I played a bit in Dark Sun back in the 2e days, and more recently as a one-shot at a convention, so my familiarity is not super high. From what I've heard though, from a world building/game running standpoint (putting the rules aside) 4e's treatment of it is well thought of and mitigates the...

It's quite likely that if I were to look at all the hours of D&D I've played, the majority of those hours would be with 2e. When I joined a D&D group (I had been playing RPGs for a few years already, but not D&D) we were playing 1e, but soon elements from 2e were being introduced into our games...

I will have to live vicariously through you. :D Looking forward (or backwards with a PSR) to your report.

Hmm, guess what is meant by simplifications. If it's about making the game less granular, that I'm personally not that interested in. There are other games out there that already do that. (Alpha Strike included, which I don't play as if I go BattleTech I want BattleTech, if I want something...

Giving these a read, not sure I'm keen on including Mech's with just 0 MP due to damage as Immobile (just because they can't move fast enough to really leave a hex doesn't to me mean they aren't still moving about within the hex or even a bit in place). The rest though it seems like their...

"We're gonna need a bigger boat..." :D

Another old timer who had to put 20. :) Hope our answers lead to some interesting findings!

Oh yeah, that's another biggie. The surprises that come up in game, the cool stories and moments that could only happen in collaboration and in a group, and the times where I surprise even myself! (Including the moments where I so get into character that they do things I don't plan or...

All of the above. :) I love deep RP, crafting characters, their stories, solving challenges, experiencing other worlds, playing through other experiences, going where I might not be able to go in my everyday world. I love the tactical aspects of games, the puzzles, the "love it when a plan...

I've had my eye on Mythic Space for a while, which lists XCOM as an influence for rich, tactical combat along with RPG elements. Another option might be to instead start with a more pure tactical game and "add in" the RPG elements. I've never played Advanced Squad Leader, but from what I...

As with all tactical games, focus fire continues to be an important tactic. And likewise maneuvering to prevent focus fire from your enemies while maximizing your own... :) Unless playing the Clans following zellbrigen in an RP-adhering game or campaign.

-shrug- I feel it better separated out and consolidated as a package. And it's not like each profession (or whatever) couldn't have their own features to aid in various pillars, be it exploration, investigation, diplomacy, and the like. If Backgrounds were more like 5e14, providing unique and...

Funny, I was just thinking about the Alacorn. :D I also have a soft spot for the Ontos (if perhaps only because of the battle history from TR3026, with the opposing force unexpected running into 144 lasers fired at once...) At a convention in January this year got to try out the new...

Feywilds portal appearance causes confusion.

I for one am glad that the indecent parts of those foreground skeletons are hidden by those super effective chain mail skirts! Wouldn't want the knight to get distracted by those sensual areas... ;) :D

To which I would again say "the ranger ought not to be a class." I would much prefer exploration/travel/tracking/etc expert to be open to any class, not pigeonholed to a specific class. Why can't your band of merry men, featuring a cleric, warrior, and say a druid (the very class of nature...

Ah, good ol' Schreks. Tracked Awesomes. :D

W. O. W. Dang. That was one heck of a conga of unfortunateness... (one missile too, that's just rubbing it in...)

D!oh And ouch. Well, at least that's only the first sortie of the day... Aiya! :| The dice gods, they can be unkind sometimes... (or kind, if you're the opposing player). With shots like that, the side table changes don't make much of a difference do they? :P

Wow, that is a prompt and a half! That it could parse it overall is wild. Even if it missed some bits, seems like a bit of inpainting with more specific prompting for just that region would get it to where you want to be. Again, wild.
