I am not the same guy that runs EN world. I just happen to have almost exactly the same name. His name is actually a typo of mine, with an extra "s" inserted, by accident.

Thanks go to C. Ross for pointing this out. =)

Check out the Brian's dd4 RPG project in The Back Room (site chat). It's pretty neat.

comment Good techniques for getting player-character backgrounds integrated into the game?
"Dont kill your PC's family and dont destroy his home": I disagree. I would rather say: do this only sparingly, and where it makes sense in the story. If you kill off every PC dependent, it's a tired trick, and a source of player frustration. If you do it once, it can make a story arc. You also have to judge the maturity of your players when deciding whether or not to do this. (In an old Shadowrun game, I used this trick just once - to establish a personal vendetta between the PCs and the main villain.)

Prisoner's Dilemma is also a computer science puzzle, if you are interested in machine learning =)

comment What book is “HP” in Shadowrun?
@OpaCitiZen: Yes, that's the one. I recommend it highly, and it's actively maintained (new version just came out today, actually....).

comment What effect does shooting Tenser's Floating Disk out of a catapult have?
Is there even a rule that says the size of a catapult's payload determines its damage? This is 4E we're talking about. Physics does not apply.

comment What programming languages are used in Shadowrun?
Good point. So, I guess the next version would be C8va (an octave higher)? Not very catchy, though. Maybe it could be pronounced "Cava".
