Heh. Critical mass. That's a term I often use, and yes, 3 is usually my magic number.

I'll jot you down, Goken100.

The rules should serve the game, not vice-versa.
Use the rules, but don't let the rules use you!

Three PCs and a GM is my favorite group size, for everything except Amber. I'm pretty happy with two-pc groups too, but can handle four okay for things like superhero games.

Best,


Jim

Gotcha.

However, folks, at this point I forsee the need to actually do chargen on site. I only got 3 done. If anyone has a book, please bring it. Or, if you already have a character idea brewing. Or, drop by the RPGnet 28 character thread and nab an idea...

http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=302729

If needed, we can resort to some quick methods.

5. diaglo runs around proclaiming: OD&D(1974) is the only true game. All the other editions are just poor imitations of the real thing.

w00t!

The game happened! I had a blast. I hadn't realized our GM was an RPG.Net legend until afterward, which makes it even cooler, but it was fun regardless. Thank you GM and fellow players!

Best,


Jim

I'm an RPGnet legend? I'd be curious to know how that observation came out. Did someone there say it?

Anyways thanks for playing, and I'm glad fun was had. Though the character situation didn't quite go the way I wanted, I think I learned something from it and am sort of entertaining the thought of more "skeletal" characters and letting the players mainly fill in aspects. There's no way I could come up with some of those aspects if I was making all the characters. Filling in skills and stunts, I can do.

I just put a mind-numbingly detailed account on my LJ where I declared the condition of the pregens just about ideal. Seriously, filling in the Skills and Stunts but leaving almost half the Aspects open was inspired. And of course you were cool about modifying the skill pyramids too, which was great. It made it easy for me to get a character into playable shape pretty quickly.

Best,


Jim
