[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 3683016, member: 4275"] Again, I'm not getting rid of any of that. In fact, contacts are a much bigger part of these rules than d20 Modern. What I'm getting rid of, is rolling dice to make a Knowledge check. You still have knowledge skills, and either you know things or you don't, and if you don't, you have a research time that will tell you how long it will take for you to find out. I am not getting rid of a single option from the old rules. My attempt to reduce die-rolls is not an attempt to reduce player choice, character types, granularity, etc. Edit: Unless you're saying that, unless dice hit the table pre-adventure, you haven't contributed. I watch Alias. And what I want is MORE like that not less. I am not talking about getting rid of intel, player prep, craft skills, etc. I just want to decrease the amount of randomness and dice rolling involved in this aspect of the game. I say "I want less dice rolling in adventure prep". People say "I like adventure prep!" Like without dice rolling, it can't exist. The change I'm advocating is akin to doing point-buy character generation, rather than random stat-rolls. [/QUOTE]
