I don't mind running at all and there is another guy in the group who runs as well. Right now we are trying to finish a Runequest game before the guy running it has to move (which I think will be in august). Would you be interested in joining the runequest game until we start up the GURPS one? Its b...

Curently we have been switching playing at a place in Poway and another but with the loss of our current GM w...

You know, the sad thing is I first watched videos on that exact same Skycar in 1999.

It doesn't seem like anything has changed since then. :(

Shoby187

You can always try Second Life. There are a lot of roleplaying areas on it. Star Wars seems like a popular one.

Shoby187

Damn,

I would really like to join you guys but I don't know if I could make a Saturday night game.

When do you guys start/end?

Shoby187

Is there a specific date that you guys wanted to meet up on? I'm assuming a Saturday right?

Shoby187

[quote="dnd3eplayer"]Some hotels have conference rooms and such also, so that might be an option.[/quote] Ok, I don't want to get anyones hopes up, but I MIGHT be able to help with a place. I haven't been to the last meet ups so I'd probably need more info on what goes on but I am a Systems Manager...

Please tell me that there really isn't a new GURPS books out that has a cybernetic dolphin with lasers on the cover.

I swear, GURPS has turned to shit with 4th edition . . .

Shoby187

Damn that was funny.

Shoby187

Man, this list is pretty lame. What about: The Fifth Element Twelve Monkeys Gattaca Predator! Dune!! The Abyss Stargate Superman/X-Men/Spidermanetc Akira The Fly The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai! Buck Rogers!!! Max Headroom Adventures of Brisco County Jr Even though I didn't watch the show I'm sure...

No. No he isn't. :)

Growing up I always got screwed. I rarely had a birthday party with any friends there because they were always out of town.

This year I think I did pretty good though. We'll find out tomorrow :)

So my wife bought me a gift card to Barnes and Nobel and it got me thinking about what everyone is reading out there. I'm always looking for a good book to read or series to start on so I figured I would ask. In the last few months I have read: American Gods (reading now) -Its very well written and ...

Shoby187

Thanks guys. For my B-day my wife bought me a $50 gift card to Barnes and Nobel. I blew it on 3 books. Sons of the Oak & Worldbinder (in hardback) - Both by David Farland Books 5 and 6 in the Runelords series I also picked up Dragon Champion by E. E. Knight Anyone read any of these yet? I though...

Shoby187

I actually liked Enterprise more then any of the other Star Treks. Especially when it started. There was something cool about seeing seeing the start of the federation and I liked the fact that the technology wasn't so far advanced as it was in the other shows.

Shoby187

My understanding is that RJ pretty much knew that he wasn't going to get to finish that last book and so he's made arrangements for someone else to finish it.

Shoby187

Those both sound really cool. So is Indie a new RPG company or something? I'm really interested in the idea because I really like Play by e-mail games. The problem with PBeMs though is that it takes so much work for the GM to run one that they all usually fall apart after a few weeks. Something like...

Shoby187

Ya, your group sounds like it had the same gripes with the combat system that mine did. Over the years we'd tried a few different ways to tweak the system. The two that I remember most (and that worked the best) were: 1: Make all dots in skills automatic successes but require 3 or more successes to ...

Shoby187

If you are into Roleplaying more then combat you might want to try playing the game diceless. I've been using the WoD rules for a couple of years now to run my Diceless Amber game and I've really enjoyed, its defiantly the most role playing I've done in a game before. A lot of people have told me th...

Shoby187

[quote="Gotetsu"]That wouldn't work in the new system because successes are counted as damage. So, you would automatically hit and damage every time. I dunno. I think we weren't ready to start in on the new rules yet. We're gathering this weekend to discuss options. One of which is to scrap the gam...

No Pimp: The Backhanding?

There's nothing like fighting over Holly, the hoe with a Ghetto booty but a heart of gold with a pair of brass knuckles and yo trusty Pimp cane!

Shoby187

Don't know about the new system but in the old WoD system I always thought that the skill levels should mean more.

When I ran the WoD system I always counted dots in Skills as automatic sussesses. It seemed to work very well and helped keep everyone from shooting themselves in the foot.

Shoby187

Hell no, that shit might be dangerous . . .

Ya ma. Wikipedia might not be perfect, but its the best damn thing out there.

Better then Mountain Dew in the morning!

Shoby187

Weird, seems like its working now but for about 20 mins there it would not load no matter which computer I tried.

How am I supposed to get my learn on without Wikipedia!

Shoby187

Um, is it just me or is Wikipedia down?

Shoby187

Ah, ok that makes a lot more sense now. I thought it was odd that I'd heard the phrase so much.

So is the show Deadwood about Wild Bill?

Shoby187

Is Aces and Eights a poker term or something? I once read a short story online called Aces and Eights about a character in Roger Zelazny's Amber setting.

Did I mention that I have two girls, an 8 year old and a 5 year old. My 8 year old is already doing extra chores around the house to try and earn money to buy all of these . . .

[quote="Neuro"]So there's a game show and there are three doors. Behind one of the doors is a vampire. Behind another door is a nephandus. Behind the other door is a goat. The goat won't eat you or harm your immortal soul or reality. Monty Cook makes you choose one of the three doors or else be thr...

I've recently started missing all of the WoD games I used to play. The last game I ran was a Amber game using the WoD rules and now I am running a GURPS game with WoD characters so I guess I shouldn't complain about someone wanting to use D20 for WoD. Personally I'd like to see how he converted thin...

Shoby187

Oh shit Neuro, you made me spit coke through my nose!

Someone needs to buy the inmates at the local prison a microwave . . .

Shoby187

That's what I was thinking too. I didn't notice that he was involved until after I made the post.

This reminds me, I still need to get a copy of A Night With Kevin Smith 2.

Shoby187

Might be a funny show:

The CW announced May 17 that it has picked up Reaper, a supernatural comedy-drama about a slacker who finds out his parents sold his soul to the devil, which will debut in the fall on Tuesdays at 9 p.m.

Ok here's my Five: The Book of Mormon (Since some of you mentioned religious books I figured I'd throw one in there. Besides, Romney is up in the polls! The Book of Mormon claims to be a history of the American Indians, specifically it claims that some of their ancestors were lead to the American co...

Shoby187

Thanks for the tip man. I stopped by there last night and was able to find a couple of the books I was looking for, dirt cheap. I picked up: GURPS Magic for 10 bucks. GUPPS Hexes for 2! GURPS Supers for 6 and Voodoo for 8. I also found the GURPS Basic book online for 1$ at Amazon. Now all I need is ...

What game stores in the area would you guys recommend? So far I haven't come across any near downtown. I'm mainly looking for a store I can pick up some GURPS stuff at this week before I start running my game on Friday but I'd also just like to find a nice game store to check stuff out at. (Although...

Shoby187

Maybe you could just go with a more mundane explanation. If it's a meteor strike that causes the outage you could just say that the main meteor was trailed by many smaller meteors that took about the majority of the satellites in orbit. Also, if the meteors are supernatural in origin or some type of...

Shoby187

Wintermute you are my hero. :D

Shoby187

Thanks, I was hoping that someone out there would be looking to get rid of their 3rd edition stuff.

I got involved with a new gaming group out here in San Diego and they want me to run them in some GURPS stuff but I don't have any books left!
