[QUOTE="thormagni, post: 2672869, member: 13637"] I just printed my PDF too. Figured I might as well catch up on all the buzz, y'know? My initial thought is that it looks to be even MORE tactical than regular D&D. So, it probably isn't the game system for Grimhelm's needs. Someone should take a look at Game of Thrones D20. OG has my extra copy, if anyone wants to line up to take a look at it. It is definitely a more descriptive, less mechanical combat system and magic is nearly non-existent. Also I was reading some info about Fudge the other day. Grimhelm might want to take a look at that.
