You're kidding, right? :p

Last session we had a total of 9 combats, both planned and random. We played from 12:00PM to 7:30AM, and had a lot of roleplaying, so I'd say they went quite well. We used Pathfinder, and the APL is 7.

My preferred system would be one where each playstyle could be handled by at least one class: a straight one-trick pony for the ones who want simplicity, a very customizable one for players who want options, etc. That's something I like about 3.x: each player can choose at least class which...

I just warn my players: "If you min/max, I will min/max. And I can make up the rules". They usually get the messaage :D

Fixed that for you ;)

Because Tiamat as Huge is fun, but if it were bigger it wouldn't. Everybody knows that Gargantuan or Colossal five-headed iconic dragons which are very, very unfun.

Do you find it more or less odd than 3.5 being "more" D&D than Gygax' OD&D? ;)

I'll only post flaws from D&D games I've DMed: Basic: Races as classes. That sole point kept me from DMing BD&D for years. 2e: Too bland. Too much subsystems. 3.5: Huge stat blocks, too much modifiers to keep track of. 4e: Sameness. Everything seems to be just "damage+effect". And from...

My last TPK (via a ghoul rogue and a giant vampire bat) was awesome! Cleric Spheres are awesome!

Usually 3-4 combats per session (more if it's just a couple of creatures in a dungeon's room). We play 5-7-hour sessions and use 3.x/Pathfinder.

That's still what I always do when DMing BD&D. In fact, That's what I do when DMing anything other than D&D 3+ or Savage Worlds. Having an Umber Hulk mini, OTOH, is awesome :D

You, sir. speak truth :)

I've designed myself quite a few rpgs back in the day... The first one, at school, was a Dragonball-Z game. It was based solely on Namek and we got to play one of the anime characters looking for the Dragon Balls, having encounters and fighting each other. Later on I created a d6-based game...

Can we count HackMaster, Castles & Crusades, Basic Fantasy RPG and Pathfinder as awesome too?

I have to ask... What's wrong with Mutant Future?

My D&D is certainly more awesome than yours :p

I don't think D&D, in any of its incarnations, would be a very good system for playing a "Lord of the Rings RPG". MERP wasn't, either. You can always, of course, use just characters, creatures and geography from LotR as a base for a D&D/WHFPR/RQ/SW/whatever fantasy RPG you want and have fun with...

Somehow I missed that game. If I had known about it, I would probably have forced my friends to play it by now ;) Care for a link, please? Maybe it's not too late...

Is it acceptable to say that one edition is more awesome that another? ;)

I'd like a full chart, similar to the class charts, with more or less this information: Monster "class" / BAB / Saves / HD/ skills / # of abilities / level of abilities Then each ability (rend, blindsight, swallow whole, spell-likes...) would have a level. Creature types would be descriptors...
