    [from my Transhuman Space game on March 1st] a very different kind of epic fantasy...

    ...using a hard science fiction setting & GURPS: On Saturday (March 1st) I've started a campaign that was born from the GURPS Greece / Transhuman Space crossover idea from ITW [all PCs live in the High Arcadia theme park in Mars orbit: and they - and the players - really believe to be in mythic...

    3.5 Revision you're most looking forward to?

    The Ranger stuff - just so I can get all warm & fuzzy from nostalgia when the "THE RANGER GOT THE SHAFT!!!" threads begin popping up around here... ;)

    Space Shuttle Columbia lost?

    seconded - this should motivate us to put more effort into manned space travel, not less: we owe it to them, ourselves, and our children.

    Does D&D combat break the fantasy?

    ...that's why all my players (12-16, age 19-36, 75% female, 30-40% with martial arts experience) tend to prefer GURPS for their fantasy.

    Best and Worst Settings?

    my favorite settings are always my homebrews - but if you're asking for mass-market stuff... non-licensed: >BEST - GURPS Madness Dossier (from GURPS Horror 3e): cool enough to be superconducting! - GURPS Cabal: the WoD done right (plus a great magic system) - Transhuman Space - Blue...

    Your Playing Group - Do You Like It?

    I love my group... ...except for one player, and the b*!§$ is one the way out (but I'd prefer it if she would just quit on her own...) So: I'm hiring new players - if you happen to be in Germany (somewhere near Cologne, Düsseldorf, or Wuppertal) and looking for a game...

    DM die rolls: out in the open or behind the screen?

    I roll out in the open - always have, always will. I'd be *very* reluctant to play with a GM who does otherwise...

    Sell me a campaign setting! Now!

    ok guys: I'm now convinced that the Scarred Lands are the right setting for us - even if my new GM should decide to run something else, I will probably start a SL campaign someday (as I should since I've just ordered 10 books for this setting...) ;) So - thanks for your help!

    Sell me a campaign setting! Now!

    thanks guys! So far I've got three favorites: (in no particular order) Scarred Lands (though it seems to lack a variety in cultures) Greyhawk (I'd love to play through the RttToeE in this!) Iron Kingdoms (very cool - if the steampunk elements aren't to much of a turn-off for the other...

    Sell me a campaign setting! Now!

    A friend and former player of mine (who is currently living in NYC) has decided to start his first own campaign in October 2003 (i.e. when he will be back here in Germany) - and I get to play! :D And it gets better: he's asking the players (to be precise: the 2 players who are his old D&D GMs)...

    What's wrong with being good?

    nope - "Winter is coming" is from G.R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, and the "Julia" stuff is from a "Which Cowboy Bebop Character Are You?" test that you can find here: http://selectsmart.com/FREE/select.php?client=cathryn
