That's the only thing I don't like about SRPG [Well, healing was confusing, and the book was hard to reference quickly during a game.] Fun, intuitive system. Earning 'plot points' for playing your PC's complications is pure role-playing gold!The problem is that D&D4 is getting all the buzz! SRPG is SO last season, at least in my gaming group. I was driving around a week ago, lamenting the fact that, as a DM, I don't have an 'Alliance' to keep my characters in line in a D&D game the way I do in SRPG. Don't want the PC's to loot the high-powered ammo I gave an NPC? Just declare it 'illegal' and if they get caught using it, the Feds show up and arrest them all.Then I thought 'What's stopping me?' But, instead of reinventing the wheel, just migrate over everything from the Firefly story that makes it compelling: the exodus, the war, and all the opportunities for 'crime' the oppressive government provides for the PC's. I don't grok Spelljammer, so my DragonFly is gonna stay planet-bound. It doesn't have to be played in space! It's the story that matters. Joss Whedon:"...I wanted to play with that classic notion of the frontier: not the people who made history, but the people history stepped on -- the people for whom every act is the creation of civilization. Then again, there's also [sword]fights and action." So, that's what.Anyway, what's a good D&D amalgam for Niska? A dragon? A lich?</blockquote>
