This is REALLY cool. Thanks for posting this!

Haven't missed GenCon in years and won't start now. Running a lot of unofficial games from the room, hosting a party, attending some parties and so on. GenCon has somehow become the busiest week of the year for me. As it turns out, I think I'm only playing in 1 game. :(

One last humble request before voting ends tonight! Please go vote - and while you're there, cast your ballot for Matthew Muth for judge!

I run supers game so puzzles is something I like to go back to, as well. Somewhere I have a bunch of puzzle things that I have used over the years but can't for the life of me, remember where they are. But the point is, a lot of Batman comics with Riddler (I know, I know, riddles are not...

Wow. I never actually thought of that before. I think you're right even though I have not had a lot of exposure to Exalted, I certainly know what you're talking about.

They'll certainly BE a 5e (unless, of course, you believe in the 2012 prophecy but they're won't be a 5e for different reasons). Gaming is like a business and the next generation of product is always on the minds of the decision makers as that is how profits grow. Though, I would imagine...

I really liked Divine and Defeated and I liked all their critter books. But as mentioned - correctly - they kind of lost some of the editorial control over things and then they seemed to slide downhill.

I do think the idea of 'Greek Mythology' seems like what they were going for. Much as I did not like some of how their cosmology was executed, what I certainly DID appreciate is how far they tried to go with it and generate a really detailed story with their gods. Mountain ranges the results...

How much 'superspy' stuff do you want? 60's James Bond or something close to Mission Impossible? My personal preference is the James Bond kind of over-the-top antics but want to see what you were really after.

jdrakeh Like you, Ravenloft if one of my favorites, conceptually. And also like you I always thought the execution left something to be desired. It was almost as if you took the old Universal Studios monsters and just decided you were going to base the world off some of the sequels. Though...

For the record, I am totally down with Marshmallow the familiar. Oddly, I am not really down with Marshmallow flavored items. And I am REALLY not down with specific ones, namely Peeps.

This, I can dig. Was this Supers or D&D?

Uh ho. Were you playing Mazes and Monsters?

I get the vibe you're going with here. Silly names are a slippery slope. But a familiar . . . you might be able to cut them a little slack on it. Familiars are often two steps away from being cute anyway. I'm playing a character from kind of a Ravenloft type world and he's a wizard, but the...

So Oryan77, are you typically the GM or the player? I guess when these things happen, over the years I have managed to not argue but I do the next 'best' thing and get a little passive-aggressive and snarky. Even that I don't do as much as I used to. I think the real crux of my position is...

I liked their world, but like you, Treebore, I never liked that Titans thing, either. The cosmology was something that I could tell they put a lot of work into but it almost seemed, well, contrived. Like they were forcing some kind of complex story. But at the same time, I liked their...

Wow. Some of those complaints are nit-picky. I am kind of surprised you have flown off the handle a few times. one of the biggest complaints or whining I used to get was when people would make assumptions, ran with them, were upset when they did not pan out, and presumed I was doing something...

I, myself, don't believe in dice superstitions but my players have built one up with one of the d20s I use for Mutants & Masterminds. Its a fairly large d20, blue and is known as 'Big Blue.' I think the superstition is built up around the idea that they seem to remember every time it rolls a...

I'd like to think I am some kind of altruistic guy who wants nothing more than to generate some story that will entertain and delight my friends once a week. But, as was pointed out in the initial post, its probably a mix of things. On one hand, there are very few games that I would not run...

Well, there is nothing - absolutely NOTHING - wrong with some Fallout: New Vegas, but I see where that is important to bring up. :) Was she the only one in the group who had such a rabid, well, anti-role playing stance? Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it and maybe we're beating a dead...
