[QUOTE="thedungeondelver, post: 5802027, member: 34865"] [FONT=Century Gothic]The game's entire magic system is replaced by 1e [B]AD&D [/B]psionics. Mandatory. You have to roll d% to try to [I]not[/I] have them. Borrowing a page from [B]HERO SYSTEM[/B], there are now a simple-to-remember 22 character stats. Demihuman level limits are in play for humans, too. Except for Halflings[B]*[/B]. Halflings can level unlimited as fighter or magic-user. A non-optional 500 page splatbook on how to properly play a Kender. Kender are a default race. The default (assumed, written for) campaign world is Kenderplanet. The 1e [B]FIEND FOLIO[/B] is the core monster book. Your old books [B]will[/B] self destruct or be stolen when the new edition hits stores. And only stores. Online sales will be forbidden. This does not however imply purchase will not be mandatory. It will. Character building software is only available via mail order and is distributed on floppy disks. The [B]DDI[/B] subscription guarantees weekly/monthly software updates. No discounts to make up for when your mailman poops directly in your mailbox in revenge will be offered. Miniatures are mandatory, but are all unpainted and unassembled metal. Some kind of metal. It was bought in bulk from the new Iraqi government and is made out of Gulf War I era destroyed tank hulks that were shot by [B]USAF[/B] A10s. The legal team that managed [B]TSR[/B]'s internet presence from 1990-1997 have been rehired. ... *=I like Halflings just fine outside of the joke of this post. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
