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.

So, you want to be an "OSR Superstar"?

Quote from: J Arcane;733243But his cheap shots about Contessa is why I blocked him, and the point in which he officially jumped the shark into pure douchedom.

Yeah, I was disappointed with that nonsense.

Quote from: Fiasco;734123Goddam, so if can come up with an RPG that combines D&D with the use of high precision, historically accurate train models we could knock Games Workshop off their perch!

Tom Wham's Iron Dragon could have been.

Technically, it would not be that much more difficult to make a steampunk looking walking mech that could move via RC across a battlefield than it would some RC cars or higher end model trains. I don't know why the Iron Kingdoms guys have not tried this.
"Meh."

Great Rail Wars for Deadlands was kind of like that.

IIRC, the rules got turned into Savage Worlds...

I was going to mention Deadlands just screamed for some O gauge railroads and minis.

Reaper makes some cool western minis and some steam punkish stuff to if you wanted to that route.

I guess the trains would have to be static though, it would be tough to concentrate with trains buzzing around in an oval.

None of this steampunk or mech nonsense. We are appealing to hard core model train enthusiasts. I'm talking a fight to death with time traveling orcs atop a perfect replica of the Flying Scotsman!

I need to bug Steve Jackson about Train Wars again some day.

Back on topic.

Eh, its a contest. Some like em some hate em.

I've had alot of ups and downs with game design contests and now-a-days just tend to avoid them unless they really tweak my interest.

I think people are making a big deal out of nothing.

Warlord Kro

I entered and didn't even notice the title. There are a lot of prizes, including stuff I will no longer get via normal cash means, but that I hanker for. I doubt there's a chance I'll win but I had an idea and really want the OD&D reprint box set.

I threw in a couple I had on the my blog. I don't care about prizes, I just like sharing my stuff.
