Thank you for the pages and insight.

Folks: It has been sometime since I posted last - I have been super busy, and had not had the chance to play with my group for over a year. However, I am back in the groove and getting my RPG on, yet I need to clear up some rules laid forth in the Compete Fighters Handbook. Yet my books and...

Now I see how it works. Your example and Ed_Laprade combined have really helped. I was looking at it all wrong - I was trying to assign a percentage to the target number; however, everything can be based off the default 8+ and skill levels/attribute modifier, which could be calculated as a...

Thanks so much for clearing that up - I was very unsure if I based the modifiers on the default roll of 8+ or factor other items into the mix.

Ok that makes sense, but when handing out target numbers for actions/skill checks do I account for the player’s ranks/levels or just base percentages off the default 8+? For example: 8+ is roughly 41% chance for success So if I add +2 penalty then it becomes 10+ (16%). But I am having a...

I played the heck out of AD&E 1E/2E, which used a flat %, which made it easy to say oh...a -2=10%; however, I noticed that is not the case with CT, yet I was hoping for some generic Target Number. Due to the latter, and what Sjmiller posted - it looks like multipules of 2s are used.

Folks: I just got a digital copy of Classic Traveller from RPG Drivethu, since i heard good things about the system. Being into retro systems and games I thought I would take a look at it, which I missed the first time around during the 80s. However, I have a question that the Traveller...

y = target x = multiplier for stat bonus value z = stat bonuz value Assume you use 2d10 a 50+/- change is 11+ I would remove saving throw, and do somwthing like (attribute/x = Z) Roll higher then target. So fi you have a dex of 15 (14/5=+2) so you have +2 bonus on DEX checks. A mild/hard DEX...

If you are using an action point (AP) system, you will want to be very careful on how you handle this mechanics. Once you start letting AP creep effect the number attacks - the character becomes unbalanced. If you are using an AP system based mechanics you might want to look at Fallout Pnp...

I cut my teeth on rpgs with AD&D 2E and unfortunately base everything fantasy on it since; however, I understand the limitations with the system. The system is OK; however, I prefer more Bell Curve dice rolls for a grittier game. In addition, the Brown Class Book add on were OK, but started to...

I will check that out...thanks.. Not much I can say, but I am a sucker for d6 mechanic games or bell curved games

I never played D&D only AD&D 1E and 2E; however, I know what you are saying. I will have to checkout the Classic Traveller, but I do have a copy of Mongoose Traveller, so I will review the material... thanks.

Folks: Has anyone converted AD&D 2E to use 2d10? I am trying to wrap my head around how this would be done. So far I have something like this ========================= dice........=%......<%......>% 2...........1.0.....1.0.....100.0 3...........2.0.....3.0.....99.0...

That is right...that brings back memories; however, I cannot remember. Was a target number assigned or was it modifiers on the fly?

I am not familiar with this system, I will check it out.

Does anyone have experience with Sword World 2.0? I noticed it is Japanese, but uses 2d6 Sword World RPG - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I guess it is how I am looking at Traveller. I dug up an older Mongoose book, and noticed the following. Target roll is 8+; however, the bonuses and penalties are applied at the dice roll, not at a target number that can be assigned for difficulty. For example: a simple hard task would be a...

Could GURPS be modified to play like the following example: 3d6 + Skill Rank...........DC+

Folks: I wanted to know if there has ever been a 2d6 roll higher then target number? I am envisioning something like D20, but with 2d6. Please don’t confuse this with alternative rules for d20; however, like I said – it would be very similar. I understand Traveller has something similar, but...

All of these are great ideas, and I want to thank everyone... Cheers!!! to everyone and happy gaming.
