This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Jaeger on January 28, 2025, 03:05:11 PMThe game is not fundamentally more complex than base B/X. What makes it look intimidating, is that it is Very Complete:

There's more to a game than just it's core resolution mechanic.  Storyteller works if you just look at the core mechanic.  It's when you bring in the rest of the system that it falls apart.  These other systems are part of the game too.
