[QUOTE="amerigoV, post: 5634273"] I'll say this after playing many, many, years of D&D - the mechanics make the game more fun. At first, they are "gamey" but I find that fades into the background. Most people have played D&D long enough that they accept its gamist elements as "normal", so something like Savage Worlds feels more gamey. Also, its fun to watch the energy of a table rise in excitement as someones gets on a roll and Aces multiple times (or dread, if the GM is doing it). I find the system is more "simulist" from the tactics side. If someone starts shooting, you get to cover or go prone. People piling on you, even lowly extras, can take you down fast. The system definately supports the Action Movie Genre well. Would you elaborate here on your thought? I have always veiwed D&D fantasy as very action oriented and I have run/played in a couple of campaigns using SW. Or do you view the "type" of action to be different? I think I first heard of SW in conjunction with Eberron as a matter of fact. [/QUOTE]
