This was one reason I created my own system. I wanted all the modern goodness - PLUS easy DM-ing. As I am pretty much a constant DM. Of course, it was only one reason (Wanting my gritty and "real" feeling in there and other such things were others). But yes, being able to fudge NPC stats on...

Surprisingly my first true tabletop RP experience was actually a fun one shot game of Paranoia... Though I did once make a ranger called "Commando" when I was very, very young. He totally had an 18 strength! :) Got into AD&D 2e in college. And was introduced to Shadowrun 1e. Then Heros...

In my experience of the gamers I know, it has really been more of a personality and type of game they want - not where they started. I started in college with AD&D 2e. I like 3e as it fit the flavor I wanted at the time, though I have moved on since then. 4e is a game I will play sometimes...

And the love fest begins... BECMI/1e/etc - Much love for introducing the world to D&D - Though I have never played with you myself. AD&D - For introducing ME to D&D back in college 3e - For being almost exactly the feel I was looking for in D&D at the time 4e - For having a couple good ideas...

66. Guys always seem to wish they could get more girls to join in the fun --------------------- Smoss

It is inherently selfish, but what *I* look for in systems are unique bits of mechanics. To improve my own RPG system. It is getting harder to do that with time. So go innovate for me! :P But I do love classless systems - Fantasy setting (Or Star Wars. Damn fanboy nature of mine there!) I...

Personally I'd love to see the general forum get more general. If I want to discuss 2.5 / pathfinder / any flaws I find therein - I can find that forum. Same with 4e. Not that I would, I moved on from 3.5e to my own system and am not a big fan of 4e (I still play with friends once in a while...

I ended up creating my own magic system for my world/RPG system. There is a freeform style of casting (Build spells on the fly) and a formula style of spells (Pre-build spells - put in a spellbook). The first is for experienced players only (Unless you want to slow combat down while PCs piece...

I've had two good villains. One was a shadowy extraplanar creature that my PCs ended up dubbing the ever so cliched "The Shadow". (This also had the benefit of making me laugh harder at the move "The Gamers" when I first saw it years later). It was a powerful cosmic force - So it was not...

I hate long tedious combat. Probably another reason that I don't quite fit in with 4e as it feels like that to me. Heck, my last revision of my RPG rules was all about improving the speed of combats. I crafted it specifically so that combats are descriptive, intense, and deadly. A 'boss"...

Definitely. I started with AD&D 2e as a freshman in college. It was not long before I was house ruling and modifying trying to reach a certain different feel. Then 3e came out. It had a lot of what I was looking for and I had a lot of fun with it. Then I wanted something different and began...

My maps tend to be drawn by hand - Cleaned up in post by computer and add text. So a combo of several there. Not that it makes any of it good. I fail at art. I think art teachers gave up on me when they realized I was incapable of drawing a straight line even when using a straight edge...

My current campaign world is ALL about being all human. Other races are quite alien and not normally available to players. However, the humans are broken up into several different cultures that are quite varied. Each leans towards certain strengths and has their own abilities they can choose...

Lazy college kids led to my handle... :) Everyone got email in college (It was my first ever email account. And my first access to the internet...) It was the same for all. first letter of first name, then full last name. People often had fun with them if they made a word (Poor, poor...

My campaign world started with a simple concept. One deity - The personification of Fate. The deity started by creating the world and letting all the races it created run rampant without power limitations. That was the world's first age (Age of Dragons). After wiping the world clean in an...

This shall not leave the front page! :P Oh, and congrats! Smoss

SW Saga made me excited for 4e as I liked a lot of the changes in it and saw some serious potential. 4E did not live up to what *I* wanted. However, it did have some bits I promptly "appropriated" for my RPG system. 1) Removal of non-proficiency penalties and instead having proficiency...

I only play 7th edition. It is better because it is 3 + 4 !!! Take that lesser editions! :P In more serious news, both can make serious use of minis like you have done with Warhammer. If you are just starting the new 4E essentials might work for you. Should be easy to set up and run. Not...

1. Have you or are you willing to (AYWT) make a distinction between the positive portrayal of women in games/ gaming and sexist portrayals? My female gamers and I often talk about the stereotypes. Usually making fun of them. For my games I have my own setting and work towards a real feel...

After posting XP to Paws I notice it could be taken entirely wrong. Meant maybe the Original Poster (Or those who think with such leading questions) would learn. *sigh* We need to be able to edit XP... :) Smoss
