The Gaming Den

Here is the thread in which you post requests for mega-reviews and whatnot. This is not the thread that compiles them, though we probably need one of those, too.

Anyway, on my list of Lago requests/things I want to do sometime if I'm not lazy:

Star Wars d6 (we have some scattered threads, no OSSR)
Mouseguard
The Star Trek TTRPG
Exalted: Lunars 1E
3E D&D Eberron Campaign Setting
d20 Modern & Urban Arcana
Mutants and Masterminds d20

Is Urban Arcana the one that has the preacher mind flayer, the gangster mind flayer + bugbears and multiple pictures of Maddie in her thong? I seem to recall it being "This has such awesome art, I wish the actual text could be even half as awesome and not a massive bowel movement".

The OSSR Compilation Thread is stickied at the top of IMHO.

Game On,

Some of those are in the d20M core book, but yeah.

I would again like to restate my request for reviews of Rifts books, especially the more insane ones.

What's the cutoff for OSSR anyway? How old does a book have to be to be considered 'Old School"?

I'd say 10 years. Or so.

I call Epic Level Handbook, which I'll do in a couple days when I have a more stable internets connection.

I thought somone already did this one

Oh well it has my vote. You guys are giving me a rage adiction

There's an AoFD article on Exalted Here.

I may try to get the drunk review people voted for me to do done tonight. The only issue is... I have class tomorrow morning.

I'd like to put in another vote for d20 Modern and Urban Arcana.

For quick scanning, assuming this becomes a popular thread, some formatting might be a good idea. >_>

For example:

Vote: 3E Eberron

Request granted: 3E Eberron

RIFTS, main rulebook. RIFTS Atlantis especially

The TMNT RPG too
or TMNT: Turtles in Time about time travel

I'm doing d20 modern, and probably Urban Arcana and d20 future

Once I finish Complete Book of Necros I will do Arcane Power from 4e.

anything OOP it seems. so 4th edition and 4E are old school from what i have been told and see since DDN exist in some form.

My request would be for Superworld, Chaosium's superhero RPG (based on BRP).

Has anyone covered Vampire: The MastqueradeImmortal: The Invisible War before?

I have my eyes of Rifts:Main Rule book, but I won't be able to get to it until the weekend at the earliest.

I've got a hankerin for Rifts World Book One Vampire Kingdoms... tho every time I try to sit down and work on it, wife and/or kids intervene. I'm still on the damn introduction. =-o


[edit: I'm pretty much done but need to do some finishing touches and scans of a couple pages for funsies... dang it is slow going doing this between full time work, parenting two crazy boys and such. I'm wishing I'd done this with one of my role playing buddies since that would have added more flair]

I did Draconomicon. If I recall correctly, Libris Mortis was the next monster book released. Anyone mind if I do that one?

By all means, go for it!

Having finished battlesystem, I'd like to do an OSSR for a proper 2e product, see how much of the nostalgia is justified. I'm thinking of one of the following, and taking requests. Even if one gets a few requests, it might still be a week or 4 before it gets started though...

[*]DM Option: High-Level Campaigns - While Dragon Kings may have been the first time in 2e that they toyed with 21+ material (that I know of), this is where they went and did it for the general game. And also where they tried to talk to the DM about what a high level game looks like.
[*]Chronomancer - Time traveling wizard shenanigans. New classes, new spells, time travel mechanics, and time travel campaign suggestions. It's written by Loren L. Coleman...
[*]Shaman - Someone decided that druids and clerics didn't cover the "commune with and bind spirits to get powers from them" theme, so they wrote some new priest classes to do that. More new spells, campaign stuff, etc.
[*]Nothing - It might be the case that you we have enough OSSRs right now or you hate the words that come out of my mouth. And since I have plenty of other things to be doing, it's fine if you don't want me to waste my time with another OSSR.

I for one would like to see DM Options: High Level Play.
