It was the last GenCon in Milwaukee, WI. I had just completed running a demo for Thunderhead Games' Bluffside: City on the Edge setting. Ah, poor old Bluffside. They went through a short resurgence and I beleive they were planning on publishing 3 new manuals for that setting and then the company su...

I can't get enough Heroes. I started off not interested because it looked like another soap, but it caught me. I find the writing is similar to Battlestar Galactica which I am avidly watching. I went online and caught all 10 short episodes on the resistance (BsG) which are cool.

One of Nedderpik's cannons slowly rises and turns to face the oblivious mech below. There is a tremendous whoosh. The air turns green with steam, not white, and the mech's softer components are vaporized. Being that the mech was controled by green slime, it has no controller and no ruber components ...

I was actually just planning on doing it myself. I posted it hoping Mr. Goodman would come screaming over and yell "thats a great idea" and pay me a million, no a billion, dollars to do it. (Can you tell I just saw Superman Returns, again, on DVD?) With interest in mind though, it might no...

You don't actually need to open this door to control Neddirpik - you ARE in the command center. The next room could be a closet.... "gifts??" Bad Command or File Name Searching... Bad Command or File Name Bad Command or File Name Bad Command or File Name Bad Command or File Name Santa.Exe....

Yes and no. The rules for mech creation are complex. I wanted to build and price components for the players so they have to do less work when designing a mech. For each size category there are a number of elements that remain the same for every mech, or for every mech of a certain type. You could re...

You could use the steam bomb to open the door, but a chisel or a sledgehammer to remove the slime and then just opening the door would take about 1 full minute of work - unless the door is bared somehow on the other side. The doors in this room are designed so you can always get out. The locking mec...

Actually that is part of the game. I'll, um, PM you..... ...I don't want to ruin the surprise.

Destiny of Steam and Steel Goy's Grip Music He can smell you. Sitting in the air duct right behind you he waits. He waits for you to drop your guard. He's watching. He watched you kill Hammer. He watched you breach the command center. He's watching you now. And he's still hungry. He's always hungry...

I make sure to pester Joseph with new ideas on a regular basis. I really want a shot at tweaking the mech creation rules. I think creating modules to make it easier for players to create mechs is a good way to go - and to design a spreadsheet or autocalculator would help! I'm still reading the Alman...

DSS is creeping along persistantly as is the nature of online games. I sketched a clockwork puppet for the last update and I wanted to share.

Destiny of Steam and Steel Music Namfoodle tries to guess what spell the thing might be casting/have cast. Oh it's a classic - just a fireball . There is steam and hacking and suddenly there is fire. The room turns bloody red for an instant as it becomes blinding hot. The fireball inflicts 17 point...

Every month since September has become a little busier. School and writing seem to be snowballing. I finished one book but like a boomerang it came back with requested changes just as fast. However, I have added DSS to my Microsoft Calendar so that it'll kick me in the pants each week to get an upda...

Jengenritz, damn you hit the nail on the head. I would have laughed hard but I was trying to decide if I should cry. A met a buddy from my Vollunteer FireFighting days yesterday and told him I was still working on my writing career. "So what are you working on?" "Roleplaying books.&qu...

Destiny of Steam and Steel Command Center Music Green liquid flows over you in a tidal wave of slime. It is hot and the smell hits your noses. It smells like wet moldy bread with just a hint of mint. Tempting? Perhaps not. A lot of mouths close. Robert manages to surge forward fast enough that he c...

I don't beleive there is a typo or any mistakes on the Lunar Dragon. I've brought this matter up before. Their Lunar ability covers their damage reduction, or rather, their lack of it - taking half damage from air, fire, water or no damage on a successful save and double damage from eath-based attac...

I spend a lot more time reading Goodman Games material than posting on the boards. Getting and keeping an active board is tough. It requires advertising and a lot of work on answering questions and often hiring people to do that and start topics. I contribute in my own way, running Destiny of Steam ...

Destiny of Steam and Steel Green The Clockwork puppet is fixed. It takes a lot of work and more than a few components - that just happen to be sitting around the workshop. Something is still missing. The memory core is like a spider web that is missing the spider. A key element is missing and must ...

Destiny of Steam and Steel Something Wicked Magic An almost invisible blue shimmer appears around Namfoodle, moving and flowing with him as he does. For something weightless it shimmers into cold reality, as hard as steel, when his shoulder catches a doorframe. Blind as a bat, well not really, he d...
