Does anyone know if Mongoose is going to produce the expansion to the Paranoia card game? Mark Charke

Goodbye Gary Gygax. You will be missed. Mark Charke

Cool about the movie. I'll have to track it down. It might be bad but it's still Starship Troopers... Mark Charke

I have been assured that the card game expansion is definetly in the works. That is, of course, like saying the gun is loaded but I really hope to see it. It'll give me all the excuse I need to terrorize my gaming group once again. (Please, oh please, oh please, expand the rulebook with...

What new Starship Troopers (non-rpg/minatures) is there out there? They did a couple of comic serries a while back, but is there anything else? Has the CGI serries come out on DVD yet? Is there any talk of a third movie? Mark Charke

Hurray another chance! Some years ago Mongoose Publishing had an open call for a writer and I spent two months writing a book and cramming four years worth of Babylon 5 into my brain. I kept meaning to get around to season 5 and watch the movies and it looks like I have a reason to now! Of...

So THIS is how you get that massive post count. It's all monkey business! Mark Charke

Those are a tough bunch of choices. I have to choose babylon 5. It's a tough problem with the OGL that everyone pretty much needs to go out and buy the new book to be able to play. That can be a hard sell when everyone already has the PHB. It's a lot easier to get them into a d20 campaign...

I would like to see medival space rules, without harking back to Spell Jammer. Characters of about 10th level have the capacity to get into space with spellcasting. Right now, it's mostly suicide with a few options for the creative player and game master to play with. Mark Charke

I've got a funny story, the sort of story you know you shouldn't tell but you do anyway. I was researching Lone Wolf a while back when Mongoose was looking for a new writer and, well, I made a mistake. I picked up most of the Lone Wolf and Cub serries, an amazing serries about a samurai...

I started D&D so that I could play the non-humans and they have been a lot of fun. However in the limited time I have spent not behind the shield my favorite race has been the min-maxed half grey/aquatic elf grabbing up the Intelligence bonus to become a wizard and getting waterbreathing. The...

I remember myself as an inocent youth all eager and excited. I got special PROMO tickets to go see the NEW dungeons and dragons movie in Vancouver at a special screening with prizes and much nerdy talk. Wahoo! The horror.... A room full of Dungeon Masters and dedicated players and we all...

Knights of the Dinner table started doing "generic" NPCs too. What this really meant is that the NPCs had no stats - making them useless. Its a good idea but without stats, even the more creative NPC has trouble interacting with the other characters. What IS is cook check? Can he SPOT the...
