So I stumbled upon WaRP thanks to looking back at ENWorld news articles from the past little bit and I think I want to start a sci fi game using the system but first I wanted to see if anyone has played it and maybe has advice/feedback. Bonus Points: I've talked to one player about it and he...

My reason for wanting to use some other standard is for my own personal verisimilitude. Currently all adventurers are rich, at level 1. Their left over money after buying all of their equipment is enough to feed a family of commoners for weeks, which I just don't like. My current house rule...

Out of the normal classes the one I didn't include was the Paladin, but only because I personally am not interested in playing it. I also picked other with my others being: A class that uses martial skill and arcana training together. I really like both 4e's Swordmage and PF's Magus (though the...

All I know is that if Monks aren't there then I have some Desert Dwarves who discouraged weapons and armor as a liability and gain "mystical energy" from a mildly poisonous flowering plant to find a new home for. And the elves that fight with only their bodies because "it is more graceful and...

Still excited about the book. The tools to build your own race in the playtest were wonderful, hoping the full book has even more options.

I would, but the problem would come in when/if I ever wanted to go off the rails and make my own rule changes that aren't supported by modules currently. For example: I will always use Wounds/Vigor Points. If that isn't in the Campaign Builder I would be at a loss for how to tell the builder...

Not sure if it would work yet, but already imagining a change where Humans keep the blanket +1 but lose the floating +1 and Demihumans get a +2 in their racial stat and have it max at 22 instead of 20 with the drawback that another stat maxes out at 18, but without any upfront penalty.

I don't have anything to add, but I just wanted to say thanks so much! Both of these maps are going to be very useful when I rerun the playtest for a group of new players. I also have the NPC list bookmarked for later perusing when I'm not at work. If XP were not disabled I'd +1 you both :)

I voted "A Lot", but would like to say that I hope 5e will allow me to lower that to "Some" or even "A Little." Currently my version of Pathfinder uses Bell-Curve Rolling, Wounds/Vigor Points, changes to the feat system, and I'm working on a hack inspired by 5e to make the math flat. I've also...

I didn't have much of a problem with it. When our wizard couldn't stay at least 30ft from the combat the Cleric of Moradin stood with him to at least help shield him from one attack per round. That +bottlenecks that I made sure to call out to players as they went through them made combat feel...

Two things: First: When I ran the playtest it felt fine, actually the Wizard's MM felt less powerful than the Lazer Cleric, imo. For the fighter instakilling Kobolds, I just said that since there were so many around him he didn't always hit the one he was aiming for, but his powerful blows and...

I was really looking forward to the silver standard as well. Not that long ago one of my players picked up a copy of a magical medieval society and informed me that level one characters pretty much had to be nobles or the children of rich merchants. This was something I had known for awhile, but...

Maybe it is just me, but it feels really arbitrary as to what grants a bonus to something, and what grants advantage/disadvantage. I.e: the Shield spell grants half cover (a +2 bonus to AC) while Shield of Faith grants Disadvantage to attackers. I'm not sure why, but every time something gave a...

Just a quick defense of getting rid of different XP progressions for different classes; when my group decided to pick up Castles and Crusades to try and get a sense for the feel of old school DnD, I was forced to actually track XP instead of awarding levels as a pacing issue. This added an...

The only times I've started at level 1 have been because we've had a batch of new players that needed to be initiated, including when I was a new player myself. Other times we've started at level 3-6, depending on the experience level we wanted the characters to have. The reason I as a GM...

I have a tangentially related question, if the female character isn't a fighter/paladin/cleric and therefore isn't wearing plate. Say, for instance, she is a rogue, is it still bad/dumb/wrong for her to wear lighter clothing with a tighter fit that may or may not show some cleavage? Cause...

I feel ashamed that I liked The Core now, though to be honest I was 13 at the time.

I agree completely with this. My first experience with Tabletop Roleplay was only in 2009, but I fell in love immediately because of the very reasons you said above. I didn't have to be a certain guy, I could take one of the many classes offered and make an unlimited number of different...

We once had a gladiatorial game that only had 2 PCs and between roughly every other session I skipped years of time and awarded level(s) and/or magic items to represent their burgeoning skill as well as their status as combatants. This allowed the game a nice flow with combats being more varied...

Not getting involved in the argument taking place, just stating my personal opinion on the art: As I read through the Pathfinder Core Rulebook (which was not my first D&D experience, I had played 4e extensively and had looked through many 3.5 books as well as having seen some art from older...
