You do not have to care about your characters, every injury and dilemma can be magically taken away, and you can have a get out of death free card….So you are playing first edition still?…If you have someone in your group with a video game mentality, then you're in for some boring games. The person will be obsessed by numbers and powerups, get mad if a condition lasts too long, and will RP only long enough to get to the next battle…. True for any edition any rpg.….The game is flavorless as written. Many actions, including RP actions, can be solved with a simple roll. The rules do not encourage roleplaying, rather, they encourage building a house of numbers… Again I have forgotten what edition you are playing? Of course the first edition had some nice flavor text.Any Dm can add to the game. Hey I used to have magic missle machine guns, dragons as head of spy rings, combat booted grandmas, ninjas, etc and this was my first edition game.</blockquote>
