Yeah, popular opinion went against the Mystic class. :rolleyes:

Ouch, my debit card is hurting.

If I put players from a standard D&D fantasy world into a steampunk or technomagical world they get upset and the game dies quickly, especially when they are the players' precious epic level characters.

Even in my Dad's day there was a saying "You can tell the men from the boys by the price of their toys" and given I can see almost $3000 in diecast metal planes and probably more than that in roleplaying game books I know which side I'm on.

Dang, beat me to it.

I don't need POD copies of either as the originals are both on my book shelf.

They're releasing a $60 pair of books that will allow characters to play the range of options that now requires three $60 books and two $15 set of dice (when they are available). Much more economical.

Okay, I can see that now. It is just natural log is denoted ln (number of games) or ln(game rank) in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology which is what confused me.

Math errors I don't know what those numbers are supposed to be. On the X-axis Antilog 2 = 10^2 =100 and there are not quite 100 game systems or let alone Antilog 3 = 10^3 = 1000 game systems there. On the Y-axis Anti-log 14 = 10^14 = 10,000,000,000,000 or 10 trillion games played and since...

Not only is it the first die pool game, but members of this team would go on to create the Star Wars d6 game, and later to go onto other companies to make Shadowrun and then Vampire the Masquerade (which of course lead to WtA, MtA, WtO, and CtD and much, much later the nWoD/CoD).

And Forgotten Realms/Zakhara: The Akotan island chain to the west of Zakhara.

Apparently there is fantasy soccer (football to the rest of the world): https://fantasy.mlssoccer.com

A few nitpicks: 1) The characters are not balanced against each other. The number of skill and temper (Composure, Willpower, and Humanity) dots seem to have been done at random. 2) The Health levels of the playtest characters don't follow the rules, all but one have too few health levels...

I don't know if anyone has pointed this out, but even though the Revised System Reference Document (3.5) and the Modern System Reference Document pages are still on Wizards.com, all of the download links are dead. You will have to use the Wayback Machine to get them. I'm not sure if they'll...

Hopefully, if they keep the s/w/m system they will fix tables G14: Acid Damage, G15: Electrical Damage, and G16: Fire Damage. I call these the tables where they got tired of the s/w/m system and just kept adding dice. And G15 and G16 had too few tiers for damage. It created problems with...

The task resolution system was pulled whole cloth from Ars Magica. Go find a copy of the third edition and read the Berserk Virtue on page 76 ("While Berserk you gain a +2 bonus on Damage, Soak, and Fatigue Scores while suffering a -2 penalty on Defense"). The attributes went from -4 to +4 (so...

Can't read the World of Darkness numbers because they overlap with the AD&D numbers.

I have a 4th edition white box with a 6th edition Men & Magic and an Eldritch Wizardry.

Rocking the Twilight Imperium pieces.

The red indented quotes really take away from my ability to read this article.
