I'm beginning to think about working out a system and I've always preferred a random system but I think some sort of structure is always helpful. My current...
I prefer mages having access to all spells (may be deviding it into different types of magic such like fire magic, healing magic or telepathy). I guess that is...

But are we dealing with set spells -- i.e, a fireball is a fireball no matter who makes it, with the same stats? This is just an idea, but perhaps when you...
Anyone do any gaming in the non-normal areas of RPGing? I mean, not magic, or very little. Not fantasy (early medieval), but more later such as c.1500 during...
I was just wondering... Personally the whole levelling up thing bugs me. I don't believe that people move in stage-like patterns based on their occupation...

I like the Granularity of levels. I'm not playing the game for realism. I'm playing to have fun. Conflict and difficulty are part of that fun-ie., not...
Much of the discussion in this group is about what the GM, designer wants. How many people also play in games at least half the time? I also would like to...
In an RPG i have been running for awhile, our system of leveling up is somewhat different. First, every character starts completely playable in almost all...
I personally do not like using "levels" in my role-playing games. With levels, players worry more about "leveling up" and min/maxing their characters instead...
So, what is the real difference between level 1 and level 4? How fast do skills advance? I see no problem with getting large numbers of XP. The numbers for d20...
... Actually I find the D&D XP scales to be not too bad (especially since in this edition at least only one scale is used, well aside from that multiclassing...
Actually I have always found that classless leveless points based systems are far more inclined towards min maxing and unballanced play. Infact most points...
