thus far ..like everyone else, the paladin. they were just 'ugly' in 3.5 now they have a 1st ed feel to them, ie , id wanna play one think dwarf is my fav race.

yep, signed up not going play for first time until October though, i dont think

its not as dangerous as people often state, but as your luck runs out as the number of sessions pass, it does become so as you run out of fate points. You character wont be killed by the first blow that hits him because of FP's, unlike say D&D and RM where you might

I too own it, but havent got to play yet I have heard nothing but good stuff about it here in the Uk and hope to play it at a Con soon

so i was right on all 3 counts then? and your added bits just added to my 'combat isnt that simple point' from earlier. and not sure why you compare it to computer games either TBH. john

havent played any D&D in our weekly group for about 6 months (lots other stuff to do) vague discussion on pathfinder, i think 2 or 3 are keen, so will see how that develops

yeah Vag...everthing seems so sterile in character creation in 4e using defaults. roll 18d6 and put groups of 3 in whatever stats you wish, i say.

being so simple to roll up characters seemed to have character nowadays its difficult not to get heavily influenced by the mechanic and, as no one dies in 4th edition, planning out your characters systemic development up to level 10 and beyond is hard to shake off. go to any con and people...

not quite that simple chances to hit are quite low (and i think you can start with 2 attacks per round), plus the defender gets various defence rolls (dodge or parry or both) so combat can drag. and damage is compared to toughness Plus it has a fate point system as well

back to the OP I played 4e , for about 6 months i think, hoping it would be 'quicker/easier' than 3.5 which got a bit bogged down above level 7 or so. Unfortunately it is really quite complictaed to have a combat in, and given the fights take 6 rounds+, does bcome dry and dull, as its...

couples can sometimes put me off......its ok if they dont sit next to each other, but a few ive known dont do that smoking at the table...... having a 5 minute fag break is often good, and it gives everyone a quick break. someone when given the game parameters (you are a team/group etc....)...

did have a rawness lost in todays polish and balance as all paladins for example where basically the same it was the character that was most important, rather than the build. N1, I6, L1 and L2..being some of my fav mods. I too like gygax use of language....milleu just being a fab word, he...

give v3.5 monsters lots of spikey, knobbly armour. nose rings and such. make them all quite squat with big bellies and change their names to use the letter z alot and your done! not sure 3.5 is a good system to use for a warhammer conversion really.D&D is for heroes. may work with savage...

daring Tales of Adventure does pulp very welll......its adds a few things to the SW rule sets to make the PC more potent and fit in with the 1930 pulp feel. such as everyone gtes an extra benny for each combat, some wounds heal automatically after combat, PC capture/surrender is a good option...

a campaign is a game of longish term committment on reading your post if after 6 months youd think it was gonna get pigeonholey and repettive then dont play 4th ed....(it sounds like thats what your doing) as thats all about a specific role. (striker, defender etc) maybe not even anykind of...

1) and 3) well answered above by others under 2), assuming you have a classed based system,is it important that the classes all need the same mechanics/system/rules? for example, and plz dont degrade to an edition war, in 4th the classes have quite similar mechanics...a spell power looks...

also an issue of how xp works in D&D if i can kill 10 lots of orc guard dead easy with the floaty barrel of invisble alchemy...then i will and earn 200xp a time in other games, rolemaster for example, there is a law of diminshing returns xp wise. If u do the same thing over and over you...

ive always gone with " you need something to represent the damage your taking" so just go with it with the odd bit of lyrical flourish or use a game that has descriptive /critical / hit locations wounds so you know where you have been hit, realise your weapon arms muscles have been slashed...

i have come back to RM after a ten year gap. our groups played a lot of 3.5 in last 5 years, but high level in that gets way hard work after 7th or so & i never thought my characters had enough skills they could use. we tried 4th ed for about 3 months, but w/o getting banned from the boards...
