To be honest I have always preferred games with ZERO classes and that players build what they want.

In Basic role playing system a100% means you will suceded most of the time( a die roll of 96-100 always means you fail) But there are Mods you add in. For example you have Read write english at 100% means you can read al the books in the local library, But there might be-15 to understand some...

I do know that. In most systems based on Basic role playing , you could have a skill over a hundred. But after you added in all the modifiers, you seldom had a %100 chance to hit, and even if you did the other side could still dodge or parry.

As a old Runequest player, I do think there nothing wrong with using percentiles. And for those who never played any of the Runequest/Basic Role player games, it often possible for some one to have a sword skill of 81%, a spell at 74% etc, as you increase skills at a 1d6 rate. Runequst and the...

Well I am one of those middle age guys who still plays. But I dont have no beard and I was in th emilitary(Medic). I work out at least 30 minutes each day.and while my beautiful wife does not play, I have taught my two daughters to play.. My boy prefers Roblox and minecraft but he still young...

mega miniatures used to have a whole line of animals minis, including dogs and cats.. But as of June 1 they are closing their door so better hurry. http://freeboardgamesnow.com/animals.aspx?page=2 I do have the Farm animals set , which at $10 I feel is a good buy.

Well , its been many years since I was in High School (Im 54 now) but I was the biggest geek in School then. And yes life was tough back then and I could not get a Date and was laughed at alot. But today I well respected at work , have what I think is a beautiful wife of 22 years and...

At times it the DM duty to cheat. If the players are playing their hearts out and everything going well Do I let some cannon fodder bad guy knock off a player just because I rolled that 1 in in 1000 crit? Or if you suddenly find the encounter is going bad or too easy to stay the course?

Well, even if they prepare that does not mean they will know everything.. for example they might know the the leeader of some Orc brigands is a tough fighter and very brutal and sadistic, but the fact that he a vampire might not be known. Or the Duke new young wife is conniving immoral and evil...

If the Caster knows what to expect he is superior. But it something unexpected comes up the fighter is often better able to handle it.. For example a rogue comeing out of the shadows , striking a fighter and the fighter is going to be upset and then trash the rogue. A Wizard caught off guard is...

We have a new plot line in our present games that deal with bad guy Racism. Seems there a new Orc Warlord in place and his first order of business is purify the Orc race and he is out to kill all the Grey orcs( he and a majority of the Orcs are green Orcs , ) and Half Orcs. So when Our paladin...

For me it depends one the game and how its played. For example I was playing in a pulp era game set in the 30's so we had things like the Nazi running around as bad guys. And how can you have Nazi in either a pulp or Super Hero game and not have them be racist. And as for religious tolerance ...

What I am now looking for is mounted and dismounted versions of fantasy figures. Finding mounted figure for some classes is hard

Thanks for the tip. I think Warlord game has what Im looking for. Too bad you have to buy a whole box but I think we can use the rest as Guardsman and mercs for our group and maybe even convert a Officer with his plumed hat into a fashionable wizard.

I am looking for some late Medieval/Renaissance figures armed with Arquebus and other early fire arms. so far all I seen are pirartes and those just dont work for what Im looking for.
