At first glance it would seem that way, but healing is quite different. First of all you choose what you're healing, such as wound type, disease, or blindness, and then make your check. The character only heals that and anything beyond what is needed is lost. The penalties for healing outside...

I'm eagerly waiting for my pre-order copy of the DCC RPG to arrive despite already finishing the PDF sent to us for pre-ordering. I'm looking forward to playing it, if only to get a taste of the old school it was based on (I started in 81 with 1st Ed so missed the different versions of basic)...

Actually which Legend are you talking about? There are two. The one by Mongoose which is percentile and the other which, despite knowing about Mongoose's releasing of same title, uses the d20 system. The Mongoose variant is actually a reskinning of Runequest II, which they started to publish...

When this arc is finished is there a plan to put out a complete book?

My first thought was "there goes the edition," which I quickly dismissed. My second thought which has been mentioned is that there will be no open playtest. WotC promised it with 4e and never followed through and there has been little talk of it outside of conventions. We'll have to wait and...

Haven't seen mention of Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG which will be releasing soon. Highly recommend it as it is very rules light. It is modeled after Basic D&D with 3.0 mechanics added in. It also only goes to level 10 and seems designed for the players who no longer have time for long...

Been looking over my PDF too and love what I'm seeing so far. Never been a fan of races as class but if the level cap is 10, which I can't find anything that says differently so far, I think I can live with that. I have to agree the art is fantastic in giving the old school feel to it.

I voted for the optional rule. Vancian style represents such a small part of fantasy lit and it has always amazed me that it has stayed main stream for D&D all these years.

I think the only way that 5e could fail is if WotC fails to listen to as many people as they can. I don't think they did that with 4e or there wouldn't have been so much disparagement over it. I’m not saying they have to listen to every little thing and try to please everyone, not enough time...

Myth & Magic is a retro clone of 2e that just had the final version of the starter books released in PDF that covers the for basic classes up to level 10. Legend which is a re-skin of Mongoose's version of Runequest II after they lost the license. You can buy the PDFs for the main book and...

The final version of the quick starts released today.

I like the presentation you have and you seem to cover the important stuff that most fans will want. Without tearing into it a lot, it looks solid from what I looked at and it's good that you have sought help in designing it. A better source of feedback though will be actual game play. Which...

The problem with an IP like HP is that you're trying to shoehorn it into a predefined system when it should be built from the ground up using its own. I would also like to point out that level progression is fine, but should be limited to a number of levels related to years of school, so for HP...

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but somehow I missed there will be a new edition of Metamorphosis Alpha RPG by Signal Fire Studios; which I only discovered while looking over the Free RPG Day product list. According to their website it will use a new system designed by Jamie Chambers...

I don't get the NDAs either. Really if anyone wants to steal the game they can legally do it thanks to the OGL and regular copyright laws. WotC needs to defang their lawyers.

Since most of my choices have been mentioned I'll toss out e20 Evolved which is due out soon, but if you join the kickstart you'll get the 120+ page beta. It's an update of Saga with out SW by one of the writers for it.

I was thinking 10d6 originally but changed to the humor bit so will incorporate it. I also meant to have Mr. T win ties. I'll up date it. Thanks.

I have decided that the mechanics of the game will work like this: You have 4 hit points. Why? Because Chuck Norris lets you. This goes for every creature you might encounter, except Mr. T who has 50 (pity the fool who says different) and Chuck Norris, who breaths fire and spin kicks the sun...

The world didn't end in 2012... It wasn't destroyed by a meteor... Natural disaster... Nuclear destruction... Rogue planet... Or even the sun going nova. Over come the desolation of a world dying... A world where everything fights to survive... And one man ultimately holds the fate of the world...

I think if they want to keep the cat in the bag, whenever they finally announce it, they need to go live via the web with the announcement at the same time the convention hall doors open where it will be heralded. Open play testing needs to happen, especially if they want to win people back.
