There are probably more B&W interior game books available now than color. And it's also much cheaper to produce perfect-bound books than hardbound ones. Even White Wolf's books aren't true full-color; they're usually black ink with one other color. I think the problem is that WotC is the...

Do you want all of the stuff that comes with HERO, though? There are many modern RPGs that hit exactly the right notes for the shows you're talking about, without the extensive character sheets and broad generic rules. Unknown Armies, Over the Edge, the GUMSHOE system (from Trail of Cthulhu...

It's always good to go with what you're used to if the published rules don't click! You should check out the recently released Big Damn Heroes Handbook, though. Tons of stuff in there that's system-neutral. Cheers, Cam

Not only is there a "generic" Cortex System RPG, but you get a free copy of the PDF with it when you buy the print copy. We've got fans using Cortex for all sorts of licenses and settings, from Stargate: SGU to Dresden Files and Farscape. And of course Supernatural is our latest official...

Halloween has come early at Margaret Weis Productions with the PDF release of Supernatural Adventures! This anthology of five action-packed monster hunting jobs is the perfect thing for your Supernatural campaign. You can pick it up at the RPGNow store and be up and running in no time! For more...

Given how much Square Enix is inspired by D&D to begin with (Bahamut, Tiamat, just to give two perfectly fine mythological yet iconic examples) I don't think a lawyer would have much to go on. I'm also kind of floored by "but nobody would know how to pronounce it." This is D&D, people. It...

New games are coming out all the time. We released Supernatural this year, a year that also saw a dozen or more brand new RPGs with thriving fanbases, as well as new editions of older games. As Chris Pramas says, it may be that the perception in the retail market is that games and game...

Demon Hunters would be ideal. Supernatural would also work, and it has zombies in it! I ran a Supernatural event yesterday at Madison Games Day II with the GhostFacers as the hunters. I think GhostFacers vs. Zombies would be tons of fun. Cheers, Cam

Since there are apparently others who would love to jump in on the Great Pumpkin, Sam Winchester promotion for this month, here's the link! http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/index.php?discount=18202 It expires at the end of October, so jump on it before hell freezes over. Or, you know. It expires...

So, did everybody who wanted it get their DriveThru email regarding the October Supernatural discount? Now that I've finally figured out how it's supposed to work... Cheers, Cam

Hi there! There should have been a discount code in the e-mail. I'll re-send those out. Thanks! Cheers, Cam

If by anyone you mean me, then I can give you a rough idea. We want Supernatural Adventures to go to press mid-October. We'd like Guide to the Hunted to go to press end of November. If they're approved, that's when the PDF goes on sale at DriveThruRPG. The books go into distribution channels...

If you want to try the game out or just take a look at how our rules work, you can download the free Supernatural RPG quickstart, The Hunt Begins, from DriveThruRPG. It includes pregenerated characters, rules, and an adventure. Cheers, Cam

The Guide to the Hunted covers the first four seasons of monsters, including the angels, as well as curses, magic, additional rules on rituals, monster creation (which isn't that hard in Cortex, all things considered) and monsters as hunters. Before that, however, we have an anthology of five...

Takhisis, who the current Tiamat obviously has some feedback loop into, seeks to conquer everything. She basically wants to be the one in charge. This isn't a Chaotic Evil thing, it's a corporate villain kind of thing, and is therefore perfect for Evil. She's like Doctor Doom or Fu Manchu or any...

I saw the Rolemaster influence most strongly in the skill system, too. Rolemaster's skill system uses rank + ability score modifier + modifiers from other sources + d100, and other than dividing the d100 by 5 the d20 version is the same. Now, there's no chart or table in d20, but you don't...

Although I liked everything we put out, I think that book was one of the more essential ones. It was a ton of fun to write up some gods and see them all come together in a single book, organic and at times contradictory. Cheers, Cam

I would break down the series into what you think a game that represents it should have in it. It's easy to come up with a generic rules set and use it to write up sparkly vampires and brooding werewolves, but you might end up bringing all of the essentials to the table yourself (through...

Serenity doesn't require rolling lots of dice, but it does use dice of all sizes other than 20-sided dice. I think for newcomers that's kind of a novelty, though. Our Cortex system is very quick to learn and all that you need is on the character sheets. You might try grabbing the BSG Quickstart...

Sheet ghouls and sheet phantoms. Oh noes! It's haunted bedlinen! Cheers, Cam
