I can see crafting challenges being incorporated into the game. Monster parts that have to be killed in a certain way. Say the monster can't be angry and fighting when it dies or it just wont' work. The parts have to be returned by a certain period of time without any magical preservation...

Ritual magic I don't necessarily want to be extemely complex but I think I want some more complex rules on complications and consequences on what happens when you cast magic that big. Do the outer planes notice? Does hell suddenly get a warm fuzzy and an note with the names of the casters if...

So it's e Exactly the same except for explanation of the source. Which with DC and marvel includes heaven, hell, and everything in between includind the fey realm, the 5th dimension of nothing but magic, and a dozen other sources of other gods, magic etc. along with the scifi stuff. Kindle...

seems more like I'll have to let you beat the dead horse till it explodes with flies......

I suppose the thing is I don't see any entertainment value in the system. I see the purpose to bleed resources. But I don't see any real entertainment or fun value out of it. It is obviously not a system for someone like me. If others like it then my opinion doesn't invalidate that.

Well once again we have a wall of extreme nonsense that no one but you argued. Continue your "appeals to the extreme "or 'Strawman Arguments" for as long as you want. No one but you is buying them..

oh I get it. I just prefer to work in things that entice the players to spend the gold on other things. It's amazing how much a player will spend on things that the DM percieves as not important. Spending money building the big house and working on becoming a noble. Funding the local...

Well if it works for the table then great. But you are trying to get the non gamblers at the table to gamble. If that's the only problem then you need to figure out what thier level of risk is. You might need to throw better rewards, you might need to have different tables with different...

well lets see. Forge the artificer, professor Xavier the psioniscist, Jean the Psionicist who can do stuff that would be arcane/divine in a standard fantasy world. Mephisto the agent of hell.....Seems like we are pulling it up from the same well. Many of the mutant powers aren't much...

Carousing is something that in my opinion should just be roleplayed out or simply not done. For the DM it's adventuring in a controlled area, there can be encounters, you can roll for gambling if the players want to do it. It's also a place characters can make friends or enemies of almost...

Well yeah. Superhero Genre is fantasy where anything goes.

so you want a game of fiction made up by another person using a system that has mecjhanics to "simulate" being fooled, or simply being mistaken but you want to be able to ignore the mechanics. This is simple. Quit playing D&D and go find another game without dice. I will point out that a...

I think you are posting on the wrong piece of the thread. The bit from me was expressing almost exactly what you just said. Being part of a team means adjusting to the teams expectations was the point, your team mates having some influence or leverage on you isn't your character being...

um I said adusted your actions to be part of the team. Somehow that seems to have been translated as mind controlled zombie by your. one means you willingly join the group knowing the norms it expects if you want to remain part of it. The other has left the room and gone to Fallout where...

Somewhere I have a historical timeline that goes from TNMT and events flow through to shadowrun, then to the after the bomb and into the Renaissance of civilization only to be collapsed by a war with aliens leading to Gamma World. I did it in college long ago.

I always view them as those poor souls stuck between worlds. One parent and all your family on that side probably have so much time left and real life experiences that you'll never catch up. The other side you get to be that guy in the human world and watch everyone die before you do and be...

Except things like Commanders strike in spite of the wording simply give you an extra attack. You can choose to not use it. You aren't even required to attack what the Leader tells you to attack. That's not taking your choices or controlling your actions, it's giving you more choices that you...

Actually the 1e rule book is clear that all the rules presented are for the DM to use or not use as they see fit. Not many contradictions, just several different ways to do things. Even simple things like XP in 1st ed have multiple options. The only blaring contradiction 1e I can think of...

Yeah I have to agree. The very concept of a Team Leader means sat some point the team agreed to that. Just the act of joining a group is indicative of adjusting your actions to fit in. If you don't want anyone affecting your decisions there is only one clear path. Do everything alone.
