Wow, I really like this. Nice and easy to use, but I would probably just say each wound gives -1 to all rolls and to their movement speed.

Here's a simple crit table to use for this sort of thing. I would probably just let pc's accumulate AP's to use as they wish without them resetting to one every morning. Classic D&D injury table (Robert Fisher) http://web.fisher.cx/robert/infogami/Classic_D&D_injury_table

Just do away with negative hitpoints altogether and use the Warhammer crits. Whenever someone is reduced to 0 hitpoints, roll on the critical hit table- you may keep on fighting with a flesh wound or you might get "head flies off in a random direction 2d10 feet." Allow the use of an action...

Didn't Conan fight a giant snail that spit acid once?

There's also RoleMaster Classic and WEG is rumored to be working on a new fantasy rpg based on the D6 engine. Also, Kenzer will probably have HackMaster 5 out sometime in the next 2-3 years.

ZOMG...that is creepy! My next campaign definitely needs to have this guy wandering the streets at night.

Including Unbreakable? ;)

Yeah, stupid books for the masses usually go on for 1000's of pages and are acclaimed as the best fantasy books written since LOTR. < i cannot roll my eyes enough > Perhaps you just weren't smart enough to follow the story.

Belkar is never more dangerous than when he's dead.

This. When first level characters can teleport at will, I get afraid. Very afraid.

People would still complain about something.

Yay Clark! Now if you could just convince the guys on your own forum. The Necromancer board has gotten so anti-4e that I hate going there anymore. :\

Wow, your group is much nicer than mine is. I'm pretty sure that once they realize they don't have to follow any alignment, they won't be taking any prisoners or letting anybody just walk away. They certainly wouldn't have given up an expensive horse.

Yep, it depends on the 12 yo. I'm pretty sure I was playing Squad Leader when I was that age. With games like this, you either have an interest and grok it or you don't. This is why I try not to push my wife and kids into my weird hobbies too much. Although I do admit to playing a lot of...

Let's see, in Basic or Advanced D&D- Fighter- attack with long sword every round (any other action is either completely sub-optimal or the rules are incomprehensible) Cleric- BD&D: attack with mace (no spells at 1st level, mace is about the only decent usable weapon), AD&D: attack with mace...

In every test combat I've run so far, it took at least two hits with the most damaging powers to take down a character. And that's pc vs pc. NPC's seem considerably weaker.

Ok, so these rolls are just like when you fight a demon or devil in any previous edition. If the demon makes the roll to gate in additional demons, the fight just got a lot harder if not impossible. That's part of the danger involved in fighting such creatures.

I ran an example combat for myself between the wizard and the dwarf fighter. The wizard won initiative, used an action point to gain an additional action, and promptly killed the fighter in one round.

Thanks Scott. I really appreciated what you guys did with the wotc site today as well.

None of these races have ever appeared in any game I've run before, so why should I stick them in now? PC races are a huge element in the flavor of a campaign setting and not one that should be changed like the flavor of the month IMO. If wotc put in Gelatinous Cube, Robot, and Winged Monkey...
