New to Judge Dredd RPG

[Greggoman]

What are the core rulebooks? You know pure neccesities?

And what are really good/fun/useful?

 

[Standing-Stone]

Ok so I only need GoMC1 rulebook and the GM screen?

Does the rulebook differ from the one used for GoMC1?

 

[Mage]

Ok, GOMC1 is a miniatures game, while judge dredd is an RPG, the two being completely different sets of rules, the former being for skirmish combat, tha latter being for role playing.
As far as I know all you need for Judge Dreed is the core book.

 

[Greggoman]

I know the differences but when you go into the judge dredd section of Mongoose website theres the GoMC1 rulebook as the core rulebook

 

[Mage]

Its probably just there for a snese of completion. You could use it if you wanted, to say, make combat more detailed or no a larger scale.

However, GOMC 1 is a good game, but other than the fact it is set in the dredd universe, they are in no way similar, IMHO.

JD the rpg was d20.
It is now unfortunately out of print. Many of us hoped it was to make a new version, combining it with the Miniatures game, allowing for a larger base.

 

[Greggoman]

O rite why'd it go out of print?

 

[Rob_A]

No one knows...

Probably something to do with popularity.

o =[ strange how the other jd things are imprint but the core rulebook isn't...

Not really, they only do so many print runs and you tend to sell more core books than copies of any one supplement.

E-Bay son...you can get it all cheap...I did...

I don't even play roleplaying games but the resource is useful...and quite well written...

Ouch thats a pricey download. I thin I'll follow UMV and check the old ebay

 

[Ray]

Typical. I finally get the money for it, and it's out of print.

Any my FLGS has just had their distributor have a "Fire Sale" of sorts, and is out of pretty much everything.

Oh well, will try anyhow.

 

[Greggoman]

that really does suck ray, never mind. If you REALLY want it I guess you could download the pdf version

 

[Reborn]

Greg go to Waterstone's in Oxford - there's a copy there.

 

[Greggoman]
