[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 5874158, member: 92305"] I've heard it's got many of the features I like, but that it's done in a persnickety, time-consuming way. I want mechanics that flow, are easy to use, and are fun. I don't want to ponder options in a combat encounter that moves at a snails pace. And, I don't want my players focussed on stats and dice. I want them living the action, visualizing it, hearing their heartbeat in their ears, tasting the sweat and having it sting their eyes. That's why I got rid of the Active Defense roll and went back to a static AC--to get my players' minds off of dice throws and onto the drama and experience of the combat. I haven't played, or really read, RoS. But, from what I've heard, combat is detailed---but a price is paid for that detail. So far, the Conan RPG comes closest to what I want, from what I've seen (and I haven't seen RoS). Has that been your experience with RoS? [/QUOTE]
