This is why we lamented the sale of WOTC to Hasbro in the first place. Corporate America is broken. There is no investment in people anymore. If Paizo can run a private company twice the size of the D&D division without layoffs it's fairly obvious that something is amiss at Hasbro WOTC. I just...

Thanks Redthistle! I am going to update the fear so there's two different types. One "ambient" and one "present". I think they should operate a tad differently and will help clear up any confusion. There was some confusion at my table last night, so I want to make it clearer. Also, I would not...

Yeah, I think level 5 is most fearsome. I max out DCs at 30. With the double save on Terror, wouldn't that only happen once in a great while? I mean if you have a game that features some horror elements (like mine does), do you feel it's a playable rule?

https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_lJhbSwBglnWVctajViTkgyaU0&usp=sharing Here is my take on Fear (called Ambient Fear) and Terror. This is version 1 (rough draft). Let me know what you think! Again, I am play-testing this, but more people involved will make a more solid option!

I updated to version 3 including a save now that can limit Injury to one level per combat. Let me know what you think! https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_lJhbSwBglnWVctajViTkgyaU0&usp=sharing

Check out Atomik Psioniks, it's a generic plug in for any game system. The free "how to use" document shows you how you can use the Atomik supplements with level-based and d20 based systems.

I find your all-inclusive statement and admonishment to be absurd. I appreciate that you nor your group wants to play a Hentai game. Awesome! Lots of people don't like sex in their adventure games nor would they like to explore erotic themes in their games. But if a bunch of adults get together...

On the subject of "Savage Worlds is eating up GURPS 4e market because #oldness" - no. No no no. SW is a light fast game. This market is largely comprised of aging adults who no longer have time to prep or deal with complex games. Not only is SW lighter and faster to pick up, but plot point...

That's an excellent point. I wonder if assigning levels of injury at the end of combat would allow us to introduce something like a save for half? Example: During combat take a "potential injury" for each event (from that list). At the end of combat make a CON save vs. DC 10 + 5 per potential...

Awesome ideas! Thanks for sharing.

I think using D&D 5e as a model, I could create new classes with the three Archetypes for other genres or settings. You could splice in setting specific options and then restrict core classes that don't fit. Instead of the "kitchen sink" approach, a tailored approach with the appropriate...

Version 2 is now ready for your reviews, comments and suggestions! Major revision. I think this one is MUCH better thanks to community feedback!

While debating the nuances of "common verbiage" and how they apply to "rules enforcement" you generally fail to (passively) notice your impending doom, are surprised and promptly eaten by a specific rule. Please roll up a new character. Let's go with something LESS... let's call it "INT...

Hit up Staples. Have them use their cutter to trim (closely) the end binding off. This should separate the covers and all pages. Try and get the book pages "aligned" at the binding before they cut it. Then you have a couple options. Option 1: Spiral or comb bind the pages. They "might" be able...

That would not only make great business sense but would be splendidly fun!

I suppose if my revelations are too verbose to ponder through, I can summarize; I'm getting back to my roots. I like the new edition of D&D. I'm going with simpler rules because complexity hasn't helped me find what I thought I wanted, takes too long to make characters and has likely irritated...

That should do it!

I like the HD option! I will state again, I really don't like the Lingering Wounds option in the DMG. Different strokes and all that. Just too stark and specific for me. I'm thinking with each level of Injury you take a level of Exhaustion (works the same as the rules, a long rest reduces by...

So, I've come full circle. I'm back with my first love - D&D. This is my "why". It's important for me to share, as my hope is to provide insight into the mind of a habitual system-addict, manic seeker of the "perfect medium complexity depth because #feelings" RPG and perhaps help other...
