[QUOTE="Philotomy Jurament, post: 5594981, member: 20854"] That *is* how I play D&D, so yes. Maybe. I'd probably just play [i]Stormbringer[/i] or [i]Runequest[/i], instead. Yes. I've played D&D like this, using the [i]Lankhmar[/i] supplement for 1e AD&D. Feels more "swords-n-sorcery" to me. Probably. This doesn't sound terribly different from what I do when we don't use minis. 1e AD&D's system works well, for this: you have a general melee where the combatants don't necessarily have perfectly defined positions, but are assumed to be maneuvering around within. Flanking and such is determined by how many enemies you're facing. And of course DM judgment and situational circumstances (e.g. you're holding a doorway or a fixed position) can dictate common sense rulings that "overturn" those concepts. Eh, I dunno. I'm not so big on that with D&D. If you're talking about effects like poison or paralysis, I'm fine with it. If you're talking about critical hits, I'm less enthusiastic, as far as D&D goes. I'd be more likely to just play [i]Rolemaster[/i] or [i]Runequest[/i], if I'm looking for this kind of thing. I'd like it a little more granular than that. Maybe 12 levels. I'd just play [i]Runequest[/i]. In the right campaign, sure. Again, in the right campaign, I think this could work. Sure, that's cool. [/QUOTE]
