So Sunday I get to start a new campaign. I have 2 old timers, 2 sometimers (3e & 4e) and 2 noobs. 2e is my favorite edition but im currious abut giving 4e/2050 the old college try. I think that the matrix rules look slightly friendlier to new players, the 4e cheat sheets are awesome (again for new players), and edge > karma pool (well i had PCs with 500+ karma in the day and the KP was insane by then, caping it is not a bad thing), but it has the downsides of lack all the fun pools (combat, sorcery, etc), has overpowered mind control spells, spirits too easy to summon... For the record i dont see stat+skill or static TNs as any kind of advantage, im rather neutral on it.
So should I stick with what I know or take a chance? |
