Very nice idea indeed. I'll watch this and see how it goes, not really sure if I'd have anything useful to add, but never know.

While I still play it, I think Marvel SAGA is the most missed out-of-print rpg for me. DC Heroes (2nd Edition boxed set) too.

I call false, a campaign CAN be all about players competing/conflicting but that's not something I've seen much outside of oWoD chronicles and the odd 'evil' campaign in more traditional ones. I always wanted to run A Game of Thrones precisely to see how much infighting it would breed. Never...

I can't vote... I don't care for 4th, preferring BECMI/RC. But I'll be playing 4th Ed. anyway and I DO prefer it to 3rd overall.

No, we don't.

Not a 4th Ed. hater... Just not as impressed as some/most/whatever. 4th Ed. does use many of the archetype names from CoH/CoV, albeit with different functions to that game. The fact that 'class' which has always dictated function now also needs an archetype makes it feel MMO-like to me (or...

KotSF utterly kobolded me out... They should not have been the first foes of the game.

While I dwell on the Euro servers, I have played CoH since beta (on and off, with breaks to play other MMO's) and keep coming back to it... I've got to say that since the original creators left to go work on Marvel/Champions the game has improved immensely, and I know NCsoft are planning a new...

Having seen 4th Ed. and deciding it is definitely not my kind of game, I'm now happy to be able to turn my attention to Labyrinth Lord without reservation or hesitation.

I've played KotSF twice now and tried a few different characters. Nah, not for me. Not at all. I'll probably wind up playing it since others in my group are keen, but I won't be running it or putting any great amount of work into anything for it like I tend to in our group.

Top marks, I like it a lot.

You can hardly call wandering monsters on PCs in the town tavern (well, not normally) and it'd just start another huge fight encounter if you did. KotSF doesn't cover wandering monsters either does it? Dunno... Haven't DM'd it. Sleep is sleep. It ought to send foes to sleep. For a per day...

No idea about the DM's scaling of the encounters to be honest. Seemed okay generally, barring a certain goblin... I maintain, magic missile ought to be magic missile... Auto-hitting and all! not grognardy or anything, just preference. Plus I don't have a problem with magic-users relying on...

Meh, may as well just have a crossbow then. 'Magic Missile' isn't exactly a flavourful alternative to me. Burning Hands is a one off each fight (damn good one mind you!) and scorching burst isn't reliable enough to protect the wizard all the time. We only had four of five characters in play...

Thank you Andor, that's pretty much the issue I have (with D&D 4 as well as some other systems). I don't go for rules-light games, I like a good foundation of what works and how, but I find that 3.5 and 4 just try to do too much of it. And somewhere along the way it all becomes about the game...
