[QUOTE="GMMichael, post: 9242690, member: 6685730"] This is tempting, given the errors that were reportedly in the first edition/printing. But I have a worse one... Modos 2, Free Edition. Because: [LIST] [*]No pictures. I know, it's not a mechanic, but it hurts my eyes. [*]Only one table, unless you count the gear lists. How do I know what abilities my tiefling warlock gets at each level!? [*]Modularity. Lame. If I want more rules or adventures, I'll just buy a heftier game. [/LIST] And don't get me started on the mechanics. Okay, I'll get started. [LIST] [*]Tie rolls. I have to get a higher roll result than the difficulty to succeed. Like, I don't just win if I get the same number. And then, if I get the same number, I might have to tell the GM something interesting about the effort, otherwise, I HAVE TO RE-ROLL! [*]Hero points. Apparently, I have to literally role-play to get more of these, but a long rest counts, too. [*]Active defense. If I want to avoid damage, I have to use time and effort to do it. Sad. At least heavy armor absorbs most of it. [*]Difficult spells. So, I guess spells are called powers, and higher level powers have a higher and higher chance of failure. So if I want to cast them, my warlock has to get gud at them. So I just made him a tiefling fighter instead. Which wasn't hard, because I guess warlocks can use swords and armor. So weird. [/LIST] On the plus side, there are only three stats - not enough to need a dump stat. But still, it makes me wonder why I wrote the game in the first place ;) If it's your worst too, tell me why! After all, the OP calls for developing better games in the future. [/QUOTE]
