Sentinel Comics leaves it to the character building process whether the spiral is positive, negative, or absent for competence; it always has an increase in powers capability for further down the HP stack. the Health status stack is divided into Green, yellow, red, and out (0). The Health...

Note that that's true for the Commonwealth nations and the US, and some others; France and Germany both have far more extensive creator's rights.

To quote half a dozen professors at two different institutions I have attended: "One source is plagiarism. Three or more is research." A few have also said, "0 sources is ignorance." One said "No sources is fiction." (He was a practicing lawyer.) But even most fiction authors do research. And...

Judging by parish rosters and attendance, the common folk have been more religious since the 17th C than the leadership. It is only in the 19th C that we see significant non-participation in faith activities by the common folk. Including secular authorities imposing restrictions such as...

If you're relying upon wikipedia, you have bigger priority issues. Go read the US copyright circulars, or even decent law offices FAQs on it... US Intellectual Property Law: Board Game Designers Guide II 17 U.S. Code § 102 - Subject matter of copyright: In general (cite as 17 USC §102(b) as...

No scale creator can create an unbiased scale. Risus substitutes the ocassional die roll for the say-yes of improv. Not significantly different in rules weight. Actually a bit less, when I compare to my notes from Theater class.

Find and read "A Merchant's Guide to Rokugan" - the title is a misleading one. It's about the Scorpion Clan's ninjas and their dark alliances... Oh, and edit to mention: Classic Traveller Book 9 was released this year. Book 9: Pirates (link to DTRPG.

Ask anyone who survived the process... I asked a couple former soldiers of the third reich. And lived through the era of D&D book burning in the US. The kids who didn't have to put theirs in themselves were much more likely to rebuy. But many fantasy classics got burned alongside... L Frank...

Superlight is theatrical improv in all ways that matter to me.

To be worth a damn as a designer, you need to know three key things: who you're writing for, what has worked for them in the past, and what has failed them in the past. You seem to be uncertain on the first, and clearly avoiding learning the other two. What works for you and your group is...

In the US, it's blackletter law (that is, explicit in the text of the law) that the rules of a game cannot be copyright protected. It is also blackletter that the explicit wording is only protected if it can be paraphrased, tho' that's a very rough summary of a MUCH longer passage. So...

On a 6 point scale of 0: theatrical improv 1: Rules Light 2: Rules Medium Light 3: rules Medium 4: Rules Medium Heavy 5: Rules Heavy. 6: Rules Superheavy Daggerheart is 2-3 depending upon frame and core options in use. Rolemaster looks like a 4 until you start play, where you realize only CGen...

My metric was, until recently, $1 per hour per person... as I got about an hour of enjoyment for $1 in the arcade playing the few games I was good at. Hang-on and Robotron 2084. Mind you, almost half of that time was standing in line, but watching others lose was fun, too. On Hang on with the...

encounter ≠ combat. Many encounters can be non-combat. Most fun one recently: Ron of Go, wandering merchant stoneman. He offered to trade some things.

My current game has no random encounters in core, but has some as setting elements. My typical game has significant numbers of random encounters. I like RE's when the system supports random encounters well.

This is going to see some use... I love the variation of the not-quite-a-beholder...

It has been the tool of indoctrination for extremism of various types, both religious and political. In forcing the owners to put their things into the pile, it does significant psychological impact. This is magnified when the choice is made by parents or judges, and imposed upon a youth.
