You can question it all you want but since taste in games differ easier is not always better. Therefore the facts have no bearing on the arguments made. Addition is easier than subtraction. Scientifically proven (as per your statement and I've learned not to question you authority). However...

But "better" is also opinion. For some the math might just be what they like, making more difficult math into a better system. I'm sure there are guys out there who play and when one of them fires an arrow from a tower they use the pythagorean theorem to figure out if he gets a -2 or -4 to that...

True. I had actually forgotten that.

Wow. This discussion has really gone the extra mile. We're discussing opinions now? Let me rewind the tape to an earlier discussion where people really tried hard to shout me down with "facts". My opinion is that descending AC is neither better, nor worse, than ascending AC, only different (and...

A belated but much needed review to spotlight one of the cooles settings I've ever read in ttrpgs. It does take some getting used to if you're more of a traditional ttrpg guy but it's worth every bit of that effort spent if I do say so myself, and I do.

I'll take isometric, thank you very much.

Eclipse Phase takes place in our solar system.

One thing to consider in read aloud texts is that if I'm playing the game in Swedish and the text is in English it automatically creates dissonance in the game. When we were younger me and my friends used to call out specific words we heard after the GM read a text aloud. "I heard chest!" "I...

I want weird and crazy and over the top. I want new and innovative and cutting edge. I want to be wowed and amazed and surprised. At the same time I know I wont be able to place these games because they usually run on the presumption that everyone, players as well as GMs, have read both...

Why wouldn't that be solved by the GM knowing or asking for the PCs THAC0 so he could just reference the roll? I completely agree that the equation you described before was too complicated. I just tell my players the AC since it doesn't change anything at all. I figure their PCs manage to figure...

I have always thought you subtracted the AC from the THAC0 thus getting the goal number for the roll. The bonuses (usually not being that impressive) only need to be considered if you failed but got really close.

Wayne Reynolds remain one of the greats of the D&D art pantheon.

I played a lot of ttrpgs before trying D&D and when I finally got to it it was AD&D 2nd edition. We scratched our heads over the whole THAC0 thing thinking it one of the weirdest systems we'd ever played. Today I run OSE and find THAC0 to be a easy system to grok. Neither better nor worse than...

Good for her getting away from a bad situation. Being able to tell others of poor working conditions in a company without having to fear reprisals is a integral part of a democratic society so all in all I think it's good she came forward with this information. It also helps consumers make...

I just didn’t want the discussion becoming some “do not”, “do to” situation. You keep pointing fingers while excluding yourself from blame. You claimed that I ignored facts while ignoring the facts i provided as well. A part from this, our discussion was a severe derail of the OP which I never...

Please don’t assume my level of reaction. I just jumped a discussion with someone who refused to take my experience and knowledge seriously. But like I stated, it really doesn’t matter. These discussions have no bearing on real life.

Chill out man. Who cares. Nothing matters and everyone dies. I don’t have your stamina for this nonsense so I guess you win. Soak it in.

Does it? Most thermostats never broke down. The fact that some did doesn't prove anything. A lot of circuit boards fail as well, but not all of course. They are however more sensitive and when they break they cause more trouble than some ice build up. Yeah. This was actually never a comparison...

Well frost free refrigerators has been a thing since at least the 50s. If yours wasn't, perhaps it was older or perhaps it needed to change the thermostat. Changing the thermostat on an old fridge is easy and not very costly while if this where to happen to a new system you would most likely...

Sometimes I forget that things I know due to education, training and experience become not true when they reach the internet. Has anyone else noticed this?
