I have another PC death to report. While playing my modern S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game, Sargent Booth tragically lost his life. Eschewing more modern weapons for the simplicity, reliability, and low cost of a bolt action rifle, he took on the role as the group sniper. Spotting four guards on the...

This isn't exactly me being a dick player, but I have a great story from a roleplaying session about two weeks back. I was GMing this modern campaign using Fuzion (and for those unfamiliar with the system, you take character disabilities ala GURPS), and two of the party members had unknowingly...

The DBZ book still isn't here :/. After poking around the internet for a few weeks, checking out the remnants of Fuzion, I decided that there weren't any character sheets good enough to use with the Atomik WAR/AXE plugin, so I made my own. If anyone with experience with either this system or...

It's funny, I just had a conversation about this with a friend a day ago, and he claimed "If I'm ever going to accidentally pull a TPK, expect ghosts. Lots of ghosts. Like Casper and **** coming to the rescue." Me? For a real fight, I'd likely just start lying about my dice rolls behind the...

This. I don't really care for resale or collector's value, I just like to treat my things with respect. I don't like to damage my books, but if modifying them in some way would make them more useful, I'm ok with that. However, I'd rather do it in a way that could be undone were I to someday find...

My old GM had a good one he always used on a failed search roll: "You find a stick. It has been broken. By something."

Final meaning we can expect a release date announcement soon?

I think your party will be fine. Remember that party power doesn't scale linearly with amount of members. New synergies will emerge, and six people will still be plenty powerful.

As a GM, I'm against the idea of "taking ten" as an active tool that players have. If they could take ten in the situation, I just give it to them anyway. However, if they need to jump the five foot spiked pit (or anything with a moderate penalty for failure), I'm going to make them roll even...

They might have, but there's another one around called 4e toolkit: Playwrite: 4e D&D tools

Right, like as was stated before, you probably shouldn't copy 4e directly or call your project "d&d". You'll get a c&d. As for typesetting programs though, there are a few options. Adobe InDesign is very good, but also very expensive. There is a FOSS alternative called Scribus, but I can't...

I know that feel, bro :D

Right. e20 is the generic setting rpg being made my the same guy who made SWSE. I don't think I would mind making an upgrade tree either, I'd just basically copy it from COP.

(In Ukranian accent) Greetings stalker! How are you? Has anyone here ever tried to run a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. campaign? This is the idea that got me back into roleplaying in the first place, and now that my 4e campaign is wrapping up in a few sessions, I might take a crack at this. My next hurdle is...

Personally, I love giving out random salvage treasure ala donjon.bin.sh. It's more flavorful to have a few gems and an antique painting in a room than 300 gold pieces. But like truename said, everyone should have +1 stuff by level 5.

Ahh modern campaigns. See this recent thread for more discussion on modern systems. I'd say go for Savage Worlds if you're ok with leaving the d20 system. You'd have to come up with your own houserules for some of those things you were talking about though. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure Star Wars...

Double this. I have this new RPG I'm going to try out on Tuesday that I'm going to GM, and I kinda wish I had someone who already played it to show me instead of just telling me how it works.

Are you giving your monsters a saving throw to fall into the pit? IIRC you need to make a saving throw or fall prone at the entrance to the pit when being forced into one. As for the group always seeing traps, try forcing them to make dungeoneering checks instead: Despite perception saying...

You know I really wish someone like you were around for my childhood, and this thread makes me want to run a group at the local ymca myself. Is there any special hook you used in getting them to let you run it? I'm thinking of up-playing the math and acting skills part to the activities...
