I picked medium with not a single DnD book in the collection.

I really enjoy it. It is the reverse of most SJG products in that it is really all mechanics and not as much theme as normal. It is one of the few games I'll play that doesn't have any form of randomness in it.

Mine too. I'm actually pretty excited about Gamma World, random cards and all.

I second Burning Wheel's system. Nothing else has ever felt quite as organic to me, though a lot of point buy system like HERO and Savage Worlds have come close.

Twilight Imperium here as well. Ten hour game. However, it did remain fun the entire time.

Burning Wheel Swashbucklers of the 7 Skies The Shab-al-Hari Roach

Working a full time job and getting ready to go back to school has reduced my amount of free time to almost none. I still want to game however, so I'm thinking of switching over to Pathfinder and using the plethora of published adventures to cut down my prep time as a GM. I only have three...

When I was twelve I went into a Waldenbooks, saw a Mechwarrior 2nd Edition book, bought it, and never looked back.

Finished up a couple of story arcs using Savage Worlds and HERO. Next weekend I'm running the adventure from the Deathwatch quickstart rules from Free RPG Day. Also gearing up to run a Dresden Files FATE game and play in a friend's Mouse Guard game.

Man, Ghana/Serbia has been the best game of the tournament so far. Couple of mistakes by Serbia makes what already was one of the better and more interesting groups int he tournament even more wide open. How big is the Ghana celebration party going to be?

I'd argue that Howard is the actual best player on the team, but yeah Donovan is probably a better overall player than Dempsey. The difference between them is Dempsey will try anything just to see if it works, and ends up creating more chances by his own hard work than Donovan does. So he'll...

The Stargate family cliffhangers have always been well done, but this one is just brutal. Now to wait for four months.

I'll take that result. Bradley always has questionable game plans for me though. Dempsey is probably the State's top guy for breaking games open and making chances, yet they usually have him playing a support position. It is frustrating.

I don't know, I think the slightly more free-form and narrative style of the game has a lot more to do with it not being super mainstream (for gaming anyway) than the dice mechanics.

The mechanic itself comes from the system's basis in FATE/FUDGE. In those games you roll 4 FUDGE dice which are six sides with two minus signs, two plus signs, and two blank sides apiece. You roll the four of them and add up all four, generating a number from -4 to +4 with distribution heavily...

Greece was horrible. Argentina looked solid, but mortal in a win over a decent Nigeria. South Korea has a chance to not only make it out of the group stage, but maybe pull an upset and finish first in the group. Very good play from them. Good striking and a fun swarming defense.

I can't speak to this question specifically, but I just want to offer up a quick quote that serves as the basis for any SW conversions I ever think about. "Convert the flavor, not the mechanics." I wouldn't worry about trying to port mechanical things over directly like this. Instead figure...

I'm supporting the Yanks as far as they'll go but my upset pick to win the whole tournament is the Oranje. Can anyone else score like the Netherlands? That was only slightly tongue in cheek.

What he said. The Superhero Companion takes an already flexible system and kicks it up into a whole other level.

I chose sometimes for both. Like several others have mentioned up thread, I tend towards more open world sandbox style games when I run something. Thus there are groups and organizations working for their own goals in the game world with their own time tables independent of the PCs. Now if the...
