Eat your heart out, Fellow Gamers....

You needed to work with such large numbers to make the armor system work. 4/10's armor would make 100 points=zero. 10,000 points of damage = one point. It was all just a question of scale.

I have to admit I was always confused why people handled the MDC damage of RIFTS better than they handled Synnibar. Synnibar you add up the damage and move the decimal place by how many tenths of armor you had, then subtract from your hit point total. RIFTS you total it up, sutract and subtract, unless you didn't reduce the damage. I just saw the math in Synnibar as much easier. Even after 2 years the 8 players I had didn't get "it", but they were very good at using their calculators, especially the college graduates!

That is by far the best review I've ever read! Sounds like Synnibar the Movie might redeem the D&D Movie.

Anyone know how many printings it has had? Or how it managed to live beyond the first printing -- or for that matter, get printed in the first place?
 

I'm actually honestly jealous, I've been looking for this book for a time (at discount price of course...) for my collection and I too hold extreme garbage in as much esteem as exemplary work. :p

In fact mediocrity irritates me most.

I have nothing whatsoever to add on the topic of this thread. But my mind is utterly blown by the fact that after all the years this board has been in operation and the many thousands of users that have joined, nobody thought to name themselves "DungeonMaster" until a month ago.

The mind wobbles. :confused:

:p You laugh but I've got this name on several boards. It's amazing. I tried it for fun thinking it quite corny yet amusing and lo and behold it was free. On several boards.

*pop*

:p
