  1. Gosh I wish I could play in your game! The way you describe it is awesome!
  2. Me either. I have the original version but I imagine The Design Mechanism will clean it up and illustrate it nicely. I will buy a copy when its ready. John Snead if you are reading this will the content be exactly the same as the original book or something different?
  3. I think their was a Stormbringer band starring Michael Moorcock!
  4. Hey Clarence! Don't forget to add Reflux to your signature line! Thanks for the pre-gens!
  5. Does Revolution deal much with cybernetics? I seem to remember some examples in the book
  6. Yeah - for those of us that are Swedish language challenged... Did M-Space win? I hope so!
  7. Nick I really like the concept of attaching certain abilities to a character's allegiance score. I am going to be forced to steal that idea :-)
  8. I am not sure it's the same file but if you go to the downloads section of this site and search for feats, a file called Feats and Aretes is available for download.
  9. If you decide you like Deep Magic try our homebrew rules located in the downloads here called The Second Way. Provides a mix of Deep Magic and Ars Magica for a more grounded (rules based) freeform system. You can find a link in my signature.
  10. Yup - I mean't more about it. Thanks Clarence!
  11. We recently played In Search of the Trollslayer. Very good BRP title that easily runs in Magic World. Wish there were more titles like that!
  12. Clarence, Can you tell us a bit about it? Thanks!
  13. Assuming the book sells well, would it be fair to conclude The Design Mechanism would publish some adventures / scenarios for the setting?
  14. Wow! That is so awesome! Will it be basically the same book like that put out by Chaosium or will there be new stuff. Would a person that already has AtVW benefit from the new book? Awesome! Awesome!
  15. Unfortunately this video seems blocked in the US for copyright reasons.
  16. I warned them initially that the game is very deadly and that they should run if they encounter something they can't handle but they disregarded my advice. I think they have played too much D&D.. I doubt they make that mistake twice. One of the characters was hospitalized by a bed...
  17. Yeah I plan to run CoC every three months or so until they get used to it or tell me to stop... In the interim I will have the party play some D&D modules using Magic World / Stormbringer rules. Shoot and loots are a lot easier for me to prepare for!
  18. Hi all, My group and I finished our first game of CoC last night. We played “The Haunting”. There were three players that ultimately played four characters (because one of the investigators fell off the second floor in a mishap with a bed J), a professor, occultist, reporter and surgeon. A couple of highlights: 1. When the professor made a small hole in the brick wall hiding Corbitt’s room and wiggled through I had the silver knife threaten him. He was hit a couple of times before he could wrestle it to the ground. 2. When the investigators were just about to check out Corbitt’s body the newly possessed surgeon hit the occultist with a wood axe. At that point Corbitt stood up and began to attack the party. Pandemonium commenced. Ultimately everyone survived without going insane. Great fun. Next we are going to run the BRP scenario “In Search of the Troll Slayer”, and then in a month or two we will run “Tell Me, Have You See the Yellow Sign” in CoC. PS - One of the players was put off, as she put it, by a lack of control in CoC. She said that in games like D&D and Stormbringer she always felt like she would come out on top no matter what the threat. In CoC she was constantly afraid her character was going to get killed through no fault of her own. As the Keeper I’m not sure if that is a problem or a feature J. Any thoughts on that?
  19. We have been playing this for the last couple weekends. CoC is great!
  20. Good ideas all! We have played two short sessions of The Haunting so far and I figure the players still have another couple hours of play before there finished. The first session was heavy on investigation and role play. The players enjoyed it (especially my wife who fancies herself a detective) but lamented the lack of action. In the second session they explored most of the house and are getting ready to go down to the basement. However, they are concerned that there is a ghost in the house and that they may not be able to do anything about it. I keep reminding them their job is to investigate not necessarily solve the problem. The good news is that they fear for the characters and they feel hopeless. The bad news is the same. One of them is wondering why they are playing if there is no hope of winning (I did previously warn them about CoC in general). Overall they seem to enjoy the game but prefer Stormbringer. As we progress we will see if I can change that a bit. I hope to run “Tell me, have you seen the yellow sign” next. We play the next game Sunday. Will keep you all apprised.
  21. Several have been recommended on various sites and I am still investigating but here are my favorites so far: Within You, Without You (Unspeakable Oath Issue 1) Tell Me, Have You See the Yellow Sign (Tales of the Crescent City) Edge of Darkness Daughter of Set The Keeper of the Woods Dead Light PS - If anyone has experience with any of these I would appreciate hearing about it.
