Mom!!! Phineas and Ferb are making a Torphies Forum!

If you want to simplify the dice system then the quickest way is to eliminate some of the steps. Instead of d4, d6, d8, d12, d20, 2d20, 3d20 it would be better to go with either d4, d6, d8 and leave it at that or go with a broader pool of d4, d12, d20. The only problem is that it will require...

So if a clone were to be made any thoughts on the reskin? One I had is that Weren could be renamed Sasquatch which they were called in one of the other settings basically, if memory serves me correctly, but that name can't be copyrighted as it's a public domain name for a real world/mythical...

I don't know about covering every PL as from our own history PLs tend to overlap and continue to exist for quite awhile after the introduction of the new one. I think it would be better to choose different periods to address in the setting for each chapter or section and then possibly provide...

Star*Drive was to Alternity as Greyhawk was to 3.x, by which I mean it was the default setting with most references in the books referring to it. I'm a big fan of edition free campaigns and believe Green Ronin's Freeport is the best example to prove it works. Unfortunately since it's a WotC IP...

I'd like to see a 9x6 book similar to, but more comprehensive than, D&D Essentials as far as having everything to play in one book by including GM stuff and about 50 monsters or so. A unique twist that might make the book more interesting to both new and existing players would be to follow...

Getting back on track, I've been thinking about the mentioning of getting rid of either careers or professions as a few people have brought up. First I have to agree careers seem to have been put in place to give the game a semblance of character classes or in more modern 4e terms, character...

I have to agree with minitrue. Nothing against Ryan Dancey either, but the majority of his work during that time was PR and part of good PR is taking the heat away from hot issues. Ending a gameline is definitely a hot issue. Any way a good marketing agent can make statistics and surveys say...

Actually I think Alternity was dropped not because it wasn't popular, but because WotC was guaranteed to make more from Star Wars which was going to be a competing game system. The Star*Drive setting has a subtle Star Wars feel to it and the Weren scream Wookie clone. If you're making two...

I'll agree with you on that tyrlaan. While I'm longing for updated mechanics and setting some just want the setting.

The only problem I have with that is multiple d8s eventually remove the probability of getting under the score needed for an amazing result. It might be an inconvenience to add in a d16 but it still allows for the adding of minimum of roll of one, so if both dice come up one (totaling two)...

I think one change that should be made, it's more of a layout issue, is that there should be just one core book. I like the step mechanic and agree it should be kept, but now that there are new sizes of dice I've wondered about replacing the d6 with a d16 to give it a curve. So you'd have d4...

In the thread discussing WotC's letting the Star Wars license lapse I mentioned how it would be awesome if a second edition of Alternity were released. I've got a lot of XP from fellow fans who'd like to see it happen. So my question to everyone is if it were announced WotC, or even someone...

There's been a few videogames with generators that could be used for generating art for characters as well as monsters. The key would be finding one of them willing to port that part out to sell to a smaller market. I think there's some shareware that's modeled after police profile scetch...

I was thinking about this some more and I am wondering if WotC is gambling on getting the license back later? If you think about it WotC/TSR in relation to their products have always placed certain settings/games on the shelf to later bring them back. Granted some settings/games are still...

I don't see there being a difference until maybe PF 2.0, but Paizo has said that won't be for another nine or 11 years. They have also said they wouldn't mind doing a different game which if they go that route will probably be different and not compatible, though it too will probably be a...

I got in with 2e though it was a short game. Picked up different eds from time to time. Still have the Alternity version and just bought an extra copy a month or so ago.

Yeah, that would be pretty bad move also but I would hope that the initial cards would be fixed in the main box.

As I posted in the other thread I don't care for the rarity assignment for the boosters or boosters in general. I'd rather they went with expansion decks similar to the mentioned Paizo deck.
