ASTOUNDINGold skool, new skool???here is what works, all editions are built on similar principles and concepts. we just boiled them down to as little as possible and, following the design principles of 3e, created a unifying mechanic.to do this required going back to aspects of earlier editions such as 6 saving throw categories. there are good reasons for this.old skool? new skool?I no longer no where to begin.Long and the short. The game is not generated for grognards only. grogs may be attracted to it for specific reasons but really, i mean, its a small portion of a tiny market.its similarity to earlier editions of the game reflects a design philosophy not a rules set.Oh fir ding blast. I am going to go collect some thoughts and post a real post about something real. Like .... Battlestar Galactica ( i give it a 9 out of 10 hoot hoot. but i give desperate housewives a 10 out of 10)Breakdaddy - did i tell ya. Awesome. mac and i started conversions months ago but quit cause we do not have time but, perhaps early in the spring we can get together and start working on this. i think it would be waaaay cool.more later.davis - i need to stay on topic.</blockquote>
