@nisjasper Meiner Erfahrung ist der Kampf bei häufig zu ausgeglichen oder ultratödlich! Darf ich einige Dinge vorschlagen, die für uns sehr funktionier(t)en:
- keine Monsterwerte, Antagonisten wie PCs
- Kämpfe in mehrere Paarungen aufteilen
- Magie / Fernkampf beachten, geht oft auch durch, wenn man verliert
- Stunts / Ideen sind oft ein Muss. Ich werte sie als Spezialaktion neben/anstatt des Kampfwurfes. bietet m. E. die beste Erklärung der Stunts.
- Hausregeln...

A friend is coming for lunch and to play some games. Until then, I'll pass the time with . As I said before, the is based on my all-time heartbreaker (officially: ). was the second ever. The essence always remained the same - also in . The comprehensive volume combines the quite easy and (incl. monsters). No variant has ever explained the stunt system better.

24) COMPLEX / SIMPLE RPG you play

Basically, I play every game once, or at least I try to.

I come from whose creator was not fully convinced by , so he developed something more rules-light & narrative. is also quite simple. On the other hand, we had a lot of fun with / & . plays almost intuitively in contrast to . Experience shows that complex systems lead to "boring" rules research/discussions.

20) Will still play in TWENTY years time

Survival of the fittest? Still alive?

was my first love and will be my last?

Maybe some right-wing apologists have overtaken the hobby?

Seriously, I don't know.

18) Favourite game SYSTEM
What an outrageous question, I can't decide - aka it depends.
Unrivalled:
- , lots of and

- / , 🤘
- Old , and
- , with a twist
- ..., ( + )
- (, !), very storytelling engines

The next cool thing that isn't and/or a clone/ripoff.

:As mentioned before, I'm not a fan of the hackneyed adventure playstyle. allows this style of play, but places a lot of emphasis on context building. To get "everything" out of your characters, there is hardly any way around joining a cult, guild or other organisation.
There were reasons for the developments in the late 80s, early 90s - even if some revisionists would like to turn back the clock.

THE LAIR OF THE LEOPARD EMPRESSES!
I did it and got me a copy. I was, no, I am a fanboy! Exclamation mark!
Frankly, I didn‘t expect what did to the system. This is a love letter to !
Beware : ‘s combat is probably one of the most brutal on the market. Without creativity / ideas you will get killed by stronger antagonists / monsters! This book comtains the best explanation of the Stunt System I‘ve seen so far. Wow.
I‘m stunned.

12) Old game you STILL play
Hm, another question where many people will be putting some variant of in the foreground.
I still play sometimes, but the current edition.
Frankly, I would play nearly all old games again.
No with for me again. I always disliked this stupid concept a lot.

11) WEIRDEST game you've played
For tactical / boys and gals is probably weird.
I vote for ! "Relive the glory days of floppy disks, dot-matrix printers and 128K RAM with this collection of party games inspired by the text-adventures of the 1980s."
GO NORTH, LIGHT LAMP & GET SWORD!
The excellent can get also really weird.
with shared narrative rights may create weird twists, just like .

05) OLDEST game you've played?
, pardon?!
? Strange question. ?

Oldest ?

Most people will answer . Without information about the edition or variant, it is probably not very informative. Wasn't the darling a ripoff/clone of ? ?
I must have played one of these old versions once. Don't care much.
I answer (5e?, end of the 70s? ). BTW: In my opinion, the core of didn't change much over the decades/editions...

@Heimdayl I love ! I bought the deluxe edition years ago and tons of the solo modules.

I can't wait to see what's next since they got bought out. It sounds like they might possibly be doing a relaunch of everything.

@HeyeBodo Friends of mine, players, are using cards for critical damage and they like it a lot. I like also crits but, as you mentioned, they often slow down the game. I think the card concept is at least worth considering, especially if everything relevant is then on the cards. I‘m a huge fan of , which is usually ultra brutal. The group needs ideas to overcome stronger adversaries. In theory I like attack and defense actions, in practice they end up dull.

So... I had a dream last night that someone found a long forgotten vintage pirate themed adventure module written by SEGA (Yes. That SEGA)

It looked awesome as I flipped through the pages. But to be honest it was a real missed opportunity as they failed to work in any of their classic franchises and characters.

Dreams are wierd...

By the way: 2nd Edition has been released by . Back then we played some which was a variant of the first edition of the system. We liked it quite a bit…

As a fan of I like, no, I prefer d6-based rules.

Hopefully, Green Ronin will do a conversion.

While watching Season 2, a series that certainly offers the most ruthless and nasty fights in history of , I ask myself which offers the fastest and meanest combat system. I used to play - definitely overly brutal, but fast? / can also be very dirty, but fast is something else.
?

I think / with a handful of HP doesn’t count, on higher levels it rather goes in the direction of attrition.
