Hi, I use a slightly more complex skill system in the game I GM but it comes closest to your option 2. Basically, wizards increase in power significantly every rank (a new chunk of MPs, a new lot of spells), whereas fighters increase incrementally. So it makes things more fun if they can get...

I see what you're saying, Erik. One might characterize these games as having (an attemp at) balance over a longer span of time - and adventure, or the progression over several levels. As a GM I personally find this more flexibile and interesting than the almost obsessive preoccupation of...

I pretty much agree with Tamerlin. RQ is PERCEIVED to be mainly about Glorantha. Glorantha is (not unfairly) perceived to be somewhat weird. Which may make some people never get round to trying out RQ or its cousins, and realise that its actually a great system for many kinds of RP settings.

alms66 I "incorporated" your contribution in the page and the "Options" thread, please see msg #24 there. cheers, cameron

Based on bulya and Dominik's views (in another thread on this forum) I have added a row to the table for those who like the system "just the way it is". Bear in mind though, that I am not quite trying to ask people "what do YOU prefer for YOURSELF". Obviously most of the participants so-far...

TrippyHippy, I know and like Glorantha (unfortunately where I live there are NO other gamers, and my attempts to find a sustainable Glorantha-based online campaign to play in have always been flummoxed), but I do get danbuter and PhilHibbs point. Glorantha is imbued with a different flavour and...

danbuter, do you like the mechanics completely "as is", or would you like to tweak some bits? If so, please come and contribute to the discussion here: http://dragonwarriors.wetpaint.com/page/DW+II+-+System+vs+Setting Cameron Smith Ordo Draconis Magazine

alms66, just to let you know that based on your detailed suggestions above, I added your name to the appropriate row in my table here on the DW Wiki: http://dragonwarriors.wetpaint.com/page/DW+II+-+System+vs+Setting, please feel welcome to contribute to the discussion. Cameron Smith Ordo...

Guys, you might be interested in - and are invited to contribute to - a "semi-structured discussion page" I have put up at the DW Wiki, about the future evolution of DW and specifically the "System vs. Setting" debate. http://dragonwarriors.wetpaint.com/page/DW+II+-+System+vs+Setting Cameron...

Dear All, OD #2 is very near completion, and after some consideration we would like to experiment with that old stalwart, a "letters page". It is true that in this day and age of wikis, emails, forums, chat and... TWITTER - a letters page may seem more than a little antiquated. However it does...

Folks, I'm glad to announce that the DW Wiki ( http://dragonwarriors.wetpaint.com ) has finally gone "live". The Wiki started in 2008 as a resource for GMs and, owing in part to this and in part to copyright issues, was restricted access. This meant it was free to join but rather a hassle...

Sorry Hal I don't quite get what you mean. I don't mind buying things over the web I just hate reading PDFs!

Hmm. Where I live there are zero gaming stores in the whole country. And as far as I can see, within a 4000km radius, hehe. I know that strictly speaking I could dig around and find most of the PDFs for those games online but in practice its much less fun. Plus I hate reading big documents...

I mainly used it to fit the online campaign I am currently running into a wider background within Ellesland. And from there ended up preparing some of the more general background materials I had prepared, on the wiki. Also the general discussion which accompanies the Thuland page, about its...

I GM an online game also set in Thuland. And there is a village with a monastery in it (http://dragonwarriors.wetpaint.com/page/Athelsham) - although the players haven't got there yet! Brass Jester, I maintain a page on the DW Wiki which lists gaming groups - so that new players can find...
