[QUOTE="Mordax_sighs, post: 184192, member: 4518"] I like this style of game, but I think D&D isn't good for it. - Characters level too quickly. The one "commoners" game I played in was great. We played 25 pt GURPS Fantasy characters - teenagers from a village that got wiped out by orcs. Well, those of us who enjoyed it (about three out of six), loved the game...right up until we started learning spells, and getting real weapons (hit 50 pts). That just killed the feel. In D&D, you usually hit 2nd level after the first session, and 3rd after one or two more, and you're out of that "Joe Average" sweet spot. - Low level combat is excessively deadly in D&D. For some genres, this is okay. I don't mind losing characters left and right in a Mythos game (D&D Conan is gonna rule, when I get around to it. :) ). However, in a heroic game, this is bad. (Another place where GURPS or Hero would do a better job.) [/QUOTE]
