It all sounds like far too much maths to me :) I like my games fast and simple. Meesa lazy GM, self confessed. That said, there's a lot of possibilities in the "using different dice" as a way of gauging difficultly. Doesn't Savage Worlds do this?

There's a few in Mythic Races: Aaleear (Tiny, LA +2) are like fey crossed with halflings. 2 foot tall, loved by elves, etc. I've used 'em in play and they're a fun race. Aaleear Druids are especially cool. Faeries (Seelie/Unseelie: Tiny, LA +3) are probably a bit too high on the LA stakes for...

Great work! Yesterday I was thinking about using WFRPG for our Ptolus campaign. After reading through what you've done so far, I'm more than tempted! :)

Thanks for the kind words, Jawar. Glad you like it! When it comes to spells like Power Word Kill I find that a better solution is for the GM to either keep them out of the hands of players, or (as I've done once) make "knowing their truename" a requirement for casting. That led to a huge...

Lawful. OD&D alignments rule! :D

Awwww heck. It's just a throwaway. Call it whatever you want :)

WSmith, I like it :) Yep, I chose 20 for no good reason other than that it felt right. Add salt to taste. If it's too high (or low), go right ahead and edit the page. I won't shoot you. Promise! Armour soaks damage sounds like a good idea. For weapons and any other modifiers, I suggest using...

I've started a page for MicroliteNot20. If anyone wants to contribute, revise or add to, please feel free to hit "Edit this page" at the bottom :) I've set the baseline that an average human commoner would have STR, DEX, MIND and CHA of 2 each, and all skills at 1. This gives them a 3d6 roll...

Gotta love the irony of not being able to talk about a book that doesnt exist in a forum all about elves, demons and orcs :)

That's a great summary, thanks Sabathius! It's good to see Microlite20 being played fast and loose, just as nature intended. Good work. Just one comment from me: Remember that even with multiple attacks, they only get their Sub added as damage to the first (and only first) attack each round -...

So we can't talk about 1st vs. 3rd, no one talks about 2nd, we can't talk about 4th and we all agree 3.5 needs work............ :D So, what can we talk about again?

That's exactly why I like the system just as it is. But hey, it's an alternative if people think spell-casters are too weak; for Convention play, it would probably work. Toss the Fighter a magic sword to croon over and he'll be happy as well. I find Con games tend to bring out the powergamer in...

Great feedback, thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. A lack of healing would be a big problem, I agree. If the players take that route, I toss a couple of healing potions into their pack. Nothing makes them wish they had a Cleric quicker than a dwindling supply of potions :) I've...

Microlite20 at a Con!!! Excellent!!! Kensanata, how was it received? Thoughts? Opinions? You got me drooling now, I want to know everything...........

IMC, we just say each Level Adjustment costs a feat, and doesn't affect level at all. So a LA+1 race doesn't get a free feat at first level, but is still 1st level. LA+2 races don't get the free feat at 3rd, etc. That way, a LA+1 Fighter-1 is still a Fighter-1 in every way, shape and form. His...

Yep. I'd be tempted to throw d20 compliance completely out of the window if it weren't for all those lovely resources we have at hand. D&D is the Microsoft Windows of the role-playing world (though the OGL does give it a healthy does of Linuxness too). It's good enough to use, easy to skirt...

Hospitals indeed do suck, hope all is better now. At least they're better than the alternative, I guess! Thanks for the addition, much appreciated. I'm still ploughing through the Big Shiny Macropedia pdf and aim to have a *nearly* finished article by Wednesday or Thursday. Or Friday, maybe...

Maybe we should have three stats, classes and skills: - STR, DEX, MIND - Phys, Sub, Comm - Fighter, Rogue, Spellcaster 3,3,3. Half the number of the beast :) I suspect it would also have three players too..........

Symmetry bad! Don't get hooked up on the whole 4, 4, 4 thing. Please! Thanx :) My Microlite20-time is sliding away this week as real-world deadlines whistle by. More from me at the weekend; meanwhile, keep chatting among yourselves!

Excellent stuff! Snarfed and added to http://wiki.greywulf.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/Macropedia/Critters. Thanks, Kensanata :)
