And the romans had a quite interesting siege doctrine: 1-Build a second castle around the enemy castle so they can't break out. 2-Build a third castle around your second castle to stop enemy reinforcements from coming in. 3-? 3 was usually to build a giant siege ramp that allow them to march a cent...

So you can't protect your game mechanics with copyright
Well, at least in this particular case (a card game). It appears you need to patent your mechanics to protect them from cloning. Exactly what this means for a traditional TT RPGs isn't obvious from the summary, though I suspect you better have a large litigation budget if you try it against Hasbro. ...

Most of the problems with Movement seem like they could've been solved by the KISS rule - have the power actually increase speed, with all accompanying consequences. There's already a (barely functional?) mini-game for vehicles and speed, so the Movement power would just piggyback off of those rule...

Me and my Group have an very poor record of running away while still being able. Not shure how typical that is :cool: It depends on the group and the game. I know a GM who talked to the players about how just when they think it is all lost they will find a way to achieve a hard won victory. So the ...

The Masquerade succeeds or fails based on whether vampires are treated as real by people who have actual power. Not by how many thousands or millions of people know or think they know that they exist. -Username17 I'm reminded of the line from the grandfather in Lost Boys at the end of the movie: &q...

I doubt I could get anyone to actually run such a game even if there's a good system for it and I'm not sure I'd have time for it if someone did, but if you know of a not-WoD system that could handle that game I'd be interested just to hear about it. You can do that in Hero. I did a jaguar in a sup...

Name them. I'll bet you I can point to a poster who enjoys whatever game you point at. I've enjoyed playing games with horrible rules because of the people and their attitude. If everyone wants to have fun, isn't a jerk, and is willing to play along, you are likely to have a good time despite the g...

Would there be a good chance of corporate runners on call with movement running on a high end aircraft to get somewhere within three minutes as a high threat response team? Would they be the right response to getting the alarm for 5-10 million nuyen in assets being threatened? There is a real time ...

Essentially, if I'm role-playing a skilled detective I have skills involving finding clues, interrogating suspects etc and since it is a fucking game I want to USE the skills I have to find clues and interrogate suspects, not play 20 questions. I suppose if you wanted us to roleplay 1920s police int...

What's up with the Free Spirit chargen rules and is it possible to make something playable? I assume that step 1 is to take Possession and not Materialization. If playing an Free Spirit, you get the choice, either play something underpowered or do some rules lawering and play something overpowered....
