Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 3414529" data-attributes="member: 63">I find the term 'ego-boosting' mildly insulting. It makes fun seem so . . . psychiatric.I play D&D to do big cool things, and if I had the skill I would like to do similarly cool things in the rest of my life, because cool is better than normal. Sure, lay-up shots are fine in basketball, but slam dunks and blind passes are cooler.The thing is, in D&D there is a barrier to coolness. It's not that I want snappy, trigger-finger gameplay. I just want a game where the rules easily support doing things that are more fun to imagine. D&D wants you to hack away at hit points. I'm looking for a game that wants you to chew the scenery. I don't mind rolling four or five dice a round to accomplish a bad-ass maneuver. Grab - roll.Kill - roll.Impale medusa - roll.Whirlwind attack - roll.But in D&D it's:Grab - touch attack, opposed grapple check.Kill - opposed grapple check, probably several times because you've got to go through a lot of HP. And you have to roll damage each time.Impale medusa - roll, with a penalty because there is a horde of undead between you and the medusa, and because you're not proficient with 'horn.' Roll damage.Whirlwind attack - roll, with a penalty because you're not proficient with 'corpse.' Roll damage.I need to get a copy of MnM 2nd edition. 1st edition ain't bad, so I figure 2nd edition will be better. Anyone have that link to the PL 10 Kratos?</blockquote>
