjoy to play a game that forces you to do evil acts to keep going (although...

I agree entirely. I had a hard time convincing my dad to buy me AD&D back in 1983. He argued that three large books and a set of dice not only was expensive but, also, sounded too much for a game. He was more inclined to buy me basic and expert boxes, which he found more of his liking, exactly...

You certainly are not familiar with games such as Call of Cthulhu or HERO. Even Wizards has showed us that they can fit a complete d20 game in a single volume, as they have done with d20 Modern, Star Wars, and The Wheel of Time. The three books system is basically a lucrative tradition.

Other: I originally like it a lot but, after a while, the excessive care for details and the great number of exceptions, such as the feats, ruined the game to me. I stopped playing it even before 3.5.
