Most of my hobbies are game related. RPGs, Board games, Video games. I am really into music (not performing) but constantly searching new bands, sub-genres and such. I love a lot of movies and TV - most are either Geek genres or action/Procedurals. Books are similar, mostly SF /Fan - but have a...

I'm at level 7 in the time I got to play today. Shooting for 20 for the wolf pup. Personally I am really enjoying it. It feels very Diablo, and with the open shared world; it has some of those things that feel a little bit MMOish, but not, in my opinion, intrusively. That means there are some...

Alien and Princess Bride. Simple reason - the wife an I only play co-op games (better for family harmony) - and we like both of the games' source material.

Considering that HERO 5th and Pathfinder are two of my favorite game, and that the lightest game I use is Cypher, I voted Heavy.

Background, personality, motivation and abilities are all tied together in a character I player, and the character has to be someone I could play with an emotional connection with. That includes all those listed things - and I am very particular about how it comes together. It could also be that...

I started visiting here back when rumors of a new fangled 3rd edition were swirling around. I don't think I formally joined until much later. At the time I was a HERO only gamer... although the wife and I would play 1 on 1 RPG in 1st edition D&D for a change of pace. I really liked 3rd, and...

At this point... very low. I played 5E off an on for a few years. Found it fun to GM, but a little simple to play - I like more choices for character. I absoluty love Level Up / A5E - and after getting those book, moved to that as my core "D&D alike*" game (from Pathfinder 1st ed). So really...

My whole purpose to roleplay is to become someone else and enjoy the action. But if I am not connected to the character I cannot become them. For me, personally, chargen is where I make that connection. If it is a handout, I have no connection to the character, and thus to the activities this...

D&D 77 - Basic with B1. Star Wars - '77 - saw it in the first few weeks of released Earthsea - I've never read them, I mostly know about them from my wife in the late 80s. H.Potter - I knew about it from first book, but didn't start reading until 3rd book was first out in hard cover. M:tG -...

Holy Cow! When I ran speedsters if the Brick was a speed 4 (or 5 for higher powered games) and the standard EP was a 6, I'd try for a 7.... maybe an 8, but I tried to keep is no more than couple higher than the slowest. I love the tricks. I remember going through the core book and finding a...

I can see that. But for 25 years the only people in my groups that wanted to play a speedster was me. :devilish:

Escalation die - you have a d6 that turns up by one every round, and that adds to hit rolls. However in 13th age the monsters have different powers that work if the escalation die is odd or even. It's a narrative rule that does the "losing at the start of the fight, figuring out how to fight the...

I like the Speed Chart from HERO. I like a 3d6 roll under for skills; I appreciate that it pretty much helps defined just how good you are. If you have a 17- you have to roll under on 3d6, you know you are very good at that skill. I like the crit system in 3E/PF1 - the range and different...

For me, the whole situation made me look at what and why I was playing what I played. I realized that I was playing Pathfinder and Level Up out of inertia and nostalgia... and I have a lot of games I wanted to try out and play: Cypher, and to a lesser extent WOIN, Fantasy/Modern Age, and...

In the last comment I said something to the effect of "I do not think that this move will give you the results you are looking for. If not, D&D has survived one company losing profits because it did know what gamers wanted. People played the older edition until a new company came in that truly...

I was formal, wrote clearly and made my opinions known. In the last comment I said "I do not think that this move will give you the results you are looking for. If not, D&D has survived one company losing profits because it did know what gamers wanted. People played the older edition until a...

I said yes but I had pretty much already stopped. My two primary systems are Pathfinder 1st Ed, so no WotC there, and Cypher, so no WotC there either. I played some of Level Up, but if that can be non OGL'd and keep getting support, I'm all for that too. Fantasy & Modern Age interest me, as...

I kickstartered W.O.I.N, and I always wanted to see what else could be done with the system. I'm all in. I don't know if Level Up and be un OGLed, but if can, I will be there.

My three would be Pathfinder 1.0 - I just have all the stuff. But for supported systems - Cypher and AGE (Fantasy and Modern)

I picked up a bag of those when I started hosting D&D. It has been just fine for our uses (no more than 5 people at any one time but there were plenty left over after that).
