Well, first I would say that it is a good value.. The price is good for what you get The mechanics a little bit more simple than D&D V3.5 but really not what I would call a lite system. I like the wound track opposed to the way HP work in D&D. I like the fact that you don't have to use...

I wish I could compare the two but my Palladium gaming was done with Rifts and 2ed Palladium Fantasy. Both of which I think are great games.

good to see the site up again, I was a bit worried for a while there. :) wow, just noticed I lost about 200 posts......not bad as others though.

Well, I don't really hate d20 but it is my opinion that there are a handfull of games that are better. I do play D&D, although not often as most here do. So I come here because a lot of people here have good RPing ideas and random discussion on RPG whether they be d20 or not. Since a lot of...

Yes, it does influence my RPG buying habits. As I have stated in other threads, I buy products from publishers who are jerks. What makes a person a jerk is different for each person. Some people don't care if publisher are jerks. So far there I have a short list of publishers that I will not...

Yup, you are right. It's not right for people to insult him either. Critics who critique peoples work with nothing to back it up are being idiots and are not even worth responding to. I want to point out that I was not one of the people who have trashed Justins work. Justin is well known for his...

Hey, I respect your position. Wil wanted me to explain my position so I did. I have never personally been insulted by Justin or anyone else @ WW, but I have seen the way he acts. The way companies act when the critics come out can either make me more intersted in their games or push me away. In...

Yes, there only a few WW people who I don't like, but part of what boils my blood is noone did anything about it. One employee who (I think we all know who I'm refering to) would go spouting off on mesage boards insulting all comers and noone @ WW said or did anything about it. I just expect a...

Yeah, I do realize that most of the folks @ WW are cool but the ones that get under my skin do it with such zeal that it ruins the whole thing for me.

There is really not a whole lot the same between 40k & Wamachine. Warmachine is more of a skirmish game. You might have 5-20 minis in an army. Warmachine I more cinimatic. You can pick up stuff and throw it,headlocks, arm locks, and ram. minis in the same faction will have some combo...

after reading that thread and observing some the forgites I will not be buying products made by some of them anymore. Not that there are so many "big hit" RPG to come out of these guys anyway or any that I really like. I can't support games who have developers that are so sphincteric. It's the...

Well What I think will happen is: As you have suggested WoTC will come out with 4th ed that will be closed content. They have seen the amount of money they could have made in 3/3.5 on all the suplements published by third-party publishers. Many publisher will continue to publish stuff for 3.5...

Yeah, it it pretty popular. Though this weekend I stoped @ 3 of the local gaming stores here in the Minneapolis area and all three had atleast 1 copy. The one I ha a Hard time getting was Iron Heros. It's mostly my fault though because I didn't put one on order. I just figured that I would pick...

I have found the Iridium system very playable and in fact quite good. I reviewed one of their other games (Nebuleon sci-fi)games over on gamewyrd a while back: http://www.gamewyrd.com/review/610 I have a fairly detailed explanation of the system there if you are interested. Also there is the...

Well I think you hav a good start so far by limiting the # of books used. A new GM should start with only using the basics. Dungeon Crawl classics are pretty good for starters. http://www.goodmangames.com/DCCpreview.php You could piece together (with some mods)a whole campaign with them if...

I agree with you here. I use this approach to fill gaps in our party. If it looks like out party needs a good fighter I will pick race that is better suited for it and the same with other classes. If it looks like the party doesn't really have a particular need I tend to pick races and classes...

Don't play humans all that much but it's not because I don't like them. There are just a wide assortment of races to play that i just tend to try out ones I havn't played before. I like Halfling,gnome, and dwarf characters the best though.

I agree with this part 100%. products do not have to be innovative to be good and useful. WOTC puts out the best d20 products, they are not what I would call innovative but they do add to your game.

Well I think Iron Heros & Arcana Evolved from Malholvic are innovative. Conan in some ways was inovative. For me it really has to be a serious change of how the game is played. It just seems that the D20 market is so flooded now that short of publishing a variant PHB or a totaly new game it's...

I think we have different opinions of what make something innovative. I use this definition: to bring something new to an environment or To begin or introduce (something new) for or as if for the first time For me something has to effect the current gaming environment and has to have a...
