I admit I liked them all, though, and a few that aren't there. Still, my experience with indie games is more limited. And of course, I like making stories with<em>traditional</em>systems, too, and borrowing approaches from both.<br/>So, have you got an explanation for this? Why aren't more people on this forum recruiting for indie games, especially the ones that focus on story?<br/>I still haven't found an answer I like for this :D!<br/><br/>By the way, I admit I don't know why Scion is even in the same list as your other games 8-)!<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=52106.msg2919685#msg2919685">Quote from: MadPanda on 08-04-2010, 21:09:16</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I was very disappointed to learn that Fighter/Cleric/Magic-user was not a legitimate class, and even more sad to learn that no, treasure distribution by random die roll was not SOP...plus, of course, you had to account for the weight of what you were carrying.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Fighter-cleric-wizard is a legitimate class in the second edition, isn't it? Not sure about the Red Box, but then, it's one of the systems that I've always liked the least.<br/>Treasure distribution by die roll is something new to me, though :P.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=52106.msg2919826#msg2919826">Quote from: HairyHeretic on 08-04-2010, 21:44:58</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Yeah, I recall those days myself. In my case its about 25 years of playing and GMing, so Panda just edges me out there :)<br/><br/>I started with West End Games 'Ghostbusters', with trying to get a demonic idol out of a possessed taxi, and flushing a vampires ashes down the toilet, which somehow enabled it to reform. Usually I fell back on the tried and trusted 'long uncontrolled bursts of proton pack' :)<br/><br/>From there, red box D&amp;D, Robotech (Palladium), and AD&amp;D saw me through to college. It was really just the last 10 years or so that I've really expanded my game base (ie had cash to afford them ;) )<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>It's only 10 years for me, and you started a little before I was able to read, or when I was first learning reading in my native language ;).<br/>To me, it was the Bloodsword series, then AD&D2e and a bad GM conspired to make me give up on the whole concept of roleplaying. They failed, because I happened to read GURPS 3e, and concluded that since not all systems are bad, maybe there are better groups, too.<br/>Then I found out one of my friends was preparing one of the first local RPG systems. I attended an alpha test, which wasn't memorable only for me, and witnessed a good group. Couldn't play with them due to scheduling issues, but after all, I already had GURPS 3e, and players can be found, if you look hard enough and find a way around the language issues ;D!<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=52106.msg2919913#msg2919913">Quote from: HairyHeretic on 08-04-2010, 22:05:56</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">On the subject of puns, my group is so bad for them we instituted the pun box. Any time you pun, you toss in money .. 20c or so usually, up to maybe a euro for the truly bad puns. So far it's bought us one campaign box set and a couple of other sourcebooks for different systems :)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>I'm so borrowing this idea for one of my groups >:)!<br/><br/><br/>Also, seems like Arhys is going for a generalist Xia. That might lead to an interesting discussion with more dedicated types :D!
