Without disparaging the ideas so far, most of which I like, I am not sure any of them really take advantage of the opportunity that introducing an entirely new system into the game offers. So, let me start off by offering 3 radical goals for a new crafting system: Offer a rewarding play style for th...

I have argued that the paradigm should be changed from one limiting the allocation of experience toward each specific stat, to one where the system would only limit extremely disproportionate resulting stat proportions. While I am still not sure I am advocating bringing back entering numerical stat ...

These suggested changes to Brute and Questing actually seem to be somewhat counter-productive to me. For starters, Brute is primarily a big character problem and short of exposure to the agonizing on these forums, I simply can not envision a new player looking at their Brute-adjusted growth curve an...

Cel, it would seem that I sacrificed far too much clarity in favor of brevity, as I was thinking much the same things. On the point where our visions differ, I would argue that while allowing selection from indiscriminate "team wanted" posters would be quicker and easier to code, the forma...

Perhaps it is "The Cliche", but as the subject has come up, I am rather partial to this idea.

Now, it is pretty much unremarked and unremarkable that Calians don't go killing insi...

I understand why you don't have the time to play Strider.. No, they are different sized rocks . I usually have a book on me, and use it to kill a lot of smaller pieces of time, like in a queue or on the train. Sigh, So many incorrect answers. I thought that was the whole point of the 'net. Still, i...

I am not sure that there are not some unfortunate side effects if you give each guild stat its own brute or if that would accomplish everything we might want. Rather than start recommending tweaks, I'd like to back up and discuss goals: Death and death recovery should not be a path to advancement. E...

Rather than waiting for or expecting a polished product, such primers could be fleshed out in individual threads in this otherwise under-utilized forum . I should also get around to adding that I believe that is actually impossible to have a system that rewards roleplay, because the reward itself re...

Let me expand your list, Tarax: a random existing faction a new neutral faction like Barbarians from Que-shu Minotaurs new factions specific to the character's other Dragonlance affiliation the existing faction whose "war token" the character is qualified to be carrying a new faction desig...
