I'm not opposed, because I want SW fans to get their fix, but Palladium's house system is easier for me to convert to the systems I use.

Even Palladium sells all of their products in PDF now, through DTRPG. This is Viacom.

That's how Gygax designed them when he separated Race and Class in AD&D. It's not the only way they can be designed and I've been saying all along-- well, since the advent of the OSR-- that it was a mistake, both to make species choice so irrelevant in D&D and to have even separated it from...

For me, I love the "zero to hero" power curve... the fact that I can start off as a local hero protecting a small village from goblin raiders, and by the end of the game I'm murdering the god of all goblinkind by throwing planets at him. Much as I hate the proliferation of nearly identical...

A wild wolf knows he'll eat every pineapple he meets until the last.

It is my favorite book ever. I've reread it on an almost yearly basis since I was eight years old.

George Lucas didn't plan to make one trilogy until the first movie made so much money he had to. He has a habit of having "planned it all along" only after flying by the seat of his pants and sticking the landing.

Happy Tree Friends is Chuck Norris' favorite Christmas movie.

It's like a druid, wearing metal armor non-diegetically.

Hey, I've never had good caviar before, but if it's really that much better than the stuff I have had... I'm not sure I'm ready.

Prefer my bagels plain, with smoked salmon cream cheese and cheap caviar from Walmart.

Between halflings and gnomes, there's most of a good lineage.

Planescape and Star•Drive. The Great Wheel (Outer and Inner Planes) is still the Great Wheel, with Sigil and Union and the City of Brass being late Tech Level 7/early TL 8 hypermetropolises while the entire Prime Material Plane (including Spelljammer's Radiant Triangle) has been subsumed into...

Sure... but only to your dump stats. You're trading the certainty of a 15 with a +2 ASI for only a near certainty of getting +2-3 points to the stats you only bought up to 9 or 10.

The average of 5d4 is only 12.5.

The way I'm doing it, going forward, is to remove all 1st level ASIs from race/background/etc and have players assign their stats according to the standard point buy (27 points). But, to replace the standard ASIs, players get to roll 5d4 for each ability score, in order, and use the higher...

I think it's a fine point and a fuzzy one, but metacurrency mechanics can be diegetic as long as metacurrency is generated on the basis of character decisions-- the player choosing in the role of the character-- and is spent to enhance actions (or reactions) that the character performs...

No. They should follow the same in-game and in-narrative logic as PCs-- I'm not going to say it-- but I see no reason they should follow the same mechanical rules as the PCs and many reasons they shouldn't. They're not living in different worlds, they're just using different levels of resolution...
