Happy holidays!

I played Runebound (1st ed) 4 or 5 times and this was my impression as well. It wasn't a bad game, but there is nothing to do unless it is your turn.

Thanks for everyone's posts in this thread. Like the OP, I was unsure whether this RPG was for me, and the $60 pricetag deterred me from looking to much into it. Even though I am quite satisfied with D&D at the moment, Anima is definitely beginning to grab my interest.

The OP and I seem to have very different perspectives on the game (no offense, of course, all opinions are equally valid), but I answered the questions to the best of my ability with the options given. Note that I started playing D&D with 3rd edition and have played 3.5 and 4e, but I have no...

The protagonist is a 16 year-old human swordmage, accompanied by his or her 80-something sensei, a human wizard. The protagonist's best friends are an amnesiac warforged warlord and a sarcastic halfling rogue. The group is rounded out by a mysterious eladrin star warlock. For the second...

Sorry, I preferred the first. B-)

I own a six-year-old desktop running Windows and a one-year-old laptop running Mac OS X. As I use the latter more, I voted Mac.

I pronounce it like the word "tie" followed by the word "fling." I don't particularly care whether it's the "official" pronunciation.

At the library on my MacBook, or, depending on your perspective, at the Internet on MapTool. When I did play face-to-face games regularly, in my basement on a large dry erase board.

I don't want to think about xmas until about two weeks before. It bothers me a little that the holiday season now lasts for nearly 1/6 of the year.

Hmm. I've never played another system with D&D's emphasis on gear and economics, so no. (I usually don't deal much with gear and economics even in my D&D!)

I voted that I prefer spellcasters, but that's only half true. I enjoy playing gishes. My favorite 3e/3.5 class was the Psychic Warrior, and my favorite 3e/3.5 character was a Bard/Fighter. I prefer 4e.

It came up briefly with a changeling PC, but the player had to leave our game before the thing was resolved.

If a tweaked game had been released, I would have bought it, played it, and loved it. There wasn't a need for a new edition. ...but that doesn't change the fact that I love my new edition. I didn't realize how tired I was of dealing with 3.5s flaws until I played a D&D without them. It's...

I'll be watching this thread! A social class is somewhere on my own list of projects; if I get around to it anytime soon, I'll be sure to poke back in here.

Count me among the 95% GMs. I think it's been over a year since I've been a player and even longer since I've played in a non-PBP.

Tri-Stat dX was my second love, and, as far as genre- and setting-neutral game systems go, it's still high on my list.

If you show up for the entire session, you gain 4 experience. If you show up late or leave early (and let me know of this in advance), you gain 3 experience. If you can't make it to the session (and let me know of this in advance), you still gain 2 experience. Between any two sessions, 10...

In 3e, bad; in 3.5, good. Best thing that ever happened. Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I did like it. The only fighter I ever played was a multiclassed fighter/bard, and she is probably my favorite 3e/3.5 PC. The class itself is pretty bland, but I wouldn't say it "sux." Below...

Minions exist to be made a mockery of. :P
