If you follow WotC/TSR adventures style, then your character will shortly have too much money to worry about the cost of an inn. In my adventures, there isn't much money around. Most inns are just a hall with a fire for a few coppers. Real bedrooms go for a few silver coins. There isn't much...

You're probably referring to Caçadores, which is the Portuguese word for Hunters. I don't know anything about the military unit, but the title appears to be appropriated to the description you gave.

Mine is a gritty dark fantasy game with lots of fencing and blackpowder weapons. I also rule out most of the humanoids, as the game is focused in humans.

You're underestimating by far the volume of sales in the 80s. Usually, companies do not post the number of units sold as it is considered a business secret. However, I suggest you to give a look in Marc Miller's series of reprints of Traveller. He states sales in the order of a few hundreds of...

By major I believe you mean systems used in several games that were best sellers along time but not necessarily today. As such, I think it would go something like: d20 (D&D) Storyteller (Vampire, Werewolf, etc.) Palladium (Rifts, Palladium Fantasy RPG) BRP (Call of Cthulhu, Stormbringer...

I started playing with the old basic box but I quickly moved to AD&D. We messed with rounds segments. In the way we interpreted, spells would take several rounds, not segments, to be casted. As such, a magic-user would have to concentrate for three rounds before he could cast a fireball. It is...

Your pool is quite confusing as it refers to two questions at once. Concerning settings. I don't run adventures in other settings than my own. Still, from time to time, I like to read other settings to see what's going on. In general, I'm more found of independent settings. It is disgusting how...

Easy question. I've never brought a mini, although I had received a few of them as gifts. None from the current WotC line though.

Simplicity! Stat blocks were very short; I could create an NPC in less than 2 minutes; I could create a high level NPC in less than 2 minutes; Adventures and settings were less focused in the rules (crunch); and Players were less focused in rules. Additionally: Greyhawk was really the...

And that is very exciting. WHFRP was superior than his direct competitor, AD&D 1st edition, in many ways. I hope that Green Ronin will improve WHFRP to be a worthy competitor to D&D 3.5.

Traveller is a great game and it is available in several systems. The original system was developed in three different editions: Traveller (aka, Classic Traveller), MegaTraveller, and Marc Miller's Traveller. All of them skill based (no classes) and with the original Life Path character...

Shining South is the best of the pack and I almost liked Frostburn. I disliked all others.

Me too, I found it very nostalgic. :cool:

Personally, I avoid d20 games other than D&D or its look alike, such as Conan, because I liked to experiment game systems. Furthermore, I had an awful experience playing firearms with d20 rules. I don't think it captures the feeling as well as most of other games. As such, I keep d20 exclusively...

Actually I think I've played more non-d20 games than anything else. First of all, I am not very found of any d20, except D&D. Second, I love to try different rules. I believe that D&D is the one game I played most, but it was not the majority of my gaming time. GURPS and DC Heroes certainly came...

It appears that I will very pleased with your version of my favorite class. :cool:

You're welcome. Perhaps I'm too lazy to find exactly how to join the playtest. Would you care to give some instructions? As part of my job, I spend a reasonable amount of the time in the wilds. Perhaps because of this, the ranger is my favorite class. The core concept of the ranger class is...

Wouldn't be easier to use the old Rolemaster system, where races assign modifiers to the bonus, instead of to the abilities? As such, if I assign a 13 to dexterity and choose an elf, I would have an ability modifier of +1 plus another +1 of being an elf, for a total of +2. Not the traditional...

I played once a game that, in the Grand Finale, the party faced impossible odds. One of the characters was a cleric of Odin. He sacrificed one of his eyes to gain some advantage in the final battle -- very cool moment :cool: . He, and most of the party, died in the final adventure. The two...

If it is anything close to a D&D Rules Cyclopedia with the updated SRD rules, I'll probably like it. :D
