Huh?

Reported for awesomeness, of course!

I don't know what other possibility there could be.

I'm intrigued by the mathematical descriptor. Is that a guide to the character, or a warning to the player?

I have to credit 4e with a lot of the "push" here, both in getting me off my onager,

Why were you on a catapult in the first place?

Parsing the problems of editions 1-3, with some thoughts about how they should/could be "fixed" really increased my appreciation of Gary's original design. There was definitely a real sense of how later innovations caused unexpected problems, and I hope that this game (which is, if successful, a fusion of old and new design criteria) will be able to use the better (IMHO) innovations while avoiding the problems caused by them in 3e.

That will be my approach, if I ever get around to doing "glass's Fantasy Game". Of course, which bits of old and which bits of new will be different.

I'll know I've done it right when I can run Keep on the Borderlands and Keep on the Shadowfell with no more than 2 hours prep work on either module, and with relatively equal success. Is that too much to ask?

Sound reasonable to me!

An onager is also an ass.

I was on the catapult for making bad puns. Vengeance is swift around these parts.

I nearly asked why you were sitting on a donkey...I didn't make the connection to ass (perhaps because on my side of the pond it's arse).

(2) The text will be 90% or more OGC, meaning that you can use whatever you like when you devise GFG. I look forward to stealing from GFG myself.

Hopefully, one day you'll be able to! But, don't hold you breath. I'm not really close to starting yet, let alone finishing. I have a few idea bouncing around in my head, but I have no idea how to go about making it all fit together.

For example, I'd like to do priority based character generation like in previous editions of Shadowrun, so a more powerful race requires sacrifices in other areas -but balancing that would be a real trick!

Disguising a shameless bump by asking a question...

Hi RC,

Can I ask you to speak a little more about your initiative system? One of the main stumbling blocks to my aforementioned gFG (apart from time!) is figuring out how I want initiative to work.

Am I right in thinking that smaller weapons will be the faster ones? Or do you do it the other way around (based on reach)?

While making action speed more important, did you consider going the whole hog with a fully tick based system? If so, why did you rule it out?
