Good question. From my point of view it's simply because I appreciate, and would enjoy the broad concept of Dungeons and Dragons. Role-playing, exciting encounters, characters with cool abilities, epic fights and even levelling up. I could enjoy that, I could even enjoy running that. In this...

Interesting question. I used to go to the movies alone, way back when. Not a lot, but at times it was just handy...say if I was going between lectures or something. I even went to see one film and ended being the only person in the damned theatre - that pushed it a bit. Now I don't, and I'm not...

I actually think the series is more about the survival and/or death of species and civilizations. You get the continual issue of the Time Lords all being dead (but are they?), you get the continual stuff of humanity always surviving and as the Dalek says there is a New York throughout history...

Yes, he was in the trailer, I agree. It seemed people were suggesting he was in the actual episode. I thought this was the best episode yet (of season three), which I wasn't expecting.

I'm not sure we met Mr Saxon? Unless I missed something...I assumed the sauve bloke talking to Martha's mam was working for Saxon, but wasn't him. I only say this as I thought John Sim was Mr Saxon, and that ain't him. And I really liked this issue, it continues the them of 'survival' and what...

D&D is a fantastic exercise in micromanaged abstraction.

It's almost stretching the word industry, to call the RPG marker an industry, even companies like White Wolf are actually very, very small I understand. The only company of any respectable size is Wizards of the Coast. Personally, whenever these threads come on other sites the general concensus...

I'm not a big fan of FUDGE, but as the poster above, I'm a massive fan of the FATE system which is a FUDGE variant and used in Spirit of the Century. It's very, very good.

That can be more of it's more difficult aspects, but then you often have to think of it another way. WHFRP doesn't have classes, it has careers, in that they are jobs the player has done, or is doing. As a result, it's often best to view them this way, and instead of these things being jobs that...

Were using version 3.0. I agree to some extent on the Remove Disease and Special Mount being pretty crap. The more I think about the more crap I think the Paladin class is - it holds a certain appeal though :)

We've been through the common multiclass options and have dropped them for a number of reasons (low magic world, wanting a more down and dirty campaign, concept issues, etc.). I'd explain but I don't want to turn the thread into the reasons why so much...you know what it's like :)

I certainly think tweaking the Paladin is easier, as the core class is closer to the concept then. The problem I have is Special Mount and Remove Disease or sort of isoteric class abilities - they're not as clear advantages as Smite Evil, or Bonus Feats. And I've never got a handle on 'what a...

I am aware of some PRC's and main classes (one in Arcane Unearthed I believe) that would serve the purpose - but we try and avoid serious 'widget creep' in terms of amalgamating rules from this sourcebook here, that world there, etc. We have the main rulebooks, and some stuff from the FR book...

Okay, for various reasons (character concept and world issues) I'm wanting to do the following.... Option One Have a characters who takes the Paladin Class, and is for all intents and purposes a Paladin but she does not take the following abilities: Remove Disease Special Mount She still gets...

Well, that is the point, in any particular battle the character has no more HP than normal. So if they die, due to loss fo HP, they are dead. The Reserve is just meant to simulate the HP given be healing AND the ability of action heroes to have a lot of blood on them in a fight but be...

I ran a shot campaign with no Clerical healing (it was a mythical version of Europe - think Robin of Sherwood) and I found the Omega World rules worked perfectly. The characters had their HP and a HP Pool. The HP Pool was set to the same amount as their HP. The rules: (1) Any damage was taken...

It's a world of our own creation we play in, though some feats and stuff from FR have fallen into the game. So Paladins may also be able to Multiclass.

Does the loss of four cleric levels make that much difference? I may try and find the likely level top off point - we tend to play short, focused mini-series (from a D&D perspective). The characters start at 3rd and will have a likely level expectancy, etc. I'm guessing circa 8th - but I may...

Hah, good point, forgot about the multi-classing thing on the Paladin. MMmmm. I really liked the idea of the save bonuses, immunity to fear, disease, etc. Mmmmm. Might have to re-think now. Or go Paladin 2-3 and then Cleric for the rest? I could go straight Paladin - they just don't seem that...

Okay, I'm working on a character that is a warrior, leader, diplomat and priest. The idea is she believes she has been chosen by a God (in a moment of revelation) for a great purpose. She's not sure what it is, but that is what she believes. I view as a bit like Joan of Arc - or something like...
