To be fair, aren't you the guy who posts to ENWorld while intoxicated? You know, if you're blacking out while doing that, you might have a problem... :)

Huh... Wonder why the other thread was locked... Very curious...

Not sure about the Kickstarter part, but there was a Genisys RPG previewed here on ENWorld recently that used cards (and had a very similar wound mechanic).

Janx: while yes, subtle differences may mask the fact that you find yourself in an alternate universe, my hypothetical in the first post dealt with the situation where you know it is an alternate universe - a much more interesting proposition. I just thought of the old series Sliders - the crew...

ahem... I will refrain from prosthelytizing too much :) In short, combat and intrigue work in a very similar way - you have both a Health and a Composure total. Lose all your Health, you are defeated in combat (not necessarily death). Lose all your Composure, you are defeated in intrigue...

Chronicle System by Green Ronin, as currently implemented by ASoIaF RPG (generic supplements on the horizon) Big draws: - an intrigue/social resolution system that offers a back-and-forth as interesting as combat - a combat system that puts injuries and wounds under a player's control (so...

Sorry to go way back to this post, and perhaps you have clarified your words in a later one, but the issue here isn't one of my players thinking I'm crappy, but of *you* calling me crappy because I apparently "passive aggressively punish my players for not playing a balanced party" (Perhaps not...

I let the chips fall where they may. Usually after telling them, "All rogues? Interesting. Let's see where them chips fall..."

I watch Disney Junior and Treehouse TV with my two and a half year old twins. I wonder if my players would blanch at the discovery of how many simple quests are thinly vieled redressed of plots from animated kids shows (Backyardigans, Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Octonauts, and Mike the...

That's very possible. I have a passing familiarity with the earlier Doctors, but could not tell you a thing about their companions. Of the newest ones, I like Rose the best.

Dread.

But if he flashes psychic paper, we may think his Geek Card still valid!

I've not seen enough of older Dr Who to do a complete ranking, but of the most recent Doctors, the Tenth is my favorite, followed by the Eleventh, and then the Ninth.

While an unfortunate situation - truly, right up their with socially awkward gamer explaining the exploits of his fighter-wizard-cleric-paladin-assassin who was allowed to break alignment restrictions because... blah blah blah... ... *anyways* it is not the fault of Monty Python for such, but...

So... You're saying it's time for something completely different?

And the system is FATAL.

I'm not completely sure, but I believe the rights to the Silmarillion have not, and likely will not, been sold outside the Tolkien Estate. They're able to stretch The Hobbit story by the LotR Appendices (rights to which were sold with those books).

Not me. Stupid idiot kept taking half the water from my glass.

Happens frequently by folks who have deals with publishing houses and thus, very likely, lawyers on retainer who vet stuff. Disclaimer - thought pulled entirely from nether regions not called the Shadowfell...

To be fair, while you may think your assumption of the plot for #3 is short... there's nothing wrong with short. Not everything needs to be a three-four hour epic.
