I'm also hoping to use LoTFP Death Frost Doom, and Matt Finch's Pod Caverns of the Sinister Shroom. The other purchase may not have seen the light of day in my game, but are there for inspiration. Personally I like using these products for two reasons a lack of time on my part, and I find my imagination muscles are just not what they used to be it these things help fire up the creative juices.Regamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14568470239734853393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-23473522864075409192010-09-24T19:37:44.768-04:002010-09-24T19:37:44.768-04:00Advanced Edition Companion.

Maybe once things are calm, or not, because it will be Halloween and I'm still hoping on Chaosium to let out Masks of Nyarlathotep. And I was playing Little Fears 2E earlier in the year. However, I wouldn't consider me the best example: Prior to the LF game, I hadn't played a roleplaying game in years. Board games yes. Video games yes.<br /><br />Paranoia was only selected because the gamers were not into the idea of playing S&W.

My players and I really like the fact that you can construct really cool characters with "3.75" - including monsters and whatnot - with a really "hi-res" and inspirational toolbox. However, we're somewhat torn, as playing these characters sometimes gets cumbersome and, since we're all making interesting folks rather than equally-effective characters, wonky math.
