    Preview: Fable 3

    Who or what is this person, and why does it sound like something that isn't a game play element, so therefore not important. No, seriously, stop spending big money to get big actors and put that money back into the game to make better game play elements. If you want big actors, then maka a...

    Preview: Fable 3

    I protest, I protest, I protest. Fable did not have a horrible menu and inventory system. Fable had what is, in my opinion, the best menu and inventory system I experienced before Oblivion, and it flowed almost seemlessly into gameplay. Fable 2, on the other hand, fucked it up with one of the...

    I Was Betrayed!

    How did a cleric receive spells from a deity that he did not have true devotion to? Where was that, and why would the Lawgiver have given him the ability to cast that miracle in his name? That's what I want to know.

    Worlds in Motion

    Alright, I'll nibble on that for a bit. I will say that one of my primary biases is that there is a best way to do everything, and what is best will also depend upon your goal. And, yes, I do realize that the way I do things is difficult to teach, mostly because I end up telling people what...

    Worlds in Motion

    Okay, it's time, I think, to put the vitriol aside and actually give some contructive criticism. When you started discussing GM technique, you began by stating that your goal was to increase the number of GMs, which you saw as the choke-point for increasing the number of people who play...

    Worlds in Motion

    So that explains why you essentially tell people to create rpgs like video games, which are sub-par. In all seriousness, I've only once used a published gaming module, and the results were a complete disaster. I never worry about more than 1 or 2 game sessions ahead, because the actions of...

    Worlds in Motion

    Nope, can't be done. He's offering the same advice that's been offered before, and I've had to break so many people of these bad habits that seeing the bad advice just makes for a full on rage. Okay, so biggest point, pick your content carefully and make as little as you can get away with...

    Worlds in Motion

    Okay, no. This article is full of crazy and is seriously way too time consuming. I wonder, can I post a link to this thing for a bit of advice that works so much better: http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=517294 Apparantly I can. Awesome! Okay children, listen up. This is one of...

    Behind the Grind

    I want a MMO that fights like God of War.

    Smile and Nod: I, John Marston

    Couldn't disagree more with this article. The only thing, in fact, that you got right about this game (other than the base description of the events) is that it is not an RPG. Now listen close, 'cause this is important. RPGs aren't about stat advancement, they're about the ability to make...
