Rand has nothing to do with it. This on the other hand

I'm guessing most of us are looking for a best fit round the table. So all DM or all player isn't really relevant. It's these players seeming refusal to look for a best fit that's the bluebottle in the gameplay ointment?

Profound, how? The writings and the history show her as a self-obsessed pseudo-philosopher who wrote her disjointed ramblings while spaced-out on massive doses of amphetamines.

Remove all risk to PCs - dull :-S Not trust you to give a well-played PC a break if it hangs well - trust deficit :eek: Need I go on; I'd run out of different :)s. Can we have more :)s in here?

clerics, thieves, rangers, barbarian types and magic-users come up most of late monks, bards and paladins play second fiddle - especially the bards

Problem-solved; bumped in the end of old Charlton Heston cannibal movie Soylent Green yesterday. You get to use every part of the body and it's all in a good cause. In the real world, this summer saw the Parallax Corporation start to sell a green wafer biscuit, said to contain plankton, under...

in your dreams :devil:

Each to their own; but there's maybe a trade-off with more. Not so much minor extra glances at the odd table or any noticeable extra hurdle for beginners. More in that those combine with pausing to work out which saving throw applies where and when if a save doesn't fit neatly into a particular...

Pretty much so. Libet showed that our brains take decisions before we're consciously aware of doing so - making much of our experience a video playback. Worse still, the video gets filtered, so what we've actually decided to do and what we recall of it don't match - at all . . . it gets so much...

Had an absolute ball with a Halloween jellies and the like novelty game l;ast week. Running in all directions along the lines of the Keystone Cops with players skillfully delaying the inevitable. It was pretty much Scooby Doo, but could as easily have been done as Rorke's Drift. There's much fun...

First handy 10,000gp never goes to waste on a made-up war elephant. Armoured howdah to camp in, cross most rivers unaided and plenty of drums for signalling. :cool:

BBC's Merlin series has some soundtrack CDs. Found them at Amazon for the kid - who demands all things Merlin-y.

100% happy nedjer on the OGL front, as I've just had confirmation on compatibility and other stuff for the soon to arrive Tainted :) The game will be fully legal and able to identify with one of the top Original Game systems. My take from this is: when it comes to OGC, ask and you may well a)...

Mmm . . . I could work with that . . . good opportunities to try-out an Undertakers sub-class - and PCs with an interest in buying property next to graveyards would be made-up :)

In a strange parallel with the real world - stick them in front of Facebook and you're done

I've two offerings that might appeal. Optionally visual RPG Treasure is Creative Commons, free, 2d6 rules medium to light, PDF or html - and a bit brutal. It's at the third of four stages. There are more artwork examples to go in, but the system and presentation have been good to go for a while...

Players could consider running away more often.

Tainted offers classic RPG gameplay. The game is not designed to be a doom-laden or blood-drenched horror RPG. Instead, our 'twist of evil' is all about high stakes, suspense, misfortune, changes of pace, gritty encounters and tough challenges. OGL Tainted uses OGL/ SRD content and...

Reverse dungeons always struck me as a fun way to get different angles on this particular debate.

two full cartridges and ran-off. Just fill my spare nerf. OK So, the Original Game and the Scroll of Wonder are both excellent. In fairness to others, they mainly represent a specific period or have some in-house mechanics spin to offer. I have a new entry to add to the list that's very near...
