    Rolemaster?

    thinking about it, RM was released at the time of 1st ed AD&D. your magic user had only 1 spell a day then!! but yeah, elemental casters in RM dont start with much offence in Spell Law I guess a first level essence user could cast vibrations, sleep v, as offence. BUT the elementalsit in...

    Rolemaster?

    true to apoint play with only the PHB of either 3.5/4.0...and dnd is very limited too....add in splat books for both games....and you open up world of options...including 1st level offensive spells.

    Rolemaster?

    Joe you are correct about black reapers think you hit the nail on the head with the early shadow world modules (vog/cloudlords/iron wind)....you read them and think "this is all very nice but i was hoping the start the party off at 1st level not 15th!!" some of the more 'modern modules' (ie...

    What makes a setting dull?

    Agree, after about 9th D&D in all its incarnations started to loose appeal. Eberron was supposed to be lower level, but with some much big stuff going on, it never felt it. only vaguley dipped into FR, via Living 4th ed, and it didnt grab me at all. DL/ME are intersting reads, but yeah...

    Dammnation

    actually worshipping evil gods, must get you something in this mortal life or i dont think folk would be drawn to them so much. In your hour of need these naughty deities, or there servants, will heed your call and 'help' you out......the payback is always much 'bigger' than the boon they grant...

    Rolemaster?

    think one of the problems of getting into it now would be which edition? i grew up playing what i think is second edition (1980's versions) that work with companion 1 to 6, so thats what we have been buying up on ebay. even with a group new to it there is little flicking through books...

    I'm DM'ing a Player Who Just Announced his Bard is a Kleptomaniac Pickpocket. Crap.

    well it rings true / inherent for 4th ed. The default campaign is that you are heroes and do good deeds. The PHB and DMG is full of this ....and i did say " id say" so dont need to requote plus wondering off OP now as well!

    I'm DM'ing a Player Who Just Announced his Bard is a Kleptomaniac Pickpocket. Crap.

    Id say "Ok, thats a great character concept, and would be brilliant in a different game system or campaign, where you can use this flaw. Savage worlds for example. As it is where playing D&D where the party are heroes and dont have such flaws manifest. More importnatly this is a team game. we...

    For Those Who Love, Hate, or Love & Hate 4E: What Did 4E Do Right?

    Things I like about 4th ed -THE DMG. this book is an excellent up to date read on what our hobby is about. Even non 4ers should get something from it. -The idea, if not the execution of a skill challenge. It should be more like duty and Honour 'missions' -as many have said, monsters are...
