We coined the term "Level Up!"

This thread is all about Pen and Paper RPG's. (Any game that runs on the d20 system)

Tell us about your favorite P&P RPG's and why you think they FALCON KICK total ass. Or tell us if you find a really obscure or overlooked one, those are always interesting.

My personal favorite one is Dungeons and Dragons. (D&D) I like it because it gives you so much freedom. You can make just about anything. From wicked kick ass acid spitting dragons made of DIAMONDS, to enchanted rusty daggers. Plus it's really easy to pick up and play. It may look complicated, but once you get the basic game lingo down, it's pretty simple, and fun as all hell. I like to take the D&D Three Dragon Ante card game and use it in my campaigns to have comical gambling sessions with my characters and others.

D&D is pretty cool, but I used to have my own. It was called Swords and Spells (fail, i know) and the basic premise was that the way you decide everything --everything down to every word in a conversation-- was decided by flipping a coin. tedious, but fun for teh lulz. Also, there was some steampunk one I did for a while. Kinda cool.

Sir, would you liek a tabletop forum? There's room!

YES! This pleases Falcon. And a steampunk tabletop game? That sounds interesting.

2 things:

You're a mod now! You can do it, just maek sure it's in the right area.

and I thought you hated steampunk?

Certain types of Steampunk yes.

What designates a type of steampunk to you? It's almost all the same to me.

There's dark steampunk and heavy industrial steampunk. There's a difference.

Ive actually seen quite a few types of steampunk . For instance , Last Exlie had quite a heavy steampunk influence , but at the same time had a ton of sci fi elenemts. Its possible for steampunk to be quite a few things, but i generally think of a kind of Renaissance / 1800s to define it (think Rise of Legends).

I'll bring in robots to the 1920s cop films, like Automata. I call it: Technoir.

Guiz I don't know what steampunk is. Enlighten me?

One word.

Bioshock.

Well...I think it's two...But it's a compound word! So FUCK YOU GRAMMAR!

Oh so wait whut?


It's like... old fashioned? Like the Inkspots or something?

Steampunk is basically, Tomorrow's technology yesterday.

In English, A futuristic past.

Thief II: The Metal Age is one of my favorite steampunk settings.

And now I understand.

You have gained +1 favor.

Whichever you want, my friend, whichever you want.
