    is it me? FFG Star Wars

    I agree with the notion that if players and the GM want to interpret each and every single dice roll for all the Advantage and Threat stuff than it could slow the game down but I don't feel that it has to be done with every die roll. Sometimes all we need to know is if something is successful or...

    is it me? FFG Star Wars

    IMNSHO this is the best officially published version of Star Wars ever. FFG really nailed it here and the dice, while different, add a lot to the game because they are different. And they are easy to understand. Sure it looks and appears to be kinda complicated, but after you roll a few skill...

    D&D 5E (2014) What's one thing that pleasantly surprised you, and one thing that disappointed you about the PHB?

    Pleasant Surprise: They made a Bard I can actually like and want to play. Unfortunate Disappointment: There is only one Sorcerer Bloodlines I like and I say we need more. :)

    So You're Just Not "Feeling It" for 5e - What ARE you excited about?

    Just got Age of Rebellion... great addition to the Star Wars rpg universe. :) The next new game on my radar is The Strange. I think this one has a game setting that's more intriguing than Numenera's world.

    D&D 5E (2014) Unexpected but (mostly) awesome new rules in Basic

    Yes this is probably the most exciting part of this new edition so far is that it not only acknowledges gender but it does it in a way that's respectful and accepting and as a transgender girl I really like it. :) It shows that WotC has come a long way and is taking this new edition in a nice...

    D&D 5E (2014) Official D&D Basic Discussion Thread

    omg I would have totally missed that had you not mentioned it. :D That's so funny. That disclaimer makes this edition an automatic win for me now. :)

    So You're Just Not "Feeling It" for 5e - What ARE you excited about?

    Count me as somebody who'd much rather play Hero System than Savage Worlds despite all the appearance of advantages that Savage Worlds seems to have over Hero System. ;) :angel: As for what differentiates Hero from Gurps... on the surface both seem very similar and both are point based...

    So You're Just Not "Feeling It" for 5e - What ARE you excited about?

    While I am interested in 5E there are indeed other games I am really interested in... To top the list ~ Star Wars: Age of Rebellion from FFG. the new Edge of the Empire sourcebook coming out. Then the rest in no particular order ~ Firefly RPG/Heroic Roleplaying (Cortex Plus stuff) Legend of...

    WotC is going to have server problems come July the 3rd when Basic D&D is released. Everybody and anybody who role plays is going to be downloading this game just to check it out.

    D&D 5E (2014) So, Forgotten Realms...

    I sincerely hope that WotC will eventually do a few new settings for 5th edition. They haven't come out with a brand new setting since Eberron and every other setting they still use came out pre millennium, mainly AD&D 2e times. WotC needs fresh new stuff and while using the Realms is smart as...

    A new O.L.D. race?

    I really like this idea a lot. This would be very cool to see.

    N.E.W. Hit Point question

    I didn't see the part where it says either Roll or End x 3 for Health Points. Thanks for telling me that. :)

    N.E.W. Hit Point question

    I hope its alright to ask this question but of everything in this really awesome looking game... why do we roll for our starting Hit Points during character creation instead of just taking some kind of statistical average that can be modified? I'm just curious because I could see the possibility...

    Thoughts on countdowns

    I really like the idea of Countdowns in this game... to me it gives me the feeling that when a Countdown happens than things are going to me more suspenseful.

    Notes on O.L.D.

    omg I loved Elements of Magic... I always had hoped that it would have gotten adapted to fit into a core game line and 8 years later it's finally happening albeit in a way I had never expected. :)

    First Impressions & Feedback - N.E.W.

    Actually I was thinking of the new Atlantis: the Second Age that is just coming out but Traveller works also. :)

    First Impressions & Feedback - N.E.W.

    Oh, one other thing I left off my initial impressions... Starting Health seems a bit finicky in that there is no option to take the Average of the die roll. If you hypothetically had 4 people making characters and two people rolled a 3d6 for Health, one rolled a 4d6 and one rolled a 5d6 and one...
