Castles & Crusades got rid of feats and skills and works pretty good.

No, I generally miss and or avoid playtesting. Please to be filling others like myself in?

For that matter, the same in Eberron, though it did so by usually adding X + Y = Z to do it. Karrnath is Tzarist Russia with Undead, Breland is Great Britannia Light, Aundair is smelly pastoral french or city based smelly royal French (no offense to the actual non-smelly modern French, as your...

Except Paizo did just that very thing and clearly Pathfinder is doing well enough. I'd consider it, under these conditions - 1) Softcover 2) Black and White (yet looking like a finished prodcut preview, so we can see formatting being considered) 3) No more than $20, and $10 would be ideal...

If I'm not going to just make my own setting for a fantasy RPG (regalrdless of rules sets) I am most fond of Eberron. I've run it under v3.5, 4e, and have converted it to Savage Worlds. If they want to unify the player base, however, they need a setting that is 'Kitchen Sink' or 'Everything to...

It is a very good system. About the only kind of genre it doesn't do well is the 'Mecha genre, and it might do that if I took the time to think about it. Personally, the powers system for it is how I think the D&D 5e system should look like. Why have 10+ variants of 'magic bolt' when you can...

I was not being rude. I fear for the community if the phrase, "Sorry to burst your bubble." is considered being rude. Perhaps the West Coast is the most friendly work environment in the world, but I have had jobs where if they shot down the idea with JUST that phrase, it was a good day. Trust...

I was not being rude. What I was is surprised that in response to a review that is given (on a good product, I make no bones about that) that mentions the waste of packing material, and a thread that gets multiple comments on that, that Erik comes here and acts surprised. Unless they never...

Not to burst your bubble here, but have you looked at the company you partnered with for these minis? They do good sculpts, but their packaging strategy has been pretty much that since day one. No offense, but how could you not know that WizKids loves to use oil and murder trees? Okay, maybe not...

Wonder how much less the packaging would have been (but the cost would have gone up) to have non-random clear blister-and-card traditional packaging?

Damnit... there is no way I can raise that kind of spare cash with a Jeep repair and paying for the TERP-10 certification class in between now and the release... crap.

Emphasis mine. In a way, they have started this already. Essentials works with 4e, right out of the box, no funny math required. A person playing an Essentials Fighter does not have to take as many options (powers) as the guy playing the PHB1 Fighter. So, it is possible. Is it possible on...

See, when they were using Saga Star Wars as a testbed for 4e mechanics, I was really hoping that they would handle multiple attacks and damage per level the way it was handled there. I liked the fact that you got 1/2 level added to damage. It made sense for that setting and made higher level...

As stated, I agree. I'm tired of 2-3 books to play one game. I started D&D with the Red Box (the real one, not that abortion of a Essentials introduction) and was sooo happy when they finally combined them all into the D&D Rules Cyclopedia. A part of my youth died when some jerk stole that...

Thank you. We need humor around this time.

What I consider Core Remember, I started 23 years ago with the original Red Box -- Races Human Dwarf Elf Halfling Classes Fighter Cleric Rogue Wizard Anything else is really extra.

Huh whaaat? It's a whole new edition and there are rules issues and class issues and other far more important things, and THIS is what ends with five pages of replies? Really?

Negative. I just don't think a modular, please everyone style game is possible. At least not on the scale that Wizards/Hasbro is hoping for. The so called 'universal' systems are popular, but not near to the scale that D&D has been over the course of it's life. People know D&D, even those that...

I hate being right...

Well, I can't say what I really feel without violating the EN World ToS, and I for the most part get along with the mods here, so I won't. I'll just leave this here and note that is not safe for work or school. As a side note... I hate being right...
