[quote="BlanchPrez"]Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that D20 is not complex at all, or that its the easiest system in existance. Far from it. I completly agree that if I were to take a complete newbie and try to teach him how to play at 15th level, he would get lost. That's why I never do that. ...

[quote="BlanchPrez"]Okay, so when do we start? Do we start a new thread, do we want a particular number of people, and who gives us the theme to start with? I vote Smartmonkey for that last one, as he found the game to begin with. :) Chris[/quote] I'm such a bonehead. I never even though to use the...

cczernia

First, d20 can be ported to CRPGs. The author even admits it but skims over the arguement as though it didn't exist [quote]on reputation alone, as AD&D core rules worked nicely for Bioware's products[/quote] If someone doesn't understand how a system works than they won't be able to implement i...

This is what happens when you apply Balderdash to fantasy roleplaying. I like Balderdash so I imagine I would like this and I have always been a fan of interactive world creation though I have done it a bit differently.

[quote="smartmonkey"][quote]One of my favorite rules was the poker rules. The game had difficulty number that you had to pass on a die roll. If you rolled twice the value you got a raise (extra good success). In poker this tranlated into how many cards you got to play for an actual hand of poker. I...

[quote="Count Zero"]Deadlands was fun with the cards because it added to the wild west fell of it all. There was nothing more fun than playing a cowboy throwing down cards for initiative and trading in your poker chips to get an edge of the other guy. While the game was rather silly at times and th...

cczernia

That's right. It is based off Deadlands system (as reason I never gave it a good look) but is suppose to be faster which combines dice and cards. I remember in deadlands drawing cards would determine things like attributes and initiative. It got a little wonky with the different die types and Deadla...

Whats the system for SW like then?[/quote]

You might actually be interested in it SM because it is a lite card based system.

Review of this game just went up at RPG.net http://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/10/10232.phtml I am defianitly intrigued now. As I was reading this review I realized I would probably enjoy this game (much more than Conan or B5). As a matter of fact this is the second d20/OGL game I've really wanted t...

I'll be there.

I always like the idea of a customizable GM screen but I don't like the low height of this one. I've never had a problem with the old screens and if I decided I really liked the customizable GM screen I would probably want to carve up (or photocopy) my old screens. Wouldn't work with this one. Of co...

[quote="Gotetsu"]Ok, I personally LOVE to illustrate my characters (and often those of my fellow players). So, I was wondering, is anyone else a huge fan of character illustrations? If so, how do you do it? Do you hand-draw them, use blank templates, use actors/characters from movies/TV? Inquiring ...

[quote="mordraine"]I just went to the DP9 website and there's next to NO information on that game (least-wise I couldn't find anything).

<non sarcasm> Ok, this is good. I need someone else who can tell me what the heck I'm doing. Just tell me what to roll and I'll be fine.

Sounds good. I should be able to make it.

I tend to incorporate minor house rules and on occasion will stat something out for a game. However, it is mostly stuff like 1s don't cancel successes in Storyteller. The only other type of house rule I tend to incorporate is drama/narrativist points. I usually give the players a couple points that ...

Agreed. That looks more like the Santee version of the Batmobile :P

~~[quote="Lowly Uhlan"]~~But hey, no one has told me how cool the ~~[b]~~Secret Hunted[/b] is.

Brown nosing the GM is always a good idea. :shock:[/quote]

That is damn cool. DAMN DAMN COOL!!! What is a personal AI?

That is correct.

Have you seen "Firefly" yet? I pictureing these guys a lot like the Reavers.... I still want to call them Oorts, though.

I get the feeling we are going to run into these people. We'll call them Oorts.

I don't know. I think I'd have to kill my girlfriend if I had to work with her.

Yeah, we need a therapist on our team, a combat therapist

cczernia

~~[quote="Gotetsu"]~~Yeah, but I would have to agree that Monkeybucket sounds great. I'd buy an album from them. Excuse me, a CD. Jeez, dating myself a bit there... :shock:[/quote]

Yeah, but who was better lead? David Lee Bucket, or Monkey Hagar???

cczernia

I hate having to deal with fucking coding.

Fucking pisses me off.

Yeah, I hope humanity has gotten over the affects of space solitude else space therapy would be one of the biggest industries out there. So, what do the people in the Oort cloud do in their spare time :)
