Welcome Ed!
BTW did you mean "roll" playing or "role" playing? (This isn't meant
to insult your grammar, to the mind of a gamer they mean different
things)
jaklumen, I can tell you a little about 2 of those games: Big Eyes,
Small Mouth is a generic anime-based RPG; Deadlands is a fantasy Wild
West game.

vidar-- I am a gamer right to the bone, so of course I am aware of the
differences in meaning of "roll" and "role". There are some folks I
call "roll" players, i.e., they rely more on the dice and mechanics of
the game. Sometimes they are hack n slash cheeze monkeys.
I am a bit of a LARP freak, and I've experimented with freeform gaming
that involves no dice and 100% trust in your players in order to just
weave a story. I take "role" playing seriously-- I have not met many
gamers who really took pride in character development and acting
skills to get their PCs out of a jam.
Clearer?
Big Eyes, Small Mouth-- anime! Ha ha, got it! Sounds fun-- I've
played Ranma 1/2 (made with GURPS rules) and Bubblegum Crisis with an
acquaintance of my wife's.

That first part was meant for Ed. I've known the difference for a long
time.

I thought you merely juxtaposed my "there" and my "is" then added a
question mark to the end of my sentence.

<pokes Ed> How long have you been gaming with Anne Moore? Chances are
you either know my sister or brother-in-law.

SINCE this conference has been dead for a LONG time, I'm going to suggest a
new game. I will DM it if necessary. Please DON'T email me your characters,
just post them somewhere in here. I may not be on for several weeks. I hope
someone sees this before a month as passed . . .
I forgot . . . what the quest I'm proposing will be about . . . it will be
set in a kingdom, so far unnamed, and the characters will have to defeat an
evil mage. I will allow anyone with the proper craft or feat AND out-of-game
knowledge to invent semi-modern technology, i.e. someone knows the formula
for gunpowder and tells me, and they have Craft: Weaponssmith or whatever it
is, so they can make guns. Not very *good* guns, but guns nonetheless. They'd
have to repair them themselves, of course.
I hope I didn't forget anything else.

Looks like he hasn't. I haven't been on Grex all that much recently.

<blinks> What kind of game system will this be set up in?

From the lead in: D&D3E with modifications for players who actually
know the formulae for gunpowder to allow weak guns.
<shrugs>
I know from experience using Grex to game isn't the best idea in the
multiverse.

re #39: No, I didn't, and I'm not ready
re #41-42: just about right. Unfortunately, this is the only place I *could*
do it.

Sorry, I forgot to mention this: I will start an item when I think of a proper
name for it.

I've found a name for the kingdom, but I can't think of a name for a
quest, and I don't have much time at the moment. The kingdom is called
Tavanth. Could anyone who wants to join post character names & *short*
summaries here (as per original item purpose)?

Well just because I finally got back to post, both a roll player and a role
player, depending on the system. But I prefer role playing myself, keeps my
enjoyment level up. As well to comment on Anne's post on god charecters, oh
yes, I know of the players who love god charecters, here's my typical GM run
in with them.
"So tell me about your charecter"
"Well he is an orphan with extreme martial arts abilities and is rated deadly
with both hands and feet. He is a fully trained gun expert with high
marksmanship and is known for having an incredibly quick draw. Former trained
US army sniper, honorable discharge with no recall status. No friends, no
connections, and no obligations. Will kill on command."
"Thank you, and does he have hobbies, interests? What is his goal?"
"To shine his guns and use them."

Sorry to scroll the forum but I thought I would post this, is anyone in the
Ann Arbor area interested in a campaign I am trying to start, based in the
1920s and 30s, pulp adventure, using a modified "Over the Edge" system?
Please feel free to let me know.

Over the Edge system? I'm not familiar with that. Although, I probably
shouldn't stick my neck out too far in interest... my time
availability is next to nil. Both a good thing and a bad thing. Man,
you'd think being unemployed would give a person time to get fun
things done.... <Grins>

I manage to get some RP time in although I'm unemployed too. Dunno,
maybe it's because the WTW system makes efficient and effective use of
my time. Granted, it's mostly Cam, and I have to deal with people's
issues right up front, but hey, I'm a convert to LARP. Hmmm.. haven't
done anything D&D like yet, but.. perhaps that could change.
RadCon's coming up, i.e., there will be a convention in my home tri-
town area soon.

I'm also in the unemployed boat, and doubt much of my time is going to
be tied up until January when I'll resume my search for jobs, and be
finishing off my degree. Not to mention RoS taking up a minimum of 9
hours of my time a week.

Vidar- yeah, I'm pretty much not working on getting a job until after
January 1. I'm curently in 2-3 games and occassionally run more- so
adding another one in to an already busy social schedule is proably
not a great idea for me.

Anyone home?
Hi! Kae's here to let you know that she likes Traveller, Gamma World,
and In Nomine.
She finds D&D combat unnecessarily ponderous, and thinks its character
generation system stifles creativity.
She also believes that d20 could be the harbinger of doom for all RPGs.
The guys at the local game shops love her because she spends real money
on her dice collection.
She is currently involved in an In Nomine campaign, playing a Lilim
named Ginger who recently traded all the favors owed to her by the
other PCs to Lilith, for protection against a praticularly nasty NPC.
HeeHee! Carnage...!

Why is d20 the harbinger of doom for all RPGs?
Elaborate here, or perhaps in another item?
