Easy question. I've never brought a mini, although I had received a few of them as gifts. None from the current WotC line though.

Simplicity! Stat blocks were very short; I could create an NPC in less than 2 minutes; I could create a high level NPC in less than 2 minutes; Adventures and settings were less focused in the rules (crunch); and Players were less focused in rules. Additionally: Greyhawk was really the...

And that is very exciting. WHFRP was superior than his direct competitor, AD&D 1st edition, in many ways. I hope that Green Ronin will improve WHFRP to be a worthy competitor to D&D 3.5.

Traveller is a great game and it is available in several systems. The original system was developed in three different editions: Traveller (aka, Classic Traveller), MegaTraveller, and Marc Miller's Traveller. All of them skill based (no classes) and with the original Life Path character...

Shining South is the best of the pack and I almost liked Frostburn. I disliked all others.

Me too, I found it very nostalgic. :cool:

Personally, I avoid d20 games other than D&D or its look alike, such as Conan, because I liked to experiment game systems. Furthermore, I had an awful experience playing firearms with d20 rules. I don't think it captures the feeling as well as most of other games. As such, I keep d20 exclusively...

Actually I think I've played more non-d20 games than anything else. First of all, I am not very found of any d20, except D&D. Second, I love to try different rules. I believe that D&D is the one game I played most, but it was not the majority of my gaming time. GURPS and DC Heroes certainly came...

It appears that I will very pleased with your version of my favorite class. :cool:

You're welcome. Perhaps I'm too lazy to find exactly how to join the playtest. Would you care to give some instructions? As part of my job, I spend a reasonable amount of the time in the wilds. Perhaps because of this, the ranger is my favorite class. The core concept of the ranger class is...

Wouldn't be easier to use the old Rolemaster system, where races assign modifiers to the bonus, instead of to the abilities? As such, if I assign a 13 to dexterity and choose an elf, I would have an ability modifier of +1 plus another +1 of being an elf, for a total of +2. Not the traditional...

I played once a game that, in the Grand Finale, the party faced impossible odds. One of the characters was a cleric of Odin. He sacrificed one of his eyes to gain some advantage in the final battle -- very cool moment :cool: . He, and most of the party, died in the final adventure. The two...

If it is anything close to a D&D Rules Cyclopedia with the updated SRD rules, I'll probably like it. :D

I would say that the major systems today are: d20 Storyteller Palladium GURPS HERO BRP Unisystem Tri-Stat All those are still selling good (including BRP, which is the engine behind Call of Cthulhu), and were applied to several different settings. The Minor League would include: Silhouette...

Good idea, and it is coming out in October, just in time to my birthday. :]

So it is 320 pages as the normal edition. Unless they are actually insering notes in the sides, it seems that this will really be the old PHB in a fancy paper.

I would buy such book, but I have little hope that WotC will ever release it. I guess that the upcomming edition will be the same old PHB with a brand new cover. I don't like the current cover, but I see little reason to expend extra cash in a special edition. As someone else already pointed...

No game will ever please everyone. Sometimes it's necessary to make compromisses, both the designer and the individual players, like ourself. I will not comment yours C2-3 rants, as I agree with you. Unfortunely, the designers had different opinions. Concerning C1, I think you're right. The...

A few suggestions: 1) Include some sort of energy source. Geothermic will do it. As many have pointed before, there is no way you can have an ecosystem without an energy source. Then you can create some fantastic lifeforms that can use this energy and be the base of the food web. Additionally...

I have considered to run a game using a limited spell list. Basically, I would copy the list found in the old D&D Rules Cyclopedia, perhaps with some editing. It is a pretty good list, covering nearly all that is necessary to a full campaign.
