theironjef posted:No way, but I'll totally add that to the list, I've never heard of it. On the other hand, NO ONE will have heard of what we have coming. My google search for it only dredged up a few online clearinghouse retailers that carry it and a bunch of suggestions that I probably meant something else. If you can't find it I might be able to dig up a copy.

Both the Magician and the Warrior look awesome, but armor always wins at first level. My vote is Warrior.

FMguru posted:Games that are essentially "Popular Thing X But With The Serial Numbers Filed Off" show up quite often in RPGing. Cyberpunk 2020 was an unofficial adaptation of William Gibson's "Sprawl" cyberpunk novels, Vampire is Anne Rice's "Interview" novels, Conspiracy X is X-Files, there was a very handsome D20 book that was essentially Harry Potter with some names changed, and on and on. I think my favorite d20 We couldn't secure the license game was Exorsystems. Guess what it wasn't a game of. Go on...

To be fair to Exorsystems it was actually one of the few decent d20Modern books I've read. It had a decent monster chapter, some ok busting mechanics, and the art conveyed more of a Real Ghostbusters feel than the XGB cover would suggest. Hell, when I have some time in February or March I'll review it for the thread.

1) Congrats on going this long as a podcast before going off topic, I think mine only made it 6 months. 2) This is in no way the worse RPG movie ever, because I've seen both the Dragonlance movie and Mutant Chronicles.

theironjef posted:We figure if we need another week it'll either be Dragonlance or Mazes and Monsters. Mazes and Monsters (which we covered in our Forced Filmography series)* is weird because it feels like the director was almost on the pro-RPGs side because it almost goes out of its way to show it was anything but the invention of LARPing that drove Tom Hanks crazy. gently caress, while I'm plugging stuff, we figured out how to turn Mazes & Monsters into a couple of decent convention one shots in our most recent episode. *This is our director commentary style series we created as an excuse to make one of the hosts have to watch lovely movies. 8one6 fucked around with this message at 06:49 on Feb 4, 2015 |

Just Dan Again posted:I'm so confused by this. One of the things that always strikes me about System Mastery is how good a time you guys seem to have with it, even when you've clearly gone through two weeks of torment to figure out whatever the hell they're talking about in something like Skyrealms of Jorune or Prime Directive. You also aren't shy about talking about games you enjoy and why you enjoy them. Even tropes like Jef's fervent hatred of Advantage/Disadvantage systems have been offset by the occasional game that does them reasonably well. Some people will only react to the negative. My podcast's only one-star review on iTunes is because of a single negative opinion my co-host expressed fifty minutes into an off-topic episode where we otherwise gushed about everything else.

Simian_Prime posted:I've always thought Ol' Siembieda was barking up the wrong tree with the Rifts stuff. Instead of marketing it as an RPG, he should have pitched it as a Saturday morning cartoon series with a line of toys. Tha poo poo was the tits in the early 90's, and kids don't give a crap about a realistic post-apocalypse setting; they just want to see dudes covered in skull armor shooting missles at dragons and shiny robots and poo poo. Hasn't he been trying to get a movie made to start up this sort of thing for the last 30 years?

WHF 3e is really fun in play. My group picked it up when it first came out and after playing a year and a half long WHF 2e game I loved all the changes they made. The only real problem is, as you said, it's FFG as hell. Every character gets their own little box to keep all of their character relevant stuff in (action cards, career card, the little bits you use to track things, the ability cards you can slot in, etc.) The other annoying part of the original core box launch is it only really supported 3 players and a GM, so we ended up with two of the core boxes.
