    hey, Thordic, where's that BB SW group? That sounds interesting.


    There isn't a whole lot of information for new members floating around, as the d6 system is slowly dissapearing and the club already has at least a hundred members. But go check it out, and drop me a line on AIM or something.

      Is there a lot of source material from 3.5 that you're wanting to use? What's wrong with staying 3.0? I've stayed away from d20 because it updates all the time. Most of my games are crusty and out of circulation (RoleMaster + Seventh Sea).

      I forgot how cool the MechWarrior source books were. The Jumpship book was awesome for pictures. 3025 caused controversy because there was shared designs between Robotech and Mechwarrior. That had people really upset for a while.

      I personally think 3.5 fixes alot really.

      As for just cool sourcebooks, I really enjoy Heavy Gear books. They have some really good storyline books, they're fairly complete. Lots of society, political, and technological background.

        Otherwise, I played a damn lot of those years ago, still play, but not as many different types anymore.

        The current game of choice is Feng Shui, which is a not so serious fun romp.

          Putting together the ultimate car in Car Wars was half the fun. I always sacrificed a weapon for an extra oil slick or caltrop dropper.

            I grew fond of the heavy armored right side, and the hug the outside of the arena tatic.

              Back to D&D

              you don't even need to buy the books anymore you can just download the SRD...
              Wizards of the Coast is a family of studios specializing in building role playing, trading card, and digital games for all genres of players.


              But what your missing is a lot of the flavor...and it helps to have the actual books while playing.

                Started playing basic D&D in junior high. Moved on to AD&D (1st & 2nd ed), added GammaWorld, Twilight 2000 (1st & 2nd Ed), SW:RPG (d6), in university and Shadowrun (2nd & 3rd Ed) after I moved to Ottawa. I GM'ed AD&D & Twilight. I was off the AD&D for almost ten years, until recently. My brother wanted to try an Oriental Adventures campaign. I heard it used an honour-points system, rather than alignments, and I wanted to see how that worked. I now have a 5th level shinobi no bushi.

                We get together from time to time to play one-off adventures in Shadowrun or Tw2K.

                  I played a little D&D with my cousin, but never had anyone to play with around here so i never got that into the games. I've been a fan of battletech for the past 13 years, and always wanted to play the table top version but I have no one to play with. I love all the Battletech books that and the warcraft books are all I ever read.

                      Warhammer 40k

                      and of course... Vampire: The Masquerade, it's not a realg RPG unless it's called a "storytelling game," and therefore has a colon in the title.

                        I got bitter with the White Wolf line of games. They had an explanation for every world event happening because some Vampire, Mage, Garou had their hands in it. They were extremely revisionist and I couldn't stand it.

                        Now the new editions are out and put all the old stuff out-of-date.

                            For those 40K players interested in obtaining a Space Marines (Crimson Fist) army; I have a nicely painted (I have won some awards) army available for sale or trade (if paintball). These are the newer models with limited edition figs and some Forgeworld stuff. All in a new army transport case and codex. PM if interested.
