A modern game will involve a significant amount of shooting people, possibly in the face, with guns. D20 modern makes the mistake of saying “guns are ranged, use dexterity”. In a game with firearms, the man holding a sword looks foolish. And in a game without spell effects, points spent on Wisdom lo...

That seriously doesn't work. GnG is seriously designed to murderate people at the drop of a hat. If you don't want GnG to murder people at the drop of a hat then you're going to have to pull your punches all the time or they will die at the drop of a hat . Let's take the real world as an example: pe...

I guarantee you will not accomplish what you're looking to accomplish. The only way to make players fear for their character's lives truly and honestly is to constantly murderate them . It doesn't matter the system, but if PC's generally survive encounters, then players will assume they'll survive t...

You get a critical failure if you don't have enough hits to succeed AND you have more ones than hits. This means that you have a better chance of succeeding if you've got more dice (more dice=more chances for hits). But you've also got more chances of rolling 1's, and eventually you can be rolling e...

Combat Casting is a trap because there exists Skill Focus: concentration. The +1 difference is absolutely blown away by the fact that you can almost always get out of having to cast defensively, but if you fight in a storm or on horseback you'll get totally hosed. Stealthy would be a trap option com...

I would honestly rather prefer rocks falling on people and them not being particularly hurt over horrible violence being done to humanoids but it being okay because they emit sparks and gears instead of blood and guts. Wait, actually, I don't know which of those is worse. I do know that the JLA meth...
