A cyborg! Of course he is. That explains him being one-legged and still driving his truck with such assured expertise. Not the bit about being a woman though, unless he is a shapeshanger too. Could be his secret identity. I wonder where the Fates will take him after Leng?

George's travels are becoming increasingly cross-genre. A legend among intergalactic shaman truckers. I almost don't want George to reach his destination.

Someone with the rules should stat him up. And his rig.

Yes, I'm using it. http://basicroleplaying.com/forum/external.php?type=rss2 But it only lets you know of new threads, not new posts in old threads. I think you can subscribe to individual threads though. If you're using firefox (no idea about IE) just click the orange curvy lines in the address field and the feed should be added to your aggregator. Works for me anyway..

I can only agree. With the amount of stuff already coming out, or about to in the next six months or so, many should be able to find something of interest. Now, if only these PDFs/monographs could get a bit more exposure to the great unwa - uninitiated.

Yes, you're doubtlessly right, I probably read too much into the description. Still, nice to see some of the old stuff available again and I can't imagine using it with BRP would give more than trivial problems. But without having seen either product yet, I imagine BRP has pretty much most rules SW has, what we'd want is setting and spot rules. Watchmen anyone? You should just put Dustin's email in your sig

Never played it either, I was mostly noting that Chaosium had brought it out in pdf as one of their old games. I don't think they've done a lot of changing and I doubt they'd need to after all. We had fun playing GH, I had the players based in our home town fighting villains trying to rob known bank and so on. I adapted a White Dwarf scenario (I think it was called Peking Duck) and used a familiar Chinese restaurant the players eventually wound up demolishing. It was a short-lived campaign, but we had fun.

Chaosium's catalog is filling up nicely with both old and new stuff, well worth a look pretty much every day now. Among the old stuff, they now have Superworld available. If I understand the description right it's basically the same as the box set, but slightly modified for the new BRP. And Nephilim. Could this be a sign that Chaosium are thinking of supporting both games? I'm not a huge supers fan (I've only played Golden Heroes) but I'm suddenly tempted.

Looks like a rogue "index.htm" has snuck in there in some of the urls.

Good luck and stay safe

I think I saw a version of that used as the basis for dragonewt magic, but can't recall the details. Each spell was based on one set of the polar opposites so when the 'newt used a spell effect his balance shifted towards one of the extremes, which was bad for their development.

That kind of adventure is indeed best used sparingly. Maybe RPGS should come with one of those health warnings you see on cigarette packs. I was once in a one-off game (using CoC) where an important ambassador had been murdered and we were set to solve it as various law enforcement types. What only the GM and I knew was that I was the murderer. The GM and I had loads of fun, but one player got really upset when it was all revealed. Not that this has anything remotely to do with your setting, so :focus:

It may not be apparent that it is a washing machine. Let the poor characters figure it out.>:->

Most welcome. I was too lazy to check if that was indeed the title, I think I've only read it in Swedish. And if you're into Dolphins and Space, you should check out the Uplift series by David Brin if you haven't already. It's got chimps too. At the moment I'm reading the whole Fafhrd and Gray Mouser series for the first time. Lots of fun. (no dolphins so far though)

One of my favourite books as a teenager was Clarke's Dolphin Island. I barely remember it anymore, but dolphins are always fun.

I think I only read as far as Lavondyss which i thought was something of a disappointment. I obviously need to check out the rest of the series. Does anyone have an www.anobii.com account? It's sort of like Last.fm and similar sites but for books.

I also loved Mythago Wood when I read it, and immediately thought that there is a whole rpg in there. I was thinking of doing something similar to the book in CoC but never got around to it.

I think what I'd want is for Greg to do something similar to what Green Ronin has done with Freeport. Publish systemless books and license others to do the rulesey bits as they like. Something like that should keep most of us happy I think. I doubt it'll happen, as I suppose it might require renegotiated deals with Mongoose and perhaps, Moon Design. But I can dream, can't I? If we're really lucky we'll get a 4th ed book. :innocent:

Great report, Sverre! Sounds like lots of people had lots of fun. And Happy Syttende maj :party:

The enlo tremble in fear!

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if a Jason Durall in his Martian battle harness and striking fearsome poses, turned up in a video on Youtube. Whether such a video actually existed or not has nothing to do with it. This is the Internet after all.

Good man! I trust you had fun?

Have a beverage of your choice! :thumb:

Voted Fantasy but the poll seems to think I already voted and got an error. I want a semi-realistic fantasy setting, more Harn than Glorantha though not necessarily based on the European middle ages.

I know Robin Laws is blogging from Tentacles, anyone else?
