Well what do you think those whom have read it?
Have you played it yet?
Has your barbarian rolled a 20 and slung every goblin ten feet back?
Has you assassin rolled a 20 and sprayed blood on the victims companions causing them to run in fear?
Has your fighter rolled a 20 and done TRIPLE Damage?

NOVEL RPG: Hero's Mag News Update.
Hero's Mag: LATEST NEWS (from my comic book world)...
Well there were a few people saved from disaster from Hurricane Isaac by the Southern Knights out of their Houston base. A huge Cartel strike force was also thwarted as well that showed up in Louisiana to try and take out the Southern Knights.
Since the third plane hit the Protectors Base in York back on 911 the city is in a complete downfall with a death rate of 30,000 just this year alone. Not only is New York a criminal war zone it is beginning to spread all over the North East. The is a spike is organized and Supers crime in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Boston. Is there anyone going to save us? Save our country?
Several explosions rocked the south as the Cartel keeps up it's pressure on the Southern Knights. Quite a few refineries, police stations, and minor Supers hangouts were bombed in New Orleans, Houston, Little Rock, Dallas, and Atlanta. Over 1500 dead and 3000 injured. Other smaller Cartel related events happened but have not been connected as of yet. Are the Southern Knights going to do something? What relevance are they in this modern world if they can't even stop the Cartel?
The Republican Nation Convention is still recovering from the delegate debacle when some Ron Paul supporters and delegates who were also supers got out of control and destroyed most of the convention center. The GOP Supers team The Right Wing came in and put a thrashing on those wackos and looser and put them in their place. Mitt Romney was quickly nominated at a secret location even though the delegates were not there as many were injured by the disturbance. There are no other details as the supers in question have been put into a detention facility. Good job Right Wings!
Israel and the Obama administration are keeping up on talks of military intervention in Iran. There are crack teams of Supers in the Military read to go and are in various Governmental Training Facilities. This is going to be a really interesting war as Russia and China have both stated they will defend Iran and have moved the military and various Supers teams into the region.
The Billionaire and adventure Goldbar is doing big stock sell off and buying up precious metals. In fact many of the mega rich are selling stocks and buying up precious metals at this time. When asked what is going on Goldbar only responded whit this statement "If you can't see this baby is about to collapse and burn then you deserve what is going to happen to you. This country is toast and to let yet another cat out of the bag all my governmental contacts and mega business contacts are all making bunkers in preparation for something real bad. Let me tell you get prepped because something bad is coming!" All I can say is it looks like Goldbar has relapsed back into Drug abuse again.
THIS IS THE LATEST NEWS STAY TUNED FOR MORE!

HMMM? What if you mixed Basic D&D with 4th Edition D&D?
What if you mixed Basic D&D with 4th Edition D&D?
Like only the powers simplified and no feats or very few feats or simple added class features.
The monsters would be simplified as well. Definitely LOWER hit points.
Kinda like the did in Heroes of Neverwinter on Facebook.
May be fun?
Damn the Gamer ADD is kicking in again!

Who will control the destiny of D&D Next?
Who will control the destiny of D&D Next?
Well I would have to say when D&D Next was announced I could give a flying fudge what the hell they did. BUT! They changed my mind when I heard their Gen Con seminar.
It seems that Mike wants the game to go back to story. I like what they want to do with the Forgotten Realms. It just looks kick ass. The last play test release was very simple yet impressive.
Is it going to be the munchkin players who over inflate the rules and think HEY that is good stuff! Every character is a 10 page novel. OR are the Old Schoolers going to come en mass and put their opinions onto how and what this game will turn into?
So far the game is keeping a steady course of simpleness reminiscent of Basic with a small twist of 3rd edition.
The opinions are stacking up quickly by many who want the game to go in more complicated directions.
Unneeded complicated directions. They know not what they do.
SO what are you bloggers going to do? Or dare I say this is what you need to do.
First take a look at the play test packets. See what I am talking about. Like or dislike give you opinion. Let them know.
Let WotC know.
They have all but admitted their mistakes. Help form this game that we all love or at least the simple core of the game into something cool.
The renaissance has become a revolution and much of the revolution was influenced by the OSR kid not yourself.
SO who is with me?
What say you?!?

