Michael, o-i-am, Talus and others, Thanks for the warm welcome and interest in my RPG efforts. I've created a new folder in the Files area called MEAG. This is...
I have loved tRPGs very much over the years and have really gotten close to a closed group of friends because of games like DnD 3e, Spycraft, and even Star...
I believe you can accomplish this idea with pretty much any system. Just ignore all the rules you don't actually need. Don't use complex combat and keep...
Here's an idea I've used for basic RPG sessions. It does not really apply to any popular rule structure. Have a very short list of attributes. Such as: 1-...
Excellent point, Chad. The whole idea is to assess what level of realism and detail you and your players want. Then either pick the system with the correct...
So, things are getting pretty busy for the game, we've got it up for sale now and have started releasing free content. We are looking for people to review the...
Hi all, Just a short note to let you know that the Arborellium, the official forum for the Chronicles of Arborell gamebook series is now active. Whereas this...
Originally, vehicle control was just a subskill of the Technical skill in Modern Action RPG, but I've been a bit unhappy about that, and recently I decided to...

... Thanks for the input, but I'm not asking whether my basic design, the structure I've outlined, will be good. I am convinced that it will. It combines the...
Obviously general sources should be admitted to. Often doing so is productive, in that it helps you attract those players that are in the target audience for...
Have any of you ever looked into computer-generated HTML character sheets? Especially for serious, high-detail systems? I'm thinking it might be reasonable...
... Not really, but if you intend to make a program calculate derived characteristics and check point expenditure, it seems like a good idea to print using...

I'm currently busy on a number of non-RPG projects, mostly related to job and stuff like that, so I have very little time, alas, to spend on RPG-creation....
A while back, I came across a homebrew RPG that rated characters by colors... Each color being assigned to certain types of actions: Yellow for Energy, Green...

Question for you math people out there, although I'm looking for approximations. The Third Kingdom uses a Size score, the human average of which is 15 and the...
... Generally, volume (and, hence, mass) increases cubically with radius and projected surface area (which is the main relevant measure for determining how...
Todd, I'd look into the Size/Range/Speed table that GURPS (Steve Jackson Games) uses and see if you can approximate what you need in your system from that. The...
