[QUOTE="Autumnal, post: 9189629, member: 6671663"] I really wish Cortex worked better for me. My brain keeps turning off somewhere in the process of creating and applying dice pools. It’s not like they’re complex, I just have the kind of trouble that others do with Fate. I should give this a look, though, since sometimes things percolate through after repeated watering.

Vintage BRP stuff is fun for me, and the author of the most recent Magic World is a good friend. Im certainly not going to argue against them at as a valid generalization, but it’s not true at all[I] in my particular experience[/I]. The furthest I ever got from 1st level is 4th, and the only times I ever got to double-digit levels were starting from 3rd or 5th. D&D as I have been able to play it is a game of zeroes [I]or[/I] heroes, and I’m interested in more hero-type experience.
