    I bought Basic Roleplaying from Chaosium

    The biggest change between this and the big gold book is that to cripple/remove a limb you need to do 3 times the locations HP instead of twice HP. Other than that nothing seems really new-fangled. Sure, a minor change here and there, which always happens between editions, is present.

    Play Testers wanted for new fantasy RPG

    Like two people above me, I got denied, so I sent you a message via google.

    Malazan Book of the Fallen

    I'm iffy on them. When Erickson is rocking he rocks like there's no tomorrow, but, like most writers, some of it isn't on par. I couldn't finish the 4th book, but I'll read the 5th when I get around to it in the next couple of months.

    The physical fitness encouragement and accountability thread.

    I was rucking twice a week (3.2 miles), walking 3 times, and bicycling twice until my hammer toes got too bad. Now i sit around and dream about walking/rucking/bicycling. The good news is I see a podiatrist in little over 2 weeks so I can get my toes fixed. Then I'll build back up before...

    The purge (collection talk)

    I might have half that amount left, if not a third. I went minimalist in my life and don't have crap for games anymore. This doesn't include pdfs, for which I have gigs of them). I'm left with some 1E AD&D and various clones like Hyperborea, Ars Magica, BRP (RQ 3, CoC, the new BRP book...

    Thank you, for this post. I'm always looking for marvelous writers. Yes, I know, 3 years late... ;)

    Pub's Favorite RPGs

    Once I wake up for this day, I'll get to reading that stuff. Time to brew the coffee. *I always wake slowly. One of my meds levels me... Same here. I should use the EABA way instead of my mastery of handwavium.

    Pub's Favorite RPGs

    BRP EABA Barbaric 2E (oddly, I like the Traveller system better for fantasy)

    I'm Not that into Mythras

    I'm an old RQ3 DM. Mythras got too crunchy for me. The source material is good, so it has that going for it.

    Basic Roleplaying: Universal Game Engine

    Constitution also increases fairly easily at first. Boot camp shows this, for an easy example.

    Basic Roleplaying: Universal Game Engine

    I was reading an article or watching a video about old people and keeping their brain working well. Learn a new skill, drop it, and then learn something new, repeat. Fascinating stuff.

    Basic Roleplaying: Universal Game Engine

    There are a few changes I like. At least changes from RQ3 which was my go to game for many years. 1. Rounding is always up now instead of down. 2. Hit locations become totally worthless at 3 times their HP instead of double. I'm sure there's more, but I'm half awake waiting on coffee.

    Favourite Dice Size?

    And here I thought you were asking about the physical size of dice. :grin:

    What’s a critically acclaimed RPG you don’t like?

    FATE: Can't wrap my head around it, and I like FUDGE. PbtA: Blah. D&D 3 and onwards: I see feats and my eyes immediately glaze over. Also the HD going on forever.

    Crimson Escalation

    I'll have to get a copy of that because that's exactly what I mean! :grin:

    Crimson Escalation

    I received the proof read this pdf and that cleared up my question. I was meaning crit charts like, say, from Against the Darkmaster. I'm interested in something like that, so I'll work on my own and see how it goes. :)

    Crimson Escalation

    Have you considered making crit charts, or does that veer off track?

    How important is Strength for Melee combat really?

    Not good editing so forgive me tagging everything. Also on my iPad and that screws me up typing. The Mountain will roll in BJJ with a black belt and crush the guy cause he’s just too strong for the black belt. I was reading or watching something about it a week or so back. You guys mentioning...

    Halflings. Love/Hate?

    Not a fan of them. I see gnomes mentioned, and I like them so I modified them into dwarven spellcasters/priests. A dwarven wizard is a gnome. Easy peasy
