I’m a thirtysomething dad and IT professional living in the Austin, TX area. I started gaming way back in the day, 1982, with the TSR space opera game Star Frontiers. Since then I've been an avid roleplayer. I went to 5 Gen Cons, was a regional Triad for the RPGA's Living Greyhawk campaign, helped start a gaming club (the FORGE) in Memphis, TN, et cetera.

I GM and play a variety of RPGs; currently Pathfinder is in heavy rotation as well as various non-D&D-based games.

comment Any advice on a good Respawn system for pathfinder
To have this question not be too open ended, answerers should use Good Subjective, Bad Subjective critera. We do not want your random opinions, that's not what RPG.SE is for - please cite real systems for this you've used or seen used.

comment What resources should I use to create a mod for d20 Modern?
If you're going for d20, it really seems like it's silly to not take the existing Starship Troopers RPG and just change it to be less movie-ey and more book-y.

Hey man! Sorry, but this is an opinion/polling kind of question and not really in scope for this site per our faq. We look for questions where there's criteria for a best answer.

As a bonus, here's an unpublished Ecology of the Gray Render article that was going to go into Dragon Magazine but ended up never going in: enworld.org/forum/…

@Zachiel I think the 10 other answers that ignore his actual question to give him that advice have it covered.

comment What are the most beginner friendly table top role playing games?
Closing this mainly because the answers all suck and this is a decent question that, perhaps asked again, might garner answers.

comment I am a novice, so are my friends. What should we start out with?
The question you are asking is technically a duplicate of rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/18619/… but you should probably start with this instead: rpg.stackexchange.com/questions/4457/…

comment Looking for a Space marine RPG similar to Starship Troopers (the Novel)
I don't think this question is scoped very well and as a result it's getting every SF game ever as an answer. Please consider revising your question with better requirements than "Mobile Infantry" and "I don't care about system."
