If you're going to present a problem, present a solution to go along with it, otherwise, you're not actually saying anything.

Mutants & Masterminds. Superhero stuff. There's an adventure in the book and it's a VERY easy to run RPG for DMs. I haven't had less book keeping since I ran Children of Fire years ago. I've fallen in love with this thing.

Mutants and Masterminds

Hope you're feeling better soon, Gary!

While this is entirely your opinion, and I respect that, I'm just curious what your opinion on this stuff would be (check out the audio and video under Show & Tell): http://www.buck65.com It strikes me as being somewhat removed from the whole hate stuff.

For fantasy games I primarily use instrumental music (as of late it's been E.S Posthumus and Apocalyptica), and some rock here and there. I find that hip hop would likely break the mood I'm aiming for, but that's just me. On the flip side, I would probably use quite a bit of rap and whatnot...

Gaming: Sunday afternoon (1pm - 5pm), Monday night (8:30pm - 12am), and Wednesday night (8pm - 12am) Where: Online (players in Toronto and Montreal) Setting: Forgotten Realms, Mutants & Masterminds, and (currently) Warcraft, respectively. The Wednesday night slot changes games every 5 sessions...

Personally, I've found that handling epic battles in an ultra-simple fashion works best. For instance, if the players are soldiers in the battle, then the entire battle depends on their performance. If they take brutal hits and start losing pretty bad, so will their side (may people dying, etc)...

Born in 1981 (it was my birthday the other day too! :)), started playing in 1991. I'm what you'd classify as new blood, I guess.

Alrighty, 4-member level 20 group vs CR9 creature. Old system made static CR 9 creature: 2700xp XP a party member gets from the encounter: 675xp XP required for that character to attain level 21: 20000xp Percentage of XP required to rise in level: 3.38% New static system CR 9 creature: 7200xp...

I suppose I wasn't as clear as I should've been, and for that I'm sorry. ;) What I'm rambling about above isn't the fact that XP awards are static, but the fact that the awards differ numerically from their original counterparts. Proportionately, you can get the same result as the new static XP...

I was looking over Unearthed Arcana, wondering which variants I'd like to make use of for my upcoming Warcraft campaign, and I noticed something odd about the alternate XP system. Why, exactly, do they have an alternate XP table if the awards are proporionately the same as XP awards were before...

The more I plan, the worse off the game is. My longest lasting and most entertaining campaigns have little to no planning. All I need really is a general idea of what the overall plot is and I go from there. It's even worse if I use a pre-written adventure, actually.

I find the general style to be interesting and evocative of one's imagination far more than any old Easley or Elmore picture, and Elmore's always been one of my favorite artists. I also don't agree with the statments that the art is anime-like. It's not. Not all of it, anyway. In recent FR...

I really like the new art. Like Joshua, I think it emphasizes the Fantasy aspect of the game. It really sparks players' imaginations because it reminds them that your longsword doesn't need to look like every other longsword, etc.

As long as you have the Dungeon Mag article, d20 Modern, and the Menace Manual, you've pretty much got Dark Matter right there. What exactly would one need to convert that doesn't already have a published equivalent?

I would really love an official published D&D campaign setting for Lodoss War. Anachronox the RPG would kick all kinds of rear-facing-things. Firefly. Just had RPG written all over it from day 1. Witch Hunter Robin. Excellent anime. If you haven't seen it, I don't know what you're doing on...

Excellent job, and it was very wise not to steal the win from them. They're as much masters of the destiny of the game as you. My recommendation would be that this one alchemist was simply one of many. The tip of the iceberg, if you will. If they learn that there's a whole cult out there doing...

Yes, my group is extremely superstitious about dice and everyone has their own set. I personally have two sets, one soapy blue with white numbers that roll pretty good. They're great for reading in dim light and I use them primarily when playing, or when DMing a light-hearted campaign or...
