[QUOTE="Samurai, post: 1479172, member: 3850"] Hey Ken! First, welcome back to the gaming community. I myself moved out of the big city to a smaller town, and feared I'd never find a role-playing group here. It took almost half a year, but I finally found a good group and I'm gaming again... hopeful you'll find (or create!) some new gamers yourself. I like the rules... MUCH leaner and more straight-forward than the previous set (which, I'll be honest, I didn't care for... too complex). I'm going to give them a try, but with 1 change: I know you want size to matter, but I think it's a bit too much for my tastes. Also, while the bonuses/penalties for attacks are doubled each time (1,2,4,8), for Soak and Damage they are linear (4,8,12,16). I've decided to make all of them all double, so that they match, and so that characters of Small or Large size are not quite so domineering or handicapped. The new size modifiers (for soak and damage) I'll be using are 2, 4, 8, 16. This leaves the top modifiers (Fine and Colossal) where they currently are, but reduces the others by a few points each. So Otis will have a -1 attack and +2 Soak and Damage, while Harold has +1 and -2/-2. I'll be leaving Str as the modifier for melee attacks, as I don't want Dex to become even more crucial a stat than it already is. By the way, thank you for releasing it as a Word Doc... it makes it simple to implement personal changes like this before printing it out! Most people don't have an Adobe pdf writer, and must write any changes to a pdf in ink on the printout, which looks ugly. [/QUOTE]
