Wait, I thought that was just D&D.
For fuck\'s sake, these are games, people.

And no one gives a fuck about your ignore list.

Nah, AD&D1 was for stoners.

AD&D2 was for people who still had imaginary friends.

3e was for MtG players.

3.5e was for Mathematicians.

4e was for MMOGers (and the odd Ron Edwards fan who hadn't yet died of autoerotic asphyxiation.)

5e will herald the ending of the Fifth World and the beginning of the Sixth, so no one will be playing RPGs, because we'll all be living Shadowrun.

We kicked around an idea in a SR group about running a game in the Sixth Age of Middle Earth, Shadowrun in Gondor...

My impression of HACKMASTER is that it's a homage-parody to the late 80's top-heavy, creaking, ambulatory deathbed of a first edition D&D that also somehow canonized most of the suggested "rules extras" from the pages of Dragon magazine.

Also that it would probably have been better off staying as an offstage satire of that era of roleplaying in the pages of KODT.
Perforce, the antithesis of weal.

Would that be Hackmaster 4th, Hackmaster 5th, or are you aware there's a difference? :D

that would be HackMaster 4e you speak of -- from ten years ago. ;) A parody by necessity (and a very successful one at that).

HM5e is a different animal. Not much in common with AD&D except for the basic stuff like classes, races etc.

But yes -- definitely pick a game that suits your style and play it til the wheels fall off. ;) Plenty of games (and players apparently) to go around.

Game on!

Not sure about Hackmasteras a game I'd play/run Jolly but the HoB is tempting me.  And those pretty covers.....

Interesting that a topic on the new edition of Hackmaster has spent over half its time not talking about Hackmaster. Can we infer from this that there's not much noteworthy in it (same old same old)?

Gotcha, I'd do the album cover thing but I like Lily.  Hint for you guys.  I would go with Cocteau Twins but I can't tell you which album cover in case I decide to use it. Remember I am a cat.:)

Thanks again. ;) I actually did the design work on both the HOB and PHB before it got kicked around during the approval process. Come up with the embossment design for the PHB really red lined my meager graphic design skills.

I ran a Shadowrun game set in the future of the world of Ravenloft. Strahd Industries, The Azarolich virus, a cyborg Lord Soth, etc. Great fun.

Jesus Wept, that would be awesome, a cyborg Lord Soth is about as metal as it gets.
