The monsters are deeply unthreatening in 4th edition, and as you increase in levels and numbers that becomes increasingly true. By tenth level, people were seriously suggesting increasing the number of minions by a factor of four to eight and it wasn't making much difference. But then on the flip s...

There's the Worm webfiction that does a pretty neat job of superpowered society and a universal cause, and some classification schemes. It has whole wikis to read through. As far as word count goes, it goes about a third of the Wheel of Time series, but there's also a full on free audiobook version ...

Mordheim or Bloodbowl video games any good? Blood Bowl is alright. You can toggle between playing it with the game rules as on dice, or as some live event that is not good. Mordheim is an outright disappointment. There is no way to play anything like the tabletop game. They took name identity, and ...

Strike is alright. It was a okay to read, but I doubt I'd actually play it. There is no campaign hook, just a different generic system that looks familiar if you've read 4e, but without some of its pitfalls. Its best part is the combat mini-game, and the rest is mostly superfluous bulk. There's a pu...

Why limit them to the colours at all? There's certainly been more First Strike than just in White and Red, and nearly all the abilities have seen use in a variety of decks. Since you're pre-genning, the division doesn't even come into it. Ground Ambush is really weak compared to the rest. Just make ...

I've played with tracking ritual components in 4e. There was an Arcane, Religion and Nature specific-material, and a catchall 'good for everything' supermaterial. We got the components from looting, butchering and salvaging monster corpses and enemy hideouts. It felt like a nice way to go about givi...

You want Soldier first level due to all the proficiencies. Value of Int (skills) and feasability of Iron Man depend on how disempowered your GM wants you to be during social events, and their prevalence. Is it 'not done' to be in armor during talks, etc. The best skill in the game is Initiative. The...

Working Link for the Let's Play
I played it a few years back on a recommendation, but couldn't chew myself through it. Whatever there are as game mechanics are pretty terrible. It might be worth a watch, but not a play, I'd say.

That's a weak argument, virgil. From the wiki, it does implicitly have nanotechnology, terraforming, Zero-G living, upgrading animal sapience, a computer virus that can infect both machines and animals, and (wait for it) non-theoretical but actual space ships. The applied and available technology fa...

You're speaking of multiple damage tracks with varying timeframes. It sounds like a pain to bookkeep, without adding fun to the table. Also, it is so complicated and full of steps, it has essentially become a HP system, which seems like what you wanted to resolve in the first place. This sounds like...

In Shadowrun I found that every player having the same amount of initiative passes makes them enjoy the game better when combat breaks out. All players having 2 passes, mooks having 1 pass, bad ass guys 2 passes and solo monstrosities 3 passes seems to make everything better, without characters havi...
