Instances where the power structure in the 4E core books could make sense in game world terms to me: - The characters are robots (or clones, or pre-human experiments etc) with specific combat moves programmed into them. Their memories reboot after an encounter partially, whereas some more...

Monopoly also isn't a role playing game. For some people, the pleasure there is in playing a role playing game relies on one's ability to immerse him/herself in the game world through his or her character. These people will want to use rules that makes sense to them in the context of the game...

These reinforce the narrative-story rationale behind Daily and Encounter powers to me, because if what you are saying is true, then me, player, choosing to use a particular Daily power doesn't mean that I'm playing my character doing something in the game-world, but ALSO means that as a player...

(I visibly have a hard time stopping *sigh*) I do acknowledge your point then: yes, there is an explanation, and yes, you may find IH's explanations of token pools (which actually depend on the actual pool being considered, for the record) lame. Sure. You can. That logic rubs me the wrong way...

Totally. :lol:

Sure. A crappy explanation that does not make any sense to me, but hey. Still. ;) Nope. You can still move the same, you are not fatigued at all, you can still use any other Daily, even if more powerful, or Encounter power, but for some reason, the ONLY specific side effect is that this only...

So you can still move the same way, not be fatigued or have any other side effects take place once you've used an Encounter or Daily Exploit, use as many At-Wills as you want, etc, but somehow, there is a mental and physical barrier that takes effect and prevents you from performing this...

If you like light, interpretive game systems, kinda comparable to Mythus Prime, if you know it, then yes, it is extremely cool. Amazon might still have the base books for sale through various sellers on the marketplace. Check it out (I just did, as a matter of fact they do - see following...

Not to me. In one case for instance you have an Armiger taking on the charge of his opponent and using the strength of the incoming attacks to build up his own response, which is an in-world explanation of the way you accumulate tokens to then spend on Armiger class abilities in combat, whereas...

I'm just jumping on your thread with a rant on my own that isn't targeted at AEG, but rather at publishers who are creating fancy looking hardbacks with glossy paper and the whole shebang without giving any thought as to the physical durability of the product, and most noticeably its binding...

I absolutely hate this. RPG books that are made to be pretty but that have a binding that just can't hold six months without cracking or falling apart. RPG books are meant to be used, not just manipulated carefully while sitting on a couch, people! If you write your RPG book to be read or be...

Yeah. That thing is an insult to everything that's good about food. Take that from a French guy who ate more than his share of heart attacks on a plate, by the way.

I need to get a hold of those at some point. Thanks for listing them for us. :)

Usually not, because I keep my houserules, modifications and notes in their own dedicated notebooks, and official errata are usually nitpicky BS to me. When I got a problem while running the game, I make a ruling on the spot. If the ruling comes back regularly, I make it an actual written...

ROUGE refers to either any of various red cosmetics used when coloring cheeks or lips, a reddish powder used for polishing metal, or the French word for "red". ROGUE is the word you were actually looking for, I think. :) EDIT - LOL Ninja'd!

I really like the vintage looking character sheets (zip file) from the GenCon Delve event this year: Is there a blank sheet available somewhere, or someone who made a blank sheet out of those, perhaps? That'd be really cool.

Just limiting my list to D&D and d20: Greyhawk Blackmoor Forgotten Realms Dragonlance Mystara Dark Sun Birthright Ravenloft Spelljammer Eberron Ghostwalk Urban Arcana The Diamond Throne (Arcana Unearthed/Evolved) Praemal (Ptolus) Star Wars I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting some, but that'll do...

Peck. :D

I put this list together for myself, based on the WotC catalog and Amazon, mainly: D&D Roleplaying Game Dice Set - 08/17/10 Dungeons & Dragons Fantasy Roleplaying Game (Starter) 09/07/10 Player Essentials: Heroes of the Fallen Lands - 09/21/10 Dungeon Tiles Master Set: The Dungeon - 09/21/10...

Ah well. See now Tony, I feel like really I must be completely failing at explaining my points, because your entire post reads to me like you either completely misunderstand what I'm saying, or willfully miscontrue them to suit whatever argument you want to have (like for example this weird...
