My FLGS sold out completely within a single day!

Supposedly BI sold out just through pre-orders from stores and web retailers (ala Amazon) alone.

<t>There are two theories I've heard put forward: one is that GW is expecting a downturn in the market and is cutting their least-profitable divisions so as to allow greater maneuverability. (I'd imagine that the profit margins on the RP books are far lower than those on novels.)<br/> <br/> The othe...

Its a little harder for other editions of the game, especially GWd20.

La la la la. Doesn't exist. I can't hear you.

<t>Which Falkenstein book?<br/> <br/> The first (GURPS Castle Falkenstein, identifiable via its red cover) is just a conversion of the old R. Talsorian Games system/setting to GURPS.<br/> <br/> The second (GURPS Castle Falkenstein: Ottoman Empire, identifiable via its green cover) is a sourcebook fo...

yes, you heard that right. Cowpunk.

Oddly enough, that's also the name of a musical sub-genre.

That would be me.

Side note: I'm impressed by his cover to Flashbacks. A well-done update and homage to the old Send in the Clones cover.

I've got many books that I'm not certain will be useful. Pretty much as long as it wasn't a book full of new classes or feats, I picked it up in the hopes that something can be gleaned from it that I can use.

It's because they're so easily overlooked. Sorry, Col. I'll stop.

True enough, I suppose.

The two HU games I was in soured me on the Palladium system so I suppose that, other than a few flips through some other sourcebooks, I've never paid too much attention to them.

<t>Heroes Unlimited is the only superheroes game I've actually played in. My only complaint with it (other than that I'm not a huge fan of the Palladium system) was that I found character creation to be an incredibly tricky business -- what with the fact that some of the character archetypes seem to...

Hello, all. Some of you may have seen me around other forums. (I know serl has, at the least.)

I'm mainly just here to watch and read, though my naturally chatty nature may make me comment more eventually.

Until then: hello.

<t>According to the info on RPGnet (I'd link to it, but I don't have the minimum required number of posts yet ), it was supposed to have been released at GenCon. Haven't seen any reviews of it anywhere yet, but I haven't been looking too hard. The WoD setting never really was my thing.<br/> <br/> I'...