So is the OSR kinda DEAD? I keep hearing the QUESTION! Is D&D Next the answer for everybody?
SO I have actually read over the D&D Next Playtest rules and I have to say the voices screaming out in the wilderness of the OSR either have been heard or D&D has organically returned to it's roots kinda.
D&D Next looks like it's going to be a really cool game so far. I would say a tiny bit more complicated than 2nd edition AD&D but it will flow slightly quicker. I have printed out the latest playtest material and I am going to whip up a few characters.
Like it's mostly failed predecessor it does have that get you playing real quick that 4th edition had. Lots of premade equipment list and such for a class or backgrounds.
It is kinda a combination of all the editions past but it seems to have it's heart in basic and 3rd edition mixed kinda.
The best part of it all is according to Mike Mearles the game is going to be about STORY! If that is the focus then it is going to kick ass. If it is only sales then they will fail!
You roll your D20 attributes all six of them 4d6 take away the lowest and then place them. Thank god that is back. Point buys make such dumbass characters.
Pick your race! Damn they did some really good write ups on the races. I get that funny feeling in my gut I got 33 years ago when I started playing.
Pick your class. Just four opps I mean six classes.
Pick a background (optional) Your character could have a background, a story
that describes where he or she came from, his or her original occupation, and the character’s place in the D&D world. Okay I like this alot. It makes people role play and think of story.
Pick a Specialty (optional) Just as your class tells you what you can do, your specialty tells you how you do it. A specialty further defines your character’s preferred combat tactics and investigative methods, arising from particular studies, inherent talents, or focused training.
The one thing about D&D Next is it is expandable with more sourcebooks to come but if they are careful it won't break this version of the game like 3rd edition and somewhat 4th edition.
Over all it looks easy to run and easy to play but not as easy as my RPG but as usual I have really bad timing and so far very few people are looking at my game.
The next thing with Next is the Forgotten Realms. Dammit if they ain't got me wanting to go out and buy the novels right now. The default setting will be Forgotten Realms after "the Sundering".
Some say FR is generic and boring but I think they are just mad their setting did not get published. I have never ran FR BUT I have played it and after reading many of the novels it became a real world to me.
As I get older I loose the urge (and the time) to sit back and create huge settings and worlds.
The best thing is they claim that they are going to open the adventures to the players and let them be important in the FR world actually shaping the setting. That is cool.
What am I talking about?
Watch the damn Gen Con video. Man that Ed Greenwood is cool. I bet he is a damn kickass DM.
This almost makes me want to put on my writer's hat and start writing a FR story. Hell I might just do an outline as I don't know what the hell the Sundering is.

Classic Fantasy Role Playing Game: Update
Well I am back to having thoughts of releasing the rest of my CFRPG.
It's like 99% done but after the Word Processor Formatting Demon Possession Problems I had I kinda gave up.
The announcement of D&DNext was kind of a bummer but at the same time I like what I see but I also just am not excited. Maybe it's the few thousands of $$$s they already got from me.
I dunno.
I need to get my Neo-Clone out to the world as a personal quest as there have been a few members of the "community" that have naysayed your good and kind Eldrad.
I stayed classy and did not respond in a FuhQDiK but I should have. I will not say whom but it still bugs me although a long time ago.
BUT I must say the rest of the "community" is the cat's meow! Except for a few that never...Oh never mind.
I am so close but this gamer's block that I have! BUT I must admit every time I look upon an old D&Dish type game from modern to olden I get bugged.
The oldens and the clones the same (some say stupid) restrictions that hamper role play.
The modern the same overcomplicated CLUNK that hampers role play.
"Uh yeah my Half Unicorn Vampire Half-Dragon Were-Bulette Lich with a Shirley Temple Template Fighter Thief Death Wizard Exotic Dancer Uses her or his Damper Jet Plane Feat and does a five foot step and warps back in time using his Alter Time Space power to get an opportunity attack with sneak damage ans critical hit because he is a Quadruple three weapon specialist. That's a uh 4+7+16+93+1d20! I roll a uh 234 yeah! WHadda ya mean you have a reverse megaton feat??" Pages are flipped the rest of the night looking for the rules! LOL!
The solution?
A game as simple as the classics but with SOME of the options of the new BUT without RULES bloat.
Easy to Run and Easy to Play!
My Game! The one that had very little to no response from the OSR Blogger world due to way too many games bloat form the OSR but at least they are mostly all free!
BUT it would be argued by a few that I am wrong! Some in the OSR like the restrictions!
Many if not most of the New School don't even pay attention. LOL!
"We only play 4th Edition"
"We only play Pathfinder"
"That old stuff is OOKIE! Stuff!"
Forgive them Gods of Gaming! They know not what they do! OR maybe it is I that does no know! LOL! I am going to bed.
