[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 7632119, member: 1013"] I run S&W in a meat grinder dungeon. Stats don't matter much, there aren't any skills to speak of, and the rules are pretty sparse. Awesome! Tell me what your PC is doing and I'll adjudicate according to the rules we have and if there aren't any I'll use my best judgment and try to be consistent. Its a more player focused game IME, less fiddling about with the knobs and dodads on your character sheet, and more engaging with the game environment. One thing I've realized over the decades is rules can only get in the way of fun, for the most part. None of the more rules heavy systems I ran or played in, were more fun due to the heavier rules systems. The fun was always from how a player tried to approach a situation. But my group isn't a bunch that likes too tweak PC builds and work away from the game table. Its pretty casual beer and pretzels gaming group and a system like S&W works just fine for us. Some you can do all that and more with 5e, 4e, PF, etc. And if so bless you! For dungeon bashing D&D style gaming S&W works perfectly for me without having to house rules it up a lot. [/QUOTE]
