    Are Classes now a must in an RPG?

    I have heard of most rpgs as mentioned above mainly due to lurking these boards amongst others since probably early 2006 (not that impressive by most standards but at 22 i deserve some slack) but sadly for a lot of reasons, mainly i think my huge attachment to greyhawk in particular, have always...

    Are Classes now a must in an RPG?

    A Talent is meant to range from say being an accomplished potter, all the way to arcane spell casting or divine healing. Their just meant to provide a scale that in theory can be assigned to anything to ensure that, in what is after all still a game, there is a sense of "character balance" but...

    Are Classes now a must in an RPG?

    I Will indeed, that plus signing up for a creative writing class to help with some of my comprehension issues have been my first steps since becoming remotley serious about the idea. Very unfamilar with GURPS currently, i fear my RPGing carear apart from traveller and some Call of Cuthulu is...

    Are Classes now a must in an RPG?

    Unless i'm mistaken your misunderstanding what i mean by classes. For example i am quite certain that Traveller worked more like Path of exile (a computer game) or the sykrim example below as where in every charecter would have a base starting point that they could then progress down set varying...

    Are Classes now a must in an RPG?

    You are right that my poor English Comprehension is indeed prventing me from making the point i hope to make. The main 3 points im trying to make are as follows (i feel if i bullet point them it might help clarify, if i write another essay trying to explain ill probably end up confusing the...

    How woulda Chromatic Dragon react to the theft of its eggs?

    I really like where your going with this and yes it would appear I was greatly under appreciating the size of warterdeep, even though i have read allot about it. I find and therefore have played very little of it, forgotten realms has a pretty awful tendency to have far too many high level...

    How woulda Chromatic Dragon react to the theft of its eggs?

    I think your trying to be to logical about this and i refer you to the example given by umbram further up in this thread about ring/frogs but ill go a little further. Say you lived in a world dominated by midgets, so say our world but you and a select group of about 100 are still 6-7ft and can...

    Help! I Have An Indecisive Player!

    I'm glad Umbram seems to be the one you have listened to here, and I'm pretty disappointed to see peoples attitudes towards labelling people "problem gamers" its becoming all too common on EN World. She is simply doing what comes natural to her, in one breath its claimed your issue is that shes...

    D&D 5E Simulation vs Game - Where should D&D 5e aim?

    I didn't stop to read all 40 pages of the thread so apologies if I'm going over points previously made but surely the answer to this is quite obvious, now in 2014, unfortunately they have to focus on a game. The core rule books players handbook / monster manual should be pretty much identical to...

    Pre-done Random Encounter Generating Products

    All the tables I have built so far have pulled from does and just general reading on the different areas. Ive only managed Yeomary, Keoland and Stirus so far as i'm currently preparing a group to run through the GDQ and have really enjoyed the results of having basic encounters and tables ahead...

    Hi guys, I am currently going through the work of creating random encounter tables, rough npcs and very non-detailed travel guides for all the major ares of greyhawk but got to wandering do I need to bother? Does anyone know a really good product that already does what i'm looking for? Or...
