"Mage: Sorcerer's Crusade" is the other with strongly existing material. For a Wuxia game I probably wouldn't use the setting of "Weapons of the Gods" but I would lift heavily. <BR/><BR/>I clearly need to figure out how to format italics in comments.Lowell Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02359280169506945906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764158821384594980.post-41846300889195947982009-02-19T20:53:00.000-05:002009-02-19T20:53:00.000-05:00I agree-- although I like running at cons, mostly ...I agree-- although I like running at cons, mostly as a challenge to my skills and to see how other people react to situations. But I'm not as fond of playing games there.Lowell Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02359280169506945906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764158821384594980.post-17915694346317369852009-02-19T19:26:00.000-05:002009-02-19T19:26:00.000-05:00Key Kaiju,That's why I stopped going to gaming con...Key Kaiju,<BR/><BR/>That's why I stopped going to gaming cons.

Data studies I've read show better results with that level of detail, than with 1-10 - even though 1-10 would represent even percentile blocks.<BR/><BR/>CSI: AH, Spyworld, Maps of Decay and Destiny, and Romance in the Three Kingdoms sound the most fun to me, in that order.<BR/><BR/>Maps of Decay and Destiny also sounds similar to ideas that Andrew Peregrine and I tossed back and forth to expand his Deadworld in Worlds of the Dead.<BR/><BR/>(deleted and reposted for spelling challenges)Undeadhosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131084242228738203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764158821384594980.post-54688368846849586312009-02-19T16:02:00.000-05:002009-02-19T16:02:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Undeadhosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09131084242228738203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764158821384594980.post-32825039816290779002009-02-19T15:37:00.000-05:002009-02-19T15:37:00.000-05:00Third Continent Fantasy Campaign - 10Legend of t...Third Continent Fantasy Campaign - 10<BR/>Legend of the Five Rings - 7<BR/>Redshirts! - 4<BR/>The Unending City - 5<BR/>Maps of Decay and Destiny - 5<BR/>Mage: Sorcerers Crusade - veto<BR/>CSI: Arkham Harbor - 7<BR/>Burning Midnight - 4<BR/>Masks of the Empire - 9<BR/>Vengeance of the Fallen Temple - 9<BR/>Bloodlines Supers - 8<BR/>Romance in the Three Kingdoms - 7<BR/>Spyworld - 5<BR/>Romanus Infernus - 7Kamigaokamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087631989749906581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764158821384594980.post-9095027356795224552009-02-19T13:12:00.000-05:002009-02-19T13:12:00.000-05:00Romanus Infernus and Burning Midnight would be my ...Romanus Infernus and Burning Midnight would be my faves.

But I don't know how they made a choice! <BR/><BR/>Are these all real game systems that you can buy? <BR/><BR/>I am reading the list thinking "That's cool! Oh wow, that's pretty cool too! Oooh, I like that idea!" But I figured there would be at least one that I would think "Nah, I wouldn't like the sound of that." But no! They are all really cool! Or maybe you just write them cool.Cher Merehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10336087288319886516noreply@blogger.com
