Hi I'm an old skool player and I used to be on dumpshock all the time but not recently. 4e feels very ghost in the shell in nature but there no reason you couldn't take the rules back to 2050. Anyone done it?
I have some 4e reservations. Overall I think I like it better than 3e (the only improvement I saw in 3e was magic, the rest of it I prefer 2nd or 1st) One problem I have is the WOW factor from a GM giving out a TN of 42 and watching all the players gather round as the player falls to 1 die, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42!!!!!!!!! I've played a lot of nWOD and it doesn't have that WOW factor (I still like nWOD) so my fear is 4e wont have that same WOW factor. The other big thing is I miss priorities and whats with all these edges and flaws they used to be optional now it feels like if I don't have them I'm missing out. I don't think any of these have to be game breakers I'm just wondering if anyone has created some house rules or done things to tweek 4e in an old skool direction. Thanks |
