Hey, they could be worse. I mean, they let you keep far more wealth then the average person manages too. They're also kinder then, say, Conan's equivalent rules, which if memory serves, pretty much tell the GM to strip the PCs of all wealth via fiat between adventures.

Whjatever is wrong with the classic 'Great Old Ones'? It's what Paizo, last I looked, used for entities from beyond time and space.

Pathfinder's economy is just as disfunctional and PC centered as Fantasy Craft's. FC is just way more upfront about it.

Which is a claim I have never, ever understood. I find poisons in FC far more flexible then Pathfinder. Without house-ruling anything I can get a range of DCs, incubation times, and effects. Heck, this is pretty much true of any comparison. Pathfinder classes feel like straight jackets loaded...

And yet I've almost killed several PCs (which is the outcome I wanted) with poisons and had no problems with fitting repeating firearms into the game.

Frankly, I didn't find SC2.0 that complex and many of the simplifications in FC are more not needing lots and lots of special cases to support Organized play. The two major actual simplifications to rules is limiting result caps to only untrained skills (which is pretty much the only place where...

In my recent games, if someone wants or needs to start a new PC, they come in at the current party XP, with standard starting coin and reputation (100 x Career Level silver and 10 x Career Level Rep). Of course there's also a Cheating Death mechanic which also makes the 'need' part less likely.

Just as a point of order, technically if your campaign world is set on a planet (the spherical kind, anyway) all dungeons are non-euclidean. Euclidean geometry on the surface of a (spherical) planet is just an local approximation of spherical geometry. Sorry, carry on.

Make all their rolls using non-euclidean dice.

Yes, I was referring to Kojirō Sasaki's sword.

The thing is though, at least for me, I can't understand why you think they're silly names. Oh, and I spend far more time GMing then playing. Well, not the puns. They're exceptionally silly.

A sword named Clothes Drying Rod.

That's historically accurate for large chunks of history though. Taverns, public houses, etc all were the centers of communication, trade, and socialization.

As I've said before, I think one of the most important bits of GMing advice I eaver read was Paranoia's "The player's aren't your adversary... they're your entertainment." I thoroughly believe the reverse is true though. Players, entertain the GM before he has do it himself. A bored GM is a...

'The Third' makes it redundant. Mc and Mac mean something like the son of the son of. So yeah, add a Mac'O'Snodgrass in there for good measure. And a Joyce.

, the Third.

And even then there are pleny of examples. Take the Solothii warhorses in Weber's War God series. They all have impressive names like Furious Thundercloud or Light if War. And most of them wind up with nicknames like Boots or Star or whatever. Oryan77 Nah, I don't think you're a bad GM or...

I'll second Fantasy Craft. The Assassin clas is heavily inspired by the games and the class structure gives you lots of room to build all sorts of operatives with all sorts of specialities.

Yeah... that's going too far. Puns are right out.

Old English mersc-mealwe. Mersc being marsh and mealwe being mallow. It's a drift in spelling and pronunciation. I's not a modern word. The actual horse was named (in all most certainty) after the city. His one (grand?)sire being named Boston. Dapple is the translated name of one of the horses...
