You then get the question of whether dark satire space marines as the heroic good guys of the 40K universe are taken straight as non satire space Nazi heroes. Judge Dredd gets this too.

I don't know about that, in many things I would really want at least a little more data. I am put off by both the Confederacy romanticizing of both fiction that whitewashes the Confederacy by making them not really about slavery (I believe the Deadlands version has them naturally move past...

From reading it, it was very cool and flavorful, but the mechanics did not seem to create a coherent D&D character role niche and did not seem to be designed to make a useful or powerful set of powers. You had huge flexibility day to day in setting your powers for the day, but they each seemed...

Eh, Sort of. 5e 14 says a DM can call for rolls or not, here is the system for calling for rolls including a difficulty chart. You can know if a check is called for how good your PC is compared to your buddy's PC from the stats on your sheet. If there is a check it gives a common framework and...

You seem to be under the misapprehension that because I do not like an element of a piece of fiction and I am critical of that element that I don't like the fiction as a whole. I really like Firefly, Deadlands, Wheel of Time, etc. though I am not a fan of the elements of them that romanticizes...

Non weapon proficiencies were in the 2e PH and part of a whole chapter on proficiencies and had done out ability based mechanics for a lot of them (some were like feats in giving non ability based stuff). They were, however, explicitly an optional 2e system and not the only one. A lot of options...

1e didn't have that as a tradition, it had a bunch of one off resolutions, often leaving it to the DM to ad hoc a resolution. The mechanisms that were there were sometimes based on ability scores, sometimes based on race or class or levels or just flat rolls, possibly modified by abilities or...

It would work, I would play. Make a lot of stuff class and background based for bonuses on checks. Could give a small bonus (replacing a stat bonus) for the whole class list of skills then add proficiency for chosen skills.

FRA2 Black Courser (2e) 2e Undead: ? More Advanced Form of Undead: Upon dying, persons marked with the stamp [of Tan Chin] become undead and march to Solon to join the Raja's army. Usually, such victims become zombies, but especially powerful characters (9th level and above) become a more...
