If we did that I'd rather have flavorful names like Bonetti, Thibult or Capo Ferro.

Then we could dual class bard/fighter that specialises in Earth Wind and Fire.

From a read through - I love it. All the abilities not directly combat related really help make a well rounded class, Weapon Lore really jumping out at me as something useful, out of combat, and very fitting to a fighter. Back when Bo9S came out (and 4th edition) - I was one of those that had a...

Reading the article, it just re-reinforces my desire to play "big hero High Fantasy" and Silver Age (maybe a little bronze age) Super-heroes as my primary genre. Also why avoid Horror as an RPG genre. What I want out of play is the exact opposite of what the articles mentions. All power to those...

A number of names I recognize and one RPG creative superstar. Great team, looking forward to the actual material.

Actually my biggest problem with 5E is the lack of breadth of options. You make a character, you choose a subclass, and there are very few significant player choices I can make after that. Spellcasters have a few more options with spell choices, but even that is limited. I don't care if the...

It's easy, just let those decision points being about flexibility (more choices to fit different situations) than about stronger choices (adding more numbers). Bruce Lee, in the Tao of Jeet KuneDo talked about the differences between a street fighter and a trained martial artist that way - a...

Advantage was my single favorite thing about 5E as opposed to earlier systems. No adding little modifiers at all - that was huge to me; it spend up combat, bonuses were not lost or forgotten about. Adding all sorts of modifiers would lessen the game to me.

For me (going to original post) - I want the classes balanced with original classes. I want to be able to pull up and adventure or monster book and just play them in Level Up (the 100% BC is a big deal for me).

One thing mechanically - and while it isn't "sexy" it could easily be part of the idea - and going back to early days; the fighters saves were the best in the game, he could shrug off stuff that most others couldn't. Putting some of that could go a long way towards the idea of the "fighter can...

I remember that people on the Hero system forums were figuring out what to call the big revised book - for HERO 5th.. and one of the owners (may have been Steve Long but I don't recall) said, paraphrased - Call it Fred if you like, as long as you buy one. So that was retconned to Fifth Revised...

One of the the things I love about Cypher system books is that when something is mentioned, the sidebar has a page reference to that thing (for the full monster write ups, or if the text mentions a specific about combat, a page number that details that specific). So much more useful than a...

It was their 4E magazine. So the issues are older, but it is there in drive through. I found it with a search engine search for Level up and Goodman and it brought me to Drive-through.

This has me super excited. The original had some great design, but I loved the setting. If D&D is Tolkien +sword and Sorcery thrown in then serial numbers filed off - Diamond throne was the for the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant :Unfettered, the use of Main like in warmain, Giants, and a class...

I was happy about continued Genesys support, but I understand where you are coming from.

Edge Studios is owned by Asmodee, and is taking on all the RPG stuff that FFG did - including Star Wars, Legend of 5 Rings, Genesys and others.

This is what I was going to post. Consider this seconded.

I answered the 1-10% because of one word - "Lethal" - 90% of my gaming is Super-hero genre. Lots of combat, but very little of it is lethal - which matches the tone of the comics we emulate with our game. Stakes are high, losing can result in catastrophe, but death is not the only failure state...

Mostly Numenera - I only first got into the system a few weeks ago, and have the "newly converted" love for it.

It all depends on the system, and if can give me a play experience that 1) I'm interested in (I don't play horror game for example) 2) A system I already know isn't sufficient. I know 3.x/Pathfinder very well, done some 5E, HERO is a main system, and Genesys and Cypher system for the more...
