I love the exploration of potential it represents.Porkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00604351052444947490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-74349428563244692582011-06-24T15:25:51.750-05:002011-06-24T15:25:51.750-05:00Yeah I'm liking this much better now. This is ...Yeah I'm liking this much better now. This is precariously balancing between the wargame and the RPG, but done right there is no reason why a RPG cannot have these rules added in. It makes it fit in line more with the epic fantasy we read. 3/4ths of the story is just that, a story. That last quarter is the action. No sense why out RPGs can't follow suit.<br /><br />I like it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-20570777632600165892011-06-24T11:49:20.946-05:002011-06-24T11:49:20.946-05:00Well, to be perfectly honest, considering how long...Well, to be perfectly honest, considering how long it takes per the rules to heal up and stuff, my guess is "adventuring" was really meant to be a rather infrequent activity within the context of the game. Maybe a week or two long expedition every couple months max, closer to 2 weeks once a year..? Considering the source material for D&D, this makes a lot of sense. Stories about Conan gloss over his 18 months at sea and get to the one day he encounters a demon.<br /><br />In your opinion, at what point did dungeoncrawling overtake mundanity as the default activity in an rpg? I notice none of the newer versions of D&D have references to dominions granted to high level fighters...Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596247660364673313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-17709479103028151402011-06-24T10:50:14.030-05:002011-06-24T10:50:14.030-05:00I am liking this.I am liking this.Ragnorakkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03812860633134547618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-79933240699835946272011-06-24T09:43:49.693-05:002011-06-24T09:43:49.693-05:00Mutant hybrid, Brad, the overall project is portin...Mutant hybrid, Brad, the overall project is porting (back in, if you trace the thread back to Arneson and the early years of Blackmoor) in a wider stage of wargaming campaign-like activity into D&D.Chris Kutalikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414743509426875792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-39274425413106299582011-06-24T09:40:11.175-05:002011-06-24T09:40:11.175-05:00Is this a roleplaying game or wargame?
