[QUOTE="Alaxk Knight of Galt, post: 3896217, member: 4129"] Yeah, the first rule in my DM/GMing style is to cheat. Now I will roll certain key points in daylight, but the DM screen allows me to take the game directions where the dice didn't want to go. I don't do it all the time, but I do it enough :) . Make sure the movie/novel level of excitement is there, even if you have to cheat to get it :cool: While I've never played amber, I really like the concepts behind it. For those who don't know, there is an auction at the beginning of the game where you wager for your skills. Once won/purchased, you always win if your better then someone else. The best example is swordsman. If you spent all your points on your sword skill, whenever you dueled someone, you were going to win. I'm currently running a 7th Sea game which for me meets my requirement of a rules light system. Its a very cinematic game that encourages players to do dramatic actions. Think Three Musketeers. It's a fun game system, a very cool world, and well worth a trip to your local used bookstore to snag a copy. [/QUOTE]
