One skill check; rest RP! :)

From various accounts I've read, when Timothy Zahn was brought on board to write the Heir to the Empire trilogy, he was given the WEG sourcebooks as reference material to build upon, making much of what was included/added in those books canon. (After RotJ there was essentially no new SW being...

I will join in with the crowd noting we've been playing under a system of my own devising, and it's been going swimmingly! I also second the idea of a Cortex Prime based ruleset -- which would be a serious and great way to get that system into the spotlight! We've played games under Cortex...

"My hat of d02 know no limits!" (So long as we're resurrecting things so old that even the 7th level spell isn't enough... ;))

Wind + Haste splits party. (Italicized to indicate the spell not "playing fast in general" was part of the cause. That and the player (me :P) not recognizing that this combo would end up having him engage the foes nearly solo...)

There are two things here. The first is if the player wants to duel and almost get beat, but eventually overcomes them, and everyone else at the table is cool for that, then that doesn't mean you can't either or both a) spin a great yarn about how you get to that point (which will make that...

I like make the distinction between player agency and character agency. It can be totally fine to restrict character agency if the player agreed to it. That might be what you mean by context of the fiction, but I like to use this distinction to be more clear. Playing an adventure path...

Nice! I often use 80/20 in the projects I'm architecting (and have even worked with Teco for supply/install) and it's cool to see it used in nifty ways. And with its grooves and t-nuts allowing all sorts of things to be affixed along it in flexible ways (lights, tablet/laptop holders...

Cortex Prime -- either from Tales of Xadia or using a shared fan-created campaign. :)

You only need the Tome as your specialty if you wanted to have a bit of flexibility with your Encounter powers. In 4e the base Wizard can select 2 Daily powers and 2 Utility powers for each level and can choose one at the start of each day. Keeps a lot of the classic Wizard flavour without...

Alas no... hoping to make it to a local con in Feb though. Definitively will hang out at the BT game(s) even if I don't sign up due to conflict with other sessions. (Last year I got to play a bit as one player kept going off to check up on an auction they were bidding in.) (I was also...

Alas not yet! :)

Dramatic shift to campaign prep! (Ok, not that dramatic... I was ready to run and we were going to start with a bit of campaign prep for a new campaign starting next week only for that bit of prep to turn into 80% of the session time and we chose to call it at that point :))

When we played CP2020 (and CP2013), we never saw them as divorced from the genre, nor did we read it as the only thing important and the only thing the game wanted you to focus on was the style. We were in high school, I'm not going to claim that we were doing deep dives into the philosophy and...

Yes, but I would also say that's not all that there is in the cyberpunk genre (and I would argue it's not the main thrust / genesis of the literary genre). It's also a world about corporatocracy and the absolute crushing of everyone beneath it; it means a world where life is treated on the...

Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to give them a good read through yet. (And now I'm curious if they're similar to how Renegade Legion's Centurion incorporated Interceptor strafing and bombing runs...)

Count me as interested. :)

As someone who loves 'taurs of a different sort (of the four-legged variety, including publishing 3e, 4e, and 5e supplements for them), I raise a toast to you and your joy of Minotaurs! :) Here's to a fine year for taurs of all types.

All the best to everyone for this festive season and beyond!

Creatures of Twilight ruin festival.
