[Merged] Hackmaster reviews?

Hackmaster reviews?

[news]Hackmaster in D20 Reviews databse?[/news]
I've received a plea to add Hackmaster material to the review guide. This falls under K for Kenzer.

My first question I guess is, is Hackmaster d20? If we start adding stuff like Hackmaster, how about Robin Law's of Good Game Mastery and material of that nature?

I dunno.

Hackmaster is not D20 in any way (Other than, well, using a D20 somewhere in the mix)... but on the other hand, it's a derivative of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, same as 3e... Like the book says, in another reality, it could have BEEN 3e.

It's a funny situation.

My gut feeling would be "Not really the focus of this site", but my hackmaster fanboy wants to say otherwise.

Pfft- I say we take all Hackmaster books, pile them on a boat and ship it all off to Australia!

Or possibly boil it all in oil!

Or we coul.. err.. wait.. I added the Hackmaster stuff yesterday.

It is all there waiting for reviews.

I guess the problem then is that it wasn't marked as available which means you can't add any reviews to it.

Really? I am pretty sure I set it correctly. *ponder* oh well.

HackMaster is sort of a special case. It's D&D (AD&D, to be exact), new products are being made for it, and a lot of it could be converted over to 3e/d20 use as easily as any other for 1e or 2e. But it isn't d20.

Could you put up the various volumes of the Hacklopedia of Beasts, too?

 

[Furn_Darkside]

The decision was made along these lines-

Someone asked.

Morrus left the decision up to me.

I was hesitant, because I realized my anti-HM feelings would easily sway my decision.

So, I looked at this way- would I mind if someone asked if Blue Planet by FFG (another non-d20 rpg by a d20 publisher) be up for review?

I would have no problem with that- so I should have no problem with HM.

And, ta-da, it is there for review.

I believe I put up all of their current products.

If I missed something, then let me know.

And.. yes, I know it is not organized at the moment. When I get a chance and an idea for how to better present it, then I will do so.

Oops! I had searched for items which had "Hackmaster" in the title. Which of course would not find the Hacklopedias, since "hackmaster" does not appear in any of those titles.

Thanks for the rapid response!
