was quite interested, but it still has lots of 'until next turn' type of stuff so probably still lots fiddly +1s and such to think about i will give it a good read if someone else buys it and i change my mind

that is quite wrong. there are loads of option for combat in SW. You can narrate what you like and make it a smarts / agility trick, or whatever you can come up with. Its all about leaping from chandeliers, throwing whiskey in your opponents eyes, slamming barrel over them etc. If you just sit...

possibley we had bought lots of 3.5, but where getting a little tired with it when 4 came along i think we maybe bought 5 of each book between the ten of us, but very few splat books. we played some home written stuff, LFR and a few of the bog mods. 2 became subscibers. After 6 months we all...

we've played loads savage worlds.....roughly 50% of my gaming in the last 3 years since i discovered it. i dont think we have ever had a discussion about the % of the dice / target numbers sounds like a way to instantly kill any FFF same as bennies. i think people where cautious with them at...

dont scare her with the house is wrecked story!! I go with: You are at work. Its kinda quiet. The lights suddenly flicker and the emergency generator kicks in The phone lines are dead out your window the citys lights are failing you see 3 or 4 other equally confused colleagues what do you do...

erm what you doing then, cos the PP campaign is based on the aftermath of the SK stories?

SK can be a little combat heavy, if you follow the plot point campaign in the book we have completed europe and are in the middle of the africa quests it can feel a little 'monster' of the week but the fights are pretty challenging and you need fair tactics, and tricks to beat some of the beasties

OP is spot on it is my over-riding issue. A game with the wrong pace is the big-fun-killer

it does seems many in the UK like to play 'tormented' heroes whereas it is percieved those in the US like 'shining' heroes I blame it on the weather personally i much rather play 'proper' heroic heroes....so 'winning' while sticking to my principles rather than 'failing'' while struggling to...

my group are currently playing the Kingmaker adventure path. even not being LG they have sought to form alliances wherever. So have had non combat dealing with kobolds, mites, thawn giants, and others If its the norm to slaughter the 5 goblins cos thats what happens, then the goblins should...

Why? Lawful Good can take life, id say its why, how , when, where, what you take life that is important in decidng whether its Evil or not.

cos the stake is low, who wins a game of cards, i dont this is an important enough issue Almost any of the 9 alignments could cheat at cards, or tweak the rules, or read an interpretation of the rules and not be in an alignment violation, and certainly not be seen to do anything evil IMO, as...

actually thats more the difference betwene law and chaos

I always thought evil was based on 'how do you value the life of other sentients'... ..so humans in this world, one of many races in the fantasy world so the sum of things like slavery, how you treat non-coms / civilians, prisoners, your own sick, eldery and infirm other races other sexes...

Have them, completely unaware, or maybe tricked by a demon, do something to thrawt a LE plan....may the LE have been planning a move for a while, and the nutters come and rampage all over it. Perhaps they get a visit from a sole LE agent, demanding recompense, welll beyond what they can afford...

aside from it doesnt use a d20? daring Tales is spot on, and lots of fun have played the first 5 modules i think

I like dungeons, but the game system would have to be one where you could do a 12-14 room dungeon in one session: As long as it was something like 3-4 probably unavoidable fights 1-2 trick/trap/wierd/puzzle rooms 2-3 probably avoidable fights/social encounters 1-3 empty rooms (ransacked...

I have a home made sci SW i changed from a d20 game i dont think you need to make the armor bonus outrageously high, otherwise the maths becomes hard work and you loose some of the F,F,F I think armour in the 4 to 8 range should be plenty i have some high end blaster rifles that do 3d8 damage...

an over-arching mechanic, that covers everything ditch the d20 to avoid clash/comparison make it a simple target Number mechanic like Savage Worlds Try to use d6's only, but not massed dice pools 12 pages rules/crunch 12 pages background/fluff assume, unless widely different, folk know what...

hmmm 3 sets dungeon, wilderness and city AND a mix set??
