[QUOTE="froggie, post: 6280178, member: 2936"] [b]I love it this way[/b] Its all player and DM skill. I am biased (of course) since we make SW--but that is why we made the pdf of the book free. Simplicity stops people from looking at stats and makes them look at the adventure. I can also handle (and do at conventions)--12-15 players easily. Think I had 16 at Gencon, and regularly have 12-18 at NTRPG and Paizocon. The thing is--everyone at my table plays and gets to participate (ok--I may have a little experience at large groups:)) The other thing is that kids (I am a huge supporter of getting kids into the hobby) can figure out the rules and then focus on what they are doing in the game; rather than what their character CAN do, they focus on what their character WILL do. Sure its more lethal than newer games, but half the fun is worrying about dying--if the risk is not there, there is no thrill to this. Great stuff guys and gals. Any of you going to Dallas in June, Paizocon or if you live near Seattle look me up. Bill Webb [/QUOTE]
