    Looking At Genesys From Fantasy Flight Games

    *Gasp* That would be fantastic, truly! I really love Eberron too, but the high octane pulp adventure style that it wanted to serve has not been a good fit for D&D. But with Fate, why not?

    Looking At Genesys From Fantasy Flight Games

    After having DMed and played D&D for about 18 years I'm looking now for less combat oriented system that also has a more open or maybe spontaneous feeling to it. Thought about getting Genesys but am now getting into Fate Core and Accelerated. Has somebody played both systems and could tell me...

    Fantasy Flight Games Announces Genesys RPG

    How... why... but... Okay, this is just insane. Come again, why do I not have to pay anything for this masterfully crafted piece of work? (Besides the fact of course, that if it would cost anything FFG would cease and desist you to Dagobah and back.)

    Fantasy Flight Games Announces Genesys RPG

    It sounds strange, isn't it? One would think that a system shouldn't structure (or constrain) the feeling of a RPG so much, but it does! I love the narrative dice system exactly because it diverges from traditional D&D and through its design opens up other paths of the RPG experience. (Well that...

    Fantasy Flight Games Announces Genesys RPG

    Yesterday I was rather tempted to take out the SW rules and adapt them to a fantasy setting, in order to play with a more casual gamer group. It took me some time to convince myself that I have to be patient and wait until later this year when the real deal Genesys comes out. I still have the...

    Have you tried Shadowrun: Anarchy by any chance?

    Fantasy Flight Games Announces Genesys RPG

    First: I'm full of joy about FFG's plans! Hopefully they have learned from WHF 3rd and EotE and put in some clarifications to the system. I tried EotE with my group and had quite a lot of fun, but we got exhausted quite quickly by rolling checks too often. Not beacuse of reading the dice. After...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls “…it’s now obvious how to live without Bonus Actions”' And 6th Edition When Players Ask

    The community (we are legion and one day we will have our revenge) accepts your apology. We hold the deep belief that what does not kill us makes us stronger. Therefore we re-appropriated the term. By the way, our official motto is "Killing D&D since 2008". I made some bumper stickers and...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls “…it’s now obvious how to live without Bonus Actions”' And 6th Edition When Players Ask

    The mob has spoken! Come brethren, we bring ruin and despair to the House of Mearls! Our judgement will be harsh, our reign eternal! We will rule by Saying Yes, our language will be game-istic, we will ride on the backs of dragonborn and disperse law through Holy Skill Challenges because that is...

    D&D 5E (2024) Mike Mearls “…it’s now obvious how to live without Bonus Actions”' And 6th Edition When Players Ask

    Listen to us, He Who Shall Not Be Named! We are now two, who ask you for a new edition. Hear our word, Lord of Backwards Nostalgia, and release your grip on D&D, which has cursed this finde game for far too long. Great Traitor of 4E, I banish you by the name of Heinsoo (blessed shall be...

    Age of Sigmar RPG Coming From Cubicle 7

    Yes! I longed for an AoS RPG and now they even gave Cubicle7 the license and not a shabby backyard studio! I am pleased. Oh, wait - you say there are no AoS fans around here? Well, here I am. I will choose superheroic glitter fantasy on LSD any time over this gloomy grim bad times pseudo...

    Star Wars gaming with D&D Gamma World (7E)

    Oh, Gamma World 4E, how do I love thee. I didn't think that it would go well with a Star Wars theme. Looking forward to read about your experiences! :)

    ZEITGEIST I underestimated Zeitgeist

    Oh, I feel you! I got myself the first part of the campaign and marveled at all the details and the great plot. It's one of the greatest campaigns I ever read. But I can't bring me or my group to play the first part let alone the whole campaign! I don't think that it was written for all kinds of...

    Combats and Ressources (again...) - How to condense Adventures

    Thanks for all of your advice! Right now I think I'll try to solve the issue with the Tweet Fix (wonder why it is called that). I will tell the party that the surroundings of Stonefang Pass are too dangerous (and too damp :) ...) to get an extended rest. I'll also fiddle with combat difficulty a...

    Combats and Ressources (again...) - How to condense Adventures

    Yes, the solution proposed by Tony Vargas and MwaO is totally fine. I get it that you can just reduce the adventure to one day with 5 encounters and balance is kept. Rearrange the story and everything is good. But there is just a thing that keeps me thinking. I would like to keep the scope of...

    Combats and Ressources (again...) - How to condense Adventures

    Yes, that's good advice to make resting not so easily available. About XP: We don't play with them. The party levels up at an appropriate time, e.g. if they solve a big quest, or roughly after about 5 combat encounters.

    Combats and Ressources (again...) - How to condense Adventures

    Okay, started to write a reply for about four times now because I'm not quite sure whether my question really is something complicated or just extremely trivial and I shouldn't bother about it. I'll try to explain anyway. My group doesn't meet very often (roughly 3 times in 2 months) and also...

    Combats and Ressources (again...) - How to condense Adventures

    Hello all you nice people of Enworld, I know, there have been some discussions about how to change different parameters of combat in 4E to accomplish different things (like having more smaller fights withot braking the balance). But here is a question that I somehow didn't really find an answer...
