I'm an Alternity fan, but I only got to play a few times. I liked the dice mechanics, but The skill system was a little intimidating at first. I would happily play an Alternity game again if I had the chance. I thought the Star*Drive setting was really cool, and I loved the different race...

I will definitely check out Deadlands. That's awesome about your kids' playsets. My son is 10 and right now Minecraft is his whole world. I have some ideas for using Legos and MegaBloks to create some Savage Worlds adventures for him. I'm hoping to ween him from the computer a bit and get...

Thanks again. Amazon should have the Deluxe Explorer's edition at my door on Friday 04/19. I'm getting so many ideas for one shots and three or four session mini campaigns that I'm having to write stuff down on any piece of paper that happens to be handy so I don't forget them. My imagination...

You know, there is a great scene in the movie "The Caine Mutiny" when the defense attorney that has successfully defended the crew gets drunk and tells them what he really thinks. He reminds them that their duty as naval officers was to help the Captain overcome his issues and problems. They...

Thanks for the replies. I'm ordering the Explorer's edition today. Can't wait to get started. I've read the quick start rules and it seems like a really fun and fast game.

So I'm intrigued by the Savage Worlds system, but I don't know whether to get the hardback Deluxe or the Explorer Deluxe rules. I generally prefer full size rule books, but for the difference in price the hardback Deluxe rules would need to have something good to justify the extra cash. Does...

I wouldn't use the ebook/pdf versions of the rules if they were available because I don't have the infrastructure in place to benefit from them. I own a laptop computer and my wife has a desktop. Neither are particularly new. I own an iPhone 3GS, but I don't have an iPad or tablet, and I...

I'm pretty sure there was a quick shot of Carl in the house looking out into the darkness for the people who had gone hunting Randall. Then there was a shot of Rick and Shane (maybe right after the melee) that showed the farmhouse in view across the field. I took that to imply that Carl had...

I agree with your list except for Andrea. They've spent a good deal of this season doing character development with her, and I don't think they can waste the opportunity to explore the tension between her and Rick over the Shane thing. On a note unrelated to story, I think they want to keep...

A few more thoughts on this episode: I think Lori's conversation with Shane is what sent him over the edge. She made him believe that he was still "in the race" with her based on the way she worded the conversation. As she was speaking I looked at my wife and said "That woman is the devil!"...

I liked this episode. Lots happening. I think the climax would have had more impact if it had followed the comic, but I still think they handled it well. I think the end shot of the farmhouse indicates that Carl saw the whole pre-climax exchange through his binoculars. Lots more to say but I...

The way I choose to look at the "dead people without head wounds not being zombies" is that the infection (curse, plague, evolution?) didn't simultaneously infect every person on the planet at exactly the same moment. Thus, there was a time frame during the initial outbreak that some people...

That's a good point. Keep him prisoner until you can make clandestine preparations to bail out. Drop him off 20 miles out and then get out of there. Hopefully Herschel would go with you for the medical support, but I would keep the planned regrouping destination secret from him so the "Gang...

I absolutely agree that killing/torturing/etc. Randall is wrong. However, I think letting him go is reckless. I don't really see a good answer to this scenario. If he was telling the truth when he said he went to school with Maggie, then he probably would be able to find the farm even if...

Or carelessly cut fences, allowing cattle to escape.

Yeah, I was very surprised. They seemed to have been moving closer to the comic storyline the last couple episodes, and then this big U-turn. It was nice seeing T-Dog again, even if he was just mobile scenery.;)

Just a bit of speculation about the officers at the public works facility: In many Southern communities the "public works" facility is where the city or county stores trucks and heavy equipment for road crews. It often includes a garage/workshop to do maintenance on that equipment and a...

I would love to see a Mass Effect PnP RPG. I've seen several un-official conversions to the Traveller ruleset, but I don't know how well those handle the property.

I voted the New Toys option, but my first reaction was Hope. I want to spin the wheel one more time. And, I'll keep wanting to spin the wheel each time a new edition of D&D is announced because I know there won't ever be a version that is perfect for ME. I'm ok with that though. I can tell...

I just want to be able to play a sword and shield fighter without it being "sub-optimal". I always felt the image of a sword and board fighter was iconic to the game, but 3.X seemed to make the two hander or two weapon style too good to pass up. I don't really have enough experience with 4E to...
