Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Right, so how would you like to play Shadowrun? *hides the new map grind I got*
Oh god, bounce away my friends, hurry! Bounce here and there! Everywhere!
I agree with you on grid combat. I think that's the one aspect of 4th edition that I dislike the most; everything is built around placing little miniatures on a grid.
yesssssssssssssssssssss
Time does fly, yo!
I have one year left on a five year program now and I studied at another university-esque school for two years before that.
Feels like yesterday I started the education I'm on right now. Getting older fucks with the time perception or something.

Alternatively, how so?

Well, slaughtering holy MMO cows was pretty much their raison d'être.
Toughness +10
take all your defenses (Parry, Dodge, Fort, Will, and Toughness) and add +10 to them, that's the DC people have to roll against. Obviously, on your character sheet, keep your bonuses like they are because those bonuses get screwed with, but in combat, when someone is rolling to hit your Parry defense, they're rolling against your Parry bonus + 10
Me. Me. Me. I want to play Shadowrun. I'll even tolerate your grids. I don't get enough opportunity to play Shadowrun.

I'm gonna need to chew on it, but my first reaction is that players are really, really gonna have to focus on keeping their defenses at the PL. The current system has some slack where you can be a couple of points shy of PL for say Fort and still have a decent chance of making a save. I'd need to do the math to be sure but I think if you're less then PL for defenses you're fucked. And what about area effect saves/dodge checks?
when you mentioned you were reading that the other day I actually wrote most of a reply in warning. But it seemed too spoilery so I didn't post it.
But yeah. Even for an author famed for his inability to finish a story, Diamond Age falls apart at the end.

My first character was a ranger. It was awful.
Bards were civilization.
Did you miss the part where he was kiting like 20 guards?
It's easy to miss, it only happens for two whole minutes.
A while back at board game night there were a couple of people in the store going on about how great EQ was and MMOs these days are all just "dumbed down" and too accessable to the unwashed masses.
Then they segued into how much more they liked Pathfinder than 4th ed.
Depends on the campaign style. Using Shadowrun as an example. If the team is an elite group of mercs that live, eat and breath tactics? Give me a grid. If we're a group of Ocean's 11 style thieves then leave the grid at home.
I am a fan for dungeon crawls, or shooty board games like Gears of War. All moving dudes and positioning and AOEing and stuff.
Certainly for Polaris or something it would not be good.
Grids and hexes allow having plastic mans and painting them while drinking beers and showing off your masterful use of a sloppy ink wash over basic dry brushing. I like that part!
Ultimately I am a fanboy for FATE splitting the difference between vague talk only and graph paper only.
High adventure that's beyond compare!
There was also a Q/A session linked over there and one of the questions was "Seriously guys, now Im really curious. What the hell were you trying to do in D2 if you werent seeing which builds could make it to 99?" The answer was, "Entertainment. Play a game, have some fun, waste some time. Playing video games isn't serious business for everyone."
So awesome.
These two months of college have gone away like whoosh definitely.
I just don't wanna do college really. I want to work and buy an apartment and stuffs!
And they say romance is dead ...
