I didn't learn it specifically from D&D, but from what grew out of my roleplaying in general: "Being serious brings boredom. Being crazy brings enlightenment."

For me, this.

If you want seat-of-your-pants lite-ness you should definitely try a system like Truth&Justice, Cartoon Action Hour: Season 2, or the newest version of HeroQuest.

Savage Worlds now has its own Super Power Companion, so you can get super power rules without the Necessary Evil setting if you feel like it. Savage Worlds Super Powers Companion - Pinnacle Entertainment | RPGNow.com

If fighters are going to lose some utility then maybe a few changes to what they're allowed to do (such as full attack as a standard action so they can be more mobile) would help. This also has the implication, however, that the mages, who traditionally are supposed to stand in the back, are...

I have taken a look at the section (via the GM Day free preview), and while it does change things I'm just thinking of something still much more different. At some point I might use it to try to build what I'm seeing.

I'd also like to accept Pathfinder as a changing 3.5 enough for me to want to try it again. In my case it's not really nostalgia as an excuse to break out my collection of 3.5 books that I never got a chance to use. What stops me is that I've had time to identify my preferred style, and that...

What makes us House Rule? Because we feel like it.

2009: Low Points: Choosing to kick myself off my favorite world-building site for being a jerk and generally incompatible with most of what was going on. An odd slowdown in products that catch my interest. (I'm normally incompatible with a majority of gaming products, but most of the time they...

Hmmmmm.........the ability to take on 6 mooks by yourself multiplied by the number of people in an adventuring party sounds like enough mooks that E6 may be fine for what I'm trying to do after all.

Although one could argue that if you have a problem with some spells that you just take out those spells. Thus the stopping point would come instead at the spell level where you're removing too many spells.

At this stage I don't know what I could ask that would be more specific: I'm asking what sort of problems one runs into with something like E10 that you wouldn't run into with E6, and what sort of problems something like E10 doesn't run into that full 3eD&D/Pathfinder does.

I've heard about E6, and read some stuff on it, and while I like the idea of making the game easier to work with I look forward to something a bit higher level in terms of character power. Since people have also mentioned using the E6 idea for 8th (E8) and 12th levels (E12) I was wondering if...

I read the wiki, and I have to say Golarion feels very savage, but manages that while being dark and not cruel. Everywhere there's something that can go wrong, something to provoke the "fight or flight" response, but unlike some other settings Golarion doesn't feel like it wants you to hate it...

LOLBast demands cheeseburgerz!

Drazzt D'uplicate: God of poorly-disguised ripoffs of popular fiction characters. Used his powers to steal dominion from Frudu Baggain. Oh, wait, sorry, small gods...............

Here's what I usually do: Build the setting so big that it's reasonable that even a deific power might not be able to keep an eye on everything. Define raw power as having an inverse-proportion relationship to willpower and perceptiveness. Power corrupts. Not-so-heroic people get evil or...

Perhaps what really can be taken away from all this is that people can try their hardest to make something they think will be great — and that a lot of people end up liking — but they can still stumble in the execution.

And if you want to go with the loincloth-only version you apply the Beefy Heroes campaign quality on p. 322. FantasyCraft really is like some great big machine with all these different pieces so that you could just spend all your time trying the different combinations out and never even get to...

I think "stuff you don't do more than once an adventure" is supposed to be covered in M&M using the Power Stunt rules. If you want to encourage this over having the power inherently reduce the pp at character creation and hand out more Hero Points per adventure. I don't think M&M at default is...
