[QUOTE="kenada, post: 8283320, member: 70468"] While my preference is for the default, I’d also like to hear people’s experiences with heroic mode. In particular, I wonder how well it works with 3e and newer adventures (like how the default is compatible with old-school ones). I’ve seen it asked a few times on reddit, so I don’t think it is called out in a table anywhere. It’s listed under your tradition benefits for each tradition as well as in the character advancement section of “The Rules of the Game”. The number of starting spells is only called out in the summary of character creation section of “Character Creation” (as far as I can tell). Aside from the obvious similarities with saving throws, I was struck by how much the action economy reminded me of 3e. It’s arguably closer to 4e, but something about it reminded me more of 3e. Character creation is also similar, but it seems much less vulnerable to system mastery compared to 3e and (especially) Pathfinder. I know there was one broken combo (healer/vowed) discovered around release, but it got fixed in errata soon after. Cool. I’ll put that in a separate post. We just had the one so far, but it felt different compared to some of our starts with other systems. Do you have a link to the video? I’d like to give it a watch. I wonder if some of the sector creation stuff from SWN could be repurposed to generate an island-hopping campaign. I guess you’d generate the islands and establish their political boundaries, then switch over to WWN for the fantasy-related tags and other procedures, which isn’t really making all that much use of it. Regardless, it seems like an interesting idea, and divorcing WWN from its core setting seems doable. [/QUOTE]
