Pfft. 2 > 1, always. Have you never been to a Math class? Plus, my idea involves the four pictures in a non-random fashion. A-ha!

I've got two ideas. Do I go with the safe one, or the strange one? Hmm... Either way, Starman: It's on!

Seen the pics. "Interesting." Good luck, Starman! BSF: Commentary is always good.

If you still need confirmation, sunday afternoon US time (whichever) would be fine with me. And yes, in CDM, a rookie can win virtually enytime. Just not, you know, this time.

First of all, thanks to awayfarer for making this a nailbiter. Also, this may be the first time maldur gave a judgement to my story, so huzzah! Is that American time? Sunday afternoon Sidney time would be sunday morning German time... I guess that would be sort of alright with me (though...

I might not be around for the weekend (beginning tomorrow, since Germany has a holiday), or I will probably be around to check, but not to write. It's not clear yet, but if I don't write anything, you know what's up.

The whole of Fight! or DoW, but it is separated into multiple rolls that feel a lot like task resolution to me. "I try to hit him with my sword." – "I attempt a lock."

I actually agree. It doesn't say conflict resolution. And I think the subsystems Fight! and Duel of Wits are pretty clear task resolutions. Even the other tasks aren't true conflict resolutions. That doesn't change the fact that by stating the intent (and consequences of failure) and with LiR...

Let me try to answer that. In D&D, sneaking through a castle would mean that you make Sneak checks typically for every 30 feet or so, but realistically (take 10 and such) whenever you meet a guard. Because you're trying to be quiet. In BW, you're not trying to be quiet, you're trying to get...

As mean DM says, I ask because that seems specifically not an issue with BW. Okay, I forgot artha, but with artha and tests for advancement, what else is there resource-wise to keep track of?

I would ask you to clarify this, because BW uses an abstract resource stat and I can't really see that being even close to D&D and it's gp counting, hp counting, and if anybody still does that, weight and encumbrance, specific components, and so on. On the other hand, you do log every test you...

I agree that the whole BW game has a learning curve. It's probably best if you start off the just the basic rules and introduce specific elements over time. I think scripting works fine, really. Maybe if you start with a Duel of Wits, you won't have too many seperate elements to check up, and...

Some (really short) notes on what I've read so far: tadk: I really like the idea of your "story", but to me it didn't really work. When I get drawn into this strange fugue world where your normal stories live, I sometimes wish for a little more structure. This, however, was too structured, too...

Yeah, glad to hear you're alright.

You say that now... ;-)

I saw that! Just you wait!

I call dibs on using this in the next round!

Thanks. Fun read is good. awayfarer: I'm sad to see you go in the first round, but you're right, of course. Originally I'd hoped to be finished friday night, so that I had a few hours left for some rigorous editing. At least with the first two to three passes, a story can improve a lot. Now...

Cutting it awfully close here, but life grabbed me, pulled me into a dark alley and beat the crap out of me. Didn't even get to spellcheck, so I apolgize if there are too many typos or preposition mistakes. I don't even know whether the story's any good. You tell me.

Round 1, Match 4(?), awayfarer vs. Berandor Make a wish It felt wonderful. In the mirror, Manfred saw how the high heels straightened his back and made him appear almost three inches taller. His feet looked delicate as they were pushed into the tight tip of his new stilettos. It felt so good...
