Coolio! Thanks!

Thank you for the information. :thumb:

Cool! You're locked into it now

haha...I didn't see this before I posted in the other thread

Well, as expected someone picked the GW RPG licenses fairly quickly: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/PDF/pr-2008-GamesWorkshop-Sabertooth.pdf So, it's not the death of WHFRP and DH40KRP.

Yes, I absolutely agree. This was the brightest business decision in the RPG industry in years, and it's impact will last years to come. WotC was brillant in creating the open license concept. It was truely an innovative business decision, which has revitalized Dungeons & Dragons and insured its position as the number RPG again.

There is a free Test Drive version of Savage Worlds. You can download it from here: http://www.peginc.com/Games/SavageWorlds/Downloads/TestDrive.pdf

Good points. :thumb:

As far as a common system goes, the RPG industry has gone back-and-forth. After the hobby was established, there was the movement where the game companies created House Systems so that their fans could easily transition between the product lines. The Indie movement is a reaction to the House System movement. There is always going to be this back-and-forth in the industry. There are always going to be people who like the standardization of House Systems, and there are always going to be people who want to push the boundries and play outside the of the box.

PDF's are definitely a great boon to the RPG industry. However, there are plenty of people out there that still will want hardcopy of their favorite RPGs. One of the drawbacks of PDF format is that it is difficult to read a huge PDF. I am one of those persons would still like to have hardbound copies. WotC is going to be more restrictive with their open license with 4e D&D. I think this will have an impact on the RPG industry. We probably won't see such a great influx of d20 materials once 4e D&D is released. I think that the few successful d20 material companies/publishers may continue, but all the little ma-and-pa operations will diminish. I think the new trend in RPGs is the 'Indie' movement.

It would be cool to see a conversion of CT. Go for it! :cool:

Interesting Triff, you sneaky devil, you

Ok, I've been off the computer for a week or so and I'm back. I don't think that old-school RPGs is entering its twilight. There is a revival movement by Goblinoid Games in GORE, OSRIC, Labyrinth Lords, and Mutant Future. The call them Retro-Clone games. I think that the internet and new PDF format will continue to keep the older games alive long enough for new gamers to discover and start the cycle over again. I played WoW for a while, but grew tired of politics and economics in a freaking game that was suppose to be my recreational time. I am sure that there are many people and gamers out there that will get disillusioned with that type and style of play in their MMORPG and their table-top RPGs. 4e Dungeons & Dragons seems to have morphed to appeal to the younger MMORPG crowds. I am sure that there will still be plenty of gamers who stick with 3.X Dungeons & Dragons because they don't like that trend in their RPGs.

A BRP/Athas conversion would be awsome! It's grim-and-gritty feel is a perfect fit for BRP. tedopon, if you find that conversion, let us know. I would definitely be interested in looking at it.

I broke the big 4-0 last May. The meger 4-1 is right around the damn corner!

You can download a Lite version for free here: a/state product line

Time and Time Again Great time travel science and premise. Time agents are part of a paramilitary organization based off the French Foreign Legion. Great fluff, craptastic system. It was based off a d200. huh?

Harnmaster has an attribute called Piety, which seems similiar off the top of my head.

Thanks, Jason.

Well, in our RQ3 games we never enforced the traits. However, we would fill them out on the character sheet based upon the character's concept. This was mostly for the benefit of the GM in case he had to NPC a player's character during an adventure for whatever reason. Having it filled out helped the GM in determining the player's in-game actions.

Well, I was trying to be cute. I guess it didn't come off that well. :ohwell: Congratulations on getting your copy. I hear that some people that pre-ordered with Amazon were have difficulties. Let us know your impressions once you get a chance to thumb through it.

hehe...yeah, I know...but you're currently stationed in Germany if my memory is correct....anyway, thanks

Gratzie PK!...er, Danke!

Ok, some help here: What are the RPG titles for 40K currently? 1. Dark Heresy (Core book) 2. GM Pack (GM screen and mini-booklet supplement) Anything else currently? I know there is stuff slated to come out in March. Something like another 2-3 titles? And then that's it- nothing else for the RPG side of 40K.

Looks cool SDLeary! I dig i that the old RQ3 options are on the sheet.
