Oooh, even better: page count, but alphabetically. So 80 before 432 before 128 before 16 before 272...

Page count.

I'll copy over my post from the other thread. GURPS Technomancer is a nice bit of genius IMO. It's just too bad it's extremely strongly tied to the GURPS system. The idea is that the first nuclear test explosion created some kind of rift that increases the ambient mana in the world, turning...

GURPS Technomancer is a nice bit of genius IMO. It's just too bad it's extremely strongly tied to the GURPS system. The idea is that the first nuclear test explosion created some kind of rift that increases the ambient mana in the world, turning the world from the "normal" low-mana real world...

I'm pretty sure GURPS 3e had a specific mention of how getting around Cannot Speak/Mute via telepathy meant you didn't get any points for Cannot Speak (but I can't be bothered to look it up). I did check 4e and it does not have such a mention, and it even implies that compensating for it is OK –...

TORG, in addition to having Possibilities as metacurrency as well as cards that let PCs influence things, has built-in narrative mechanics. The biggest is that each invading realm has its own Axioms and World Laws. Axioms determine how advanced that realm is in various ways (Spiritual, Magical...

My main group is, in theory, playing three hours a week. We often get started a little late so call it 2½. We sometimes have to cancel because too many people have other things come up, but we've easily played more than 3/4 of the 43 weeks so far this year so call it 32 x 2.5 = 80 hours. This...

I'm not sure it's about edgy characters. Well, that's part of it, but I also think that the players who do like to play fundamentally good-hearted characters like playing characters who choose good. They aren't good because they have some kind of inherent good instincts inherited from celestial...

They're over in Draw Steel.

My understanding is that 4e had great initial sales, partially because people were curious about the new weird thing, and partially because they released all the core books at the same time and Amazon had an amazing deal on a gift set containing all three – to the point where it was cheaper for...

Yes.

Right, but the point is that Frodo was not the one who succeeded. It was luck – or if you prefer, providence. In a way, the situation is similar to a Magic player who's finds themselves in a really bad situation because of matchup or whatever, and draws just the right niche card to fix things...

The difference is that 30 years ago, Wizards paid $25M for TSR (and Five Rings Publishing Group, but I'm guessing that was a fairly marginal part) and it got into the hands of Peter Adkison who was, all things considered, a fairly cool dude. Not perfect by any means, but fairly cool. Today, D&D...

It's not a source for professional purposes, but for personal use it's good enough. And if you need more, the articles are usually very well sourced to places that are good sources.

The thing is, Frodo didn't have the strength for it. At the end, he couldn't throw the ring into Mount Doom. He got close, but no pipe. What saved them was Gollum becoming overcome by his desire for the Precious, biting off Frodo's finger, and then falling into the volcano. That's the...

You mean Giles's brother? I'm sure they'd be thrilled at that comparison.

Another major difference in 4e is that all careers have a built-in staked-out career path, looking like this: The characteristics marked with a cross are the ones you can advance at level 1, with the copper crossed axes, the silver skull, and the gold shield becoming available at levels 2, 3...
