... That doesn't make it any more reasonable. Many of the '80s software licenses were found to be unenforcable, as they (if obeyed strictly) inhibited "normal...
... TravisC, IANAL - If I remember correctly, when I asked at work about this sort of license on our software I was told something like, "The customer has ...
That sounds pretty good. I'm kind of torn between the idea of making it realistic (for example following my Choi Li Fat (kung fu) Martial Arts course logic)...
... Just remember, if I see any ninjas surround my house pretending to be shrubbery I can spread those incriminating games across the Internet in an instant!!!...
... I'm afraid I missed Hargrave's later works but I still have the trilogy box set as well as (I just remembered) Fantasy Wargaming by Bruce Galloway. (I ...
... Since you're having players pick the individual skills and then averaging out the group values for those skills, you might consider doing something similar...
... OMG. At the risk of sounding hopelessly fuddy-duddy, parochial and out of date, but did something change while I was in my hole? I thought that was half,...
Hi Talus, Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "attributes". Do you mean requisites? Or something else? Can...
[snip something about level of detail in skill development by ... It's interesting you should say that, Talus, since that's just what I have in mind for my own...
... Interesting. My original plan was similar. I didn't have classes so the players could pick 12 skills from the full list. Each skill had a rating in ...
... Heh, sorry. Lazy terminology. I was refering to the common practice of having innate attributes like Strength Dexterity etc... which are considered a...
Yeah ok, that's what I thought you meant. Interesting. I'll have to mull this over, but it's a little clearer to me now. I think. Mulling. As for the wiki -...
... Hehe. Yeah. I mean, if you're going to *have* a GM, he might as well be doing his best to win. :) -- Nathan E. Banks ICQ 34492883 GnuPG Public Key...
... The thing about ninjas is that they blend in; you cannot see them. You need to employ a Knight Who Says "Nee". They can tell a fake shrubbery from a real...
... Can you say "Night of a Million Zillion Ninjas"? Am I the only one who's read The Tick? I do like your Knight who says "Nee" suggestion, though I hear...
... Well, the grouping of skills in relation to the overall bonus mentioned (an element bonus) is independent of the class of skill as martial/magical/other....
Hallo, ... There's not a hint of that in my copy! Indeed, FW is most notable as trying to provide very good information on historical conditions and other bits...
Well I started playing in 1978 and so I have some recollection that it was not exactly what you'd call a hard and fast rule of any sort. It was just that it...
Hallo, ... The best campaigns to be found were tough and demanding and penalized inept play. That wasn't to say the GM was playing vs. the players, that was...
... I've never understood the concept of GM vs. the players at all, in the context of games like D&D -- Because it's not a fair fight, it's not even a fight at...
I think the point is that the GM is only against the players to a certain degree. The GM would setup the scenario as something like what he thinks the party...
... Yeah, that's what I think of as *Bad* GMing. The whole concept of adversarial GMing is not for the GM to change things on the fly when the Players are...
... I heard someone describe this meme as "No Plan Survives Contact With the Enemy" or "Every Encounter Must Be A Challenge". It can be very frustrating if...
... Apparently so. I have encountered the Tick in a few guest appearances in Cerebus but haven't read the comic. ... But can they still tell a fake shrubbery...
Hi David, I think what you mean is that as Players when you know certain facts about, say, a dungeon, and you go ahead and make a plan for it's assault, if the...
... Exactly. It can be OK if the players know and accept that things will always be "interesting" -- but that might discourage them from planning much. ... We...

... I know the feeling. Thanks for the advice; I'll have to check out 'Gamers' sometime. My attempts to lure him into telling me what he wanted on the list...
I want some help developing a campaign idea. It is a combination of D20 modern and a war-game. The twist to it is, ready for this one, a second civil war. The...
On 9/3/06, Hell I cant remember most of the time! ... Are you presuming a classic geographical civil war, or a modern one a la Iraq where everything is...
