Yeah, it's making me think of Sage + Blood, Arcana + Blood, Midnight + Blood or even Blood + Splendor combos.

And fits Daggerheart better than it ever did 5e. I really like the Daggerheart improved version of Grim Psychometry being a core ability.

Two famous Jacke Chan films. The 1978 Drunken Master was his breakout film. Low budget, good storytelling, and a classic with movements but no actual intoxication. The 1994 film Drunken Master II/The Legend Of Drunken Master had Jackie's character powering up when drunk but not too drunk. Both...

WoW and modern D&D are, without a shadow of a doubt, both fantasy even if they aren't Sword & Sorcery. (And druids can heal).

I consider actual Lovecraft and CoC the RPG to be separate things here. Lovecraft was pulp - and you could knock out Lovecraft's Cthulhu with a fishing boat. Chaosium CoC (which ironically is the pop culture one) isn't.

Daggerheart has a very pulp feel especially at tiers 1-2. At present there are too few non-magical character choices for me to think it's there for "standard pulp" and all the official gear is fantasy but it's only a few pages of a supplement away from doing a good Indiana Jones set in the 1930s

Mischievous little dudes? You're basically spoiled for choice. No gnomes in the core book alas (there are some under playtest so they aren't forgotten) but in addition to halflings and goblins there are fey (flying insectile), fauns (with a leap), ribbets (frog folk with long tongues for...

Interesting because other than the Realms (and I much prefer Eberron) I find 4e works best for most of those. First re simulationist mechanics I find hit points drown everything else. They are a mechanic commonly interacted with (as in multiple times every fight) that ensure that there is no...

And mine is that regardless of the "storytelling game of personal horror" tagline Vampire has a ton of combat mechanics. (I think more than AD&D had) and entire Disciplines that were basically for combat. And that like Vampire AD&D has social mechanics, mindreading mechanics, and mechanics that...

Meanwhile I'm in camp c. I'll take warblades, binders and beguilers or 2e fighters or AD&D wizards over 3.X fighters and wizards (or pre-4e clerics)

A strange game. The only move to keep all your friends is not to play.

A lot depends on whether you can tell players to manage their own stuff.

[Citation needed] - not that I can't believe it but where is the aggregate? You're implying Vampire wasn't superheroes-with-fangs there.

Assuming by "that" you mean getting worse rather than changing then 4e. At launch the PHB was at least six months from being ready and adding books didn't add too much power creep because there was structure. 4e also has the distinction of outlasting the edition intended to replace it in the...

I just had a thought. I fundamentally do not see the point of the Psion we have been presented - a pretty generic caster trying to force itself between the sorcerer and wizard. But my first main RPG was GURPS and GURPS psionics is as different from GURPS magic as D&D magic is from Stars Without...

As mentioned on the other thread 60 is a three hour game every other week

60+ is only 20 three hour sessions or 15 4 hour sessions. That's about one evening a week 1/fortnight. I haven't played any 5e since about July but made it over 60 before that

No. You are just missing the point. Yes WRFP 4e has multiclassing rules. So does D&D 5e. By changing to "All careers have four levels and the only active suggestion is to progress in your career" WFRP has put careers on a level with 5e classes - and players who have been playing since 2e will...

And D&D 3.0 worked if you played it as if it was 2e. You are continuing to play 4e as if it was 2e which works better - but the scaffolding and signposts have been removed. So if you have a guide who's been playing since the 2e era you'll find that path but new players very rarely will. Because...

It's not "an option" for progression. It is the default for progression that changed. Pre-4e WFRP used a careers based system in which every character makes routine and regular choices as they level up, deciding how they will grow. Meanwhile WFRP 4e is a class based system in which your classes...
