OK, Will, I swear this isn't spam. It's just an idea I've had, and I'd like to know what the folks here think. If this isn't the kind of thing you guys...
Not to worry. I am always open to new ideas. A while back (10 yrs ago) I was working with a guy who wanted to make a Java-based MUD. I was doing the front-end...
Hi all, Thought I'd give a Star FronTwerps update. Instituted the Wounds system, it's working very well. First the players ran into the Cannon Fodder. Red ...
This group seems to have a great deal of creative energy in addition to an intimate knowledge of the roleplaying medium. I've enjoyed roleplaying since I was a...
Hi John, The closest i've ever come to playing such a game was the Steve Jackson game called TOON. Players created cartoon characters and played those. Many...
Ghostbusters might fit the bill. There is combat in that you are trying to capture ghosts with your proton beams, but that is miles away from slicing a orc...
It' stretching the definition of role-playing (and I think that's the point) but you might consider some of Hogshead Publishing's "New Line" of games. The...
i'm definately curious about this. don't know how good i'd be, and hopefully i'd have the time milo ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? ...
Thanks for the ideas and links! I especially liked the descriptions of De Profundis & Baron Munchausen, but as these titles were out of print, I sought out...
John, Cool! Another teacher that can see RPG's as a possible teaching tool! In addition to the other suggestions offered, Zak Arnston's free RPG "Shadows"...
But roleplaying games illustrate reality, at least to a degree. How many people out there, everyone here included, doesn't use turning signals, or cuts across...
Just finished reading the site. VERY cool. Great way to introduce someone to the concept of Role playing and not Roll playing. Wonderfully simple and can be ...

Hi everybody, I just received my first TWERPS books a few days ago (basic rules 2nd ed., H.T.D.E.B., Magic, Fly-By Knights) and was pleased to find a TWERPS...
Hi Morph3u5, Welcome to the TWERPS group! I hope you'll like playing the game. It is simple and fun, but offers many rich possiblilities. When I first...
... Thank you for the welcome and the response. ... Actually, what I was saying is that, by my reading of the rules, you do *not* add strength when making...
I somehow started doing it the 'right' way from the start, but going back and reading the 2nd Ed. rules, I can't see how I ever figured it out. I think 'cause...
Matt: It took me a few days to discover the other games at http://harlekin-mouse.com/ – thanks for directing me to this awesome site; many of these games are...
Saving rolls: I deliberately ignored the TWERPS rules for saving rolls; after playing GURPS, I was used to doing it a simpler way: roll the die (in TWERPS d10)...
Wha? Simpler than TWERPS? I'm gonna sound stupid, but ... Let me get this straight. The player would roll one die and add the Difficulty Level, trying to get a...
Sorry for the delay. My phone service has been awful lately. So much static on the line I can't connect to the net. Consider the troll swatted. Welcome to you...
Hmmm... Well, it is simple, but the thing I don't like about it is that if you use much of a negative modifier for a difficult task, low strength characters...
... That's the way we did it! ... You're right. I reckon I was so accustomed to the GURPS rules, that this was an automatic assumption. Roll of 10 was a...
Hi, all. I'm new to the group, though not new to TWERPS. I have a few of the first edition booklets, and want to find out about getting more. Now, I had heard...
... Welcome aboard! Always a pleasure to meet another TWERPS-ie (TWERPS-ophile? TWERPS-head? Say, what would the appropriate moniker be, anyhow?)! Hope your...
Glad to have you here. Take a look at the files we have here. Lots of neat stuff there. Milo, I have something I want you to take a look at. Email me ...
Well, thanks to Jon Hancock, the Book of Worlds 2 is pretty complete, and I posted it earlier. Big Secret Project X is coming along. I've approached someone...
Hello fellows, Uh ... I was over in the web expansion links and a bunch aren't there anymore. Awesome and Crimebusters both say "locked" when I try 'em. And...
