The thread about complex RPGs made me wonder:
What do you consider a perfectly average complexity game for YOU?
Meaning there are games that are easier and games that are harder. What is the exact middle of the scale?
(it doesnt have to be a game you like or play currently, just a game you...
An interesting side observation:
D&D 3.x clearly had a LOT of work put into it to make the game engine simulate a fantasy world (which is different from simulating a realistic world) and past the first handful of levels, it becomes extremely complex as the options start mounting and combining...
They are not THAT complex, but the skill system in Mutant 2 seems a good candidate for seemingly everybody looking at it and going "nah".
edit: Also any encumbrance system that requires recalculating after swapping out an armour piece (Harnmaster)
I found Eon, Harnmaster and Rolemaster easy but Khelataar made my eyes glass over when i tried to figure out how the xp and skills are supposed to work.
A lot of complex games are just process heavy (Harnmaster) or have a lot of options (old Eon)
Games of interest this weekend:
Bundesliga: Mainz vs Wolfsburg. Watching this one with some friends over breakfast, but it will be a house divided since my kid likes Mainz while I am WOB first.
NSL: Vancouver Rise plays Montreal. A tough game but one that is winnable at this point.
German...
What music, band, album has been stuck in your head all week? Preferably with a link.
For me, I rediscovered an album we used to listen to in college while playing 40K.
Complete cheese
Pardon if I mis spelled the title.
I was rereading the fiction bit in the opening of the original Eon book and found myself really liking it.
What specific pieces of fiction (as opposed to setting or background) in Swedish RPG books have you really liked?
Actual tie in novels don't count...
We stan. We stan.
Okay, lets get a bit of culture in this joint:
