This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

This Burning Empires business seems pretty decent

I finished a short campaign (1 phase, usurpation).  It was fun.

I think player buy-in is nicely established by the worldbuilding session.

Quote from: Tom BI sat down with BW and tried to design several PCs from other systems that I had run in the past and really enjoyed.  Nothing outrageous.  I couldn't come close to the concepts in BW.  The terminology is escaping me...it's been a year or so...  But I had real problems with which Lifepaths you were allowed to change to.  Certain LP changes made perfect sense but were not allowed.

Ok. Gotcha. I haven't tried that, and I'd rather not. I can see where you're coming from though.
Running: HarnMaster, and prepping for Werewolf 5.

Quote from: Z-DogThe player buy-in is substantial. Having more than one copy of the book is essential, in my opinion. The .pdf is great for searching, but I needed a copy in my hand to really grok stuff. Being familiar w/ Chris M.'s work is nice, but not essential. And as someone said above, it's actually 600 pages of stuff.


Which is a stunning piece of marketing when you think about it! Two, or three games texts for each group playing. Genius. In leiu of a heap of supplements, that's potentially a corking bit of marketing.
