Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had some recommendations or resources on titles like Geneforge, Aztaka, etc. RPGs that don't get coverage by the mainstream gaming press.

Specifically the background image found here: ..:: AnimeCorpX ::.. [Version 6] I am hoping someone recognizes it as it looks pretty sweet.

Ala Arcana Evolved. The impetus for this project was having to sit down and play a Wizard and all of the bookkeeping that entails. Somehow I avoided the class for years and thus never realized how annoying spellbooks and spell preparation are. I like the AE system as a compromise to scrapping...

In particular, I am interested in how you run the image (silent image, minor image, etc.) line of spells. It seems like they can either be extremely powerful or worthless depending on DM preference because the rules governing their use seem rather vague.

Many people seem to dislike the flavor of per encounter abilities, which I can see to an extent. Many have countered that most fantasy magic does not work on a limited resource model like Vancian magic—a character can blast all day, but doing so may have repercussions like fatigue or the loss...

It often occurs to me that roleplaying is a largely insulated hobby even with the advent of the internet. How does a group even know that their game could be so much better, that their DM is poor, whether from inexperience or something worse, or that the players could contribute more than they...

Perfect first issues. A sequel to "Chimes at Midnight" and "Quoth the Raven"? Count me in. Logue was very tricky on keeping this secret. Someone else was right about them delaying the Lost Caverns conversion as part of a marketing effort for 4th edition or DI. Very cool, I can't wait to see...

Having just played the adventure "Eye for an Eye" from Dungeon #82, one battle has the party fighting a plant creature with 8 tentacles all with constrict and improved grab. Of course, the part also has 9 wolf allies. This would be a long battle under any circumstances, but the inclusion of...

I have mostly played fantasy RPGs in my long history of roleplaying with occasional dabbling in superheroes and I want to mix it up. I have M&M and it works very well. I am however interested in some sources for supers adventures, not necessarily for M&M. I have also always had a hankering...

I am going to start a campaign with some new players and I am interested in how most people go about actually playing their game. I want to keep it cheap, I don't know if this will go anywhere, but I would like everything to go smoothly. What do you use for maps and representing combat? Any...

Just finished the first five. I have to wonder why this isn't ranked among the classics of fantasy. Zelazny always wrote great action scenes and this series is no exception. The intrigue is great and the plot twists are amazing yet never incredulous. A must read for any fantasy fan...

I am suprised no topic has been made about this yet. SG-1 was hilarious, better than most comedies. It was the best episode this season. Atlantis was great too, continuing its good start.

Can anyone give me a rundown of what they are?

Head over to http://s2.cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.asp?board=32974&topic=6790491 for a feature on the game. I am very skeptical of this new "feature." What is the fun in feeding and exercising? This is a game about cold-blooded killers and greedy criminals, not The Sims. Though The...

What are some good places that have a nice selection for renting video games online? I ask because my local video stores are really poor in this regard.

What are some good resources on dragons? It does not necessarily have to be about D&D dragons.

Personally, The Dark Knight Returns blew me away when I read it, and I still consider it the best comic I have ever read.

Do you find the languages a PC speaks to be superficial? Or does language play a role in your game occasionally?

I am gearing up for a SF campaign in the future and am wondering what resources are out there. I know D20 Future is coming, and Star Wars, while a nice system, is not the SF I want. So what setting/systems are there for a SF campaign using the D20 rules?

The Planescape setting is still a great repository for ideas in my game, even though I don't run the setting anymore. So What books from old D&D editions, or even other game systems, do you still draw inspiration from?
