Hi, Tom again. Well folks? Any ideas? Send them to gherity@tcfreenet.org Thanks! Hello! Its been a long time since I popped my head up and said howdy! Anyway, several of us on the a 7th Sea newsgroup (www.onelist.com/community/7thSeaGamingAide) have been kicking around the idea of using Neverwinter Nights (an upcoming cfrpg based on WoTC's/TSR's Third Edition D&D rules) as a vehicle to run a 7th Sea RPG variant. It will take some doing, but it is entirely possible. I was wonder if anyone has thought of using this vehicle/engine/medium to run other games as well. I know that there are some inherent problems with conversion of the games to the D20 system, but I think that it would be well worth it. One of the other systems I would love to see sprout up would be Call of Cthulhu. Now that WoTC have the rights to produce a Call of Cthulhu RPG with the D20 system, it would be incredibly easy. Just thinking about placing The Dreamlands, Kingsport, Innsmouth, Arkham, London, Cairo, etc., etc., online as vibrant gaming 'realms' gives me chills and makes me want to get started right away! If anyone has any suggestions, questions, etc.
then please email me (draeven57@yahoo.com)
for further discussion. By the way, Neverwinter Nights can be found at www.neverwinternights.com
. Read the faqs. Check it out. It is going to be pretty cool and
apparently VERY versatile... Nice to see you back, Russell! Let's see if any of our visitors and/or members have anything to contribute to your cause! Guild Master Thanks for the excellent Throwing
Stones dice summary. I've been looking for something like that for
quite some time. :) Glad that we could help! And thank you for writing! It's always nice to get feedback (especially when it's good!) Guild Master I have a problem. I've just found out, one of my
favorite RPG chat rooms is shutting down. Perhaps you could send a shout
out on your page, asking if anyone knows of other RPG chat rooms on the
net that are text-based, real time, non java/ICQ style rooms accessible
with a text based browser? I know it's asking a lot, but with help, I
might be able to find myself a new chatting home. If anyone has any information, please email me directly so I can send the message to TG. guild_master@nggnet.com and please enter CHAT as the subject. Thank you all! I hope that this helps, TG! Guild Master UPDATE: - TG Do you *have* to contribute something at least
once a month? No, once you contribute something (that we use) your are an official member! If anyone out there has any questions about our membership requirements, PLEASE email me! I want people to be informed! Guild Master Hi, I have been an avid gamer for the past 2 years. I am a part of a regular gaming group that plays mostly AD&D. I was wondering what other good RPGs are out there. I have played the Palladium, Shadowrun, Wheel of Time, and Cyberpunk systems, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Can you give me a list of other popular systems? Also, I wanted to know if the White Wolf games are any good. Also, I remember that there was a Lord of the Rings RPG from way back, do you know if that is any good? Thanks.-Andrew What other good RPG's are out there? There are plenty! Other popular systems are, as you were wondering, White Wolf's RPG's. There is plenty there to keep you interested! How about Legend of the Five Rings RPG? I have heard wonderful things about that system. There's Deadlands, Star Wars, and one that you were wondering about - Middle Earth Role-Playing. This one, I have not played, but have heard WONDERFUL things about. One thing to note on that one though - ICE (Iron Crown Enterprises) is no longer holding the license to make Middle Earth products. However, there is a movie in the works, and after that we should expect an onslaught of ME games. Keep your eye on the NGG in the future, Andrew. If you are a member you will soon be able to participate in the Members-Only discussion group where you can ask people these questions to everyone out there and they can give you plenty of info and answer more specific questions as well. I know that I am looking forward to that! Guild Master Hello: Thank you for writing! Guild Master Dear NGG: I am a film and multimedia
music composer and teacher. I am looking for local sources of
information and networking regarding computer games and game production
to integrate into my school's career outreach programs for our students.
Would NGG be a good place to find people who are involved in producing
games locally? I am very interested in developing strategic alliances
with local game producers. Also, when and what is NGG Game Day? Thanks
in advance for any response you might care to send along. I know that there are a few game producers in MN. Unfortunately, we don't have much information on them. The only one that I know of well is Atlas Games (http://www.atlas-games.com). Give them a try. I will see if I can find out any more information for you. UPDATE - you also might want to check out Fantasy Flight Games - they are local and are a bunch of nice fellows! NGG Game Day is the third Sunday of EVERY month! Stop by to learn new games, teach others your favorite games, or just come to watch the fun! It's a shame that it's only once a month! More information. |
