Ok, no problem. My main issue with 3(.5)E spell casters is that they have been built in such a way that they are only suited for a high fantasy play style and only there they remain in sort-off balance with other classes. If you want to play a low magic setting, the spell casters are...

What's with you? I'm not telling you how to play your game. I know how the caster plays, I assure you.

I for one crave balance both as DM and a player. I worked a great deal to create a game for myself and my group that is balanced and fun. It took me while but I got there. From my own experience I can add two starting points for any dungeon master who is modifying or creating a game; first...

erm yes, you must know every minute of my life for past 10 years. I rewrote the class 2 years ago after 8 years of patching, experimenting and finding what is best for my group.

I've been playing 3e for past 10 years now and phb I know by heart... Like I said, for me and our style of play, caster are overpowered.

I know all of that but the game still requires the DM to tweak the adventure or a battle so casters wouldn't have the advantage. I personally use vampires, demons and other on very rare occasions, to make the enemies special. If I were to that every time the wizard is well prepared, my...

This is true, but my players always investigate as much as they can before venturing into the dangerous part, and even then the player who plays the wizard prepares the backup spells just in case if the party over saw something in their planing or didn't investigate enough. I might sound bitter...

Oh yes, but don't forget druids! One of my players really did a number on me with a druid character.

That's how I did it in the beginning but it became bothersome, so I went to the core of the problem.

Balance aside, what I hated about wizards is that they can replace any class (except healers) with ease. This is way I shift+deleted the class from my game and written an entirely new way of magic. We never had problems since :D

Heh I have none of that! Here is my spin: Elves - savages, humans believe that they poop diamonds (long story) Halflings - Tolkien like Gnomes - Outsiders that live around rocks and cave, viewed as crazy because they love their rocks and clash with giants Dragons - Extinct but are reborn when...

Yup probably, the NPC's that are not straight white guys are usually the npc I give more thought in the first place.

Well my friends and I were brought up in a racist free environment and my group is also religion free. In our town there like 90% of caucasians and there are no negative experiences with other people. So in our game there is racism and nationalism especially between the countries with bad...

What's world of darkness like? I read some of their free rules for the Vampire game and it looks to me like they are open for improvisation. That actions are not set in stone by the rules and that you can easily set DCs and modifiers (or however are they called in WoD) based on what the player...

I agree but still without kickstarter as an option, there would be no chance for many products to see a light of day. I must agree with chrisdojo thought, that I don't like seeing established names using kickstarter as you say a pre-order option. It's kind of, in a lack of a better word, lame.

I support this! What's the other major player next to GURPS?

Awesome, I'll have to talk my friends into trying new system. Like someone suggested before, everyone prepares a different game so we can tryout new things.

Well I might check it out at one point, if nothing else to see how it all works and what are the options. Might improve my d20 game in the end :)

Thank you Mailanka. GURPS really seems heavy on the rules, especially one second / turn in combat. I do like the freedom in character building but I already fixed that in my d20 games. Tell me, can things get out of control in a point buy system? Seems to me that if you start with 150-300 points...
