Folks: I starting toying around with the idea to retool/HomebrewGURPS to use Armor Class oppose to armor reducing damage. In addition, Dodgenever really sat well with me, so I have contemplated to ditch that as well.The idea goal is to have something similar to AD&D and AD&D 2E but use3d6 to get...

I see what you mean... I am coming from AD&D, and just starting AFF, so it is taking a while to understand the modifiers. Thanks.

You said it - Save vs DIE is too high of a price to pay; however, I could see this work if this was a specially crafted monster found at the end of an epic arc adventure, but for your normal module monsters... yes...'save vs die' is too high of a price.

When I get my group orginized ++laugh++, I will take you up on that offer. thanks.

What are some good bonuses and penalties to apply to the dice for events? For example: AD&D 2nd ed runes on a (+/-2, +/-4, +/-6, ~ +/-10). However, since the dice mechanics in AFF is 2d6+skill+special skill, I am not sure what a good difficulty or benefit modify should be. Thanks.

Too deadly and too slow for onset. I was thinking about the poisons that PC can use would deal damage along the lines as weapons. For example: Poison AA might provide a 1d6 pt of extra damage, and poison AB might be 1d6+1. Following this model, there might be a type of poison that would deal...

I have a player that wants to use the Thief Assassin Kit found in the Complete Thief’s Handbook. In addition, they want to use poison; however, the poisons list in the GM Handbook seem a little over kill at times, or take too long to influence combat rounds. Due to the latter, and still...

I handle my Thieves the same way. In your example: to climb a tree – I do not have my players roll a skill check, only if I believe it requires a task that is beyond normal. However, I might be a little free with my MS/HS skills for Backstab. I usually give them bonuses to these skills when...

Thanks everyone!!! I guess I am playing too much Classic Traveller these days, and it reminded me at one time seeing something similar to AD&D 1e.

Thanks so much - I understand now...much appreciated.

Thief Abilities – Static Progression or Player Distributed Progression I wanted to hear what others think or have noticed in their gaming history when it comes to the Thief Abilities - 1st Edition Static progression or 2nd Player Distributed Progression. I am a little torn – I like the...

I might have called what I was thinking of by the wrong name, since I only saw it once, and I thought it was the THAC0 progression. I just happened to stop off at a used-books store on the way home, and found AD&D Oriental Adventures 1st Ed. The attached image is a snippet of what I was talking...

Technomancer :: Thanks... I was thinking about using the AFF mechanics for a 'quick and dirty' system, so my group can focus on role playing - oppose to number chrunching. In addition, we are getting a little bored with the D20 dice rolls of AD&D 2nd edition. Looking over the damage matrix for...

I only saw a copy of AD&D 1st edition at one time; however, I do not own a copy. But what stood out to me, was the Combat/To Hit Matrix. How was this matrix developed or created? Was there a pattern or were the bonuses/penalties randomly generated? In addition, if I remember correctly –...

Folks I just received a copy of Advanced Fighting Fantasy as a gift, and impressed how the system is easy and fast. Due to that latter, is there a version or module that uses the rules for a SciFi setting or has anyone retooled the mechanics to work in a future/scifi setting? Thanks. JJ

I just found Star Wars D6, and glancing through the 2ndEdition Revised book; however, I am a little lost. I am coming from AD&D 2ndand GURPS 3rd, so the dice pool is a new concept to me; however, Iam having a hard time visualizing my character due to the STAT ranges. Inoticed some creatures...

This Last Gasp is a neat idea, and will have to take a look at it, so thanks for mentioning it. I forgot that GURPS uses one-second actions - I suspect the culprit was the fact that my group has been playing a great deal of Car Wars and MechWarrior recently, and we thought it would be cool to...

These rules seem pretty interesting and thank you for brining them to my attention; however, we are thinking more along the lines of Action Points, which are used for action during turns. For example - a character would get a base number of Action Points, which is based on his speed. Each action...

Folks: The other night, a group of friends and I were toying with the idea of introducing an Action Point system into GURPS. The idea is to make it play more as a tactical SIM, which would play like Fallout 1 and/or Fallout 2; however, we are not sure where to start. Has anyone done something...
