Please note the context. It is a response to question askin why I believe that Special Effects systems, which do not use hit points, do not work. I am not saying that such a chart cannot be used -- I am saying that such a chart is unwieldy to use without a hit point component. I am arguing...

Yes...and sorry I haven't started yet. One thing I have become aware of: The final book should include equipment packs for fast equipping! RC

DC 10. The other text should have been fixed, and will be in the future.

Yes.

Exactly. Free space is provided by many a community rec centre, YMCA, YWCA, and university/college campus. Of course, then you also get whatever inconvenience comes from those spaces.....but, hey!...dems da breaks! RC

Well, I'm not sure that there's sufficient evidence to determine that you're not going crazy..... Though, of course, everyone in Toronto does know each other! :lol: RC

That goes both ways, though. Because stores X, Y, and Z are trying to make a slim margin by effectively giving things away, it doesn't follow that those stores will remain in business. Shopping at Whalemart might seem cheaper in the short term, but the longterm cost might actually be far...

Look at it this way. I discovered Duelling Grounds here in Toronto because it was the only store close to me that was participating in Free RPG Day....or, at least, that was listed on the Free RPG Day website. So, I picked up my DCC RPG Adventure Starter for free. They didn't require that I...

Probably not well enough! :lol: The flippant side of me wants to say "decades of experience". As I said in the bit you quoted, "all special effect system falls down under its own weight". For genre simulation, it is desireable that Conan not be evicerated by just any successful...

.....but don't come here, looking for my sympathy, if the stores in your area then close. RC

The way I understand it is that Kzach is, essentially, asking "Is it fair for the store to charge?". This following a thread where Kzach essentially asked, "Is it fair for me to use the store's resources without contributing to the store?". My answer is, in short, "Yes, it is fair for the...

But hold hard, friend. What if it is neither drastic, nor an overstatement, to the speaker? What if that is not hyperbolic -- I, for one, see little reason to believe that it is so. The speaker does not come across as angry, or ranting (to me), and provides an example of exactly what he...

You play at home, you pay rent or taxes to use the space there, too. You just don't think of it that way. Since you wanted to support the store, though, and you were asking for viable suggestions, this seems more like "problem solved" than "new problem", to me. RC

This is a time when I agree with Bullgrit. That's one of the signs! So either the end of the world, or 5e, is coming! RC

Fair enough. I obviously differ somewhat, as I have gone out of my way to expand upon that system to make it do more things.....but the core is certainly exactly what D&D has done since Day 1. Enjoy them! If you can find The Best of Robert E. Howard, Vols 1 & 2, the collected Solomon Kanes...

As I said, there's a function of the mechanic that allows the drop to be gained by opposed checks. Captain Kirk isn't always unaware of the villian who draws and aims his phaser. You are not necessarily unaware of the guy with his knife to your throat. Simply put, there are special...

Truer words have never been spoken.

You are also able to Get the Drop by an opposed roll, depending upon circumstances. So, when Captain Kirk draws his phaser on the Klingon Kang, he is able to (for example) gamble Intimidate vs. Kang's skill or save (probably Reflexes or Willpower in this example). If Kirk succeeds, Kang stops...

I'm not greatly familiar with Jordan, but I certainly feel a combat system can do Tolkien, Burroughs, and REH well!
