LOL that is an amusing idea elves with antlers. The name may be cheesy but I think the concept of a half dwarf half orc who have the stubbornness and hardiness of dwarves combined with the strength and brutality of orcs makes an awesome group of bad guys. I have been playing around with the...

The dwarks don't sound cheesy at all and I don't see why a half orc half elf would have to be cheesy. It could certainly add a lot of drama and role playing to the game. In my games half orcs don't have it easy in human lands. And I let my players know that. Yet some still chose them and they...

I don't understand this attitude. I would ask the player why they wanted it and if it was for something non cheesy I would find away to accommodate them.

I think it would be interesting if they picked one time for the core but then put out supplements for the other major time periods.

That has been my experience too. I know a group of young uns as I call them ,they are all around 30, who play AD&D second edition.

I have read a lot of gaming fiction over the years. My three favorites have been the Shadowrun, Dragonlance and Pathfinder. I have read the Pathfinder novels before I played the game.

I don't know if it was just us older players who didn't like 4E. My son's group who are a mixed group of 20 and early 30 year olds didn't like it either. I think it is more a game style issue than an age issue. But I will admit that for me I am tired of changing DnD editions when I was happy...

To bad he didn't change the system before we left the fairy realm because that could have been used to explain the changes. I hate when players do that too. In my campaign I have reasons why things are the way they are. For example dwarves are not open as a player class and elves are the only...

It was not because he didn't want me to have them I didn't have enough points to buy them. Not after doing my magic and stats. He is didn't want a high powered game so that translate into less points to spend. I can respect that. The other players didn't have the same issue. The mage we built is...

While I like some of these I think turning knock into a skill plus makes it worthless and hurts parties without rogues. To successfully use the spell you would have to pour ranks into the skill plus have a decent dex. Why not instead make it take longer and have it make noise that change makes...

That would drive me nuts and I would say I don't think your play style is compatible with mine as a DM. It is obliviously a player who would change classes at different levels just because of mechanics is not invested in the actual story of the game. And while there is nothing wrong with playing...

Thanks for the input and I may be back for help. I am very impressed with the Hero system. Yes character creation is rather long but I am used to Shadowrun which is also long. I may look into getting a character generator to help. And I do believe the game is more suited to this than DnD any...

I think he will be a fine DM for Hero. This is my first time playing with him as a DM but my son and several friends have played Hero and Mutant and Masterminds with him and they think he is a good DM. His mistake was thinking that we would not be open to learning a new system. When he stepped...

He is opposed because he feels I am not giving the character a chance in the new system. And because it will have a slight impact on the game it always does when a character leaves. We had a player take a break because of personal issues and we are bringing in a new player so there will be a...

Another player is playing my brother and the heir to the throne so the whole issue with hunters from Egypt after the party is still very valid. I thought to make my swashbuckler a spy for the English Queen which would fit in very well and give her the knowledge skills my other character lost...

Are you talking about a player in your game or me?

These are all excellent points. I would also add that some of this is the need to win the argument. I see that a lot on internet forums that and the stirring up the drama because it is amusing for them.

I can get behind using the character as an NPC I have done that as a DM and have had it done to a PC. I think that we are a perfect place to bring in a new character. We are in London. My character has locked horns with one of the party over how she views how the party is just blundering around...

I think I may have a PDF copy of it I will have to look. I really need to organize my PDFS and make a master list. I like swashbucklers but hated playing them in DnD. I am using that as part of the argument to let me switch. I am a little tired of playing mages. I think Hero might support it...

That is how I look at it. Normally it would annoy me a lot especially if we were higher level than second, we have only been playing since January and we play every other week. In this case I was already annoyed because the DM who is a great story teller had no clue of really running a 3E game...
