That's also what I was doing for some time. Then I decided you can easily make a 'convention conversion' of ED to Savage Worlds. Just name 'bennies' Karma Points, and don't worry about anything else. With all those dice used SW is like 'Earthdawn lite' rules, perfect to introduce players to Barsaive...

Earthdawn's setting was the main flaw. They really should have gone more generic since they had a better core system. So, you thing making a crappy dnd ripoff would be better? Really? No comments here, I'm trying to cut on the flamewars recently. @Ckafrica: The game world. Disciplines are part of t...

I'm not saying it was. That would be silly to assume, since most GM's managed to learn game logic. Besides, most Kaers and Citadels were built with minimum space, since that needed a lot of resources. But even in a cavernous location, with lots of space to fly around GM's have one great equalizer in...

I usually try, but during the actual discussion it turns into telling them how that game looks, and how it feels to play it from my own viewpoint. And convincing someone to take on your own viewpoint is not a good idea. You don't want mindless drones (unless you're a self-centered prick with ego obe...

@Fectin: Yeah, that's probably true. It's not the thing then, that one I was writing about was triple-checked by a friend of mine who *shudder* likes math. I'll try asking for the original RB article, maybe someone still has it. @Avoraciopoctules: They're on sale online at the moment. And Earthdawn ...

Okay, I'm going to give it a shot, though I'm not sure I'm the right person to do this. I'm a long-time Earthdawn player, occasionally GM, and a big fan, though not as big as I were once (there was no new material for a while, so I grew bored with the game a bit). And I apologize if this post seems ...

Okay, I've managed to get a hang on her and ask a few questions, and it's not pretty. They're bitter, and scared, especially because things were bad enough before. It might be really as bad as we think... I wanted to write something more, but then someone patted me on the arm, and when i turn around...

And 'this is retarded' isn't a point in any discussion. Especially when we're talking about an half-orc Wizard. Orc blood, and Barbarian as favored class. Martial weapons proficiency, rage, d12 hit points, new class skills. I'd totally go for it. It would make my Wizard a lot more useful to the part...

But you're wrong. Oh I do love posts starting with that phrase. I really really hope you meant 'I (strongly) disagree.' If we have an orc and a gray elf wizard, they both roll/point buy 18s and put them into intelligence, the orc will never, ever be as good as the grey elf. A two-point difference. ...

Isn't it a half-orc actually? We're talking standard 3.x DnD races here, right? Just to be clear. And I don't really see a problem here. Not at all. You want to play an half-orc wizard? Go on, do it. You won't get the magical '18' on Int, yes. But you'll have a Strength bonus to carry more books wit...
