Rich, Thanks for the examples and perspectives. I, too, have been gaming a very long time. I'm 34 now and I started gaming when I was 9 years old. OD&D and Star Frontiers! yay. Anyway, most of my years of gaming, mainly through Advanced and 2nd edition, I never used minis. I had many players...

Yeah, I've seen groups try to play D&D without minis. But, it is nearly impossible to determine when an attack of opportunity takes place without a battle map and minis. I should add that I love using minis and I like the D&D line of minis. I just want Mearls to know that I'm not gullible...

Don't make me laugh. I can't speak for all the posters around here, but I'm not this gullible. There's nothing you can say that'll convience me that D&D v3.5 and all its new terms like 'squares' for movement and other details on terrain and diagonal moves WASN'T included to prod (require?)...

Yeah, like you would know! ;)

The contents of Chapter 3 are worth the price tag alone. I'd suggest you buy it from Amazon.com, it is only $26.37.

Back when I used to play D&D... I allowed players to roll two hit die at each level and take the higher of the two.

I suggest you return your D&D books and exchange them for the HackMaster RPG! :) Just kidding (not really), but I hope your campaign turns out well!

Okay guys, I’ve done some tweaking, and here’s what I got… As per page 166 of the PHB, a suit of chainmail has 25 hit points and a Hardness rating of 10. When an attack is successful as a touch attack, the armor/shield is struck and suffers any damage beyond its Hardness rating. The character...

Sure, send them to me. I appriciate it. And no, I don't think I'll be too worried about balance issues, since the PCs won't be taking any additional damage, just their armor. I have been working on a modified system, and I'll post it soon.

Everyone, thanks a lot for your replies and input. After reading over the posts, I think I will tweak this system a little more. I need to incorporate Hardness rules and I like the idea of "if a touch attack hits, then your armor is damaged (if the damage exceeds Hardness of course)". Keep the...

Yeah, I am a dork, how do I move it to the right forum?

If you are the type of DM that likes to monitor damage to armor and how it relates to game mechanics, then you might find my variant rule useful. I devised these variant rules for a few reasons. First, I like this kind of attention to detail (but I also like to avoid cumbersome rules). Second...

Then let me clarify. HackMaster is the most detailed RPG out there, ever created, etc., in my opinion.

Yeah, there's a lot to keep up with and not many would-be game masters are able to get behind the HackMaster GM Shield. That said, after a few sessions it all starts to flow together and becomes second nature. All the added features of HackMaster (like Honor, armor damage, critical hits and...

HackMaster is the be-all-end-all of fantasy, sword-and-sorcery RPGs. If you like to Game Master with the feeling that you are actually the game's MASTER, look no further. Nothing is free in HackMaster, everything has to be earned. What a refreshing thought.

Just run a HackMaster campaign and you won't have ANY problems with powergamers. The sad fact is that D&D 3.5 (is it still 3.5?) was created by powergamers and as such is a game for just such types.

Just run a HackMaster campaign and you will not have any of these problems.

Can you give us more information on the Injury System?
