    Hi there,

    I've run Trek games with lots of less-than-Trekkers and the best advice I can give (and this is good advice) is make the episode an interesting conundrum and adventure first, then...

    Not at all. I enjoy this stuff, too!



    I'll have to go and check the language in the book (and see how much I'm inferring or drawing from Star Trek), but I was under the impression that the...

    Yay!

    I'll go so far as to recommend an associated practice, then. Give the players something physical they can handle to represent the nominations (a notecard to write on, a tootsie roll, a...

    Call of Cthulhu uses a skill-specific, use-dependent advancement system, too. It's nice, and a good alternative to have, but not what necessarily appeals to me personally for a fantasy adventure...

    Hi ben hur,

    Thanks for weighing in. I hope it'll encourage others to do so, too.

    It occurs to me that there's probably a happy middle for you in between the Advancement/Session method and...

    That's interesting, Ineti. I feel the opposite. I give out experience at the end of a d20 session, and it's pretty broadly applied. I mean, what the characters choose to do just determines whether or...

    Doling Experience

    Hi all,

    I've been lurking for a while, but I'm soon to be running a mini-series of Lord of the Rings adventures (which I'll post afterwards, perhaps) and am curious to see how the rest of you...

    Hi again,

    Roads and paths should certainly be distinct units when using Peril in a rural or wilderness setting. Not only does it help to quantify the game world in the mechanics, but it's very...

    For the sake of simplicity, I go ahead and let a fair number of modifiers cancel each other out. Only when the environment is the key factor in a given scene do I load up on the modifiers. Otherwise,...

    The Narrator's Screen adventure is only marginally set in the North. I don't think it roams too far from Rivendell, actually, and certainly doesn't reach as far as Angmar. The full-on campaign...

    It's interesting how much Angmar seems to attract the attention of us roleplayers. Decipher's ongoing (?) campaign, mentioned in the core rulebook and begun in the Narrator's Guide, centers on the...

    Hi there,

    Very often, in both the books and the films, when Gandalf is talked about by mundane folks, they refer to him as a conjurer or what have you. The way that he is referred to actually...

    Hi all,

    I have to recommend the book "Backdrops" from Atlas Games for use with miniatures. This is not an un-biased recommendation, of course.

    Read about the book here.

    Don Mappin Is Awesome.

    I read Fell Beasts and Wondrous Magic on the plane ride back from Origins. Once again, I want to get two or three sessions of this game together. But that's not why I came here today.

    T'Pol or someone else on the bridge specifically says they are "Birds of Prey" early on when they appear.

    Klingon Traditions

    Yeah, those were Birds of Prey, all right. I really like the retro-design they did on those, with the over-sized engines and some sort of hanging turret or whatever that was underneath. Very...

    Hey Everybody,

    I've been pouring over STARSHIPS since the GAMA trade show and I am super-psyched to use it in my game. I've got a sort of VOYAGER/ELITE FORCE premise operating right now (mixing...

    I think we've done a pretty good job at keeping this on track, since this is all in support of my argument that the SOM is a fine value, all things considered. Since we're in danger...
