I'd prefer a more rules light system than 3e, preferably with there being a clearer path to using features as modular parts of the system like feats or skills.

I've played a couple of games as a player set on the pictish border of Aquilonia, as a GM I'm keener on playing a more episodic game with adventures set in different areas rather than the usual D&D style campaign arc.

I'd been thinking about this and now I've decided that I do want to pick it up.

Add me to the setting specific changes group, not normally for individual characters.

That's funny I don't remember seeing Paul Darrow in it. ;) Actually Gareth Hunt has definitely aged since the '70s. MM, big fan of Blake's 7 from the first broadcast.

Generally with older editions it averaged 4 and the same with 3e. I've had bigger and smaller, but find for D&D that 4 is a good size for a party, though I think I've had about 8 in OD&D and five in 3e. I think that 3e would suffer in combat with large parties as there tends to be a lot more to...

Steak and Kidney Pie.

Beregost[IC] Spying a group of children playing Beregost asks them if they know where to find Old Man Nester. [TAG] [OOC] Figured that children might find it easier to talk to someone their size.

Very similar with all editions so far 1-2 years usually.

Enjoyed this more than the first couple of episodes as it started to explore themes and the cast much more in depth than the pilots.

For me its too fast in 3e and 3.5 default assumptions, but there are lot of different ways to play this game and I do it with revised XP awards and treasure to match my game idea.

I quite liked it, I thought that the first episode was a bit stronger, but it has promise.

Wilderlands of High Fantasy classic S&S setting with scope to include or ignore high tech elements. Glorantha

A qualified yes, as it can help to keep campaigns fresh and alive, but has to be used with care.

I've made good use of detect magic, light, read magic, create water, mage hand and mending. Cure Minor Wounds has saved plenty of characters at 1st and 2nd level as it autostabilises if on negative HP.

I liked this episode, but I miss the older format where there was more time to develop characters and the plots. Still had some great lines though: Mickey: I'm a tin dog! K9: We are in a car

Well if they could make something good then I'd see it, but I won't hold my breath waiting.

Characters pretty much get something every level in 3e anyway like extra hp, improved BAB, special abilities, feats, stat boosts, spells so I don't see any reason to give the spoilt brat mentality more candy that will only keep the demands coming.

I use a fate point system which allows a character to spend a fp to avoid being killed off like this and I'd give the player that option or the chance to create another character if they wished to. Normally if I've got new players I'll try to avoid the encounters being too overpowering, but I...

I think the big change is 2e is set after the Storm of Chaos which has made magic become viewed as much more a thing of chaos than in 1e.
