Edition Wars: The Game

Given all this, I just need to create a metasystem so we can have a 3.5e party challenge an equal level 4e party. Maybe that will settle it once and for all.

 

[hexgrid]

To make it work mechanically, all you'd really need to do is convert the 3e saves to defenses and the 4e defenses to saves.

The cool part is that this Edition Wars game would need multiple modules, one for 4, one for 3.5, one for 3, one for 2 ...

Because, honestly, the complaints coming out now are the same as when 3.0 came out and everyone was talking about a "Magic The Gathering" version of D&D.

 

[CleverNickName]

In before the lock.

 

[Achan hiArusa]

Oh, yeah I had forgotten about 2nd, 1st, BECMI, and OD&D, but that's going to make life hard, how do you equate an attack against fortitude to a system shock or petrification/poison/polymorph save?

 

[Filcher]

Now see, I thought this was a cool new card game someone had cooked up to mock all of us.

Ah well.

 

[Achan hiArusa]

Now that's an idea. Any suggestions?

 

[Remathilis]

Oh, now that would be fun...

You could have 5 factions (Basic, First, Second, Third, and Fourth) Which would have different cards like

Elf. No, just Elf...

Chaotic-Smaotic!

Half-Draconic Fiendish Dire Iron Orche Jelly of Legend!

Take the Last Train to Plotsville

Thac0 Pop-Quiz!

Wait, What Page is that Written On?!?

Wall of Prose


Might be cool...

 

[Aus_Snow]

You could have 5 factions

, and you'll probably burn for that.

 

[Filcher]

I would *SO* shell out cash for this.

The GYGAX is a wild card for completing AD&D hands. MONTE for 3.X. ROUSE for 4E. MENTZER for Basic. ARNESON for OD&D.

If the round ends with too many unplayed "product" cards in your hand you lose points.
