This board is for discussing all kinds of, and whatever, RPG Systems stuff that is of interest to you. As a Society we are, and will remain, System Neutral. So when the Great RPG System Wars come, we are Switzerland. Considering the high emotions that this topic tends to solicit for some reason, we ask that you please abide by our PGMS Code of Conduct when discussing RPG Systems. No Religious Fervor! No "One True Way"! No "Your System Sucks Because..."! Stealth Evangelists will be instantly nuked from orbit. You may, however, discuss system preferences, explain your uses for them, techniques, workarounds, benefits and deficits of any RPG Systems you wish, especially as pertains to Professional Gamemastering. Just do so respectful of the right of others to have differing opinions.
Having said all of that, please enjoy the board in polite and earnest conversation that will prove helpful to all who participate. You are welcome. Enjoy.

Because I'm a pedant.. How many people are going to tick your system, and how many GMs do I need to have running my system before I get my name on the list? Hmmm   |

Well, I put mine in there as a kind of self-referential nudge-nudge-wink-wink joke. Unfortunately, I found out afterwards that you can't edit a poll once you set it. Since you pointed that out it made me think ... I probably shouldn't put mine up there as that's not all that cool if I can't include everyone else's. So I'm going to take the poll down, and recreated it. If people do want to learn more about my system they can find out via other means. I don't intend to use PGMS as a platform to push my own stuff, though at some point I will ask members to take a look and hopefully provide feedback since I do think it's potentially a useful utility for Pro-GMs down the line. Anyway, stay tuned... I'm redoing the poll. I also shortened the poll. There's 1500+ indie RPG of various sorts out there. No way to include them all, so better just to let people choose 'other' and then post it below. |

As for my choice of D&D - the version I would use is Edition 1. I like it's simplicity and flexibility. I want a rules light system that I can shape the way I want as I go. I also use, of course, my own Elthos System. Those interested in taking a look at it can head on over to elthos.com and see what's there. |

Ok, cool.
So, I've seen to many complaints about Paid GMing D&D, so I'm not going to offer it, though if pushed I could run it, but I'm not a big fan of D&D in any case.
My System has enough AD&D like components that anyone requesting a D&D campaign, I'd suggest they try DD12, or for the advanced players Dungeonworld -Original (not the 2009 PbtA title)
I'm more into promoting Indie Games, I've run and will run again, other Indie developers games for them, as a test, so they get get into the head of a GM trying to work out their game.
Oh and I'm still very keen on Ars Magicka, because its so dang hard to understand how to play it.

P.s. Because this is going to be reviewed by future readers, maybe my 'pedant' comment and your reply could be deleted? and this post too? lol..

Well, actually, I think I'll leave the posts up. I don't have a problem letting people know that I make mistakes, but am also willing to correct them, as well as the original posts that prompted it. I think that would be of interest to people in terms of answering the question, "how is this place run?".
